When Andy Donaldson was house hunting in London in 2013, he was amused by how many low-quality real estate photos he came across during his search.

“I shared a few [photos] with friends, accompanied with some sarcastic commentary of my own, and it took off,” Donaldson told Business Insider. From there, he was inspired to start the Tumblr “Terrible Real Estate Agent Photos,” which quickly grew a following.

“Within a few weeks the blog was getting around 1 million visits per week, [and followers] send me so many horrendous examples of their own I can hardly keep up,” he said.

Below, we’ve rounded up 20 of our favorite photos from Donaldson’s site. While some are low-lit and unflattering, others are just creepy. Consider them examples of what not to do when you’re trying to sell your home — a picture is worth a thousand words, after all.
