Their first move was to locate every listing where Mr. Perkly had posted her apartment for sale. One by one, they created anonymous accounts to leave detailed reviews, each one pointing out the apartment’s shortcomings. It was risky, but they knew it might deter a few interested buyers.
In the reviews, they highlighted everything from occasional plumbing issues to poor insulation. They didn’t exaggerate wildly—just enough to make any buyer think twice. The apartment began accumulating unappealing reviews, and with each one, Stacey felt a glimmer of hope.
