The ‘Buy It or Build It’ Brothers Reveal the Biggest Mistake Homebuyers Are Making Today
Abstract
On the new HGTV show "Buy It or Build It," Chris and Calvin LaMont help homebuyers decide whether they want to purchase an existing house or design their own. What makes your show different from other renovation shows? Chris: The first thing that sets our show apart is Chris and Calvin LaMont. We live a different life, we have different experiences. Calvin: There are so many great shows on TV, so first off, we're humbled just to be able to have our own show on HGTV. I think how we differentiate our show from other shows is all the energy we bring. Which one of you specializes in building, and who specializes in buying? Chris: Calvin is the builder brother, I'm the buyer brother. What happens after the families make their decisions? Chris: Once they decide if they're going to buy it or build it, Calvin and I come together. Chris: [Laughing] Yes, we get a little different dichotomy between Calvin and I. We're brothers, so I'm going to be on Calvin a little bit harder, because I don't have to go home and sleep with him. Calvin: Since Calvin and I are brothers, and especially twin brothers, I believe you can say something crazy to your brother, and it's not like it's your wife who's thinking, "If you're going to say that to me, I'll slap you." Everybody understands brothers and sisters, and says, "Oh, there go two brothers fooling around." You've been working in the business for seven years now.
