I think Sandra is a phony and a terrible realtor.
The first thing she does is to dashes all hopes of buying a dream home by having her clients meet her in a neighborhood they clearly can’t afford. If she really had the clients best interest in mind she would have told them in advance the neighborhood selected was well out of their price range and saved them the embarrassment.
I would expect no less from my agent.
Then for a cheap thrill she forces them, yes I said forces them guess the price of the house they like only to deflate and embarrass them essentially saying, “Sorry sucker, you don’t make enough money to live here.”
Next this whole concept of staying out side while the clients browse through the house alone is nothing less than a cheap trick to get inside their head.
If her intention is really to let them form their own opinions without her influence then why listen in on them even worse make rude comments about their first impressions.
It’s painful to watch their confusion about the property knowing the so-called realtor is right outside doing nothing.
Next without fail she makes them guess the price of every single house.
Who does that?
Even if they come right out and ask she will turn it around and won’t tell them the price of the house unless they guess first.
I would fire the agent right there on the spot if they tried to pull that do-do on me. I’m paying my agent a good amount of money to give me the facts and information I need to evaluate my options. You insult my intelligence and waste my time asking me guess the price time after time like it’s some kind of a freaking game show.
What makes even worse is when they guess wrong and they usually do she will make a comment like “wow you’re way off.” Or “what a typical property virgin!”
Last but not least if they don’t like the house for any reason she will make horrifically ugly faces mostly directed at the weaker of the two clients and then makes desperate suggestions like blow out walls and replace carpet.
And who is going to pay for that Sandra, You?
Sandra is rude, over bearing and should not be in this business much less the host of a game show.
Oh did I say game show? I meant to say reality show. Bye the way. Stay out of the US. In case you haven’t heard we have a job shortage here and every time you sell property in America you are robbing potential business from our own realtors. They have family and children to feed.
I think it’s time to find someone new. Really, I can’t stand her

I cant stand her. Cant stand her voice, her choice in clothing (she’s trying to squeeze way too much flab in young clothes), and i’d swear there isn’t a drug testing program in force at her employer. Not to be so cruel, but rare as it is, sometimes someone just grates on you…she grates on me can’t stand her and ALWAYS change the channel when she’s on.
and as for her being a partner broker after only 12 years? With her personality? Obviously it wasnt real estate she had to sell a lot of to get there.

Her show is excellent and she is a realtor in very high demand. Many people want to be on the show and they know what the show is about. They get great advice and usually end up in a nice home. She cares about their best interests and works hard to get them the best price possible. If you don’t like her show don’t watch it and please don’t use her as a realtor if you don’t like her. Plenty of us do like her show.

First, you have no idea what the show is about. Second, you must really have it in for women, for some reason. Are you gay?

Rinomato is awful. The camera most definitely does not love her. She has an annoying screechy voice, bad skin and badly hennaed hair. I think she is either an alcoholic with liver damage or uses way too much bronzer on her skin, which definitely appears jaundiced. She has a face you want to scrub and a gap between her two front teeth. Her clothes are way too tight for her body type.
I can barely look at her.
And her saleswoman ship….GROANS. She actually argues with her customers! You don’t argue with customers IMO….You ‘bring them around’……they are precious flowers! To be cultivated!! ……and she’s also “gimmicky

You guys are being too tough on Sandra and her show, I think it is entertaining. It does oversimplify the buying process though. If nothing else it can be interesting to see how much your money gets you in different cities. And unless she’s licensed in all those states she’s probably arranging the deal and a local agent is completing it. I do enjoy watching her squeeze into those tight tops, I keep hoping one of these days one of those massive buhbees will flop out and liven up the show a little………….lol.
GoEasyonSandra on November 13th, 2009 at 8:44 pm | Link
Well GoEasyonSandra, I agree she looks some what ridiculous trying to squeeze into those tight jeans. I mean you either got it or you don’t and she diffidently doesn’t.
I’m not a realtor but I have purchased several houses over the years and if my agent came on to me with the kind of pressure Sandra does she would get the boot.
Even the name property virgin is somewhat offensive but more importantly this woman is unbelievably rude and pushy.
In this episode I saw today her clients bailed on her and didn’t ever return her calls. Justifiably so I might add. This is not the first time I have seen it happen to her.
Damn! she must really be annoying.

Sometimes when I’m out showing properties with people who can’t decide and spend way too much time looking I wish I could have Sandra there to help push them along and cut to the chase. I know the show is rehersed and staged but I really think she might be helping some of us Realtors out there. It’s a tough job and not as easy as most people think it is. My husband loves the show and he was a real estate broker 30 years ago.
Kelly on November 18th, 2009 at 9:33 pm | Link
I put it to you. How would you like it if you were going to spend $ 500,000,00 on a house along with 50 or 60 thousand dollars of your own money only to have your agent tell you to go proceed with the walk through while she stand outside and watches you on her lap top, listening in on everything you say.
Then you turn around and she seems to have just been standing there the whole time. She asks you in her squishy voice, “so whaduthink? Which she already knows from all her colonies videotaping your every move. You try to tell her that you just don’t feel it; she replies with a loud belthcy voice, “That’s not a good answer; this hooosh has everything you ask for. The client freezes in shock and says, we just aren’t feeling it.
The next thing you know Sandra is belittling them suggesting being a so-called properly virgin has muddled their minds and they think too much with their heart.
I can’t even go on it just pisses me off. I’ll tell something, if I ever run into her in my town selling hoooses I’m gona do something.
Randy from California on November 20th, 2009 at 11:47 pm | Link
Sandra Rinomato seems OK to me.
She has a pretty typical Canadian accent.
She has a great smile.
There are a couple of things I don’t understand about her show
1) whether the 3 choices the clients get are the only 3 choices they’re given, but I suppose no, they are just the most they can show after editing - and
2) why some of the shows seem to hide the city they are in; I find that distracting because instead of paying attention, I’m looking for clues.
Jeff on November 21st, 2009 at 6:16 pm | Link
It’s ironic that all I had to do is Google “can’t stand Sandra rinimato” and found this site along with a host of others. After seeing just one of her episodes I was so enraged with her goofy looks and wannabe a realtor/actor mentality I just had to get it off my chest.
To say Sandra is rude and over bearing is an understatement. Not only do I find her grossly unattractive but the way she stands outside while trying to sell “hoouses” has got to be the laziest, half assed example of an honest days work I have ever seen.
And constantly belittling her clients behind their backs is completely unacceptable.
My wife went as far as to say she’d like to punch her in the mouth. I on the other hand am a lover not a fighter. Long story short, Sandra is the worst realtor I have ever seen. I can’t stand her.

James on November 26th, 2009 at 7:58 pm | Link
I’ve seen this woman reduce young clients to the point of tears with her bullying, and her overbearing personality. There must have been complaints after the earlier shows, because I’ve noticed that she’s less bossy, and is attempting to ’soften’ her approach. She shows her young clients such awful-looking houses, and then tries to convince them that this overpriced garbage is value for money. These so-called real estate ‘experts’ have a lot to answer for. There’s something phony about this whole show.
Kim on November 26th, 2009 at 8:02 pm | Link
Why does Sandra ALWAYS show homes that cost more than what her clients tell her they want to spend? She must only be concerned with her commissions, because she is putting first time home buyers in a position to fail. This is the number one reason for the rise in foreclosures; people buying homes they cannot afford. For a show that is supposed to help first time buyers, there will be an even bigger opportunity for a new show that details all of the foreclosures and defaults on homes that Sandra has been the realtor. It is a shame that HGTV has been enabling this type of scam on first time home buyers who are expecting to receive professional advice and not being forced into homes that are above the budget they set for their home search. She and HGTV are lucky that no one has sued for such bad financial real estate guidance.
I can’t stand Sandra Rinomato!

I’m actually quite surprised at the vicious comments. Her show is probably the best on HGTV. I think she looks great, especially her boobs! The show is called ‘Property Virgins’. Sometimes she’s hard on them because some of them don’t know what they’re looking for. Some of them turn down a house just because of the paint colour. Pretty stupid. Imagine having to deal with stupid people on a regular basis. Keep up the good work Sandra and ….hmmmm… maybe the blouses could be a little more low cut, just for a little more icing on that cake.
Ken on December 17th, 2009 at 3:55 pm | Link
I never respond to these kinda things, but you people are nuts! THIS IS A TV SHOW! You people are killing me.
First off, the premise of the show shows that there are compromises with every property, regardless of you budget. I grew up in NY Westchester County and even with millions of dollars to spend there are compromises. There, people buy houses for over a million and knock it down to build another. Still location may be compromised.
As for the bidding wars and paying above asking ,price, you must be from some place in the middle of nowhere in the country. Economics 101 - Supply and Demand. This is what dictates the market. There are still bidding wars in some parts of the US and Canada, where supply is very low. Also, some of these shows were recorded prior to a year ago and the fall of the housing market.
As for her looks, I’m sure you are all stunning and walk the runway on a daily basis. lol
As for showing people houses they can’t afford, these people are idiots and she educates them. They go to buy a house and are fixated on the bottom line number but NEVER look at the monthly carrying costs, never figure in closing cost or monthly expenses.
On another note, the show is edited and frequently see many more than just 3 houses. It’s a half an hour show people…you all can’t be that stupid and think that they have to choose form these three houses that viewers see.
As for her real estate license, she only works in a few areas in the US and Canada - Totonto area, Florida, Texas, DC area and recently New Jersey. I’m sure she’s either licensed there or the show has a contract with a licenses broker.
I could go on and on responding to all of these ridiculous comments, but why bother? YOu guys can bitch all you want about her, but obviously you’re watching:

WOWOW! You people are killing me too!
This IS a TV show! Not your every day ‘buying a house for the first time’ routine. These people who are on he show, obviously have seen the show to realize what the process is like. The show is called “Property Virgins” so I’m not sure why you guys think it is so wrong for her to do what she does and how she does it. She is a seasoned realtor and frankly she does a great job at giving her clients the advice they need. I think her advice is helpful and great - we all learn something. The woman is extremely successful and does well for herself (Sandra I love love love your Fendi shoes!!). I love the way she dresses and as far as I’m concerned, she has an great body. You need to stop hating on the woman and worry about your flaws because we all have them. If you “cant stand” her for whatever issues you have with yourself, don’t watch her show!!
I on the other hand LOVE her show and if I had a choice to meet an HGTV person, it would totally be her!
P.S. When you haters decide to stop paying RENT and buy a house for the first time, go on House Hunters or something.

