Tampa Realtor, wife of baseballs Gary Sheffield, stars in not-quite-real reality TV show
On the first episode of TVs newest real estate show, Tampa agent DeLeon Sheffield welcomes client John Racener to a large house for sale.
"I love this part right here," Racener exclaims as they step onto a covered lanai. "Oooo, awesome, he says of the master bedroom. And when asked if this house "is the one," he replies: "I think it is."
In fact, Racener already owns the house and has for the past seven years.
Not everything is what it appears to be in Sheffield Real Estate, a "reality" show that debuted last month starring Sheffield and her husband, former Major League Baseball star Gary Sheffield. Some of the buyers really arent buyers. While the show portrays DeLeon as a leading Realtor in luxury homes, she actually ranks far below Tampa Bays top agents some of whom declined to let camera crews film their high-end properties.

(52,183 posts)everything about it was fake. they were filmed visiting properties that were completely non-starters for them, they were made to say positive things about the houses that they didn't agree with at all, footage was edited so that things they said at and about one house were made to look like they were at and talking about a different house, and in the end the program said they happily bought one of the houses, when in fact they never even made a bid for it.
as most people do, i imagine, they didn't stomp their feet and chose to just go along with it because whatever, they're on tv, so what if it's in a fictional show instead of a non-fiction show.
