30 Of The Wildest Real Estate Listings That Someone Is Actually Trying To Sell
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.

I've seen some all-black houses that were beautifully done. This... is not one of them.
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.
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."
How do you keep that clean? Wash everything with bleach daily? Somehow someone would spill something on the curtains, bed or couch.

They obviously have no animals, no children no soul , only eat white food must have a shower and clean clothes by the front door.
It's just a no for eating and drinking in general

I hate the all white house trend. It looks like you live in a hospital.
This is definitely where they send mental patients when they are running low on white padded rooms.
I prefer any of the earlier ones before this. Even seeing such whiteness makes me feel anguished and difficult to breathe.
"There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed."
Doesn't Kim Kardashian live in some bizarre all-white museum-like space like this? I don't follow or like them, but I thought I saw that before.
I think since she left Kanye she is allowed to have colour in her home again.

All this needs is pillows; black pillowcases on some, red on the others. Then a red and black bedsheet set, red and black rugs placed in a few spots. OR hunter green & burgundy. There's so much one can do with an all white interior with color that would make this place HOP. I love this so much.
imagine living here and waking up one day, only to realize it's *that* time of the month... might as well throw out the entire room!!
Here's me, tripping on the table end while carrying a big glass of red wine.
I had to zoom in to make sure they didn't accidentally use color anywhere.
I'm not usually one for minimalism, but I really like this.

This reminds me of an old cartoon of a man in an office where everything around him is square, phoning his secretary and asking 'Miss Jones, please bring me a round object' (told you it was old!)
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!"
It isn't that far off being the apartment of Korben Dallas in The Fifth Element
Probably lost on many UK residents but that hallway is certainly Bet Lynch
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!'
This looks like a basement bathroom that was recently installed and just needs 2 walls added
Typical college age through mid-twenties bachelor pad, only lacks the lawn furniture, huge wooden industrial spools, and large expensive TV (priorities, you know) in the living room.

I think we should stop mocking people for having unique taste, or for being too poor to fully decorate, or being minimalist, or being maximalist... just let people live. I am done with this site. I've got better things to do with my life than join random strangers in criticizing/comparing people/situations that we do not know much about.
So just simply don't read the ones that are criticizing or comparative. That doesn't mean you have to abandon the site entirely because you keep clicking on subjects you don't like.

Some were overdue maintenance - but maybe just a lack of money. Ridicule people for not having money to fix their house? Some were an extreme taste, but I like that better then regular bland houses. And when it is for sale, you should look at rooms, structure, maintenance, not wallpaper, furniture, floor or curtains. And I really liked the trompe l'oeil wallpapers actually! Also some "old people" or other culture decoration - like the small rooms. And some places weren't cleaned, but maybe the owner disappeared... So my end opinion, out of those 74, maybe a third was horrible. Or less even. But a very inspirational post, I should not hold back creativity when redecorating! Take a risk by trying something out of the ordinary.
Imagine these rooms without the furniture. Then decide if they are outrageous to you.
