I agree with the other posts about this episode. I understand that most of these shows are stages, but why would they have a realtor who, when told that they want to spend $400K on a home, starts with two homes well above that price? When I was house hunting in Tulsa 25 years ago, my first realtor had the same agenda of showing me homes above my price point, so I changed realtors.

This couple started by saying ocean front or ocean view, but that latter choice was quickly overlooked. I am sure that there are a number of ocean view home in their original price range that they could have seen.

Overall, both my wife and I thought that if we had never been to SXM, we would likely never go after seeing this - too expensive and too touristy. We have been on the island a number of times and found if delightful and reasonable with a lot of places to visit that did not have a tourist vibe.
