Funny
ADVERTIsem*nT
Dreaming up the perfect home is a fun little getaway. It could be a snug little cabin surrounded by trees or a stylish apartment in a bustling city. Maybe it’s filled with vintage charm or decked out with modern cool gadgets.
However, when you dive into the real estate market, reality often splashes cold water on those daydreams. Not every house is a match, but thanks to a hilarious blog called Terrible Real Estate Agent Photos, we stumbled upon some listings that are so bad, they circle back to being good.
These funny real estate listings take us on an adventure from spooky, forgotten apartments to homes that march to the beat of their own quirky decor and odd construction choices. It seems like the agents behind these ads tossed the idea of cleaning up right out the window before snapping photos of these terrible houses.
What did they capture instead? Listings with a live bat hanging around, a giant pig making itself at home in the living room, and wild horses taking over the front yards. And believe it or not, these funny real estate photos were actually used to attract potential buyers.
If you’re up for a good chuckle and a lesson in what not to do when putting your home up for sale, the list of terrible real estate photos below is your go-to. Scroll down, pick the worst listing, and don’t hold back on sharing your thoughts in the comments!

It might be hard to believe, but the funny real estate listings featured here are real and not just a concocted joke. The blog Terrible Real Estate Agent Photos, where these listings are curated, assures that every image showcased has genuinely been used by a real estate agent to promote a property online. So, as you scroll through and chuckle at the listings, remember — someone somewhere thought these photos were the ticket to a successful property sale!Are These Funny Real Estate Listings Real or Just a Joke?

A funny real estate listing can indeed impact the sale of a property, although the effects may vary. ADVERTIsem*nT On one hand, a humorous listing can capture attention and even go viral. For instance, real estate agent Philippa Main used humor in a property description for an honestly terrible house, which not only caught widespread attention but led to a successful sale. Initially listed as a fixer-upper for $51,000, the property closed in three weeks. After a comprehensive renovation, it was re-listed for $225,000. On the flip side, the humor or quirks in a listing could divert attention from the property’s actual value and attributes. Potential buyers might question the professionalism of the real estate agent based on the quality and nature of the listing. So yeah, not for everyone.Do Funny Real Estate Listings Affect the Sale of a Property?

You know that feeling when a great photo stops your daily scrolling? That’s exactly the vibe one aims for in a real estate listing. Photos are the first “hello!” — that welcoming nod from across the room beckoning you to step closer and see what’s inside. ADVERTIsem*nT It really boils down to the feels. As buyers look through listings, that striking photo can make them pause and picture their life unfolding there, like that kitchen just waiting for Sunday pancakes or the backyard that’s just so perfect for summer barbecues. House hunting today is less about spotting places down the streets and more about swiping through photos online. Sure, we always hear about “location, location, location,” but let’s not overlook the home’s visual storyteller: those inviting, well-framed shots that make you think, “Could this finally be the one?”Why Are Photos So Important in Real Estate Listings?

Jumping from the charm of a great photo to the ones that make us go, “Oh no!” let’s see the missteps that can happen when taking pictures for real estate listings. It’s similar to when you take a selfie — sometimes what you think is your best angle turns out to be... well, not so much. ADVERTIsem*nT First up, lighting. A dark, gloomy picture can make even the sunniest of spaces feel like a dungeon. And on the flip side, too much light washes everything out, leaving potential buyers squinting at the screen. Then there’s clutter. Photos crammed with personal items might show a lived-in space, but they don’t let buyers imagine making the place their own. Awkward angles can also throw a viewer off. They make spaces seem oddly shaped or sized, and not in a fun house of mirrors kind of way. The aim is to give a true-to-life representation that feels both spacious and cozy. And about going DIY with your photos... While it’s tempting to save money, sometimes it’s worth it to call in the pros for that extra polish.What Are Some Common Mistakes When Taking Photos for Real Estate Listings?

Did you know that the White House in Washington, DC has an estimated value? According to the real estate company Zillow, it’s worth around $400 million. Imagine listing that on a real estate website! ADVERTIsem*nT Here’s something that might send a shiver down your spine: A survey by Cinch Home Services, which included 1,000 participants across the United States, found that 83% of respondents have experienced some form of paranormal activity at home. About 10% have sold their homes because they thought they were haunted. Another Zillow study found that homes with black front doors can sell for about $6,449 more than expected. Who knew that the color of your door could make such a difference in your home’s selling price?What Are Some Fun Facts About the Real Estate Industry?