And who wrote all that bull? Sandra’s kids? LOL! She is a bitch TV show or not she has no class or people skills. No realtor I know stands outside while there clients walk through the property alone.
Making them guess the price? How annoying especially when you know she’s just trying to see if they will guess high so she can come back and say, oh you’re going to love me, the price is only xxx.
How sickening. She really needs for someone to kick her ass.
Julia on December 21st, 2009 at 9:49 pm | Link
So many people keep focusing on the fact that she stands outside while the ‘property virgins’ check out the house, then makes them guess the price. Is it not obvious that she’s trying to educate them as well as the viewers? Can we not see that she’s trying to bring these clueless potential homebuyers with unrealistic expectations back down to earth so that they can make an educated level-headed decision? Most of these ‘virgins’ have no idea what they want, and worse, they seems to think that they can afford a mansion on a tiny budget. As for attacking her physical appearance, well, that’s just so pathetic. Really? You’re ugly and I hate your show? What are you, eleven years old? If you want to see how Sandra’s ‘virgins’ would really be acting while searching for a house, watch My First Place. That show is filled with picky people with unrealistic expectations while their agents smile and nod and show them 200 properties when Sandra could have snapped them out of it real quick with her tactics.

I don’t care if it is only a “TV Show” this bitch is condescending , rude and has an unsightly gap between her teeth that makes her look stupid.
People are not so dull that you have to make them guess prices to educate them. Just give people the facts and treat them like adults and they will catch on. There are several first time buyer shows and Property Virginal is the worst.
I agree that Sandra needs to be fired and someone else with a few less wrinkles around their mouth can take over. There is no reason to be as rude and overbearing as she is. I hate that bitch.
Denise on December 25th, 2009 at 10:05 pm | Link
I’m telling you as a first time home buyer myself that nobody should have to “guess the price” of a house over and over again. I expect to be told the price of the house before I even take the time to look at it.
I don’t need to play silly guessing games to gather information, people just aren’t that stupid. I saw one episode of this show and I was so turned off by what’s her face I don’t think I’ll watch it again.
In fact at the end of the show I was so pissed I did a simple Google search under “I can’t stand Sandra Rinomato” and you would not believe all the forums and pissed off people out there.
I expect my realtor to walk me though the house and explain things as we go along, not stand outside and make sarcastic comments about my impressions.
Seriously this broad is worthless!
Mac on December 27th, 2009 at 9:32 pm | Link
like it or not, sandra knows her stuff. I love it when she drops science on the stupid, over-picky virgins who haven’t even bothered to do their homework. Some of those buyers are so ignorant I want to punch THEM in the face, not sandra. I think she is awesome for being so patient. You say she’s bitchy, I say she gets the job DONE.
I like that she lets them go through alone. My first realtor went through with me and when I complained about a sloping floor (which is a sign of foundation problems) she tried to distract me by pointing out the ceiling fans. I would rather sandra had been there, at least she is honest about all the problems she knows about.
I really hate the people who say they want fixer-uppers, but then run screaming from a purple kitchen countertop.
And you say she’s ugly, that’s just stupid and petty. She is awesome and I wish I could have had her help when I bought my first place.
What really gets on my nerves are people who CANNOT spell, posting on message boards. Jeez, “over bearing” is actually one word. And “alot” is two. Turn off the TV, read a book, and shut up!
Sandra Knowsit on January 2nd, 2010 at 2:23 am | Link
I don’t know why some of you are so upset. You must all be 20 - somethings who think all TV personalities are supposed to be young, beautiful people.
Sandra appears to be in her 40’s to me. She looks like a real person, not an airbrushed model. A real person has beauty and flaws at the same time. Overall, Sandra is attractive and a not bad figure.
As far as her real estate method is concerned - this is a television show people! It s for entertainment as well as information. The guessing of the costs of the houses is entertainment which gets the audience involved. How many of you have seen that and not tried to guess the cost along with the clients?
Be reasonable, I’m sure Sandra doesn’t present properties this way in reality. In reality she wants to sell properties and obviously doesn’t go about it by discouraging her clients or making them feel bad.
So watch the show or not. But keep in mind that you’re watching entertainment.
Teller on January 3rd, 2010 at 2:59 pm | Link
Clearly you don’t understand about the program or how TV works. Her comments directed toward people looking at the home while she’s outside are not made while she’s “spying” on them. They are inserted later in the editing process. Moreover, anyone appearing on the show knows what it’s about and they don’t have any surprises. If you don’t like it, why watch it? But if you”re going to watch it, then complain about it afterward, at least have your facts straight before doing so.

Sandra does a great job on educating her clients. I really enjoy this show and have learned alot. She’s not a warm and fuzzy person, but she’s professional. Everytone has a different style and I’d rather her be herself then be fake.
Though I too wish her stylist would assist with more flattering clothes, I think Sandra is an attractive woman with a nice smile. I have a gap as well, and I think it’s quite rude for people to make such negative comments just because a person has a space between their teeth! How ignorant is that????? So it’s fine if you don’t like the show, but it’s very tacky and immature to talk about her appearance. That’s just plain mean!!!!!
Rachel on January 4th, 2010 at 10:56 pm | Link
Rachel, I agree with your post….people really stoop low when they start acting like 7th graders and pick on someone’s appearance.
In reality though, Sandra is actually very attractive. Her stylists probably have her in tight clothes for a reason -I have a theory behind that but my caffeine hasn’t kicked in yet and my baby is screaming so I can’t (lol).
What can I say -I like the woman and think she is awesome. I think warm and fuzzy doesn’t cut it in real estate….I’d rather have a realtor who “says it like it is” and does not sugar coat ANYTHING (I’ve made two huge mistakes with purchasing my last two properties and would have done anything to have her).
People, stop the hate already! Look in the mirror at your own faults and start working on them instead of crucifying an innocent person who does not deserve your horrible comments. This is a person we are dealing with here….where are your morals?

I find the topic ill concieved and amatouristic.. Its a frickin TV show.. leave her alone.. Sandra is a professional in all respects and have to wade in and out of the idiots on the show who have no money saved for downpayment .. but expect to live in a palace. Frankly.. the way hse handles these immature idiots is refreshing..and professional.. The start..shwoing them what they cannot affrod gets these lame people off their butts to work harder if they expect grandure..and letting them formulate their own opinions in the walkthrough is good TV.. I laugh every time.. and guessing the price is a good tool for self valuation.. things are not always what they seem..
Plus.. Sandra is way hot.. the gap and the giant CANS.. baby.. she can ride me around anytime.. go Sandra..! ! !.. all you immature punks.. stick your heads back in the sand where they belong..

I think she is gorgeous. Its funny that some search “cant stand sandra rinomato” and yet when you type her name in google the most popular drop down options include “sandra rinomato hot” and “sandra rinomato breasts”. I personally can’t get enough of her luscious breasts and tight curves. she knows it too, and you can almost always catch her showing those blouse puppies off (kind of hard not to!). She has a beautiful face, and i think the gap make her uniquely stunning. I always click over in hopes that she’s wearing one of those button down blouses, gapping between the buttons, just barely holding back her huge tits. god, i’m getting off just thinking about it. the perfect woman.

It amazes me that one idiot couldn’t really defend her so he or she complained about spelling errors. So What!
This site was created for those who take issue with someone or thing and it appears that there is a multitude of real life people who can’t stand this broad.

I have a hard time believing this is just some kind of a fluke. Seriously I love to watch as I enjoy the different style home on the program but I have to watch it with the mute on to avoid having to listen to that awful screechy voice.
And what a lazy bitch as well, I can see I’m not the only one who has a problem with a realtor that doesn’t do their job. For a realtor to wait outside while the clients try to understand they layout of the property is just inconceivable. If I see her in 2010 I think I’m going to puke.
Andy on January 8th, 2010 at 7:14 pm | Link
I must say, that although I watch the show quite religiously, its only for decorating ideas and to keep in touch with my Toronto roots.
Sandra has got to be the worst Agent there is. She has the Atlas syndrome, show something above price range, or show something in price range but bad neighbourhood. Or show a fixer upper.
I just purchased my home, and Sandra who is pushy with 3-4 home showings only (could be edited and she shows more)always waits for the offer and upsells the negatives and does not know what it means to offer lower than asking? Even advising a couple to proceed with Home Inspection on a BRAND NEW HOUSE, that is still covered in the warranty. Man, she is just terrible. I really do not know how she makes a living. I’ve got to say she takes the prize for being terrible, condescending and beyond reproach with her attitude.
I have to watch it on mute, most of the time, because I cannot handle her negativity.
My agent, was the most wonderful man and he showed us many homes. We purchased our home because he found it, he negotiated and we did not pay a cent over what we were comfortable with. Not once did he pressure us. We are now very good friends with him and his family.
And if anyone needs a good agent, I will not hesitate referring him.
Grace on January 8th, 2010 at 7:51 pm | Link
I must agree with Grace on her faults with Sandra. She does strike a condescending chord every episode (if I hear “oh you virgins you!” one more time…) and she does seem to be pushy when a couple expresses that they could find something more to their liking.
We should be careful about criticizing other posters — there’s a difference between passing judgment on public people or celebrities and criticizing fellow members in a forum. For all intents, we are peers and should exercise more respect and caution with each other than with people who make a living being on television.

Last week, she talked a couple into taking a $400,000 mortgage instead of $300,000. The reason being the monthly payment is not that different. She is just a self-serving manipulative crook, thinking about her commission first and foremost.
Doesn’t she know the interest rates are probably going to be higher when their mortgage resets 3-5 years from now? Besides, with such a big mortgage, very few capital will have been paid and the housing market will have gone down the drain. Her show should be taken off the air. All it does is encourage people to buy too much house and live way beyond their means. She is going to be sued soon.
And I agree with dental work: she needs a dental job real bad.
OH on January 8th, 2010 at 7:56 pm | Link
I agree Sandra is a horrible agent. I don’t think she cares what the client wants; she is more interested in shoving her prefernce down their thoats. She is quite condescending. In one episode she seems to berate a couple who was disappointed that the master bathroom was shared by all the bedrooms on the second floor. Her comment, “I have never heard of a semi-en suite bathroom being a deal breaker! Live and learn!” How condescending. I also don’t trust her ethics with her guidance on offer amount. Her goal is far from getting her clients the property they want at the best price.

I’m not the Debbie who is on here complaining about her nor am I am one of her producers. The other Debbie -you have some issues sweetie. Get off of this site and do something useful with your life.
People, it is fine not to like someone, but you don’t need to belittle them to the point you are here.
It is pathetic the amount of hate we have in this country. Grow up, get some love in your heart and try to be a better person already.
I’m am sickened by this site….this is the last you will hear from me (I’m sure you are happy about that).
I found this by mistake and can’t believe that people actually take the time to type in a google search the fact that they hate her. Makes me wonder just how big of a LOSER you are. Pathetic folks!

