The Real Estate Pros (2007– ) User Reviews

I'm glade I saw it

[gimoromania · 8/10 · 10 January 2014]

I'm glad I saw "The Real Estate Pros" and I have to admit I enjoyed it. This TV series was recommended by a friend since I actually own a real estate portal in Romania: http://www.gimo.ro/ Ginger Alexander became one of my favorite woman on TV :) I've also seen Richard C. Davis in BigTime, a documentary filmed in 2010, Flip This House which was on TV between 2005-2006, or something like that. In this last mentioned TV series he played with Ginger as well. Back then I wasn't so surprised by their activity, but since The Real Estate Pros is related to my business activity, meaning real estate, you can imagine how much I enjoyed the episodes.

home run

this is what we've been waiting for, for so long and trademark didn't disappoint us! no more watching reruns on A&E and getting disgusted with flip this house wanna bees! great show and story and good luck to josh and the reds!

you were right about Hollywood couldn't write a script as good as this show!!! it had sorts, history,family, and human interest,good over coming evil. it is hard to believe that the house was moved in just 6 days

what was the final selling price?

i cant wait for the real deal to become weekly!

Yes Yes Yes Yes

[deb-gory · 10/10 · 21 April 2007]

After months (has it been years???) of watching knock-offs my appetite is finally sated. It's like we've been forced to watch generic television and finally someone's carrying name brand entertainment!!! Great job, everybody. I agree with other viewers that I still want to know how much this property finally sells for. And maybe, as well, it would have been nice to take a slower tour through the finished product to really appreciate all of the hard work. I don't remember seeing the finished bathroom... I'll probably watch this episode a couple of more times this week before the next new one airs. PS Rather smarmy of A&E to buy commercial time early in the episode to try and sway viewers back to their station as THE REAL DEAL aired. Boo A&E.

The wait is over and now THEY ARE BACK!!!

[randynjane-1 · 10/10 · 23 April 2007]

Thanks Team Trademark for this great show. I know it will continue for a long, long time. Thanks for the knowledge that you bring and the entertainment is great. I waited a long time for this come back and I am glad the wait is over. If you have never seen this team before on that other show, then now is the time to watch. They are back and better than ever. This show isn't just about flipping houses, it is a day in the life of very successful people at work doing what they are skilled in and giving the average watcher some expertise in there various fields of real estate. How lucky can you be to be able to work under Richard Davis and gain the training in the great world of real estate and to have him as a mentor. I feel like this show gives viewers a chance to get a small amount of mentoring from Richard Davis in 1 hour or less. How great it would be to work at Team Trademark everyday and to learn from all who work there everyday (like Richard, Ginder, Dawn, Vance & the others). If I lived in Charleston, I would love to work there. In short, watch this show. It is so great, you will find yourself anxiously awaiting the next episode. Watch It!

Fan for life!

[CindiWolf · 10/10 · 23 April 2007]

I am extremely happy to see you all back on my TV!! After the "bait & switch" that A & E did behind our collective backs, it is fabulous to see "The Real Team" back and going' for it again. NO ONE has the combination of honesty, integrity, benevolence and charisma that this team has so, accept no substitutes! The only thing I could suggest to make this experience even better is for them to write a "how-to" guide, for those who have been inspired by Richard and his crack team of professionals.

I am looking forward to MANY seasons to come of "The Real Deal". Consider me...a fan for life! Thanks.

Love the new Show!! Better then ever

[chriswlewis · 10/10 · 25 April 2007]

I absolutely love The Real Deal, Richard and his team are so entertaining and informative to watch! Even better is the level of class and honor with which his company operates; it is truly refreshing to witness a business man with a heart of gold making a difference in the lives of so many people.

I do not think that A&E has figured out that viewers want to be inspired by ACTUAL PEOPLE with character like Richard Davis and not beat over the head with crude, heartless, greedy ACTORS like Armando and the rest of the pretenders.

Congrats TLC and Team Trademark. We look forward to many more years of faithfully watching The Real Deal.

