Sold on SLC

I watched some of the other shows featuring fake realtors and good times. I tried so hard to like this, but it's so hard to deal with the hypocrisy,of the fake mormons that will do just about anything for money!! It's just the worst, don't waste your time!! A bunch of non-Mormon Mormons, so 2020. If these realtors had any kind of self worth or credibility to their name, they sure don't now. Nobody with any sense would hire them to sell their house! The storylines are atrocious. If people really let their spouses get away with stuff like this deserve all the sadness and humiliation that comes with this TV show.

I started watching Sold on SLC thinking it would be a high-end real estate show. I expected some luxury properties, market insight, and a behind-the-scenes look at how top agents work in Salt Lake City. What I got instead was a heavily scripted drama that just happens to take place in the world of real estate.

The first red flag was the over-the-top intro where every agent flexes their "lifetime sales" number. One agent said she had sold over $100 million in real estate, which sounds huge until you realize that in Utah, that could be a handful of luxury homes. It's all very performative.

And then there are the flashbacks. Yes, actual acted flashbacks where the agents reenact past drama like it's a soap opera. The acting in those scenes feels like it belongs in a low-budget adult film. It's surreal. I don't understand how this passed as a "reality" show when so much of it feels staged or scripted.

As for the content, it's mostly drama. The agents openly talk behind each other's backs, hold grudges over petty issues, and deliver emotional monologues about missed open houses and Instagram snubs. There's a heavy Christian/Mormon undertone in how they present themselves, but it's more surface-level than anything meaningful.

That said, it is kind of funny. Not intentionally, but in the way that watching chaos unfold in slow motion can be. If you treat it like a parody of real estate reality shows, it's entertaining. But if you're here for actual real estate or professional insights, you'll be disappointed.

Overall, it's messy and overproduced, but not boring. Watch it if you're in the mood for dramatic fluff. Skip it if you're looking for anything close to reality.
