12701860, So my family is going to be on hgtv
Posted by esb225, Sun Jan-18-15 12:36 PM
So last year was a blast for me. In addition to getting engaged and married
my family and I bought a house. During the house buying process
e were chosen to be on house hunters. This journey was filmed and will be aired
on January 26@8pm
I hope you will watch and enjoy

Hopefully after your NDA expires you can give us some behind the scenes info.

BTW, my wife and I talked about House Hunters on our podcast and we wondered why white couples seem to base their home buying decisions on what their dogs might like and people of color didn't.

12701952, ...also, are you able to talk about
Posted by Niq96st, Sun Jan-18-15 04:07 PM
the selection process? Length of time, requirements, etc?

12701992, RE: ...also, are you able to talk about
Posted by esb225, Sun Jan-18-15 05:26 PM
Selection process was simple we (read my wife) sent an email saying we would like to be on
We had to answer some questions about us then do a casting video.
Our realtor had to do one as well and he almost blew it for us
We got selected and had 5 days of taping
Was hectic because we had just got married and moved two houses into one
Then went to nj for our reception
We then had less than 3 weeks to decorate our entire house and get it ready for tv
It was exhausting I won't lie
12701969, that's dope, E...I'll be DVRin, for sure

You're the second couple I know to have an ep. Some friends of mine had an ep that aired a few months ago, but I was too busy working and missed it. I should see if I can find it OnDemand. He was apparently obsessed with chandeliers... lol
12709992, Watching it now...
Posted by Dr Claw, Mon Jan-26-15 08:03 PM
Good stuff, man.
edit: LOL. Didn't think they'd actually catch you with a cigar on camera. It's official now.
12710003, i'm sure that was in his contract...
Posted by CyrenYoung, Mon Jan-26-15 08:13 PM
..man, we used to hit up plenty cigar bars when he still lived in the tri-state area.

but i'd call bullshit if they went an entire ep without showin' him smoking one.

no cigars?

no esb.

Who needs all that stuff to keep up?
12710005, The 1st one was fine because there was no trees
Posted by nipsey, Mon Jan-26-15 08:16 PM
So there would be no leaves to rake. But the second had too many trees. I have no problem cutting the grass, but raking leaves is the worst.
12710008, more space more spending...

The Mrs. watches a lot of House Hunters, which means I've halfway paid attention to a lot of House Hunters while surfing the web... and a lot of people come off as mad annoying on that show.

12710366, yeah, I had stopped watching the show for while because the folks
Posted by GHNO, Tue Jan-27-15 11:45 AM
were just plain douches....
12711397, thank man glad yall enjoyed it
Posted by esb225, Wed Jan-28-15 11:39 AM

12710455, what would happen if yall weren't feelin' any of the 3 houses?
Posted by KiloMcG, Tue Jan-27-15 12:48 PM
you still gotta pick one for the sake of the show?

i'm also guessing you guys looked at more than 3 houses during the house hunting process.
12710915, Ok so peep this
Posted by esb225, Tue Jan-27-15 07:05 PM
our house hunt was over after one day of accidentally
looking for houses
So the weekend we got engaged I asked her if she wanted to
go look at rings or houses. I wanted to look at rings bc I was proposing that Sunday
Well she says houses so we go look at models
We saw the house we picked and fell in love with it
5 days later we were in contract
12713462, That's cool. That's a common house hunting process.
Posted by KiloMcG, Thu Jan-29-15 11:30 PM
So the other two were just for the show?
12713571, Yeah just for the show
Posted by esb225, Fri Jan-30-15 08:44 AM
honestly I would have never picked the other two because of their size
The bedrooms were extremely small
And the one with the basement master bedroom was never an option
12713733, word. yeah the one was ok, but the one with the basement master
Posted by KiloMcG, Fri Jan-30-15 10:03 AM
nah.
12711051, I cracked up at the ice tea for taking care of the yard
