Buy My House: Making the Selling Worth a While
With a Selling Sunset like narrative and Shark Tank like ambience, Buy My House seems to have hammered itself at the perfect spot for the audience to enjoy it, learn from it but, also cringe over it from time to time. The series is short, and crisp and delivers what it promises. But, most importantly, it keeps you entertained thoroughly till the end.
In Buy My House, we are introduced to four real estate magnets- Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman, Corcoran Group CEO Pamela Liebman, NFL linebacker Brandon Copeland and investment property magnate Danisha Wrighster. We have contestants, who are basically house owners come up to the dais to sell their properties.
Throughout the course of the series, we see various homeowners come up to the judges and sell their houses by introducing it, telling their backstories in regards to it and, often, engaging in tough negotiations. Yes, very much like Shark Tank. With the deal being sealed by one or multiple real estate moguls, our esteemed judges have a chance to work on the house of their liking- they can choose to flip it or improve it or, even decide to make a long-term investment to work on the house.
