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. 😂

Apparently The Description Read “Stainless Steel Appliances”

Apparently The Description Read “Stainless Steel Appliances”

thebrokeagent Report

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."

ADVERTISEMENT

"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."

i feel like the fabric of reality is unraveling in there. i can't even get a sense of proportion or perspective. is it somehow way deeper than it looks? are those stairs for a giant? or is that just a teeny tiny baby toilet?? these must be the non euclidean angles Lovecraft wrote about.

Our house was built in 1906 and the only bathroom was on the second floor. One of the previous owners in the 1960s built a similar bathroom to the one above under the back staircase with just a commode and a sink. They built it there because the owner at the time was vastly overweight and had a hard time manipulating the stairs.

So the thing on the side of the stairs comes down and it's like a platform and you can tell there are steps under it as well when it's down (next to those flowers). And I believe that is a door sticking out on the left (if your looking at photo). The more you think about it and how it works, the more it starts to make a little sense...it's definitely tiny...but useful and I think if we saw a picture of the platform down and closed the door some and take the pic from a little further back, we would all be thinking a little different. Still I don't get WHY...but imagining what it looks like all together doesn't seem so terribly bad.

And even if someone COULD go up/down those trip/fall-hazard "stairs" beside the toilet and/or make it up/down the gotta-be-a-ladder stair below the toilet, there isn't any actual room to even SIT on said toilet even if they could make it TO said toilet! That whole thing is a nightmare and hospital stay in the making!

It's over a staircase, would only fit a 2 year old, and it looks like you'd have to leap inside! That's scary!

Toilet is brand new, still has sticker on it. Is it actually connected to plumbing??

I've seen galleries of toilets and they are thousands of weird pictures like these. I don't get it.

I just realized the toilet is over yet another crazy stepwell. This begs the question of where the wet wall is...behind the cheap shelving unit? At least they bought a new toilet seat for the photo even if they did not remove the random piece of insulation. Wow.

You do not want squirty or sharty at the best of time but ladies, imagine a play suit? Just for fun, add that special time of month + fear of crossing bridges... (Netflix + doom unless you choose zoom!)

Those stairs without a bannister. It makes me sick just to look at them. Once again, how is that legal.

Love the killer vertical stairs!!!! one false step and you're toast at the bottom of the stairs with a broken leg, neck, etc.

Are you supposed to leap to the toilet or jump down from the staircase? Maybe walking across the handrail is an option too?

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."

"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'.

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 never know whether to up or downvote when something on these lists of bad stuff is actually cool.

So, to leave this building you have to jump gracefully to your left?

Maybe this is the bathroom from the story a few days ago about the anti-masturbation family.

Ah yes, the sideways toilet. Sometimes you make it in the bowl, sometimes you hit the TP.

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.
