LOL...So funny! I sent in an application back in January and they contacted me yesterday! Unfortunately it isn't going to work. The filming dates would be after we want to move in and we aren't willing to wait an extra month to be on it. But was still cool as a thought!

Reality shows aren't all they are cracked up to be on. Its probably better it didn't work.

Re: We got asked to be on House Hunters!

Oh wow! I love that show!!
I thought they filmed it after you already moved in? I heard when people on the show are looking at the houses, they actually already bought the house they end up in. Everything they say is so scripted.
I love it anyway though!

This is true. A friend of mine was so close to getting on the show, she went through all of the interviews and steps involved, and she mentioned that the other 2 houses the people look at are just for the show, at filming you already have bought and closed on the house you chose.

Yup, you have to be in contract and have a closing date in order to get picked.

Re: We got asked to be on House Hunters!

So wait I dont understand - if you already bought your home, then are the other 2 houses you see on the show just random ones the show finds, or actual ones you previously looked at?

Re: We got asked to be on House Hunters!

I have a love/hate with this show.

1. I love looking at homes and the way people live, especially international
2. If I hear one more southerner complain that a house has only 3 car garage and 10,000 square feet for 250k I will punch someone. Lol.
3. It's so unrealistic that you look at 3 houses and find one. Real house hunting is nothing like that and far more difficult

4. even more unrealistic because the couple is "looking" at houses and commenting on all of them, yet is already in contract on one of them!

agree.. i love seeing houses too Chat Icon
