Surprised!
kums-8045623 November 2020
Surprised and amused reading the reviews here which are mainly focused on the real estate agent! I have seen all the episodes till date and had a pleasant experience every time! Stunning properties carefully selected based on customer requirements and showcased by a quirky and friendly agent!! In what way was she rude, manic, annoying, horrible, offensive, phony, hack and obnoxious. All these adjectives were used to describe her by most of the reviewers!!! What??!! She was pleasant with the clients and quite friendly with her team. Never seen her shout or disrespect anyone! So really surprised to see these comments about her. If they think she was rude imagine if they meet actual rude people! Did I miss something? I am watching some episodes again to check If I missed anything! LOL! Not a perfect show but a good one. Hope we could see more properties in each episode!

Wanting more!!!
psric12 October 2020
Watching your show since the beginning. You never show the clients more than 2 houses. Not interested in seeing your little staging of houses to sell. And we never get trip see the clients choosing of the houses and moving in. So anyways feel like there is never an ending. Just left hanging, did they close? Did they move in? We they happy? Did they have to keep looking? Just feel lost.... It is nice to see the houses though. Is like it you want to New Orleans got in a hotel but never left the room.

NOT a BARBIE
lhewitt-8545818 November 2020
Brittany is NOT the typical toothpick dizzy barbie you see on 99.999% of these DIY shows. I think the program is great, and she's beautiful and fun to watch.

Simmer Down Now!
key_grip20 September 2020
I love New Orleans and thought this show was going to be great. I really want to like it. Unfortunately the host won't shut up. She talks throughout the entire showing. Bless her, but she's trying too hard to be wacky and quippy and we're missing out on taking in all the beauty of New Orleans homes.

Sucks
gregoryhughes-9236619 September 2020
The realtor is an irritating annoying yak monkey. Obviously never learned the first rule of selling: listen more, talk less.

My thoughts on Selling The Big Easy show
reneemcdonald-0596219 September 2020
Like the concept of the show. And the underlying promotion of rebuilding New Orleans. Giving people an opportunity to be a part of that, a good thing in my opinion. The host is really cute, talks a lot.. I think that she needs to let the client speak more and just introduce the rooms. Watching tonight's episode,12. She seems to be letting the client speak more, good!😘 Overall, love the show. Absolutely love the beautiful homes I'm seeing in New Orleans!❤

Fake New Orleans
pauburns21 September 2020
I'm from New Orleans and can say this woman is a caricature of a New Orleanian. The appropriatiom of black slang is really pathetic and offensive. I would love to see an HGTV program featuring New Orleans, but this isn't it.

Brittany Is hilarious !
mspumpum7 November 2020
Love Brittany's wit. She's funny and has a sense of style. Love all the nicely decorated homes on the show that you wouldn't get to see inside otherwise. She does a great job of styling the homes that she sells teaches you her ideas. Hope they sign on for another season.

New Orleans is an Interesting Town
hollysantashelper24 September 2020
If they would focus on the history of the homes and neighborhoods that potential buyers are viewing . What about past homeowners of the 100 year old homes , original builders . Just so much potential and history that needs to be told .

