it’s one reason why being a luxury real estate agent isn’t what it seems<\/a>.<\/p>\nTrope: Remodeling a home is a quick, straightforward process<\/h2>\n
Now before we get too deep into this, let\u2019s give credit where credit is due. Shows like Extreme Home Makeover,\u00a0 Property Brothers, and Fixer Upper do sometimes show all the little problems and issues that arise when trying to repair or renovate a home. It\u2019s hard to avoid those problems even for the sake of good T.V. in the first place.<\/p>\n
The trope lies not in how easy or how hard it is to remodel a home, it\u2019s how long that process takes. Maybe celebrity home renovators have super-speed and the power of post-production editing to remodel whole houses as fast as they do, as for the rest of the world, major renovations can take months if not a whole year to complete.<\/p>\n

No one likes to see bureaucracy at work in real life, let alone on T.V., so it makes sense why popular shows would forgo all the heartracing scenes of signature signings and report filings. Just know that you can\u2019t fast forward through red tape.<\/p>\n
