The Broke Agent is a media brand that creates entertainment for real estate professionals. But the beauty of it is that you don't have to be in the industry to enjoy its content. Sure, that would unlock a deeper level of understanding and appreciation but it's not necessary.

Just look at its project Real Estate Fails, for example. Full of ridiculous architectural and interior design hiccups, it shares pictures from the ridiculous side of the housing market, proving that some agents don't have everything under control. Whether it's due to their own fault, the owners, or unfortunate circumstances, there are plenty of things that might deter potential buyers.

We managed to get in touch with Eric Simon, founder of The Broke Agent, and he was kind enough to have a little chat with us.

"Just over six years ago, I started posting as The Broke Agent on Instagram, producing content that focused on the 'inner monologue' of a struggling realtor in Los Angeles. As a licensed realtor, I basically started making fun of everything that was happening to me and put it online in blog form, YouTube Videos, and short-form content like memes, tweets, and Facebook posts. It blew up really quickly and now has well over half a million followers across all platforms."

Even if we were to talk solely about its target audience, there's still room for The Broke Agent to grow as there are over 2 million active real estate agents in the U.S.

We had a good example here at work. Dude owned a camping site with houses. The firefighters did a surprise inspection. Dude got fined for not having any fire alarms or smoke detectors. He then proceeds to glue smoke detectors to ceilings without connecting them to anything. The firefighters came back, opened the detectors and found his little scam. Dude got fined AGAIN and then called us to install things properly. 😂

Simon started Real Estate Fails to grow The Broke Agent brand and to reach people who aren't necessarily just real estate agents but he quickly realized that it's just a really fun account to manage.

"Everyone likes looking at housing pics, especially luxury or real estate 'fails,' so it resonated with an audience outside of the real estate industry as well as real estate agents."

"Real estate agents love the account because it exposes marketing blunders, property description errors, and other mistakes agents make when uploading their marketing online. It also gives them a platform to submit all the crazy stuff they see in the field and out on showings. The account also casts a wider net on the industry, attracting contractors, appraisers, inspectors, handymen, etc."

According to Simon, curating the account is pretty straightforward because by now the community around it has gotten big enough for him to receive a steady stream of content.

"Most of my posts come from other realtors in my DMs, but I also get submissions in my Discord, through The Broke Agent and in our real estate Facebook pages and groups," he explained. "Like I said above, most of the photos come from agents actually spotting these crazy fails in the field on showings, inspections, or open houses. We also have a series called #ThingsWeSeeAtShowings on The Broke Agent stories."

You couldn't find another person more suited to run the project. "Because I am a licensed realtor, I have developed a good eye for what is 'out of the ordinary' and what will perform well as a post," Simon said. "Also, I've been looking at and posting real estate content every day for 6 plus years so that helps with my judgment for what to post."

ADVERTISEMENT

"The best performing content on Real Estate Fails is toilet content and anything that's sexual. If it looks like a penis or is provocative in any way, the audience goes crazy for it."

Another successful ongoing theme is staging fails where people try to cover up eye sores or contracting issues. The keyword here is 'try'.

If you look, there is no apartment numbers on the upper doors. So these are all probably 2 story apartments and the upper doors and balconies may just be odd decorations. Or it's possible the door actually does open...but who wants to sit on a balcony on the inside of the building?

How do they work? Are they two floors each, or is there an entrance on the other side for the balcony floor? Also, are they allowed to use the balconies? My freshman dorm at RISD had balconies you couldn’t access and the BS reason the college gave was that they were “decorative” they were clearly not just decorative, they were much larger and more stable than decorative balconies, and had access doors and stairs that were permanently locked. I think the school just didn’t want the liability of letting us use them.

Even if this is a converted prison: Gated community. Security bars. Efficiencies available. Wide walkways. Socialize from your own balcony! A minimalist's delight. Wheelchair accessible. Laundry facilities, cafeteria, medical facilities close by. Well lighted parking, extra outdoor security. Speaker systems. Safe exercise yards. Guards on duty.

This is the perfect place for people who like a fire escape that ensures you're still indoors following your escape and comes with a dislocated shoulder or twisted ankle. Personally I like when my door has a light and a cover for when it's dark and rainy. Anything that helps me be more awkward in front of my neighbors is also 5 stars. There is at least a season of Seinfeld that can be shot here just about the in door whatever the hell this is

This actually kinda reminded me of an idea I had once to convert old malls into housing, but with the idea of turning old storefronts into individual houses. The larger anchor stores could provide two homes apiece, while the smaller stores could have a dividing wall knocked down between two stores to create one unified home. Each home would have a garage and small backyard where the outside entrance area would be and their front doors would lead out to what would be a community walkway with foliage. Right in the center there could be a series of stores such as a grocery store, pharmacy, department store, and electronics store in a strip mall formation, and at where the food court would be there could be some restaurants that served the community, and there could be a separate grand entrance for community visitors and the general public, though only residents and their visitors would be able to access the interiors of any of those homes. It was a harebrained idea, I'll admit.

But how do the tenants on the second floor get down to the first floor and out of the "balcony"? I don't see stairs or a gate. And why would this be somewhere called the 'Tech Village Center'. It is totally the opposite. There must be some correlation between the two, maybe a joke known only to the students at Virginia Tech?

That's so the neighbors can stand on their balconies and talk without getting rained on. Or one weird way of "dressing up" a light fixture over the doors.

This is an unfinished assisted living community setting. "Sidewalk" aesthetic to be added. Facades for individual "residences." Artificial trees and landsxaping to be added. Sky, clouds to be painted on ceiling. Simulates a residential street. Very beautiful WHEN DONE.

I like the fact they each have a doormat, to walk from that shiny floor into their own apaertments.

Simon constantly searches for ways to engage his followers. "The best way to [do it] on these posts is to say something in the caption like 'describe this like it's in a property description.' That way, agents can put their humorous twist on a housing feature and highlight it in a positive light like a realtor would do in their marketing."

The man behind the show also highlighted that The Broke Agent has much more to offer; it's a full-on real estate media company with Podcasts (The Over Ask Podcast), blogs, YouTube videos, contributors, and more. "Our goal is to make real estate professionals laugh through the daily stress of the industry and also help improve their business with our marketing, consulting, and content platform."

I faked a bed in an empty bedroom with cardboard boxes and a couple of blankets. It's pretty common when occupants have already moved.

This is a stupid inclusion. It wasn't a real estate listing; it was the Texas freeze in February 2021, which caused catastrophic damage due to two main reasons: 1. TX houses are not built for such weather (including water pipe insulation) and 2. MOST OF THE STATE WAS DUMPED OFF THE POWER GRID SO THAT IT WOULDN'T FAIL WHICH WAS COMPLETELY AVOIDABLE IF THE TX LEADERSHIP HAD WINTERIZED THE GRID AS THEY WERE TOLD TO DO A FULL TEN YEARS BEFORE BECAUSE EXPERTS KNEW SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD HAPPEN EVENTUALLY.

It has the house keys inside it. It is supposed to stay locked on the doorknob so no one can enter unless they have the right code. Pretty much useless where it is.