Ok, I wasn’t going to comment but this is getting out of hand. I’m sure my comment will probably be lost in the sea of negativity, but I’m posting it anyway.
From reading the derisive, negative, and inflammatory comments on this site and others, it is clear to me that they are the workings of one or two deranged individuals with a serious ax to grind against Sandra. Just look at the writing style and if you read carefully, you can see that many of them are almost word for word on all the same sites…just with a different name attached at times. Whatever the reason is, I don’t know but you need to get some serious psychiatric treatment and spend your time doing things more positive than posting multiple times under multiple names in your efforts to drum up hatred for her.
BTW, if you google “can’t stand Sandra Rinomato,” only SIX results show up and I can guarantee it’s the same person posting here, so there isn’t the sea of hatred against this woman that you so desperately want there to be.
Anyway, I understand that this is a complaint site, but if you’re going to complain about someone, take the time to get your facts straight. It is completely off-base to say that Sandra is a horrible realtor. Her successful business and all her awards (including the 2007 Stevie award for Best Canadian Entrepreneur) prove otherwise. As for the first comment that implies she had to do some unsavory things to get to where she is in real life, you are beyond reprehensible and you have no basis for making such repulsive comments about a woman you don’t know in real life. She is a TV presenter on Property Virgins and that is the persona you are seeing, and it’s unfair to base your opinion of her professional ethics in real life on that. Unless you have evidence or examples in REAL LIFE of Sandra behaving as a realtor in the manner that YOU (btw, this is your opinion only) deem inappropriate from the show, then every single one of your complaints on this site and others are completely unfounded.
The things you are complaining about are part of the basic premise of the show and these would not change regardless of whether Sandra or another realtor was the host. Having the clients go in by themselves, standing outside, the comments about what they think (which are VOICEOVER, btw), having them guess the price, taking them to a neighborhood well above their price range…these are all show-sanctioned and not Sandra’s doing on her own. Like I said, unless you know any of her real life clients and they say she does or has done these things, then you have no room to attribute them to her profession as a realtor because that is just her TV persona. In the beginning episodes, before she told them to go inside to get their own impressions. you could hear her sometimes say something like, “This is how it works,” which means this is how the SHOW works.
Also, Sandra is not taking any jobs away from a single American and I say this as one. If you had taken the time to do a little research on the show or read the stories of people who have been on it, you would see that when Sandra is in the US, she does not receive ANY commission. She only gets paid for doing the show. There are local realtors behind the scenes who are getting the commission and taking care of all the legalities. Sandra is not misrepresenting herself either. Have you ever heard her say when she’s in the US, “Let me get with my team?” BTW, once the credits roll at the end of the episodes, you can see the local realtors thanked, so they are getting acknowledged.
As for the comments about wanting to “punch her in the face,” “smash her face in,” etc., you seriously need to be locked up and you should be careful what you say because those comments could land you in some serious trouble. I do not get your level of vitriol for this woman. She does not deserve it. I could understand if she were someone like Perez Hilton, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, or Rush Limbaugh–whose goal is to smear and harm others–but she’s not. I believe she is a genuinely good person who tries to help people. If someone isn’t sugar-coating things, you want to label her as a bitch but my take on her TV persona is that she is blunt but nice, funny, caring, sassy, and incredibly smart. I’ve seen her comfort, reassure, and encourage several of the property virgins.
I saw a comment upthread that complained about Sandra reducing young clients to “tears.” If it’s the Cheryl Lou-Hing episode, you can clearly see Sandra put her hand on the girl’s arm once she starts crying and then she gives her a hug and you can hear her say, “I’m sorry” under her voiceover. So this shows you that Sandra does have a heart and did realize that perhaps she came across a little too strongly with her statements. But of course, you conveniently leave that out in your attempts to smear her reputation.
Sandra Rinomato is someone to be admired. She had very risky open heart surgery back in 2004, so for her to fully recover and take on the demands of doing a TV show (which is one of the highest ranked shows on HGTV) is amazing. She is a survivor, fighter, and inspiration to everyone. She also donates her time and money to various charities and organizations and has done so for many years, even before she was ever on TV.
So save your vitriol for someone who actually deserves it, not Sandra Rinomato.
And before you accuse me of it, no I am not related to Sandra nor do I work for the show. I am just someone smart enough to do my research before running off and attacking someone on the basis of ridiculous, hateful unfounded conclusions.

The comments made on this site make me cry and I think humanity has sunk to a new level. I’m a Real Estate Broker and I’m appalled at the mean, nasty comments of so called “people”. Sandra is with a top notched real estate company, she looks great, and it’s a TV show which is fairly close to how it goes…I love it and my husband who is a former real estate broker loves it too. Is there a comment section for all the goofy buyers that are her clients??

We all have a right to voice an opinion. I don’t like this bitch because she won’t reveal her age. Guess what whore? Nobody’s mistaking you for a 20yr old, just get over yourself.
Plus I don’t like sales people. The whole thing where she shows people what they CAN’T afford is so useless, wtf am I doing at this house? Bitch don’t waste my time! The last realtors my parents used kept showing us houses that they specifically didn’t want. Looking for 3 bedrooms? Here’s a lovely 2bedroom for you!!!! Want a big yard? What about an apartment? Ready to sign? **** sales people!!!!!
We watch House Hunters and bet oral on the wining

Yes I did see the episode where Sandra brought that young Asian woman to tears. The only reason she made a kind jester afterwards was to try and repair the damage and not because she has a kind heart. Get it right. She had no choice, what else could she do, just stand there? She was just trying to cover her ass.
I hate the show. She always takes people to these expensive neighborhoods first and tells them how retarded their expectations are. Sometimes she’ll tell the buyers the homes are already priced where they should be wouldn’t go any lower but buyers insisted and ended up getting the house for 15k less than the asking price. Oh yeah she’s a good realtor.
Worst of all this dumb whore’s clothes never fit right.

I agree, it’s better for people to have a place like this to vent their anger than to let it build up and handle it some other way.
I see nothing wrong in it.
The fact is, Sandra is very rude to her clients. Even if the show has a format to fallow she doesn’t have to come across the way she does.
I find her very offensive.
Cindy on January 10th, 2010 at 9:32 pm | Link
She is awesome! It’s a tv show folks. As a recent first-time home buyer, we realize this show is over-simplified but she does point out the common mistakes new homebuyers make, including us. For example, wanting too much for the price we can’t afford.
Why so much hate on her? If you don’t like the show, change the channel. geez.
Joe on January 10th, 2010 at 10:55 pm | Link
I really have to laugh at this blog.. the immature, bad language used for a television show which is nothing mor ethan entertainment. This takes me back to the study about Liberals vs. Conservatives. If a conservative wants to be a vegitarian, they do not eat meat, but if a liberal wants to be a vegetarian, then NO ONE SHOULD EAT MEAT.. wow.. Sandra spends her time with idiot children who have visions of glory but dont want to save or work hard to obtain that vision. She MUST get their focus back on track.. and the exercise of showing them houses they WANT but cannot AFFORD is a grouding experiece and will make them strive for more in their life. The concept is beautiful.. she executes it flawlessly.. Letting them walk through ALONE is the best way for them to form unbiased options.. not some spin from a seller wanting a comission.. the lessons are learned the hard way.. and letting the client find their way is the only way to reach peace.. The posts here are typical of the silver spooners.. turn the chanel if you dont like her or the show.. after all.. it is a show.. it si entertainment.. and the people on it choose to be on it..

Some of the comments here are just classic.
“It is pathetic the amount of hate we have in this country. Grow up, get some love in your heart and try to be a better person already.”
“As for the comments about wanting to “punch her in the face,” “smash her face in,” etc., you seriously need to be locked up and you should be careful what you say because those comments could land you in some serious trouble.”
Really? Wow, just wow. This is the internet people, it was ****ing designed for Trash Talk.
Fact is, Sandra Rinomato is (as others have said), an annoying, pushy, and rude realtor who really is putting commission in front of her clients. One episode, it seemed she was siding with the people selling the damn house rather than her own customers!
“They’re going for 680,000 and if you take the lowest price, then they might not deal with you at all in the future.”
But let’s face it, what real estate agents aren’t greedy slobs who show you their ‘best offer’ and tell you there’s nothing else, before finally asking you to raise the price again.
Some words for you Sandra. GTFO, bitch.
(she does have some great knockers though)
Jonathan on January 11th, 2010 at 7:30 pm | Link
I have read everyone of these reply’s with the exception of one that was more of a short story and obviously written by either an internet troll or personal friend of Sandra.
I’m neither a realtor nor a broker; just an ordinary guy who happened to see today’s episode and was moved to express an opinion. Like others I googled her name and found this site.
I can see from reading these posts and posts from other boards that there has been ongoing antagonistic response stemming back to Sandra’s first year on the show.
Therefore I don’t agree this is a one or two man show. I found this woman to be obnoxious, rude and haughtily arrogant.
My first impression if you will. If my realtor were to mimic even the slightest resemblance of Sandra Rinomato I would fire her on the spot.
I’m not buying into the “this is only a tv show” scenario as I found her to be rude, crude and socially unacceptable in any society.
Cindy on January 11th, 2010 at 7:44 pm | Link
Jonathan, my comment applies to you perfectly -GROW UP
Your arrogance and lack of class are sure winners with the ladies I’m sure
Creepy!
i just don’t see her rudeness, crudeness and as someone who is “socially unacceptable”. She says it straightforward. As a matter of fact, there are some buyers on the show that are unrealistic and have no clue on what they’re getting into. I’d rather have a straight-talking agent rather than someone who has no back-bone.
Joe on January 11th, 2010 at 8:06 pm | Link
I’m not related to, or employed in any way by Sandra -just a simple housewife in the NE….however, I don’t think anyone needs to be as rude as they are being towards her.
I think she is fabulous and you need to remember that this is a TV SHOW. They want her to act this part.
Different strokes for different folks -yes -but you don’t need to be so rude.
I’m sure her agents have better things to do than to review this silly site. And I’m sure Sandra would care less too. She is the one who has a successful career and is not wasting her time on petty websites -she is out making a life for herself!

