Why We Rated This on for Ages 11 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    The show runs on the idea that if you work hard and give people good value, they'll buy. But this is countered by some negativism between the brothers featured on the show.

  • Role models:

    The characters are good business people who practice good ethics. But they're also a little driven by profit, and the boss can be very hard on his employees -- sometimes unfairly so.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Not an issue.

  • Language:

    A fair amount of bleeped language, including one case in which the word "ass" was bleeped, but you could still see what was being said.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    The adults engage in some social drinking, and one of the featured principals owns a restaurant and bar.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About The Real Estate Pros

Parents need to know that even though this reality show is about business people who are focused on making the most money that they can, most of them seem to have strong ethics (though the boss can be very hard on his employees, sometimes unfairly so). There's some social drinking and bleeped language, but the content is fairly tame overall -- still, the subject matter (real estate) isn't likely to interest too many kids.
