My Brother “Sold” My Rentals — Then 8 Managers Called Him

The living room smelled like cinnamon and pine. My brother Marcus stood by the Christmas tree in his new Brunello Cucinelli sweater, holding a leather folder. Our parents sat on the cream sofa. My sister Rachel and her husband occupied the loveseat. Uncle Tom leaned against the fireplace mantel. The air felt heavy with expectation. "I've been handling Emily's property situation," Marcus said. He opened the folder with theatrical precision. "Those eight rentals she's been clinging to? Sold them. All of them. Closed yesterday." My coffee cup stopped halfway to my mouth. The ceramic felt suddenly hot against my palm. "The buildings were falling apart," Marcus continued. "She couldn't manage them properly. I found buyers willing to overlook the neglect. Got $320,000 total." Mom clasped her hands together. "Oh, Marcus. That's wonderful." "I'm distributing the proceeds as Christmas gifts." He pulled out checks with a flourish. "Mom and Dad, $80,000. Rachel and Jeff, $80,000. Uncle Tom, $40,000. The rest covers my commission and closing costs." I set my cup down carefully on the coffee table. The ceramic made a soft click against the wood. The sound seemed unnaturally loud in the moment. "Marcus," I said quietly. "You didn't sell anything." He didn't look at me. His eyes stayed fixed on the folder. "The paperwork's done. Money's already moved. You should be thanking me." Rachel hugged him. "This is incredible. We can finally renovate the kitchen. The contractor said he could start in January."
