House Crazy Sarah used to work with a bunch of Realtors so she has heard the horror stories. She’s been in hundreds of houses herself and has seen some weird things, but the following real estate listing photos go above and beyond.
Like this one for example:
How would a realtor spin that? “Good bones!”
And this one:
Little Shop of Horrors comes to mind.
But some listing photos are the result of the listing agent doing stupid things, like this one below:
A guy in a kayak in a living room? What part of that was a good idea?
Then there are just weird anomalies with the homes…
Floating doors?
Or this perplexing bathroom:
Does it come with instructions on the proper use and function of each vessel?
The room below makes House Crazy Sarah kinda dizzy:
The builder must have liked to have fun with angles.
But usually it is the homeowner doing strange things like this make-shift indoor pool:
Or there’s this freaky find:
Lord only knows what takes place in that bedroom.
There are several issues with this next photo, such as – WTH is that a PIG?
Yes, yes it is.
There are a number of bizarre listing photos with things that just don’t seem like they belong…
The photo below is a rather busy home library, so busy in fact, that it took House Crazy Sarah a couple of seconds to notice…
A CHILD ROLLER-SKATING ON THE CEILING! What on God’s green earth?
When House Crazy Sarah first viewed this next picture she saw a guillotine:
But upon closer inspection, she saw that it was only a noose and hanging gallows – thank goodness because a guillotine in the bedroom would have been weird!
In reality, it’s probably some exercise contraception or sexy-time device.
Moving on….
How would a realtor market this one? “One-of-a-kind paint job!”
The photo below is more of a deliberate one-of-a-kind paint job:
House Crazy Sarah actually likes it! But the purple carpet stairs would definitely have to go.
Speaking of purple…
….and mirrors and lights and…. whoa!
But that’s not quite as WHOA as this bathroom:
House Crazy Sarah doesn’t know where to look… or how to feel.
Some humans just like to have feminine decor in their bathrooms…
It lightens the mood?
Oh well, to each their own.
Yes, literally – to each their own: his and hers toilets!
Then there are the multi-purpose bathrooms…
There’s not even the pretext of privacy!
Granted, some home owners are short on space.
So short on space, that they will carve out a bathroom wherever they can find a few unused square feet:
Like in the stairwell.
Sure a little half bath here or there doesn’t hurt, but the the real estate photo below gives pause:
How is that not a safety or code violation? HOW?
But the granddaddy of all bad real estate photos….
Do you see it?
One can only conclude with
What were they THINKING??
Sheesh.
