Unbelievably terrible real estate photos

This is quality photography or as Donaldson posits 'footage provided by paranormal investigators'. Image: terriblerealestateagentphotos.com

These images are part of an eye-opening collection by Andy Donaldson on his website Terrible Real Estate Agent Photos.

Donaldson warms up the viewer with some eye-rolls on page one but by page five the hysteria will have set in and you’ll be struggling to breath.

Oh, and there are plenty of toilet-in-kitchen snaps.

When did these become so popular, let alone socially acceptable?

Donaldson’s picture collection and his hilarious accompanying captions have become such a hit that he is publishing a book with even more terrible photos.
