If you've ever sold, bought, or rented property, you know what a big deal the very first impression is. One step in through the door, and you’ll feel the vibe right away. I mean, a lone sock laying on the ground is forgivable, but a shady mattress, crumbling ceiling, and some questionable shade of paint is enough to make any potential buyer run away.
So you’d think that real estate agents would surely be nailing their property adverts with immaculate pics. You’re wrong. The blog “Terrible Real Estate Agent Photos,” which collects all the bad, the ugly, and the hecking nightmares of real estate pics, is hard evidence that some agents couldn’t care less.
From filthy interiors, prison-type rooms, and trashy décor to unidentifiable objects that send chills down the spine, these are the best of the very worst real estate photos. Immerse yourself in the sea of low standards and be sure to check our previous part 1 and part 2.

Aunt Bessie’s next lockdown project is to knit a conservatory.
I thought it was for a while until I looked at the TV and some other details and it made me think it's real. I'm left at an uncanny either-or.
Load More Replies...That doesn´t look like a real room. Looks more like a zoom into a dollhouse
It's a brick...house...
Not weird, unless I am too. I like it. You could do a lot with the space, put in a mezzanine perhaps? also is that a fireplace at the back? If so, open it up. Yep there's a lot you could do here.
Load More Replies...I'm quite sure that ghosthunters would have the time of their life here.
Have you tried turning the room off and back on again?
Here we found the perfect solution to satisfy both the pro-wallers and anti-wallers of American politics ♡
Load More Replies..."That door doesn't go all the way to the floor and it's not even level!" "That's okay, we'll cut off the top third and no one will notice the bottom!"
I'm racking my brain, but I cannot see any reason as to why there's that partition. Over to you.
This is perfect if you have a dog that attacks everyone who comes through the front door.
To keep the dog(s) in one area? It would look so much better if it had a different half door....
I assume its so you dont have to worry about small kids or dogs trying to leave when you are coming in the door...
Bored Panda reached out to Andy, the creator behind the internet’s beloved “Terrible Real Estate Agent Photos” project, to find out whether the pandemic has had an effect on terrible property pics.
It turns out, the viral pandemic has probably improved the quality of some real estate photography, said Andy, “as there are fewer properties for sale, and therefore more time to get this stuff right.”
Luckily, all the fans of terrible real estate photos can be sure the terrible source is not likely to deplete any time soon. “The universal human instinct for ineptitude has prevailed, so we still regularly receive more than enough terrible examples to share.”
getting some Escher vibes here:) But they were doing the best to make the most out of the space
I'd live in fear of falling off to the right down those stairs, I know spage is limited but some kind of railing along the left wall would be a lot safer
Load More Replies...A kid's bed (or maybe play area?). Pretty awesome once you figure that out. :)
Load More Replies...It looks like Picasso came back to life and became a house designer for HGTV.
Shower, sauna, kitchen, living room, is the garage just out of view?
All I can think of is the humidity getting into the cushions and turning to mold and mildew.
everything is close at hand in this place. Just don't tell me where the toilet is...
Turn the chairs towards the shower and get a different sort of show!
Load More Replies...As the foliage grew in strength and numbers, the cushions made plans to reclaim the ground floor on behalf of all the soft furnishings.
"911, what's your emergency?" "Christmas exploded." "Ma'am?"
Now this is the room to yell "Pillow Fight" these babies look like they could do damage!
The level of professionalism is definitely improving, and Andy is suspecting his blog may be to blame. “There are fewer accidental mirror selfies and photographer thumbshots.” However, the progress is slow and the creator believes there’s much work to be done in that department.
It seems that terrible property pics are now getting well-earned recognition after Andy exhibited some of the worst examples from “Terrible Real Estate Agent Photos” at the Hamburg Triennial of Photography last year. “We're pleased to have our work finally recognized as the great art it is, and we now have around 300,000 followers in total across all platforms.”
The website itself received its 15,000,000th visitor a few weeks ago. Andy said he’s happy to confirm that “COVID-19 appears only to have increased people's appetite for low-quality photography and sarcastic sentiment.”
Susan never understood why she had a headache after every bathroom vist.
I'm torn between I need to know what's going on here and I'm too scared to ask. Sleepwalker?
Bob’s ability to empty a room was renowned across the children’s entertainment industry.
I looked at it three times. When I saw him I said, "What the FU-"
Jesus I did not see it! I was panning the room trying to figure out what was so wrong and then he was just there! F you Bob
Ahhh! That blessed split second before you see it when you're still going "well, meh... but what's so bad--"
“It’s that time of the evening again, just talk amongst yourselves“
I would like to think it's furntiure, but is that bottle of a toilet cleaner next to it?
Load More Replies...I would at least have a make shift screen for all these places with toilets in the middle of social areas of homes so I don't have to see the dang thing 24 hours a day.
I was really concerned, but then I saw the bleach container next to the toilet and realized it was sanitary and safe.
Lockdown business opportunity: Trampoline helmets.
And your comment made me spit coffee all over my desk
Load More Replies...Why do you think there are lights all over the ceiling?
Load More Replies...True. There's always a bigger fish, I guess.
Load More Replies...At least the back/front door would create nice draft while you're on the toilet.
In a really cool apartment, this would look funky and fun. In this place the first thing I wonder is just how bad the ceiling leak is.
Sorry kids, we cant go to Disneyland this year, but I've got the next best thing!
This is one of the reasons landlords charge so much. I bet this was a disgruntled tenant who did this.