Real Deal

[czhva · 10/10 · 24 April 2007]

I was so happy to See Richard and team trademark back. Because I love the business aspect of flipping houses for profit, and when team Trademark was absent for awhile I must admit I had watched the other show about flipping houses. I did also learn from the others, but they are not just in the same spirit. I love how Richard is not against other parties in the deal- he wants everyone to win. This doesn't seem to be true in competing shows, where they "grind" out every dollar they can from contractors and workers. I used to work at a bank, and the tellers could spot a counterfeits by the way they felt. This is because they were so used do dealing with real money. The same is true here, others seem like phonies after seeing the Real Deal! Welcome back!!

Loved the show EVEN BETTER than "Flip This House"!

[jennifer-542 · 23 April 2007]

Oh my gosh! My husband and I really loved the show! What we loved about this show even more than your "Flip This House" show (and we really loved that show, too), was that you went into more detail about the process of the flip and it was more educational. "The Real Deal" also retained its "Trademark" entertainment value.

My husband commented that he felt it described some of how Richard got started with Trademark, which is good information for the viewer to have because a lot of viewers might have aspirations of going into that type of career field. All in all, we will be looking forward to watching your show every Saturday night on TLC.

Loved It

[brandybug · 10/10 · 22 April 2007]

I Loved it I have been waiting forever for it to come back on and I am so glad that it is on TLC. A & E really messed up when they tried to replace Trademark. I tuned in for the season premiere when it started and I had no idea that trademark wasn't doing it. Needless to say I was highly disappointed. Then to find out what happened and too find out that the show was coming to TLC was a blessing.This show is so much better then any other Flip House show The Real Deal packs more into an hour then any of those 30 min shows. I hope The Real Deal sticks around for a very long time!! What happened to Kevin though? He is the only thing I noticed that was missing. Brandy in TN

Great Debut! Go Hamilton!

[fordo75 · 10/10 · 24 April 2007]

Richard: Great debut on Saturday night. You are a shrewd businessman, a driven individual but most of all a decent person. You display character and class on each episode and I have the utmost respect for you. There is nothing fraudulent about you and your sincerity and "Southern way" exhibits itself readily. You have established a loyal fan base up here in Boston as a result.

Great to see Hamilton lighting it up. ESPN has been giving him some good exposure and I wish him the best. He's lucky to have a man of your stature in his corner. I hope he's defeated his "demons." Love the show. Don't like Armando! He's a PUNK! Chris Forde

Home again - Thanks TLC

[greg-1251 · 10/10 · 24 April 2007]

Wow! I'm so glad that TLC picked up Richard and Team Trademark! It's great to see the gang that helped start it for us. The only reason we kept watching the A&E program was a hope that a) it would get better and b) they would wise up and bring the original team back. Well neither has happened. We watch for tips on how to work with your team and your contractors and subs. We also enjoy the interaction you have with each other. It is a true "Learning Channel" experience.

The new name is an awesome dig on A&E and their futile attempt at duplicating the magic that is Team Trademark. :)

Thanks again and we will continue to support you guys any way we can in all your endeavors.

Love This Show

[rovito4 · 10/10 · 24 April 2007]

Richard & Ginger are excellent entertainment. Ginger is the bomb, and Richard is just so down to earth, you'd never know he was a rich guy. Glad to see that they are back on TV!!! Great to know that TLC is supporting them. I think Ginger's dog is the cutest. The other trademark team members are good as well. Its just I really enjoy it when Ginger walks around the job sight with her designer clothes and stiletto heals. I remember one episode where Richard forgot he had checks in his truck! Checks for Trademark! The house flipping days may be over for the amateurs but these people are the REAL DEAL. Kepp up the quality entertainment TEAM TRADEMARK. Maybe there's an Emmy in your future.

Back & Better Than Ever!!!!

[vgautney1 · 10/10 · 24 April 2007]

It is so wonderful to see the gang at Trademark back in action! I wouldn't have dreamed it possible that "Team Trademark" could be better than before, but this show is amazing. Right from the beginning the "Team" gave us everything we loved about "Flip" and then delivered much more. We love the new look of the show, and are so pleased that that heart of the show is still as powerful as ever! It' exciting to look forward to each new episode to see what the "Team" will take on next. We also enjoy seeing such a caring man like Richard helping his community and those in need! We look forward to "MANY" years of watching the gang pull off he impossible, (for everyone else that is!!) Go Team!!!!