Jonathan on January 11th, 2010 at 9:13 pm | Link
Yes I was appalled by what I just watched, so much so I was compelled to file a complaint.
The young home buyers must have told Sandra three times how much they wanted to spend on a home but they were continually shown or I should say pushed into 3 homes that were way above what they wanted to pay.
All the time being told not to focus on the asking price but what the monthly payment would be.
Unbelievable!
What kind of realtor is she?
Another thing I noticed is how she would criticize the home buyers if they happen not to like the house.
What Sandra doesn’t seem to get is that a home can have everything you asked for but still you just don’t like it. She needs to learn how to respect that.
You know I have purchased 22 homes in my years, mostly for investment purposes and I have never once been asked to guess the price or made to do a solo walk through without my agent.
I don’t know who came up with that concept but it’s diffidently not the way it works in the real world.
As far as her attire goes, she is way too chunky to be wearing those tight ass jeans. I’m sure she must be in her early 50’s and it just looks ridiculous.
Her teeth, common man get them fixed. Do you really think a big space between your teeth goes unnoticed? Think again.
This woman has to go. Too old, too ugly and too pushy!

have mixed reactions about this show. I think it is a good concept on paper, but the way it plays out is that it is almost as much about how the host uses passive aggressive criticism to “save the idiot newbies”. It’s almost like everyone except the people spending the money is in on a practical joke.
I find it funny watching Sandra become professionally threatened when a couple says they don’t believe a garage could be built on the lot and she says something like, “I’m telling you that there is enough room!”
She really sucks!

Debbie on January 15th, 2010 at 9:15 pm | Link
Thank you Debbie (the one who posted above me and likes Sandra)…thank you. I commented once a while back and have been getting the hateful comments ever since with some here and there that like Sandra AS WELL. It is sad to see that someone took the time to create this blog AND even more sad to see those who come on here to bash a successful relator who happens to have a TV show!! Who are you to judge her? # 1 and #2, are you better off than she is in life? If there is a justifiable reason to #1, please respond and I could honestly care less about #2.
I don’t judge people and I know I’m not as successful as she is and frankly, the way she deals with people who DECIDE to come onto the show - I’m not going to get my heart strung out over.
For those of you who are complaining about the gap between her teeth….seriously? There are actually some cultures in the world that think that is sexy on a woman AND the wider the gap, the sexier you are!
For those of you complaining about her clothes and how they fit….seriously? Is your body is better than hers? Do you feel your clothes fit your body better, please speak up. I would give money now to have a body like hers at her age - I’m 25!
Clearly the rest of you who complain about her condescending tone cannot handle the truth whether it is given to you on a silver platter or told to you the way Sandra does - to the point, direct and looking at a home the way a buyer should. Not buying a house becasue the wall paper is ugly is not a good reason to skip out on the house - THANK YOU SANDRA FOR ADVISING THESE IGNORANT VIRGINS. Not buying a house becasue the carpet is old is not a good reason to skip out on the house. THANK YOU SANDRA FOR ADVISING THESE IGNORANT VIRGINS. Not buying a house becasue it is across the street from a factory is a good reason to not buy a house becase the re-sale is dicey. THANK YOU SANDRA FOR ADVISING THESE IGNORANT VIRGINS.
At this point, the bashing and rude statements are pathetic and obviously told by people who have nothing better to do than watch a TV show and immediately turn around and go to their computer to find a website/blog such as this one to bash another human being (there is always a heavy flow of comments here after her shows air)…unfortunately I stumbled on this Website with a query of: “i love Sandra Rinomato.”

Wow,
I too googled sandra rinomato and got to this page. I am amazed of the comments about her. I think she is a good realtor but some of her comments to her clients are a bit over the top, and sorry but her tight fitting pants are not happening, only twice have I seen her in a skirt and she looked good. I like her show but like some of the people here on this site have said, I agree that at times she seems a bit rude and a bit crude. When my 2nd wife and I were shopping for a home in Texas about 7 years ago, she was nothing like Sandra, she was a good listener and she let us voice our opinions about each home; but then again, we all have our own personalities and Sandra is on TV so we all have our opinions about her.

There is nothing worse than a lousy actor trying to act. It’s like looking at someone with a bad hair piece. It makes you feel uncomfortable just to look at them.
Sandra Rino comes across as a phony and a fake. I would think Coldwell bank would have paid for a few acting lessons before putting her in front of the camera.
I was upstairs and I heard a very disturbing sound. At first I thought my kid were watching Alvin and the Chipmunks but to my surprise it was this overweight women wearing very tight jeans with a big gap between her teeth.
I was so disturbed with how she was talking to a potential buyer I decided to Google her and found this site. I can see she has quite a rep. I think she‘s a lousy realtor with a lousy disposition.

Oh I see, so it’s ok to create a blog to boost about who you think you are and ok if you watch a show then go to your computer to say how much you love the show but not ok to have an opinion to the contrary and want to express it. Like yourself for example.
Yes I do have a much better body than Sandra who is obviously going though some kind of a mid life crises. She has to be around 50 and to wear skin tight jeans on a plump over weight body just doesn’t work. She looks ridiculous.

I know it’s just a show but she should not put that kind of pressure on people. She really does need to go.
Larry on January 24th, 2010 at 4:57 pm | Link
It’s really too bad that some of these so-called “Rino Fans” (probably personal friends or co-workers) still don’t get the message.
I saw an episode where the Rino was closing in on the kill on an old beaten up house these two black ladies were looking at. They didn’t like anything about it and pretty much told the Rino to her face they could talk all night but it wasn’t going to change anything
These sisters had a very strong conviction and were not going to let no tight-ass-jean wearing Rino intimidate them into buying anything they didn’t like.
Rino Lesson number 1. Just because a house may physically have everything you are wanting there could still just be something about it you just don’t like.
End of the story. On to the next one.
But for the Rino she has to take a walk with one her crony camera men and trash talk the buyers refering to them as Typical Virgins. What an insult.
If you have apologized for a dirty kept house you’ve already aced yourself out of the sale.
If the seller won’t take the time to hire a professional cleaning company to come in and do a really thorough cleaning before an open house than that just tell you how they take care of the house under no pressure.
One more thing. With today’s HD TV’s I would strongly suggest that someone tell the Rino we can see every single ling that shows up around her lips and mouth. With the right expression she’s a dead ringer for the wicked witch or the west. Use a thicker past, use dirty-wall putty but do something about those age lines particularly around your lips and checks.
And do something about your teeth, you scaring my children, seriously. As you would say Rino, these are things you can change” loll!
On and by the way Rino, Know one is going to mistake you for a hot 30 or even 40 year old so why don’t know save money by some cloths the actually fit.
Then God willing you can get those teeth fixed or have a friend of your kid stick some soft wood between the gaps and then paint it a kind of yellowish cream color.

I too was one of the folks who went searching for a bio on Sandra because ::gasp:: I like her! I too have shows and personalities I don’t like, but it’s just a personal preference. To make grand claims about her competency without REALLY knowing what is going on is absurd. Really people, television is not real life. Do we really have to continually explain that?
So here goes: I get accused of being a personal friend or relation. Nope, just a dispatcher in the pacific northwest. But if you want to think of me that way, then I’ll think of all the critcs here as being the jealous realtors who got turned down for that hosting spot.

For those who talk about Sandra’s looks is every single modeling agency in the world knocking down your door to make a deal with you, if no then shut up. Some people need Sandra because they’re the type who will buy a $800,000 home and have a monthly salary of $3,000. And do you really think Sandra is making all of the decisions on the tv show? Come on people. Sandra is giving the buyers tough love and no-nonsense advice. I feel like the people on here are the one’s who don’t like for people to get in their asses about their egotistical bs. I rather have Sandra, a realtor who will be real with me then a realtor who keep their moputh shut and let me be housepoor.

She plays psychological mind games with her “clients.” They tell her what they can afford. She shows them 2 crappy houses at the low end of their budget that do not have the features they wanted and need a lot of work. Then she shows them their dream home, knowing they will fall in love with it. Only, its at least $100,000 over their budget! Then she tells them they can talk the sellers down, only to look aghast and disgusted when they do put in a lower offer. They eventually cave in and buy the house they can’t afford. I hate her. Yeah, she’s a “great” salesperson if great means evil and selfish.
D on January 25th, 2010 at 6:41 pm | Link
When she is showing them 2 crappy houses on the lower end of their budget she is showing them what kind of house on the lower end of their budget will get them amd furthermore a $300000 home in Toronto isn’t going to be the same as a $300000 home in Atlanta and even if they buy a home that is $100000 over their budget that doesn’t mean they will pay a high mortgage every month and sometimes those might be the only homes available and another thing one episode with crappy, unrealistic, superficial, snobbish buyers DOES NOT and I mean DOES NOT summarize every other show.

She is rude and condescending…a realtor shouldn’t be saying “how could you not like this hoouse” but shutting the eff up ad looking for something her clients want….not what she believes the client should have.

You think SHE’S overbearing? I suggest you watch all those OTHER “reality” shows with the ACTUAL overbearing, obnoxious hosts from the UK, like Simon on “American Idol,” Gordon on “Hell’s Kitchen,” and Anne on “The Weakest Link” (Anne is just petulant and snippy, actually).
Compared to these BRITISH WINDBAGS, Sandra is a teddy bear! Thank Sandra Rinomato, I say, for doing Canada proud!
And, to you nitpickers and naysayers, here — I say — is the proof in the pudding: I am a hater — a hater of HGTV, that is! My wife watches the channel nonstop, and all the shows and hosts seem to melt into one boring and repetitious morass. Mind you, even when those other shows get interesting, here come the effeminate gay interior decorators to totally repulse me from watching, and go to the other room to watch Clint Eastwood/Lee Van Cleef spaghetti Westerns.
Yet, I NEVER miss an episode of “Property Virgins”! My wife used to be surprised, but I think lately she’s caught on to my gaping at Sandra’s lovely breasts and figure. She SIZZZZZZZZZZZLES!!!!!

Holy crap people! It’s a television show!
Sandra Rinomato is playing a television show host! All these people on the show know what it’s about, it’s made for television.
Is there a place where I can list “My Biggest Complaint” about people who think television shows are like real life?

Get over yourselves. Everyone has different tastes and likes. Don’t watch if you are so replused by it. However, I notice that all you haters know a lot of details about the show.. makes me wonder if your hating is an outlet for some kind of personal frustration.
I think Sandra is great and has a tremendous personality and wish some of lazy agents I deal with were half as savvy as her. the show has a spefic format- guessing is part of the game and shows the fact that she’s dealing with “virgins”.
Sandra looks great as she is and proves that you don’t need some unrealistic barbie real estate agent with little inteligence (such as Kendra in my property’s worth what?) to bring in viewers.
We watch Sandra all the time from our home in Trinidad ( Caribbean)
I hope she never has to read these viscious personal attacks.
As for the other cities she practicies in - clealry you hater-fools miss the poret where she talks about getting back to her “team” to close any deals or get comparables in these cities. Clealry she works with a local agent. Makes me wonder who the bigger property virgin is — you haters or the ones on the show.

