You might look at these pictures and suspect these are weird people, but you can’t know that for sure. That is.. until you get to the dinner table with rolling chairs. Then it’s fact.
Terrible Estate Agent Photos
Terrible photos listed by estate agents/realtors that are so bad they’re funny.
Posting guidelines.
Posts in this community must be of property (inside or out) listed for sale which contains a terrible element. “Terrible” can refer to:
-
the photo itself (finger over the lens, too far away, people in the shot, bad Photoshop, etc.)
-
the property (weird layout, questionable plumbing, unsound structure, etc.)
-
the interior (carpeted bathrooms, awful taste interiors, weird mannequins/taxidermies/art, inflatable pools indoors, etc.)
-
the actual listing itself including unusual descriptions and unrealistic pricing. However, this isn’t a community to discuss the housing market in general. This is a comedic community - let’s keep it light.
-
Photos can be sourced from anywhere and be any age, but please check they haven’t already been posted.
-
Censor any names/contact details of private individuals.
-
Mark the post NSFW if it includes nudity or sensitive content

- No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.
I'm imagining trying to cut a discount rack steak and it'd be infuriating.
Basement has basement? Is that recursive?
"Honey do you think we have too much brown?"
"Definitely. What we need is a murder carpet. And a single chair, for when we want to watch our victims bleed out.
I don't think that's actually a tub. I think it's just a hole in the floor where the tub used to be. I'm pretty sure that's a cut off water pipe in the back lol
Oh my that's even better.
For that price where I live that place would be snatched up in a split second, interior be damned.
That said, most of that is cosmetic and can be cleaned up with some elbow grease. Been there and done that, I wouldn’t have a problem with buying it.
This place would need gutting down to the studs. There is not a single fixture or cabinet which is anywhere close to acceptable.
Unless the utilities are insufficient that might be a little drastic, especially if there’s no damage. Upgrading everything would be the only reason I’d want to demo it all. You could get away with new countertops, sinks, and appliances. Refacing the cabinets. Stripping the wallpaper (gawdamn do I hate doing that shit. Wallpaper is evil, especially when it’s multiple layers deep) and giving it a good prime and paint. The floors almost all need redoing.
Point being it doesn’t have to be stripped down to the bones to make it look pretty good. If you want all the modern cheap trim, core doors, and Home Cheapo tile to make it look like a new tract home for no other reason than to make it look like everything else, sure. Demo away.
Poor homeowner thinking their house is stupid popular with the number of views when really it’s just piling on to make fun of their design choices.
I'm getting old, man. All I see is yes, it needs some updating, but dropping 100k into it on top of the mortgage would make it pretty nice and it would still be cheaper (and nicer) than my place.
But do you look forward to just sort of falling into the tub? Lol.
Might make for a good prank somehow, but yeah, could also be considered a slight fall hazard, haha.
So bad it's good.
photo number 25:
At first (and kind of still) I thought it was a carpeted shower. Even if it's a bathtub, it looks more like a well with carpeted stairs leading up to it.
Maybe a ladder inside would help?
You're a hero.
Anyone wanna move to Iowa with me and go halfsies on this?
I’ll pay for the whole thing just to get rid of that damn carpet in the bathroom.
Dude, 4 beds, 3 baths, 2,834 sq ft, for $259,900?! My stupid house is 2 bed, 2 bath 1,500 sq ft and it cost me $300,000. I don't give a damn about that garbage bathroom, I'd buy the shit outta that house
The biggest problem with this house is that it is located in Iowa. If this place was in DC or NYC or Seattle, they'd slap some paint on it and list it for $800k
there's lots of more affordable housing in less popular places. this is nothing new.
That’s about £206,000. That wouldn’t buy you my 2 bedroom 1 bathroom mid-terrace house here. And by wouldn’t buy I mean you’d be around £100k short. Different fucking worlds.
But you'd have to live in Iowa.
Ah good point. Nevermind then.
Not just in Iowa, but in Marshall Town, the largest small town an hour away from a metro area in central Iowa.
angry slipknot noises
Doom dabp a doom bah diggadigga.
Bruh that's Korn
...oh yeah... Bakersfield isn't in Iowa? >.>
My thought too. Almost made me try to finally figure out where Iowa actually is.
If you do make sure to take more pictures of that tub for me.
