If you've ever watched HGTV, you know how easy it is to get sucked into the shows. While there's no shame in binging whatever reno-marathon is on TV, it's important to remember that these programs are not always accurate. "Most of these shows do no favors to realtors because the process of buying a home or fixing one up is much more complicated than they portray it," says Missy Cleary, a buyer's agent with The Cleary Group in Sarasota, Florida. Additionally, timelines on reno-based shows can set unrealistic expectations for homeowners, and don't always reflect the issues that can occur during the process, says Brenda Bradshaw, a buyer's agent with The Cleary Group in Bradenton, Florida. At the end of the day, both Cleary and Bradshaw say that it's perfectly fine to be a fan of these shows but to remember that they're made to entertain—not reflect real life.
While none of the shows are totally accurate, some are more lifelike than others. Here, the two experts rank these eight shows on HGTV, from least realistic to most realistic, based on their professional experience.
