People often get into a career because of the way it looks in their imagination, and that picture isn't always accurate. So when they get in, the daily grind shows them that the job can be vastly different from the idealized image they initially held in their minds.

Enter the 'Real Estate Broker Disillusioned With Life.' It's a parody Facebook page that features questionable Lithuanian property listings. The ones that our fictional broker didn't see themselves working with when they were entering the industry.

But here they are, photographing bathtubs in the kitchen and house walls painted with Adidas stripes, asking themselves how are they going to sell this.

We managed to get in touch with the person running this Facebook page and they were kind enough to have a little chat about it. "I do managerial work in an absolutely different sphere," they told Bored Panda

"But once it so happened that I had a considerable amount of money in my bank account and I didn't have a home. II had the freedom to choose: I thought about a small apartment in the old town, a hut in the village, even some kind of nonsense, which, after renovation, could be turned into a decent place."

"That's how I browsing through real estate listings. It became very interesting," they explained.

Can this go into one of the threads about "Bad ideas, beautifully executed"? It's simultaneously gorgeous and hideous.

Looks like this used to be a beauty parlour, or maybe a "massage" parlour

A rose by any other name does not smell as sweet when that name is wallpaper.

The person behind the page said that they were drawn not by real estate itself, but by its presentation—the photos and descriptions.

"I myself have taken photos of my relatives' properties, posted ads for them, and helped people buy a new one."

"The transactions happened quickly and both parties were satisfied. The real estate sector is one of my hobbies. Sometimes it even bothers me, because when I drive down the street I know what is being sold and for how much. Or how much it should cost."

The 'Real Estate Broker Disillusioned With Life' said that there were times when they would find a listing and burst out laughing.

"I started sending them to my friends and we would laugh together," they recalled. And that's when they got the idea for the page. "Initially, it was called 'The most amazing real estate ads.'"

"But then one angry lady called me a real estate broker disillusioned with life, which is exactly who I am. So thank you, lady!"

The page currently has 9.9K followers and requires considerable time and effort. "I go through at least 500 listings every day. Even more on weekends. I'm addicted to them," the 'Real Estate Broker Disillusioned With Life' said with a smile.

"As the number of fans grew, I started getting a lot of links to real estate ads. But often I've already seen them. I choose the ones that seem strange to me, that something is wrong with them. And I have a permanent collection where I compile them into something like a vinaigrette, one photo at a time because it happens, for example, that a house looks normal but with some nonsense, like a cherry on the cake."

The page features only Lithuanian listings, and the disillusioned broker has noticed some similarities between them.

"Lithuanians want to live well and beautifully. And they do," they said. "But they install many things themselves, trying to save money. Most of the time, this means you're working without an interior designer."

"There are a lot of non-liquid buildings erected during the time the country was under the Soviet occupation. These houses often surprise you with their arches, canopies, the size and number of rooms, strange windows, and corners upon corners, plaster mouldings, painted panels, etc. The most interesting case was when the basement had a basement of its own."

The person behind the page said there's also a lot of imaginary luxury.

"For example, you get to see an apartment that was completely renovated but everything is new (even the walls), but it sits within a cheap soviet building complex and you can tell that people invested more in the interior than what the whole property is worth. Or fancy Italian furniture bought for a small economic class cottage."

Hopefully, you've enjoyed exploring the whimsical world of Lithuanian real estate through the eyes of the 'Real Estate Broker Disillusioned With Life!'
