House Hunters International

Have always watched House Hunters and international. We are living a show ourselves. We have just brought property in Mexico. We are waiting for our condo to be finished and we will be retiring there. We are working on selling our house here. The process of buying in Mexico is very interesting.

We have an attorney helping us through and a great bunch of friends. Our real estate agent there is a gem and they have made things as smooth as possible for us. What a wonderful opportunity. I hope to maybe teach when we get totally moved. My husband wants to play golf. We both are ready to start our new life.

Like another review, '8 minutes of content in 22 minutes'.

The premise for the show is House Hunting yet 90% of the show is about Rentals. One, maybe two episodes have a couple actually Buying a house. It's a tv show, allegedly a 'reality show' but it looks and sounds way too scripted. That and the fact that they re-review every place twice might make for good tv but a turn off when watching without commercials.

The couples are, in my opinion, questionable. Seems like a female is moving around the world to 'move in' with a guy way too often. Other couples, whether gay or straight, have unrealistic views on their wants/needs. The women, more often than not, play the 'I'm giving up so much to move around the world for you' card.

A Lot of champagne tastes on a beer budget.

8 minutes of content in 22 minutes. It is a shame. Show is enjoyable yet annoying due to the fact that they repeat everything at least three times. Pure laziness in putting together the show.

In a lot of these episodes I'm not convinced the couples or job moves are genuine never mind the house search.

I generally enjoy this show. I like the format and the glimpse into another couple's or family's life as they make a home buying or rental decision. However, it is extremely annoying to have the same things repeated 2, 3 or 4 times in a half-hour show. Either add some other footage or cut the show to 20 minutes.

This same complaint of repetition could be made for the other shows in this genre produced by same company. I also find the voice of the narrator kind of irritating. Who knows, maybe I wouldn't if she didn't tell us 5 times that Jim & Sally are leaving behind their life in the States now that they are empty nesters -- or whatever.