Marusha, Didn’t HGTV start in Canada? I could be wrong but I am thinking it might have. Anyway, personally, I like Sandra and sorry Mrs.Summers but no, I do not know her personally, nor am I a co worker. It time to face facts the woman has a fan base and a large one, else wise her show would dead in the water by now. You also have to look at how much air time she gets on HGTV. It is all about making money. Do you really think they would keep her on air out of pity? No way, they would cancel Property Virgins or replace her in a heartbeat if she was a liability.

Sandra is the worst realtor I have ever seen in my life.
Advising people not to pay any attention to the cost just as long as you can afford the monthly payment is absurd. I’m not sure how she gets away with this kind of practice. Just glad she’s not my realtor.
Mrs.Summers on February 4th, 2010 at 8:25 pm | Link
I am so glad I found this site so I too can have a forum to express my immense dislike for Sandra Rinomato. Forget about the fat lady in tight jeans or the beaver teeth I’m talking about the disloyal condescending attitude she has toward the buyers.
Anyone who watches the show for a few minutes will pick up on it. I sure hope the show gets cancelled or at the very least get someone in there who has a little respect.

I posted last month about the same person posting multiple times under different names. I knew it would just be a matter of time before they slipped up (as if we couldn’t tell by the writing style and vitriolic manner anyway). Check out the comment by “Mrs. Summers” that is immediately followed by someone supposedly named “Candis.” If you hover over both names, you will see the same web address linked…
To Mrs. Summers/Candis/98% of the hateful responses here, I still don’t know why you have such an intense hatred for this woman, but even despite being proven wrong about your assumptions of her, the show, and your attacks on her, you still rage on like a lunatic.
Seek help and take your meds.

How would you know she had serious heath problems unless you were a personal friend of hers?
There is nothing I can find on the internet to confirm she has any kind of serious medical problems whatsoever.
The only two I know of for sure is the unsightly gap between her teeth. And the lizard like deep wrinkles she has all around her mouth and eyes.
A little Botox may help that condition and I’m sure she can afford a dentist. Obviously she’s just too dumb to realize it or someone is feeding her a bunch of BS.
What bothers me even more than her munchkin like voice and rude condescending attitude is the way she tries to stuff all 150 pound of her tonnage into a size 2 pair of designer jeans.
Sorry to disappoint you Sandra but you’re not fooling anyone. There is something about being 50ish that no amount of makeup can hide and wearing overly tight jeans does not make you look thinner. The camera doesn’t lie.
As far as what the other poster said about 1 person coming up with all these complaints. I can sum it up in one line. “Not To Bright!”
All you have to do is search around the internet and you can see a wide range of complaints even on Sandra’s own blogs. I mean, there must be thousands of people that hate her cuts and they do have the right to say so.
I have posted here twice and have mistakenly not filled in my email address so by default it grabs the email address prior to yours so it can publish the complaint. It means nothing.
Try it yourself if you doubt me. This is a forum was created to provide a forum to complain so that’s what we do here. There are just as many forums at your disposal if you feel like sucking on her head.
It’s obvious to me Sandra has a few internet trolls trying to do some damage control. I may even be Sandra herself. LOL!
She has been exposed for what she is, I just hope Coldwell bank will take notice and cancel the show.

I love Sandra. She’s a great presenter, she’s very likeable, she’s gorgeous and she damn well knows her stuff about real estate. All you haters can just go **** yourselves and then your moms. Mkay?

I apologize in advance to the people who will end up seeing multiple comments from me, but I posted my comment over five hours ago and then reposted it and all I got was the “Your comment is awaiting moderation” message. I guess this is because of all the links I had that disputed “Mario’s” claims.
“How would you know she had serious heath problems unless you were a personal friend of hers?
There is nothing I can find on the internet to confirm she has any kind of serious medical problems whatsoever.”
Not Teresa but since you’re an idiot of epic proportions, I will answer this. If you had done ANY RESEARCH before running off at the mouth about Sandra, you would learn that many of the things you are saying are just plain false and you also would’ve seen info on her medical condition.
There is nothing on the internet to confirm that she has any type of serious health problems? You just revealed how ridiculously ignorant you are. A simple google search on Sandra would’ve brought up multiple pages.
For crying out loud, the woman has done a fundraiser for the past two years to raise money for Toronto General Hospital and the doctors who saved her life in efforts to “support research of two deadly diseases: heart failure and a lung condition called pulmonary hypertension.” You don’t have to be a “personal friend” of Sandra’s to know this, just someone who has a brain in their head and knows how to use a search engine. It appears you possess neither quality. Oh, and she also talks about having the open heart surgery and pulmonary hypertension in her book that she wrote, too.
From the Horse and Boogie (her fundraiser) website:
“Sandra Rinomato, Host of Property Virgins, Author of Realty Check, Realtor and Founder of the Horse&Boogie Fundraiser, credits the vision of this event to the work of Dr. R.J. Cusimano and Dr. John Granton, both esteemed doctors at Toronto General Hospital.
In June 2004, Dr. Cusimano saved her life by performing open-heart surgery with extraordinary expertise. She continues to receive top-notch ongoing care from Dr. Granton who controls her Pulmonary Hypertension allowing her to take up the challenges of juggling family, business and TV. “Without these doctors, the excellent staff at TGH, and the Canadian Health Care System I wouldn’t be here today,” claims Rinomato.”

Second part of my comment:
“Albert: Somewhere along your early days in real estate, you had a serious health issue. What was it, and are you now fully recovered?
Rinomato: I was born with a heart defect and it became a problem later on in life, causing an on-going lung issue. I had open heart surgery in 2004 at Toronto General Hospital. It was pretty touch and go. I can tell you that the surgery was risky and there was no guarantee that it was going to work. Had I not been under the excellent care of our Canadian health care system, I may not have been able to have the surgery and I would have died. The health care practitioners at TGH are excellent and I am eternally grateful to them for saving my life. I had a hard go of it with complications that were life threatening and the superior care they gave me saved me.”
remonline.com/home/?p=4258
And since you seem to have reading comprehension problems, even though she had the open heart surgery in 2004, she has expressed multiple times that the pulmonary hypertension is an ON-GOING condition that she still receives care for, and yes, it is a serious medical condition.
Hey, Mario, you can pretend to be any number of people but everyone knows you’re the same person attacking Sandra and posting under multiple names. You make the same attacks over and over on her appearance and your writing style is a dead giveaway. Surely you must have better things to do with your life than trolling the internet pretending to be multiple people who dislike Sandra. Sandra hasn’t been exposed for anything but being a hardworking, caring, intelligent, extremely skilled individual, but YOU have been exposed as someone with an ax to grind against her and who goes from site to site making the same horrid comments about her. If people do go to Sandra’s blogs or comment sections on other sites about her, they can see that the overwhelming amount of comments remain positive. You want there to be a sea of hatred against this woman because you are deadset on getting her fired and I hate to tell you this, but most people adore Sandra. Attacking her over and over again under multiple names isn’t going to change that. You can just look at her facebook and see that she has thousands of fans.
You can continue to post here and make a fool out of yourself or you can slink away quietly back into the hole from whence you came.
I had another link but I think these two are sufficient. If any of my prior comments finally get approved, then you’ll see it anyway. Or you can type “Sandra Rinomato” and “pulmonary hypertension” or “Sandra Rinomato” and “open heart surgery” in google and you’ll get several links that way.

Of course it is not her money so she never negotiates! Who needs an agent in that case, she never has to work for her commission. All offers are accepted because she never offers anything less than asking price. If these property virgins only knew they would bypass her. Sandra ((((hello)))) you work for your client, not the other way around!! As someone who has bought and sold many homes I would never hire Sandra, I don’t think she could handle not being ‘in charge’ and actually working for her commission.

Her mother said something about the noise and Sandra looked at her with a look that could kill and said in a very distasteful tone “the house doesn’t face the street!”
You really had to have seen and heard it to really feel the intensity of her voice. The Asian girl started to cry. I only wish it was me who was there. Those two front teeth would have a whole the size of a fist instead of a gap the size of a matchbook.

Dina, I thank you for your comment, but this is not a conspiracy theory. If you go to that blog, you will see that the last few hateful comments posted on this complaint site were copied and pasted from the comment section of that blog. Who is going to believe that within mere minutes of one another (12:38, 12:42, 12:45, and 12:55), all four of those people who had posted those exact same comments on another site MONTHS APART would come here en masse and post them word for word again? No one. Although I definitely agree with you that some people cannot tell real life from TV. If Sandra were truly an incompetent realtor (which she isn’t), then she would not have won the Stevie award for Best Canadian Entrepreneur in 2007 nor would she be a top 5% Coldwell Banker representative worldwide in real life.

Uhh first of all, Jonathan, STFU. This is a discussion post where people can discuss Sandra Rinomato. If you don’t have anything of value to add, go somewhere else. Or do the smart thing and take yourself off of this mailing list. Duh!
Secondly, most of you are either ridiculously jealous of Sandra and/or you are so stupid you don’t know anything beyond your little trailer park you call home. Sandra is wonderful. She can be harsh at times I imagine, but only to those ‘virgins’ who refuse to listen to her and don’t take her advice. Again, she has over 12 years experience at real estate. Before that she had her own business. Combine those two careers and you’ve got a woman who knows what she’s talking about. Real estate is Sandra’s speciality. I’m guessing most posters here have a speciality of flipping burgers for a living.
To sum it up: All you haters should just go on flipping your burgers and then suck on a donkey’s dick. You know you wanna. Go on.