Its about time!

[matt-2428 · 10/10 · 23 April 2007]

It does seem likes it been years since we have gotten to see the gang at work! I liked the new show a lot and was glad to see Richard finally got to do it the way he wanted to. The show seemed like it was all Ginger and Richard. Wheres everyone else? I need to see Vance and some metal detectors!!! Anyways Glad to see the gang back on TV representing South Carolina and our beautiful Charleston. I agree with the previous posts that I would have liked to see more of a tour of the house and if it did sale. Although I know that is a lot to shove into one episode. Maybe they can do like a results show half way through the season and show us for how much and if the previous homes sold. Just a thought for consideration for Richard and Team Trademark. By the way I loved all the Youtube skits y'all did!

Glad The Team Is Back!!

[tpatin-1 · 10/10 · 24 April 2007]

I am thrilled to see Team Trademark back on television!! I was dedicated to the old show and when I realized that the Trademark crew was ousted I was devastated!!! The other A&E people were horrible and had no idea of what to do and how to deal with people. I just viewed the season premiere and the entire episode was excellent-within the time frame of the show, Richard and the team show the viewers how flips are done-and that they are NEVER a piece of cake!! I have already set my TiVo for the entire season as I am ready to see what Trademark will do next!! Although the show is new, it is like you guys never left-and that is an awesome thing. You have definitely created a new wave in reality television that is REAL-not fluffed up and fake. You guys have definitely encouraged me to tackle real estate development as a profession! BRAVO!!!!!

Welcome Back!

[janc1955 · 10/10 · 24 April 2007]

Loved it, Team Trademark! I especially like the "talking head" cut-ins with Richard and Ginger - your personalities and sincerity really shine through. (Great job on Ginger's hair & makeup in those shots, and it's nice to see Richard sans hat and shades!) Loved the maggot segment ... yuk! Also enjoyed seeing Richard and Manual (Labor) get acquainted! But seriously ... I like the fact that EVERYONE gets his or her hands dirty if necessary.

You guys have a good thing going here, for sure! Keep up the great work!

Looking forward to the next episode! :-)

The Real Deal is truly "the real deal"!!

[sandra-335 · 10/10 · 24 April 2007]

I love it when people work hard to entertain and educate me!! And this show does both.

Team Trademark rates as #1 in my book for an excellent show and even more excellent people. I couldn't believe that they pulled off doing the necessary renovations to "The House that wouldn't Sell"!! Lots of drama, surprises, and some laughs. This makes for great TV.

I think Richard should aggravate Ginger more. He always gets a rise out of her resulting in that classic "look" she has when she's irritated. He knows just how to push her buttons.

I can't believe how the pool guys cleaned up that nasty pool. We've had one and it's a real challenge to keep the pH factor just right.

Richard is a tough business wheeler-dealer but the show does a good job of showing his human side.

I recommend it for everyone! Sandra from Tennessee

Terrific beginning for a Terrific Team

[rick07666 · 24 April 2007]

Do you want the dictionary definition of TEAMWORK??? Look in the dictionary & you'll fine Team Trademark's photos!!! Excellent show. Richard Davis is the ONLY Real Estate person to whom I have ever written a fan letter. A&E was really crummy inserting an advertisement for their TV show. Amazing how that team works, Ginger in her spiked heels, getting' down and dirty cleaning kitchen, windows, etc. Richard rolling up his sleeves to COMPLETELY mess up the pool. How human, how great. Love the people, love the show. Need to see more of the others as well. I think if more entrepreneurs watched the Davis Team at work, they would have greater success in whatever their field of business might be. Glad to see you all back. Can't wait for tonight's episode.

