Ever wonder how “real” real estate reality TV actually is? I don’t have to wonder. One of my own listings was featured on HGTV’s Property Virgins.

What most viewers never knew is that the home was already under agreement before filming even started. The negotiations were done and the buyer had already been chosen. When the episode aired, the story had been recreated and edited to be a lot more dramatic. That’s television, and the goal is to entertain. The problem is that many people walk away thinking that’s how buying a home really works.

In this quick video, I share what really happened behind the scenes and why reality TV shouldn’t be your real estate education. If you have questions about how the process works in real life, call or text me at 978-494-0346.