Worst Agent EVER!
michelled-5988626 September 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I've never left a review for a television show before, but I actually sought this site out because I can't hold my tongue! It's just the worst!! Brittany is clearly more interested in showing off her hairdo and lipstick than bothering to research the properties she's showing to these poor, unsuspecting clients. And GOOD GRIEF, it's unbelievable how condescending and belittling she is to the people that work "FOR HER". Seriously...WOW!!! I would quit on the spot if she ever spoke to me that way!! In fact, I don't think I've ever met anyone that would put up with her...in my life! AND ON CAMERA! I mean, we've all MET people like her, but we don't stick around and allow some two-bit, unskilled charlatan to put us down. Most would just feel badly for what she's chosen to become and for those she's left in her wake, and keep moving. SOMEONE has an unrealisticly and overzealously high opinion of themselves!! Folks! How does she not know there's a freaking "waterfall of unknown origin" pouring from the ceiling into several buckets on the floor into the hallway of a house she's showing to clients who are about to shell out $1.5 MILLION??? For that matter, other than the hard work the other agents are doing to research these properties, what does she EVER do besides show up at wardrobe and makeup? I'd bet a lot of money the producers of this show would never hire her to sell them a piece of property. Or maybe they would. Someone hired her for the show! I've never seen a more inadequate and unprepared salesperson IN ANY INDUSTRY. It's amazing how she uncomfortably laughs and jokes about her lack of knowledge - SO disrespectful - when she's showing houses (a client on her first show had to help her put a fireplace door back on after she ripped it off trying to be cute) and then she brags about her lack of knowledge and research to the camera as if her client's and viewers are too stupid to know she didn't bother to do her job. It seems to be a point of pride that she actually believes she can snow these people AND US into ignoring what we're seeing with our own eyes... It bears repeating - unbearably disrespectful to her clients, the show, and the viewing audience. It's overtly clear Brittany believes she's too cute and too smart (based on the ratings, she's got no one snowed except herself and the producers) for anyone to notice her lack of ability or concern for her clients and their needs. (You know, similar to those unscrupulous, cheesy used car sales people in crummy movies you turn off halfway through.) It's all too clear this show, for HER, is all about that "television show money" and her chance to flounce around in front of a camera being "cute and witty" (NOT). Here lies the problem. Neither she, nor her actions and attitude are cute, nor are they're not witty. They're insulting and condescending and her real estate license should be revoked. I wouldn't hire her for.. anything! Sincerely not sure why anyone would hire her as an agent. TALK ABOUT BUYER BEWARE!!!!! What's even more unbelievable is that someone gave her a television show! Get rid of her, keep her staff, and make a good show. I lived in New Orleans for quite some time. Its culture, history and properties are FAR more interesting and Brittany. Isn't that what the show is supposed to be about? Or maybe I'm missing the point? She's going to blow this show for everybody. WORST "REAL ESTATE AGENT" 🤣🤣 EVER and, frankly, she seems like a horrible person in general. Clearly, her insecurities have gotten the best of her and she's just waiting for somebody to find out she has no idea what she's doing... And she doesn't care enough to try to do better. (People get fired on TV, too, Brittany. Shame on you!) She's literally unbearable. We barely made it through the first show - we kept having to stop and rewind because we were either laughing hysterically at her lack of... Well, everything... Or we were screaming at that poor couple to run and never look back. We never made it past the first few minutes of the second episode before we deleted the few shows that had recorded and made sure it would NEVER record again. It's a great concept. We'll be waiting and watching for her replacement. The show has potential, but not if you keep Brittany. Seriously, folks, what were you thinking?! If you can't do better, let the show go (before you get canceled) so something interesting can take that time slot. Although...it's such a train wreck, people may stay tuned just to see who she tries to dupe next. Sad, but true.

Agree with other reviews: interesting concept but host is annoying
unfrostedpoptart20 September 2020
This could be great but the host won't shut up for 10 seconds and is totally manic and just wants everyone to know how cute and fun and wonderful she is.

How about spending more time on the houses?

What a beautiful showcase of New Orleans!
katiegremillion10 May 2021
I love this show! As a New Orleans local, I love to see our beautiful city on display is such a fun, unique way! The host, Brittany, exudes the spirit of NOLA -- and you can tell she knows her real estate! Can't wait for season 2!

She is so annoying and full of herself.
desanders-2252612 October 2020
She is so annoying and full of herself. Some of the things out of her mouth seems like it would be offensive to the clients.

Ready for another season!
cbgarris22 December 2020
I love New Orleans and I love this show! Thank you HGTV for not doing the stale boring host thing all over again. Brittany has a warm personality and great style, so much so I started following her for styling tips. (I think will start wearing hats!! 😉 I'm so inspired) The homes are beautiful and how her and her real estate team work together seems so FUN! Can't wait to see more of this show.

Great show. Real Estate agent is knowledgeable. negative reviews here are almost all single use accounts
random-707783 October 2021
Reading the reviews I saw the negative reviews were using same adjectives, sentence structure. In fact same grammar errors. Almost all the negative reviews are also single use accounts, created to leave a negative review of this show and never used again.

Average rating of prolific reviewer ie real reviewer is 8.7/10, not 5/10 as shown. I think there are agents in the area that are downvoting for competitive purposes.

The show is great. New Orleans is showcases for all of its interesting aspects, neighborhoods, history and architecture. The agent is clearly knowledgeable, and upbeat. Definitely in the top 10% to 20% or real estate based shows.

Finally Found Something to Hate About Fridays!
holwin-072807 October 2020
I just can't. I have rarely seen a more annoying show - so much that I cringe even when a commercial comes on. This isn't NOLA --- this is awful.

Love the homes but the realtor....
lhmosca12 October 2020
I am loving seeing these New Orleans homes but man, this realtor is annoying AF. Her team does all the work, she walks thru with buyers being obnoxious and lame.

Don't pass this off...
This HGTV show is as different from the rest as are the style of houses! The broker, Brittany Picolo-Ramos knows her business and her buyers and brings definite charm to the whole process.

I like how they break up the home tours with a property that has been sitting on the market too long. So, the owner/selling agent brings in Brittany and her crew to stage the home to amp up its "sale-ability". It's amazing what a love seat, silk plant and area rug will achieve. These people know their stuff!

It's enjoyable to see the New Orleans architecture which can vary from cottage to small mansions. HGTV would be foolish to let this show lapse.

Poor Host, Limited Scope
DarbyM190110 October 2020
Realtor is horrible. She does nothing but run her mouth and brag on herself. Show is very limited in scope. How much variety can there be when you stay in in one area?
