Married to Real Estate

A few years ago, I tried to watch "Married to Real Estate," and was put off because Mike and Egypt must have been told (by the producers) to get in front of the cameras and show how "in love" they are with each other and be a good example of a beautiful, successful, wealthy, married black couple. Mike and Egypt were then flirting with each other and revealing more details about their family and personal lives.

I didn't like it, because it felt "too forced" and I think people are somewhat uncomfortable with all the displays of affection. However, I think most people also don't want to see a lot of fights and negativity. We want to feel good when watching these types of programs.

Anyway, I gave this show a break, but then recently began watching it again. I now think it is one of the BEST programs on TV.

I used to be such a fan of Egypt years ago when she was on "Property Virgins." Egypt is a DYNAMO! She seems so smart, capable and strong. But she is not off-putting. She's just that type of person who seems to have the answers and confidence in whatever she sets her mind to. I love to see women like Egypt. She is poised and mature. She is at ease with people. She seems like someone who is rarely intimidated, and I think she is great!

Egypt's husband Mike seems like the absolute perfect match for her. He's a little more easy-going, but he is also so capable and confident in his work. Egypt is assertive/aggressive, but Mike has the perfect energy to match her. You can see they love and respect each other. Plus, they both have a sense of humor, and I believe that is good for any marriage.

It is wonderful to see a beautiful married couple like Mike and Egypt working together and building their business. I love their family and their values.

There are only a "few" designers on TV that I would trust to remodel my home. Mike and Egypt could help me any day. They do beautiful work. I would certainly hire them if I could.

I believe "Married to Real Estate" is a great show and I will continue to watch it.

Egypt, We would appreciate you more big you would STOP shutting down ALL your husbands ideas publically. Its NOT a good look. We KNOW you're the designer and was a boss before you got with him, but just STOP. Especially publically. You just need to say some things OFF camera. He's a good sport and deals with it, but its just NOT a good look. We love your show and are happy to see a married couple "WINNING". SOME things just need to be said in private and off camera. Not to diminish your talent AT ALL. We would appreciate your more as a couple if there was less shutting him down and dismissing his ideal "publicly" and more"yeah babe that's a good idea, but I was thinking more like...." A soft answer turns AWAY wrath.

I look forward to this particular renovation show. After Egypt & Mike won the 'Rock the Block', I knew this couple have it going on renovation skills, real estate venture skills, and family, including Mikes' uncle as well . I like how MIke & Egypt display affection and still get the job done. Keep up the superlative job and enjoy this blessing, as I enjoy and continue to look forward to more of Married to Real Estate.

Please delete this sentence, as the above paragraph says it all, but will not let me submit. Please advise, as I will return to see just what was posted. Thank you. Why do I keep getting the message review too short.

Yes!!!!! Black Love on display for all of us to see. Just absolutely beautiful!!! It's one of the most motivating and encouraging shows to watch. I love watching the renovations come to life and seeing how happy the customers are with the finished product. I love how they work together to get the job done. They take contracting seriously and the creativity is awesome. Each house is given special attention according to the specific personalities of the customers and so much detail is put into the special projects. I also enjoy the sneak peaks of their own home! I can't wait to contact them!!!!!

I really love the show, showing people the investment they made was sound. I like the humor with Uncle Mark and Mike and the encouragement Egypt and Mike give each other. HGTV what are you thinking. This is such an uplifting show with a happily married Black couple doing EVERYTHING. I get exhausted just hearing about all the things they do. Giving back to the community, volunteering, the radio show, family activities, her wallpaper designs. It's been fun to see the girls growing up, Kendal into art, Simone into fashion and Harper learning to swim. It's all good and a great roll model for anyone, but especially the black community.