I don’t like Sandra because she makes every effort to force someone to go over their budget. Most people who are pre-approved for a certain amount want to stay within that limit, so why is she adding their down payment. I would never want her to be my realtor and personally, how did she get a show? She doesn’t care about these people, all she sees is commission. Please, give this show to someone who isn’t trying to have more people fall into foreclosure. She is a terrible, terrible person

We own many properties, have many friends who are realtors, and are educated, professional people. First, the positives. I love the fact she lets them in first-very fair and private, the way I love to look at houses. Guessing the price is , at best, entertaining(can you say TV show). But I’m watching an episode now about a couple looking at a property near Toronto and there is a “train” in the backyard. When the wife mentions that is her setback-Sandra says”I’m not going to lie to you-the train is noisey”. Typical rocket science statement-but does it mean “I’ve lied to you before??” Almost always condescending-most important-tends to place people in the maximum they can afford if not over a comfortable budget. Some of these prices make me cringe. Can you say “HOUSE POOR”? Get the commission, get the commission-Show should not be called property virgins-should be “Realtor Sharks are us”! Seems to always force putting in offers because it’s a “real hot property”. If it’s property virgin, how about telling people about closing costs, mold in basements, old plumbing, and also the HOA fees are always minimized by Sandra-hello, that’s why so many condos are for sale, first time buyers are blowing thousands on HOAs and not realizing that beforehand. Sandra, if you really cared, help these people. The saddest thing about this show is the red faces these property virgins have when she puts down what they say. I really have to say she has a bully streak. She’s the kind of girl in high school that you dreaded to see coming down the hall because she was sure to insult you in some way or another. I never feel good after I watch the show. Just very nauseous.
Marilyn on February 8th, 2010 at 6:44 pm | Link
It’s amazing how many people feel Sandra the so-called realtor needs be called out on her unruly behavior.
I too have a problem with some of the sales tactics she uses to close a deal. From the phony phone calls from the other agents to the bully like approach. As far as I’m concerned there are no stupid questions when it comes to spending 100K plus on a house.
One episode in particular comes to mind when a couple had asked specifically for a house with a garage. Sandra shows them not one but two homes with “no” garage and then had the audacity to suggest they build for as little 10 grand.
When the wife expresses that the property didn’t seem big enough Sandra replies in a sharp and threatening tone “I’m telling you the property is big enough!”
There was another episode where the wife who was only about 5’ tall told Sandra that she didn’t like the house. Sandra then elevated herself on the balls of her foot staring down on the woman with a look that could kill and says “oh really.”
Even as the husband started to elaborate Sandra’s eyes stayed glued to his wife as if she was trying to stare her down. The camera then switched over to the woman and I’m telling you she looked petrified. Is this what you call a caring and wonderful realtor?
It just makes me wonder how she managed to stay on for 2 seasons. I do intend to write a strongly worded letter to Coldwell Bank regarding the multitude of what I call very unprofessional conduct.
I just started watching the show and realize some or most of these episodes are from last year or beyond but really don’t care. This woman needs to go.
So far I haven’t seen any 2010 episodes so maybe she’s already been fired.

.I can see I’ve already been beat to the punch here. Everything has already been said that I wanted to said myself.
I will just add a few opinions I have and would like to share.
Now I know this is only a TV show and under any other circumstances would not be taken so seriously.
The difference here is we the people are being asked to suffer through an absurd, pitiful and inadequate example of the realstate process.
I see no entertainment value in watching a women in her 50’s force unwanted intentions and play guessing games with the first time home buyers.
Sandra Rinomato manages to control and play upon the inexperienced home buyers by using unfair and insidious means only to her own advantage.
Her tactics are shrewd and cunning and it doesn’t take a genius to see through her little act. I too would like to write a letter to her Superiors and share with them the offensive taste she leaves in my mouth after each show.

OMG WHY DON’T YOU ALL SHUT UP ABOUT SANDRA … ITS GETTING SO OLD ABOUT YOU ALL RUNNING HER DOWN … WHAT YOU GOT NOTHING BETTER TO DO ???? GET A LIFE YOU WILL FEEL BETTER …AND IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE WAY SHE LOOKS OR HER VOICE OMG THEN DON’T WATCH HER

I don’t know what it is; there is just something about this woman that is really annoying.
With today’s HD TV’s you can’t hide much which is why a little cosmetic help can go a long way.
There is no excuse for unsightly wrinkles around your lips and eyes, huge gaps between your two front teeth or trying to stuff a large body into a tiny pair of jeans.
I mean common, either she just doesn’t care about her appearance or she surrounds herself with “yes” people who don’t have the balls to tell her the truth.
Hey Sandra, Get your damn teeth fixed, talk to your doctor about **** load of Botox injections and lose some weight!

I really enjoy the show and I do think Sandra really does a good job. I recently sold my house and wish I had known about this program before hand as it would have helped me immensely. There are so many “little” things that future owners look for - also I advise getting your own inspection prior to selling. Then it can be compared to the one the new future owners will show you - believe me, there could be a big difference as not all inspectors are honest. Also I had the city evaluation, my own evaluation and the future owner’s evaluation and all were different - especially the potential new owners… they had it evaluation way way below my two evaluations. Real Estate can be very tricky and I do think Sandra does an excellent job.

This site is hilarious… who cares if you do/don’t like her, agree/don’t agree with her. People watch the show for whatever reason, good or bad. Let’s get to the meat and potatoes of the matter though… she’s HOT, has great tits and that ass… you’re looking at a great ride with her. I, for one, applaud her in those pants but she should wear tighter shirts or even low cut… she’d probably sell more.
Hugh on February 14th, 2010 at 3:08 pm | Link
I’m okay with the fact that there are going to be poeple who both love and hate the show. The personal attacks are just childish. I would love to see how any you would fair on the (now defunk) Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency. The point is this is not a runway, and we all have physical attributes that others don’t find attractive. Get over it.
I find her to be professional and not condescending in the slightest. I find some of the people she deals with rather unreasonable and am repeatedly amazed at how she keeps her cool. I wish I had someone like her as my first real estate agent, for she would have taught me a lot more about the process.
I have no affiliation with the show, nor am I a personal friend of Sandra. Face it, she has plenty of fans too.
Michael on February 15th, 2010 at 7:27 pm | Link
After watching a few episodes I would have to agree that Sandra is very condescending and at times extremely rude to her clients.
If you can’t see that chances are you are also condescending and rude. I could care less about her looks and if she wants to look like a fool that’s her choice.
Jake on February 17th, 2010 at 11:18 am | Link
Personally, as a realtor myself, I think she is brilliant.
Firstly, she listens and responds well to what her clients needs and wants are. Secondly, she quickly establishes what is an acceptable/affordable price range for them. The reason she makes them guess isn’t to embarrass them, but to help them level-set their expectations, which can be EXTREMELY difficult with first time buyers. As far as being rude, I’ve seen several episodes where she is clearly biting her tongue, and yes, she can be assertive, but that’s exactly what you want in a realtor: someone who will fight for you.
Her success alone is proof of her qualities as a realtor.
Brice on February 17th, 2010 at 6:24 pm | Link
All you people making comments about her weight/appearance, etc.; I would love to see what your wife or girlfriend looks like. In terms of the show, it’s just that: a TV show. The majority of this show, like most “reality” shows, is staged. Do you really think any realtor is going to show a buyer only three houses and say “these are your only three options; take ‘em or leave ‘em”? They’re taking hours and hours of footage shot over weeks and sometimes months, and editing it down to 22 minutes. In regard to the way she talks to people, you do realize these are all people that have seen the show before and applied to be on it, right? It’s not like they started looking for a realtor and had the misfortune of “getting stuck” with Sandra.
Brian on February 18th, 2010 at 4:59 am | Link
wow, the administrator deleted my comment possibly because it was too pro Sandra, and no I do not work for her or the show nor am I related to her in any way.
Michael on February 18th, 2010 at 10:37 am | Link
are you people stupid? she is probably a legit realtor in real life but this is a tv show… you need to make people more interested than they should be. She makes them guess because it makes for better tv…she argues because it makes for better tv. your on this show because you want the end result…that “prize” they give you…otherwise you would just go with the best realtor not the most popular one.
Nick on February 19th, 2010 at 12:27 am | Link
You guys who are talking $hit about Sandra are LOSERS. To all you people who think she is rude and mean, you guys are a bunch of pussies. If you don’t like her realistic approach then watch something else. For all who talk about her weight and looks you are a bunch of immature a$$holes. I didn’t realize that you people were so frigen beautiful and model thin that you can talk $hit about others, grow up! If you don’t like her show, don’t turn it on. I personally love it and love the way she says “howse”.
Maryann on February 19th, 2010 at 12:39 am | Link
They say whatever you’re like in the real world will bleed through into your professional life at one time or another.
One poster made a comment suggesting that if you Sandra as much as you do than the probability of you sharing the same rude, condending bully type personality is very probable.
In general, people tend to like others that somehow remind them of themselves.
Just reading the shear multitude of disgruntled viewers not just on this site but several others leaves you with only one conclusion to be drawn.
Sandra has failed the emotional intelligence test big time. All these people can’t be imagining all this Drama. Sandra, you are a horrible realtor and a low class bitch .
Duane on February 20th, 2010 at 11:34 pm | Link
Dude, it’s like a game show, it’s not real life. I’m sure in most of these cases the house has already been purchased and the show is built around it. That’s how lots of other shows of this sort work.
Not that I’m a Sandra fan or anything. I like to see stupid people degraded. If you’re buying a ****ing house, do your research and know what you can afford before you start looking. Would you just show up at a Mercedes dealership with your 1987 Toyota Tercel as a trade-in and expect to drive away in a shiny new car? No, you’d figure out your price range first. Stupid people like the ones that are inevitably on this show deserve all the “humiliation” you think they get.
Besides, Sandra is a total MILF. Milkers win.
Justin on February 24th, 2010 at 10:48 am | Link
When a realtor meets you in a neighborhood they know you can’t afford and doesn’t tell you in advance that’s stupid. Making you guess the price of every property you see, that’s retarded. Insulting and arguing with you in front of the camera, that’s false pride.
Sandra is a phony and a terrible realtor.
Sandy on February 24th, 2010 at 6:21 pm | Link
Obviously Sandra generates a lot of passion, both good and bad. I am wondering why the folks who hate her watch the show. They must be drawn to her in the same way the folks who love her are drawn to her, which makes for FABULOUS TV, and super high ratings! She is on prime time M, W & F in my area and I look forward to watching every night!! For the “fans” that don’t get it, the entry into the first “mystery” neighborhood gives the viewers and home buyers an idea of what they are getting into in the buyer’s favorite neighborhood… in that area of the country where they are home searching. Sandra apparently asks the potential buyers to meet her in their favorite area to give them perspective into what they are getting into. She is helping them set expectations. Maybe the folks who hate Sandra should watch a few more shows to understand the flow of the show, which is VERY entertaining. My only wish is that Sandra takes the show on the road more often - USA & Europe - so we can see more than the Canadian housing market. She will have to get an international Realtor involved, but that would make for excellent TV as well.

