Realtor reveals exactly what it’s like to film 'House Hunters'

Necklaces banned for surprising reason

From the over-the-top demands from buyers to the seemingly unrealistic budgets, "House Hunters" fans have always had a feeling the show wasn’t, well, 100% authentic to the home-buying experience. But now, a realtor featured on an upcoming episode is speaking out. She says the show’s not scripted, but it takes way longer than you’d think to visit each property.Leslie Remy, a realtor based in McKinney, Texas, was one of several brokers featured on "House Hunters." She opened up about the experience in an interview with GuideLive.com (via People). Here's what she revealed about the filming process. Your wardrobe is scrutinized — for a fascinating reason.“Clothing is, oh my goodness, such a big deal. I had no idea,” Remy said in a video filmed after the first day of "House Hunters" shooting. “I took about five different outfits, and shirt was the only one that worked.” That’s because cameras can pick up patterns in solid clothing that you might not be able to see in person. Remy also noted she had to take her necklace off because it interfered with the microphone. So if you notice a lack of jewelry on "House Hunters" realtors, that's why.The crew can take hours to get the perfect shot. Remy told GuideLive.com she spent close to eight hours filming one house — and that’s out of the three houses featured on the show. So that’s eight hours for 10 minutes of airtime, and that’s because the crew is made up of perfectionists. "It's not scripted. So the couple is saying how they really feel about it and their opinions on the home," she told the site. "To get the perfect shot, they have to continue to repeat their opinion over and over again. There were at least four good shots of each room or of each scene." Because filming takes so long, Remy said it was hard to find a couple willing to do the shoot, but she ended up working with a newlywed couple moving to the area from Utah. HGTV officials have admitted in the past the show seeks out buyers who are already pretty far along in the process since the real estate business moves so quickly.You spend at least one hour in every room of the house. Though the scenes aren’t scripted or staged, Remy revealed she did have to film scenes over and over again. That’s because there are lots of noises in the background that can interfere with the sound, like lawnmowers, air-conditioning and even wind chimes outside. “It is apparently possible to spend 30 minutes in a tiny bathroom with six people in it, which was fun,” Remy joked in the video. “We would spend probably at least an hour in every room.” That's enough to make you feel like you've moved in already. Check out a behind-the-scenes look at an episode of "House Hunters" filmed in South Carolina in the related video above.
