Champagne dreams, beer budget.

[@getpoked2498]

This poor agent had to deal with too much

[@beejayvandegriendt3632]

Oh, shame, their kids have to share a bathroom 🙄🙄🙄 And no, you don't "need" a pool. I didn't enjoy this couple's whiney attitude at all!

[@Kevin-sm8pn]

OK, so let me get this straight.....They want a move in ready five bedroom three bathroom house, plus a music room and a study that has a large yard with a pool that has large rooms, lots of storage, charm and character, lots of light and windows, all the bells and whistles and their budget is a dollar. Girl, you can have an empty cardboard box with cheese stains.

[@norma5044]

Yes they are delusional. Can a realtor fire a client ????

[@unicatoussaint8148]

this couple is something else they dont have money but want a lot

[@gaylewhauwhau3972]

Typical americans Want everything now and pay later,

[@yeetspaghetti]

Nobody: The woman everytime they look a house: ItS nOt ThE cRaFtSmAnShIp I wAs LoOkInG fOr

[@DAVIDFERNANDEZ-jx4fb]

2024 those house are probably going for more than a million today.

[@lindaboyce1147]

Awesome realtor. ❤

[@kerrieshalley9431]

How many times did they say ‘we have a big family’ Bullshit, 4 kids is not a big family! Never seen such an unrealistic couple, obviously ignorant to what their budget can give them. There is nothing wrong with kids working out bathroom time, someone can always use the en-suite bathroom if really rushed? First time an episode has annoyed me, pathetic, whining people

[@en6278]

half those kids look ready to leave the nest. but 5 bed house for 240k is pretty cheap. plus a pool will add great value. Good choice for sure.

[@stacyrussell460]

What is the appeal for these grand entrances with super high ceilings? Who is dusting all the way up there? Do you hire someone or is there a machine that reaches that high? I'm genuinely curious.

[@ilovehanson1]

Cabinet color is a deal breaker??

[@made3761]

The house is really nice! Their three older kids look young adults soon will leave except for the younger girl. Big house with empty rooms.

[@keshafarrar3187]

I love that we thinking the same thing in these comments 😂

[@cocokai9661]

As several people have pointed out, at least two of these 'kids' look to be close to grown (the one boy had a beard) and therefor pretty close to moving out. If you've managed to raise your kids in a smaller space/less bathrooms, there's no reason to look for a big house when it's time for them to leave home. As parents we can forget that the kids grow up and leave. And there's nothing wrong with kids sharing a room. I shared a room growing up. It was no hardship. And we all shared 1 bathroom. As to the pool, I understand the allure. But I had a pool when I was a teenager. The first year we used it all the time. The second year we used it a lot. By the third year we rarely used it and by the fourth year we fought constantly as to whose time it was to clean the damn thing out. Pools are a lot of worry/work and always seem like they're so much fun until you have one and you realize that they're really so much work and upkeep.

[@budgetwithrenay2419]

Why is everyone freaking out about the amount of bedrooms?! If they wanted; they could always make two of the smaller rooms combined down the road. One could definitely be used as a guest room if older kids move away but come for holidays.

[@jamesr1703]

These two were insufferable. I feel sorry for that RE agent.

[@Oc4ever12]

I like their choice! Congrats!

[@bevfrench3496]

ok, timing might be right but when you don't have over $400 grand how do you expect to have a pool, 2 to 3 bathrooms , office and 5 bedrooms?. seriously? there is a reason you are renting. I would definitely make a poor agent. I would tell them "go back home and save some money" or let something go or maybe you shouldn't have had so many kids. yep, I would not last long.looks like one of the boys should be leaving pretty soon.

[@naomimarie1492]

Lmfaoooooooo what’s the budget ?

[@JustForfun-kd4tv]

They have to remember that kids leave home for college.

[@Angle86]

They are thinking long term.. maybe like when the kids come together for vacation or something they all should have their own space so 5 bedrooms..

[@thehungrygoldfish]

@@Angle86Buy a house based on your life today, not ten years from now.

[@Angle86]

@@thehungrygoldfish house is a big investment.. u cant keep changing houses n especially when u start ageing.. house is bought thinking long term.. u take mortgage accordingly..

[@thehungrygoldfish]

@@Angle86 Yes, but buying a house for future grandchildren to stay over is insane. Plus, they wanted too much. They essentially wanted seven bedrooms. That’s insane.

[@Angle86]

@@thehungrygoldfish who knows why they wanted a 7 bedroom apartment in the first place.. m sure they have family n friends coming over or whatever the reason.. if they can afford then why not

[@samsayasane1934]

Baker field .summer time temperatures 130degree😂

[@budgetwithrenay2419]

Great to see a family from my hometown;( I now live in Utah), find the perfect home!

[@mohammedredwan8451]

Bruh the prices are dirt cheap compared to NJ :/

[@ljay659]

He really wouldn’t budge on those cabinets ? Jeez. It’s not that deep.

[@tommyluong5259]

The home prices is cheap in Bakersfield. I like the first house.