Shirley Mohr on February 26th, 2010 at 2:07 am | Link
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Sandra. That’s pretty stupid to assume that it is her idea to ask everyone the price of the house, trying to humiliate them. Ever thought that maybe it was supposed to be that way to get the audience involved in the show? Also what is up with the spying comments? She doesn’t “spy”, she lets them go into the houses and then the comments are edited in… I agree she can be kind of rude at times but she’s just doing it to give her clients a reality check. That is SO much less annoying than the real estate agents who are fake and feel like they are trying to scam you.
Andy TX on February 27th, 2010 at 1:51 am | Link
I have never seen a more obnoxious and irritating woman in my life. I’m a new comer to HGTV network and saw the show for the first time last night. I just kept thinking about how repulsive this realtor was and decided to Google her.
I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised to see so many people feeling the same way my only question is why she’s still on the air. If my realtor spoke to me in her tone she would get a swift slap across her face.
They should start the show with a warning such as “some parts of this show may be disturbing to watch, parental guidance is advised”
Cathy on March 1st, 2010 at 1:24 pm | Link
She’s a little off-putting because she has her nose up in the air and acts as if first-time homebuyers are total idiots. Sometimes they are, but more often than not. I’m getting ready to buy my first place and I’ve researched things a lot so I feel a little insulted by her haughty ways. BUT other than that I really like the show.
Oh, one other thing that annoys me is that you never get to see the homes after the people have bought it and rearranged it, like in House Hunters.

Alison on March 3rd, 2010 at 9:29 am | Link
As an experienced homebuyer (of multiple homes), i would not use this Sandra realtor from “property virgins” if she was the last realtor on earth.
SHe is absolutely patronizing, demoralizing, manipulative (ie–having the homebuyers essentially “fall in love” with the home before she “pops” the price on them).
A realtor should have all the details on a home available for the buyer before they even step foot inside a prospective home. And yes the PRICE should be part of those MLS details given to the buyer.
The fact that she takes “Property Virgins” on “Tour” of more expensive homes first (even when its beyond their bank approval) as a tactic to “warming up” the buyers to spend close to or exactly the amount they are approved for, is downright obscene.
If i am approved for $500K and want to spend no more than 300K i shouldn’t have to deal with manipulative games from my realtor in order to bring me closer to spending 500K so that she can get a fatter commission check.
Some realtors play this game in order to get the most they can in commission for themselves. It’s so sad that “property virgins” are oblivious to that fact.
jackie on March 3rd, 2010 at 10:33 am | Link
Jackie: Right on! Sandra Rinomato is obnoxious. She frequently gets the stooges to say the maximum they would bid on the house, and then magically that’s the price she comes back with. She has clearly violated her agreement to keep that information confidential.
HGTV tapes her when she’s negotiating, and they almost certainly have her recorded breaking real estate regulations. I wish she’d get busted. She’s offensive.
If anything, get her to show you houses just to waste her time. I’d love to see her on a show called, “Property Veterans”. I’d like to see her pull her pressure tactics on someone with some experience.
Brian on March 3rd, 2010 at 10:36 am | Link
I like the show but, Sandra’s condescending and talks down to her clients over and over again. I just watched an episode with the firefighter and his wife looking for a home in Dallas/Fort Worth. She has to the nerve to make a comment about how much money they can afford, saying, “oh we’ll look at the homes you are willing to spend your money on…oh I mean how much you ARE ABLE spend”. Okay it doesn’t sound as bad as reading what I just typed, but the way she said it on the show was rude. I think the show would be better without this lady. There was also an episode with the young Asian girl and her mother. Could Sandra have been any more rude or stereotypical? People come from different cultures. So what if Asian folks are superstitious. I’m sure there’s many things Canadians do that are different from other cultures. Rolling her eyes, making the girl cry? Come on, lady. Karma will come knocking on your door

One thing I find strange, I googled “Sandra Rinomato” about two weeks ago and this site was the first hit. That same search today brings up her her own site first and this one isnt even on the first page.
dtek on March 3rd, 2010 at 7:10 pm | Link
I have never bought a house and I am far from clueless. She is NOT an economist & demonstrates she knows nothing about the fundamentals that determine what house prices should be in an area. Sandra IS the clueless one. The housing market has become one big ponzi scheme and prices with fall back in line with incomes. She tries to push people into these overpriced homes without even looking what will happen to the economy in the future. Only about one quarter of people can really afford a home over 200k, so it is not delusional to expect more than a crap box when you are paying that or more. She is still living in 2005 and is in denial of the currently housing situation.
Derik on March 3rd, 2010 at 8:50 pm | Link
I also feel Sandra is not doing her work well. she is unfriendly, and she never wants to hear anything negative about the houses she shows, seems like. She seems to also expect all positive comments only and that is just too much
Al on March 3rd, 2010 at 8:55 pm | Link
I am firmly on the side of those who find Sandra Rinomato offensive. She really is a one-trick pony. From the first moment, she throws questions at these usually young and somewhat clueless buyers. “What do you think of this?” “What do you think the price is?”, etc., ad nauseum. As the poster above pointed out, if a buyer turns it around and asks her outright what the price is, she just refuses to tell them until they guess. And if you watch her face carefully, you will see very subtle and brief looks of anger cross her face when the buyers aren’t playing her way.
Just yuck. She is an unpleasant, fake, and very pushy saleswoman. Buyers beware!
Brook on March 3rd, 2010 at 8:56 pm | Link
Why can’t people just understand that she’s probably not like that at all in real life. It’s TV ****heads. They came up with a show that targets a specific demographic (people who like to see clueless people buy their first house), they found Sandra, and she plays her part every episode. Reality TV isn’t really real, so please, go watch American Idol or whatever you fap to and stop acting like TV is an accurate depiction of people’s personalities.
Justin on March 4th, 2010 at 7:29 am | Link
I do have to say, it is quite interesting the way the Canadians say the word “obout”, to where it sounds like “aboat”, to us in the States.
As fun and interesting it is to watch, it is very hard to understand the way it is taped. For instance, when the home buyers wait for a call from her and the camera is always right there when the call comes in (lol). And on the other end, there she is in her car making the call. Or other times when they may be walking down a street and get a call from her and the next scene may show her at her desk. It’s obviously staged and when they attempt to tie it all together the entire show falls way short of the realism they are trying to project. Someone above said something about looking at Sandra was like looking at a man with a bad hair piece. I thought that was hilarious but truly I get that same feeling when I see these unlikely scenarios’ unfold.

And then the tight jeans, she has way too much flab to make that work for her. Worst off is her style. No class whatsoever!

shadow on March 10th, 2010 at 11:39 pm | Link
Wow, I was looking up more info on this show, but managed to find myself eyeing and idiot’s convention of catty proportions instead! Are you people serious? It’s called television, for one; all of the shows on HGTV and others are rehearsed, and the producers are usually telling the presenters how to act and what to say.
Secondly, if you dislike it so much, then why do you bother watching it to the point of getting riled up enough as to go ranting on the internet about it? Over-sensitive much?
What’s wrong with her trying to educate people through getting them to do that thing called thinking? Ever try it? Teachers do it daily in everyday educational settings, pointedly give students something to give their opinions about, to think about, before correcting them first. Her having them guess the prices and taking them to overpriced locations is to educate them and give a reality check, which clearly many of the people on the show with such high expectations need.
Who seriously thinks that a home and garden channel needs to have anything but average-looking people, and has to feel the need to rag about a person who is just that–average looking? People with low self-esteem, that’s who, and one’s who are likely just as average at best. It’s a pretty sad world when people rag on the looks of a freaking real estate agent. This isn’t Hollywood, people.
Clearly the woman’s doing something right if you all are still watching the show. Or maybe you just like to have something to complain about on a daily basis? Get a life.

@Shadow
I have absolutely noticed that as well. She cant even hide it in her face. She seems totally profit driven to me, always trying to negotiate the highest she thinks her clients will pay, usually over the asking amount because of some percieved “hotness” of the property.
I watched an episode where a couple had flown to the US I think to buy a house, put in an offer, and had not heard back before they were headed home. She advised them at that point to submit another offer with their absolute top price, which they did. Is that really sound advice seeing as how the seller had not responsed yet? I dont know, but to me its not. There were not even other offers on the property that I was aware of.
Im closing on my first house in 4 weeks and if I had a realtor like this to begin with, im not sure I would be where I am today.

I usually don’t go through the bother of complaining about a TV personality but in this case I must make an exception. I’m new to the HGTV network and I’m aware that these episodes are old but I have never seen more obnoxious women in my life.
Sandra Rinomato goes through a great amount of effort to make this show about her instead of the first time home buyer. I find her gimmicks to be self indulging and childlike.
She doesn’t do a very good job of disguising her bitchy attitude behind a face full of phony smiles angry laughs. I don’t even have to mention the tight jeans on a 50 year old overweight woman syndrome.
Seriously, really? Hasn’t anyone told her she has a bad case of thunder thighs? I’m embarrassed for her.
What was HGTV thinking? Sandra Rinomato is the worst realtor I’ve ever seen.
Kim on March 17th, 2010 at 6:38 pm | Link
I really find most of these comments appalling. I met Sandra today at the Orlando Home & Garden show. She looks fantastic. She is much thinner than how she looks on TV. She is a very interesting and knowledgeable person who gave very honest and ‘on the mark’ advice. While signing autographs, she took the time to talk with each person.
So for all you hatemongers out there, get over it and get a life. If you don’t like a show or its host..DON’T WATCH.
To Sandra…keep up the good work ! I think you are doing a great job especially with some of the idiot couples you have to deal with on the show who apparently want a designer home at a bargain basement price and budget.

Thank you Francesca for sharing that with us. The rest of the haters on this page are just pissed off because their trailer is falling apart and they were unable to get anything for the beat up pick up in their driveway at the salvage yard along with the rest of the lawn mowers scattered about their property. P.S. The were trying to save money for some dentures.
Just as you described Sandra, is how I imagined her to be in person. When I buy a house, I will make sure she is there to help me.

