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.

It's a brick...house...
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.”
As the foliage grew in strength and numbers, the cushions made plans to reclaim the ground floor on behalf of all the soft furnishings.
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.”

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.

I remember this house. It's featured in Bored Panda before. It has a room that looks like the interior of a space shuttle
Don’t be fooled by the bunting.
I bet that the neighbors do have some interesting stories to tell.
The shared courtyard is available for an hour a day, provided you can reach an agreement with the other inmates.
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!

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

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.
My brother just bought a house that had a toilet in a closet. The reason was that the elderly owner couldn't always make it upstairs in time. Also my boss, when he had his house built added an enclosed stall to the master bathroom so that if he or his wife could go while the other was in the shower/tub without grossing/stinking them out.
At least there's a door and some walls. Better than many of the above listings...
i mean hey what if you have to take a s**t and you can't make it when your getting dressed
I have a friend who put in a powder room in a tiny little closet under the stairs. So in addition to being cramped the ceiling sloped so badly you had to bend double to get to the sink. We called it "the cockpit".
I love it! I would really enjoy that toilet. It looks like there is a little window, and lots of shelf space for all of my reading materials.
I bet there are things living in the couch and behind the wallpaper.

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.

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.
My first guess was they were trying to keep a pet from jumping on the bed.

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