[@timothyyhtomit]

A pool for$ 7500?? Try 30,000 and up

[@jamesr1703]

Definitely, well before COVID. $280,000??? Multiply that by two in 2024. $7,500 for a pool? Are you kidding me. Maybe an above ground pool.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

Look at the date this was uploaded, hon lol

[@conniesawyer5108]

I remember the days when houses were actually "affordable"!!! Lol

[@almalockett4998]

Good choice!

[@macockk]

so good

[@patricksmith2274]

I like this video and couple. Did you see his sons? They're like clones of him!!!! LOL😂😂😂

[@whitediamond613]

They wants everything for a dollar! They have respect only them family, but no-one else!

[@budgetwithrenay2419]

Do a grammar check! This family is looking for THEIR family home, not anyone else’s!

[@whitediamond613]

​@@budgetwithrenay2419I didn't say anything about them home ....

[@ellystrawn9875]

What year was this filmed? Must be at least 20 years ago for those prices.....

[@Kotakmancis1994]

Happy couple..

[@marckcruz146]

both son 's are cute 😍😍😍

[@ginny0719]

NO ONE NEEDS A POOL!

[@macockk]

nice

[@sally8234]

Do they know what their electric bill will be if they put in pool? Probably half their mortgage payment.

[@yourbiggestfan2593]

Why don’t they just keep looking for their perfect house, who says that have to pick these houses?

[@bearpawz_]

When they do House Hunters Update: My guess is those two are divorced, half the kids moved out, and the pool was never built... 😂

[@budgetwithrenay2419]

Hello, it’s part of the show;( I’m sure they cut a deal of some sorts.)

[@mypham2788]

$275K can’t buy a one-bedroom apartment where I live.

[@MarcoTOS-xu3eh]

Where tf u live ?

[@nicoleherbert7683]

She is so annoying. They are both annoying. They have so much stuff on their list, but they don't have that much money to get everything on their list. Also 5 bedrooms? Every heard of sharing rooms? And they can share a bathroom, might me small, but they can deal with it

[@queenkincy540]

I have the same taste in homes that they have I want a big house with a pool large island in the kitchen open floor plan so I need the living room from the kitchen 6 or 7 bedrooms and 4 to 5 bathroom and a garage , white kitchen , high ceilings

[@thehungrygoldfish]

Great! That will be 2.6 million. Will that be cash or card?

[@MaryOtta]

Omg .

[@macockk]

i like video

[@josephramirez634]

I believe they picked a house before ever seeing the others shown in the episode, plus were told what to say to make the show interesting. Just about every show is staged.

[@jillburton6041]

Good choice. She doesn’t let her husband talk.

[@getpoked2498]

Why didn't they just throw some offers at some homes

[@Evanswift]

My advice to them... don’t move to bakersfield

[@sunflowersarles1sun827]

Yeah, if you’re from SoCal, you would know.

[@tonipope3164]

What world do they live in...5 bedrooms AND a pool for their budget in CALIFORNIA....

[@nikeplaya795]

There's gotta be more options in Bakersfield for them to keep looking...?? lmao

[@getpoked2498]

It's just that they have so much requirements that need to be exact

[@thehungrygoldfish]

@@getpoked2498It’s the amount of bedrooms they want. They essentially want seven. That’s insane!

[@user-lg8gz7vc3f]

You. Like. But. You. Cant. Please. So. Live. Outside. Plenty. Light

[@lhyork1608]

She obviously got willed some money and thinks it’s like a million dollars ….in California you are lucky to get a shack with that budget yet they want it all….. they need like triple that budget

[@Rantsack]

These people want to live above their means. I wonder how they really treat people around them?

[@MaryOtta]

This couple r dreaming

[@HaHaInc]

Why a mini-golf trainer needs a home office? The kitchen cabinets not cream color - the deal breaker. "We need 5 bedrooms" - no you don't. "We need a pool" - no you don't. The woman is really annoying. The man just repeats after her like a faithful parrot.

[@getpoked2498]

It was just their dream house

[@MrsEJV]

Not golf, “life trainer”. Kind of a California, hippy dippy speciality for someone usually lacking the academic qualifications to be a social worker or therapist.

[@budgetwithrenay2419]

She is a Life Coach! Such ignorant negative comments!

[@HaHaInc]

@@budgetwithrenay2419 Just like yourself, LIFE COACH with Budget expertise?

[@floBar51651]

So cheap

[@norma5044]

It appears thst this coupke don,t understsnd they can,t afford the house they want.☹️☹️

[@nakendraperry6264]

That budget will not get you a lot. Go to a public pool you’re not going to get everything you want. I would’ve dropped them as clients.

[@lhyork1608]

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄poor realtor

[@thecounselorace621]

What happen to the men these days, man let the women have the color cabinets she wants, stop acting like a little female, let her have the loft for her office, you more finicky than a woman lol, you got the pool and the style house you preferred, this guy make men look bad!

[@AngelTechno]

There’s a way to make a point without being insulting.

[@TruckDriver2005]

This couple just has such a whiny and entitled attitude! If you want the money to have everything don't have four children or get better jobs.

[@macockk]

nice
