Premise

The show's premise centers upon the show's two hosts, JoJo Jones and Christopher Kromer, approaching a prospective customer that is ready to purchase a house from a third real estate agent. The hosts then show the customer two additional homes, giving them the option to remain with their previous choice or to choose between the houses that the two hosts have presented.

Reception

Bloomberg Businessweek wrote a mixed review for the show, criticizing it for being overly familiar to similarly themed real estate reality shows while stating that it does introduce some new elements in that the show "capitalizes on a specifically modern fear—the recently coined "fear of missing out".[7]