Yep, the house next door had a bunch of crackheads and they threw eggs everywhere and sprayed the wall with Hersey's chocolate syrup when they were evicted.
On the 5th day, God gave his preliminary sketches to the couple next door as an apology for all the noise.
I remember this house. It's featured in Bored Panda before. It has a room that looks like the interior of a space shuttle
found the article on BP. This is what the rest of this house looks like https://www.boredpanda.com/weird-house-listing/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic
I'm more concerned about the creepy alien(?) in the lower left corner.
Today, on "Poor Taste", join us as we investigate just how many styles is too many. The answer may surprise you.
Load More Replies...Weird but not really bad. I like the natural lighting and "porch" vibe here.
I was thinking it was actual pretty cool till i saw the counters ;=;
Man, they must’ve been incredibly desperate for that extra counter space!
I'm really confused. This looks like some kind of b.s. building project my schizophrenic uncle would have created. Truly.
Don’t bugs the let bite bed.
Sometimes there is that one comment that I can't stop laughing at :D
Load More Replies...Apart from the obvious, this really looks like a padded cell. Hello, nightmares!
Don’t be fooled by the bunting.
I bet that the neighbors do have some interesting stories to tell.
This is why I like single-family homes in America.
Load More Replies...For rent: Previous grow open includes all equipment. Probably would have been demolished if it wasn't part of a row house.
Oh, yeah. Good point. That elaborate bunting totally distracted me. Nice try, sneaky real estate agent! (Thanks for the warning, Panda!)
The shared courtyard is available for an hour a day, provided you can reach an agreement with the other inmates.
I always think of London basement flats as those half basement flats. With a set of steps to the main front door, and a set of stairs down to the the basement flat. So you might have a wall half the height of a door, not be a whole wall down. If the rest of the house has light (a lower level at the back, etc), this wouldn't necessarily be a problem.
Load More Replies...So, you scrub and whitewash that wall, and then put a cool picture on it and a planter in the corner.
It's the drain hole - RIGHT OUTSIDE THE FRONT DOOR - that both reassures ... and scares me ... at the same time. Imagine a big downpour!
I lived in a place like that. I would come home after a big rain to flooding.
Load More Replies...Ah, a good place to aim my machine gun upwards for some light AA capability. The Jerrys won't know what hit 'em.
This is how water closets used to be done. The toilet alone would go into a small closeted area, that had a door. Just like this one. I love it!
Load More Replies...You know, I would have thought this was horrible until I saw all those toilets in living rooms and kitchens and now I'm thinking, "hey, at least it has a door!"
I've seen smaller in Copenhagen apartments. Not really weird here even in upmarket places.
I mean... look at the floor, man. There's a significant gap between floor and toilet
Load More Replies...Happens a lot in very old houses that did not have toilets when they were built. It's one of those houses as can be seen by the very old type of door and doorknob + electricity is on the outside of the walls.
the toilet looks like it is leaning to one side...other than that a good place to sit and read in peace.
I bet there are things living in the couch and behind the wallpaper.
As well as things no longer living..... I am not sure which is worse.
Load More Replies...It is a "suicide house", so many options! If you don't want to open your veins in the bath tub, you can hang yourself on the ceiling chandelier if you are not tall, and if you are tall, you can just get up under the chandelier to be impaled. If you want to be more artistic, you can stand in water and touch the electric wires in the chandelier. We call it the "Claude François" style in France, great artist until the end...
This reminds me of the Simpsons and "I can't believe they invented it" : the chandelier for a car
Um. This is a whole new level of “just put a toaster in the bathtub” kind of Murder, She Wrote episode!
Zach’s new garden saved him a fortune in hay fever medicine.
Just put a couple of trampolines up there--the kids will be fine.
Load More Replies...Potential. But it looks like a business property rather than a domestic residence anyway.
Great place for a potted plant garden the extra heat from the bricks helps speed growth.
Misery is having to read someone else’s definition of happiness while trying to unblock a U-bend
What is wrong with this one? I personally don't like those "live, love, laugh" style writings, but lots of people love them
Is it that the pipe access to the tub is up against the exterior side of the house and it would be hard to access it???
Load More Replies...I have hated this decoration since I first saw it—-about 20 years ago. Maybe more.
I don't get this one. This one is way nicer than the one with the toilet in the closet.
“If the show sucks we can always leave during the interval“
What happens when you take art classes out of the education system. Color theory is your friend.
What is so bad behind that sheet that the agent thought _this_ looked better?
I live in a trailer parked under a pole barn that we've enclosed with walls all around. When I first married, the kitchen had a dirt floor with no walls at all. Built of job site scraps my carpenter husband brings home, it's funky but comfortable, and sure keeps the snobs away.
This is funny, but at my new place they showed photos that the agent said were "really bad." I actually appreciated the honesty. I don't like fake lighting, creative angles, etc. when it comes to housing. Show me what it's really like. I'll find out anyway.
I hate it when they use fisheye effects so the whole room looks bigger and slightly curved, or they HDR the photos so much that the house looks like it’s located in a mystical realm of elves.
Load More Replies...I followed the webside for years but then it got really quiet for a long time. I'm glad to see it being revived. The photos are already great, but I truly love the sarcastic comments.
Photo captions from hell! Read some of the most cringe worthy and childish attempts at humor and sarcasm aimed at other people's attempts of being original, their poverty, frustration and in some instances, bad taste. To summarize, downvoteeeeeeeeeee
