I think I’ve officially seen one too many episodes.  I blame the Tivo.

What’s the timeline on that show anyway?  Do they never see more than one house in a day?  Talk about inefficient. The outfits are always different for each house showing. 

Do the agent and buyer never ride in the same car?  What’s all this “Hi There!” talk at the front door?  Did you not discuss this listing with them in the car on the way over?

Just once, I want to see one of those agents fighting through a huge oleander to get to the keysafe, hidden on a low water spigot, all rump up in the air and ungainly.  You know, the glamorous moments as a Realtor.

And for crying out loud, who points out the kitchen?  If I have to point out the kitchen when I’m showing a house, we’re all in trouble.  Where’s the shot of the buyers looking through the medicine cabinet, or in the refrigerator?  (Oh you KNOW they do!)

At the end when the people are all happy in their new home, why are they always cooking?  Always chopping something with an inappropriately sized knife?  Do they only have a paring knife?  Is that why they’re slicing a watermelon with a paring knife?  House Hunters should get these guys knife sets as closing gifts.

(okay, okay, so I guessed wrong again about which house they would buy.  I’m sure I didn’t have all the information… ) Have a good weekend!
