Atlanta’s most famous reality show might be “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” but now it may be home for the latest Bravo installment, “Buying it Blind.” In this six-episode season, select Atlanta couples are able to have a trio of experts assist them in the buying process — but there’s a catch.

First, the couples meet with the experts to discuss their wants in a home. After their meeting, the show looks for a home and shows the couple the property, blindfolded. After the unveiling, the trio of experts will renovate the property into the couple’s liking. The couple, however, is not involved in the buying or renovation process beyond discussing their wants in a home. The couple is also required to give over their housing budget to the experts.

Fortunately, the trio of experts are no strangers to Atlanta real estate. The team consists of construction specialist and agent Jen Metzger, interior design consultant Michael Smith Boyd and Keller Williams agent Anna Kilinski.

“People think they know what they want but also don’t know what they want. That’s where a team of experts comes in,” Metzger said.

Boyd has made an appearance on Bravo TV before. In an episode of “the Real Housewives of Atlanta,” Boyd assisted Sheree Whitfield in designing “Chateau Sheree,” – the mansion Whitfield has faced numerous legal battles over.
