In a previous interview with Bored Panda, Andy Donaldson, the creator of “Bad Realty Photos”, shared that the concept for making the blog, along with starting an Instagram account and a Facebook page, emerged when he was searching for apartments online in London in 2013. “Before long, I was spending more time saving hilariously bad photographs to my desktop than booking viewings, which left me with a dilemma: What to do with the photos?” Once he shared a few peculiar finds along with some witty captions, the response was overwhelmingly positive, and that's how the now well-known page came into existence.
We reached out to Andy again to learn more about his Terrible Real Estate Agent Photos project and what he enjoys the most about curating and maintaining the page. The creator shared that “the sheer variety of the horror, and the unending stream of terrible decisions” is what keeps him posting. “This is the reason I never have any trouble staying motivated. I am pathologically driven by other people’s low standards,” he added.
We asked Andy what he thinks makes a real estate photo truly "bad" or unusual in his eyes. He replied that these pictures are made to help people buy and rent homes and apartments, “so any photo that makes us ask ‘what?’ or ‘why?’ or ‘how did that horse get there?’ has failed. Those questions are what makes a photo stand out to me, and they’re everywhere.”
Looking at the listings, we were curious to know if Andy ever received feedback or comments from real estate professionals regarding his posts. “The blog is very popular with real estate professionals all over the world, and we still receive submissions daily, even after 10 years. Obviously, none of the real estate professionals who follow us have ever been personally responsible for any bad photos themselves, according to my lawyers,” he told us.
Ever since Andy began "Bad Realty Photos," he's seen that real estate photos are getting better and more professional. Luckily, for all the fans of awful real estate photos: the source of terrible images isn't running out anytime soon. “There will always be new content to share, things will never improve, and it will never, ever end,” Andy shared.
