How would you design your ideal home? Would it be a rustic property tucked away in the woods or a Manhattan penthouse? Would you like a conventional interior design or one that incorporates all of the latest trends? Unfortunately, while fantasizing about the ideal home or apartment is entertaining, the reality of real estate listings is often harsher, and options are frequently limited.

Sir, You Forgot Your Pig
Of course it is a realtor’s dream to showcase a house that is clean, tidy and completed. However, there are times where this simply isn’t the case. It doesn’t make the realtor’s job impossible however! Just harder. This scenario though… we can imagine this doesn’t happen to the average real estate agent. The former occupant of this home seems to have gone walkabouts… without his pig. Didn’t he know that he wasn’t allowed to leave a pet here during the showing? Wait. Didn’t he know he wasn’t allowed any pets at all?

Unexpected Vandalism
Real estate agents historically have a way with words, it’s a quality that helps them succeed in their jobs. Whatever they may encounter, negative or positive, they always find a way to put a positive twist on it. Two rooms have been knocked into one? Well that’s an incredible big room you have here! Horrid carpet? Thankfully there is a lovely wood floor underneath, just waiting to be revealed. However, this one they may have some trouble with… Perhaps the word written on the wall is coconut?

Free Bike!
Did you know that if you sign this place, you’ll get a free bike! Please ignore the rest of the place, it’s something you would call a ‘doer-upper’. The place is a work in progress, it has potential! You just have to paint a few walls and such. The free bike makes it all worth it… right?

Prior Removal
Okay, it can be considered scary to find a room with a body inside. So naturally what would a real estate agent do? Remove it, of course! What, you say it left a mark on the ground? Well it’s better than what was there before, trust us! All jokes aside, the floor will be fully cleaned before you move in. So do we have a deal?

You Can Never Be Too Safe
We actually don’t see much of an issue with this one. The apartment is clean, tidy, un-scuffed, what is the real issue here? Sure, there are a few fire extinguishers in the corner. No, this doesn’t mean the place is susceptible to fires! It just means the former resident was super fire-cautious! We think…

A Cra*py Design
We must say, this is certainly a cra*py design, isn’t it? Not only does it give you minimal space when climbing the stairs, but minimal privacy when using the facilities! Perhaps this one could’ve been better thought out. It might even be a deal breaker for many.

A House For The Fittest Of People
It has to be said, this is the perfect house for either a fitness enthusiast, or someone with a desire to be one! As you can see, the sofa is situated rather far away. It is a small trek ever time you decide to have a lounge. Needless to say that the trek resumes when you decide you would like something from the refrigerator! It has to be said, the house is in great condition though. Maybe just invest in a Segway?

Utilize Your Space
Who said a bathroom must only consist of bathroom features? This is the 21st century for crying out loud! Put a comfy sofa chair in there! Have a good chat while your companion is doing their business. Place pet food bowls in between your toilet and your bidet- the pets need somewhere to eat too! Those of you who aren’t ready for this kind of next level thinking simply need to grow up…

Modern Problems Require Modern Solutions
We actually think this is quite innovative. You notice that your outdoor staircase is unstable, and save it by placing a spare refrigerator underneath! Not only is your porch/staircase now stable, but you also have instant access to refrigerated goods whilst outdoors! Set the scene. It’s a warm summer night and you just wish you had a cold beer in your hand. Well now you can walk a simple yard and realize that dream. Amazing.
