How about excellent quality work and materials done right and in a timely fashion. All the proper permits filed and inspections done without any hassle to the client. Any problems discovered are addressed and taken care off properly. Try doing all this on your own. You probably would end up with a contractor who is not what he represents himself to be. Doing substandard work and cutting corners on materials, hiding mistakes and not addressing problems as they arise. Ever watch Mike Holmes, 'Holmes on Homes', 'Holmes Makes It Right'? Look it up and see what kind of nightmares are out there and how much it would cost you in the long run. With Chip and Joanna you would be guaranteed everything done right, no headaches. With the backing of producers and sponsors, you can be assured.Gregnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110077978481953569.post-18222966119081261012018-04-30T18:07:29.222-07:002018-04-30T18:07:29.222-07:00Greetings!

Some people seen really upset by that fact. But it’s entertainment! It’s TV. A lot goes on that isn’t well known to the viewers. I’m sure the clients are made aware of all the “rules” before they agree to doing the show. My question is, what do the clients get out of the deal? Do they get free labor? A discount? Paid for doing the show? Or just knowin* they are getting a home designed by TV personalities? I’m guessing the clients get the shortest end of the stick. Advertisers pay thousands. Without clients, there wouldn’t be a show.

Staging is done ...Absolutely ridiculous complaints. Staging is done globally to sell or renovate property. All buyers or participants are fully disclosed and agree to terms and conditions. Furniture, unattached to property, are not included in the price or budget cost. Some unattached pieces are available for purchase. Some are not. Staging is often used to help the buyers envision the property use. This is a reality real estate renovation show. Furniture and items are also used to help the audience envision the end product.

To me it's so surprise at all the homes are staged. Its implied several times from furniture not being in the designs, to the piece(s) they get as a gift to the furniture not looking functional for people to live on. Someone asked what the point of going on the show is without furnishings? Ummm hello your home redesigned for free! The budget goes to the construction; materials and labor. HGTV pays Chip and Jo. There's also the whole being on TV if that's cool to you.

I've always known the homes are staged, but I also assumed they use as much of the client's furnishings as they can so they can "stage" around their belongings.

In addition when the clients see the plans along with us viewers, we see what's included in the budget and not once have I seen it to include furniture. What I have taken note to is when it is stated on reveal day that an item is a gift to the client. Take a deep breath all naysayers who think that the clients or us viewers are deceived. When in doubt do your research and don't be terribly heartened when the findings are not what you thought or desired. <br /><br />Property Brothers designs always includes furniture and they frequently discuss shopping for furniture and what items are within or not within the budget. When you see an ad for an automobile with the vehicle in a driveway or garage there's no disclaimer that the house is not included and it would be ridiculous if a consumer was to think otherwise. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16416861164504861300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110077978481953569.post-60042053251074346112017-05-06T17:12:58.409-07:002017-05-06T17:12:58.409-07:00I never thought in a million years that the home o...I never thought in a million years that the home owners get to keep the staged furniture so it does not bother me to find out they don't.
