Is HGTV Real? With Kristina Browning
Here's a quick dad joke: Why did the scarecrow go into home renovation? Because he was outstanding in his field! This episode of most popular is a home reno crossover between a realtor/podcaster and a professor/podcaster. My guest is Kristina Browning, a licensed realtor and home functionality coach. We talk about the impact of home improvement shows, how their existence affects the realistic nature of home buying and renovation costs, and the pressure to create the perfect home. We touch on the sustainability aspect of home renovations and the influence of HGTV on viewers' perceptions of home aesthetics.
Kristina Browning is a licensed Realtor in Portland Oregon and a Home Functionality Coach® nationwide. Allergic to stagnation, she combines these two home-centric professions in a Podcast called Home Space and Reason. www.spaceandreason.com