The Real Deal

[sal-lyn · 10/10 · 22 April 2007]

Team Trademark didn't disappoint. We are looking forward to each and every new episode. We still watch all the reruns of these wonderful people on that other show. We can't get enough of them. We wish them the best of luck and a long and prosperous future in the genre. We also want to know if they will be doing updates on their past shows and if the all of the crew is back. After seeing the other guys on Flip this House, they can't compare with Richard Davis and his staff of talented and really down to earth people. You really get a sense of family when you watch these people work together, and it is especially nice to see that even though Richard Davis is in business to make money he doesn't let that get in his way of still being a caring and thoughtful person. He values his staff and his friends and when push comes to shove he always seems to do the noble thing, even if it means losing a profit. Way to go guys. Sal-Lyn

Friends reunited

[mret-1 · 10/10 · 22 April 2007]

Finally seeing new episodes with Richard, Ginger and the team at Trademark, is like friends getting together again! On Saturday night, my hometown is Charleston S.C. with "The Real Deal". You wouldn't think watching reconstruction of a house could be entertaining, but Richard Davis has a team of people with wonderful personalities who you would love to have as neighbors and friends. I'm looking forward each week to watching "The Real Deal" and Team Trademark on TLC taking a run-down property, and transforming it to a show-place. Being from Cincinnati and a Reds fan, I have to get Josh Hamilton's and Richard Davis' signature on the same baseball.

Number 1 Show for the Spring Season

[mcconnellsts-1 · 10/10 · 25 April 2007]

Great to see Team Trademark back. The show can lose Kevin, I think he was jealous of the working relationship anyway. Remember Richard and Kevin are childhood friends and they're friendship is more than a show. Richard also said in one of the first shows he was divorced, I believe. Very little is said about personal relationships, but you've got to listen. He's good to his boys, I liked the Shoeless Joe show. Now for A&E what a waste of some good commerical money...you didn't pull anyone from the opening "Real Deal", which should have been called "Mac Daddied". TLC good snag with Team Trademark, we'll be there watching every show.

We love Team Trademark in New Mexico!!

[janschuman · 10/10 · 29 April 2007]

The original Richard Davis' "Flip This House" was the absolute best reality show on television...only surpassed by the new Richard Davis' Team Trademark reality show "The Real Deal"!!! The viewers need a weekly installment at a regular time with re-runs throughout the week. Love the way the show highlights different team members opinions, view of the project, and their integral parts while getting the whole project accomplished. There is no way professional actors could portray the emotions, stress, and the energy the people in this company obviously go through and feel about the people they are working with, the communities they have improved and are a part of, not to mention the homeowners they have helped. No doubt...they are The Real Deal!

Worth Waiting For!!!

[denovo · 10/10 · 21 April 2007]

LOVED the first episode of "The Real Deal"!! All that we've been waiting for since Trademark's previous series is in this terrific new one, and then some. I liked the cut-away explanations by Richard and Ginger of what needed to be done and how they hoped to accomplish it. Seeing how much they did in less than a week was amazing, and the house looked fabulous. And without giving anything away, this was another example of how Trademark Properties isn't just in it for the money; when possible they try to help out people as well. Not only are they a great team, but they are a team who cares. Way to go, Trademark!! Glad to have you back!! Saturday nights at my house just got better :)

Glad to see you back

[entityfs · 10/10 · 22 April 2007]

The Real Deal was well worth waiting for! I think it's great that Trademark shows that this "Flip" business is not all easy and cash, cash, cash to anyone who gets into it, and how complications can set in when least expected.

I think it would be great if Trademark came up with a project checklist book that people who are buying and / or renovating a home can use when doing renovation work. No one would have more experience in knowing what to look for, what to remember to do (well most of the time eh Richard) than this company. I hope some day Richard will write a book on how he got started and how he got to where he is. I think it would make interesting reading.

Keep going Richard - you have a fan in CANADA!

Finally ... The Real Deal!!

[robynaj · 10/10 · 21 April 2007]

I am so glad that this show is so similar to the original "Flip this House". The show itself was a good start to the series -- a house with major problems that, of course, gets fixed by the open house date. A few noticeable differences (Ginger has gone a little bit Hollywood, and there was not very much face time with the construction crews), but overall the same Trademark personality. We missed seeing the rest of the team, but I guess depending on the property featured on the show, maybe we will see them in future episodes -- but Richard and Ginger are a hoot - I only wish she would tell him off once in a while - like when he was goofing around with the chlorine. We enjoyed it and will watch in the future!