Thank goodness I haven’t seen but 1 new episode for 2010. I can only hope the show has been cancelled. I too met Sandra Rionmato in a public arena. Duh! Are you that dull as to think she is really going to show her ugly face in a setting like that?
I’m sure she was acting it up. Shame on you for being so airheaded as to think you were seeing the bitchy, pushy and ugly demeanor she displays on her show.
I have serious doubts your so-called encounter even happened. When I met her it was in Florida where she has her second home. They were shooting the scene where Sandra tells the couple they are **** out of luck and don’t make enough money to buy a home on that street.
Off camera she was twice the bitch you see on TV. She was arrogant, fat and self serving. Oh I forgot to mention “old.” Goodbye Sandra, don’t forget to close the door.
Steven on March 22nd, 2010 at 11:01 am | Link
Well said my man! Set the story straight on this bitch. I would like to add one more thought. Sandra has to realize from the groundswell of criticism she has received about her weight that something had to change. Trying to look like a young woman in her 20’s wasn’t working.
The internet is flooded with people who were appalled by her shocking appearance. Whatever she may have lost I’m sure will reappear 10 fold within a year.
Cheers

“I’m sure she was acting it up. Shame on you for being so airheaded as to think you were seeing the bitchy, pushy and ugly demeanor she displays on her show.”
Steven you’re my new favorite idiot! I found this blog and just read the last few comments. I don’t really like Sandra, but you seem convinced that her character on TV is the real her and the person she is off camera in person is an act? Maybe when you reread that you’ll realize how effin stupid you sound.
Nice tits, horrible everything else. I do like that she reality checks the nubs that make $40,000/year and think they can buy in a $600,000 neighborhood. Do your homework before you waste a realtor’s time and I guarantee they won’t treat you like that.
Lolzer on March 23rd, 2010 at 10:04 am | Link
Yes I’m saying she is every bit the bitch in real live as she portrays on TV. Sandra is no artist and can’t act to save her live. Therefore she has no choice but to be herself. That being said all you have to do is study her facial expressions and body language to grasp the nature of my comments. I know this must be over your head but for those who do have the intelligence to understand what I’m saying I will gladly reiterate. Sandra is the same bitch in real life as she is on TV.
Steven on March 23rd, 2010 at 6:10 pm | Link
It must be totally over my head, I’m not half the genius you are. I mean look at how eloquently you speak - “she’s a bitch.”

I have never bought a house and I am far from clueless. She is NOT an economist & demonstrates she knows nothing about the fundamentals that determine what house prices should be in an area. Sandra IS the clueless one.
The housing market has become one big ponzi scheme and prices with fall back in line with incomes. She tries to push people into these overpriced homes without even looking what will happen to the economy in the future.
Only about one quarter of people can really afford a home over 200k, so it is not delusional to expect more than a crap box when you are paying that or more. She is still living in 2005 and is in denial of the currently housing situation.

Reading these comments is almost (I said ALMOST) as intereting as watching Sandra bounce her jugs around on her show. A bit scary, however, to see how many people don’t understand the difference between life and television — or maybe its me — missing out on a truly indepth TV experience.
For those of you who find the Canadian accent as annoying as I do, how about we set up an educational fund to send someone to Canada to teach them how to say house?

I could only read so much of this **** before having to respond. I am a real estate agent myself, and I am very good at what I do. Regardless, it must be said that earning a living as a real estate agent is one of the most difficult pursuits that anyone can make. Why? Well reading a lot of the negative comments on this site pretty much explains it.
Most buyers (first time buyers especially) are completely ignorant and clueless as to the process or the realities of the market that they are in - and that’s fine - but what is annoying are the buyers who know nothing, but don’t realize it or won’t admit it. To be a successful real estate agent and not go completely broke, you must firmly direct people who have no idea what they want or what they can realistically afford. Trust me…I learned this quickly upon entering the business, and there are a lot of time wasters in the real estate business. If you don’t manage them, they will manage you and effectively put you out of business!
Some people think a real estate agent is there to show you as many houses as you want - spending valuable time and gas money ferrying you around town all day long to look at 25 or more houses so you can find the “perfect” house that simply does not exist. The agent who does this is not doing the job of a professional agent, but is simply being a chauffeur who can unlock doors. Some buyers don’t know the difference. Such agents are not in business long after working 10 hour days for weeks at a time with no pay.
Early on I discovered that such people need to be managed. After all, I am the expert who is there to lend my market expertise so that my buyer clients can save time and not have to look at umpteen million homes. After educating them as to the realities of the market and getting a detailed sense of who they are, their lifestyle, what they can afford through a detailed consultation, I will prepare the very best 8 houses for the money currently in the market that fits their profile based upon this interview. I will not show more than 8 houses to a customer barring any exceptional circumstances. Experience has shown me that any more than that, and people just start getting confused - every time.
Sandra does an EXCELLENT job doing this, and to all of you haters out there, she is wildly successful, and makes a lot of money matching people with the best house for their needs and wants. Why work with an agent if you will not heed their knowledge and expertise? To those of you who say that her methods infuriate you? Too bad. The methods work and are efficient. There are many bad customers out there in the world of real estate - I have no problem firing clients who do not want to take my advice or trust in my hard earned expertise. Go find another agent who will happily drive you all over the city looking at 25, 35, or even 45 houses - but hurry - they won’t be in business long!
Tom on April 1st, 2010 at 12:46 pm | Link
I see the same deranged moron is still here posting under multiple names and spreading lies. You’ve been at this for months! Do you have nothing better to do?
The show has not been cancelled, “Eddie.” Sandra said they were filming in Fort Lauderdale and San Diego this season. The new season just has not started yet, you idiot. She also mentioned doing an NYC promo, so they will probably be filming there as well.
You also know nothing about Sandra, so stop making comments about her body that you have no way of confirming. Oh, and learn to spell–”rinkled” is incorrect. As a woman, I can tell you that I highly doubt her breasts are fake, but what business of it is yours anyway?
Seriously, what joy do you get out of spreading tons of negative comments about Sandra and just flat out lies? I know you would love to see this show cancelled, but it hasn’t been. Most people love Sandra; you can see from the vast number of fans she has on Facebook. Only you and a few others are spreading so much hate against this woman and contrary to popular belief, HGTV doesn’t care what a small, vitriolic minority thinks when the overwhelming sentiments about the show AND Sandra are positive. Your posting under multiple names isn’t fooling anyone and you’ve been called out on this several times when you slipped up in the past.
Get your facts straight on April 1st, 2010 at 6:15 pm | Link
First of all, the show has NOT been cancelled. “Eddie” stop spreading rumours that are pure bull****. You and the “other people” (i.e. your other personalities) who continually disrespect Sandra and say she knows nothing about real estate are absolutely ****ing delusional. Sandra has been in the business for over a decade and is obviously a very successful business woman. Why else would she be fronting a tv show about real estate if she wasn’t? For god sakes, the woman ran her own coffee shop business prior to ever getting into real estate. AND, there are even comments here from ACTUAL REALTORS who say that Sandra does her job very well and that the first time buyers are generally like how they’re portrayed on the show: they know nothing about real estate, so therefore, it might be exasperating for the realtor in going about showing them how the real estate world works. All the “people” here who think Sandra is terrible at her job need to actually do their homework on her, the show AND her ACTUAL job before making such horrible comments about how it works.
Second of all, those “people” who always make such incredibly demeaning comments about her looks/body/personality just blow my mind. All of those comments are just so vile and I really hope Sandra never sees them. Regardless of how you feel about the show, judging someone by their looks or personality is an entirely different matter. If you know the person, then fine, judge all you want. However, none of you know Sandra personally. I don’t know her either, but I am more than willing to accept her and like her for what I see. To me she is a smart, beautiful, funny, kind woman. And these comments about her breasts. I am disgusted. I am a woman and I would never refer to another woman’s breasts as “jugs.” Again, I come back to a comment made by “Eddie” - “her boobs are fake, old and rinkled” - learn to spell before you attack someone, please. My point: I highly doubt her boobs are fake. They have way too much bounce and they do tend to sag a little, which is very natural for a woman her age. And it is very possible she uses push up bras. Lots of women do, but I also highly doubt you’d know anything about that…
Sandra fan on April 1st, 2010 at 7:04 pm | Link
I couldn’t agree more with the original poster. The whole concept of her meeting clients in a neighborhood they like and then smiles like an idiot while she dashes their hopes of being able to live there because they can’t afford it. Who does that?? To start off a relationship with an effort to embarrass your potential buyers in order to make yourself look intelligent? Why is she showing properties in the U.S. when she knows nothing about all the neighborhoods in various states that she is taking them to? I just heard her tell a client in Florida that the clay tile roof on their home would be good for about 20 years or so, WRONG!! They usually outlast the homeowner! She’s also way off on her estimates to replace things in the kitchen & bathrooms, lowballing the cost to the point of being ridiculous.
Couldn’t HGTV find a more appealing salesperson? She may do well in Canada, so why not keep her there and let the salespeople in the various areas in the U.S. sell the homes where the clients are looking. I wouldn’t want to buy a home from a realtor who did not know the area where I was looking to buy. It’s too big of a purchase to let just anyone sell you a home.
Please, HGTV, replace Sandra in the U.S.!

Some of you need to get a grip. It’s a tv show and has little to do with how people really buy homes. If you have a problem with the shows format ( stupid intro at overpriced neighborhoods) well try to get the producers replaced not Sandra. She’s purely a figurehead/hostess..do you really think she’s licensed to sell real estate in every city/state she visits ? It boggles my mind how some of you think all of this is “real”. Now I can understand if some people don’t like her but just say that and don’t try to blame the shows format/direction on her when she has no control over it.
Tv is not real…..there is so much going on behind the scenes to do this show it would boggle your mind. Its so funny you people think Sandra shows up and is the only person involved in researching and showing houses and generating estimates for repairs etc….get a grip…Thats like wanting to fire a game show host because you don’t like the games they are playing.

“Tv is not real…..there is so much going on behind the scenes to do this show it would boggle your mind. Its so funny you people think Sandra shows up and is the only person involved in researching and showing houses and generating estimates for repairs etc….get a grip…”
Exactly. This is because some people refuse to do their research before going off on how much they hate someone.
” She may do well in Canada, so why not keep her there and let the salespeople in the various areas in the U.S. sell the homes where the clients are looking. I wouldn’t want to buy a home from a realtor who did not know the area where I was looking to buy.”
You do realize this is tv, right? It’s been said multiple times before but bears repeating in this constant sea of ignorance and negativity–THERE ARE LOCAL REALTORS WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES WHEN SANDRA IS IN THE US. Sandra isn’t getting any commission and the actual realtors from the particular area are receiving the commission and doing most of the showing. I think I said in my very first post on this site that if you pay attention to when the credits roll at the end, you can see the local realtors thanked.
Here is a post from Television without Pity where an actual property virgin talked about her experience on the show. It’s also been said by other property virgins. Since the episode recently aired about the woman who was struck by lightning, I’m sure some of you will be familiar with this person. Her TWoP name is foster729.

“I am a “Virgin” (that they so lovingly call their participants) that was filmed this past weekend in Washington, DC for a show to be aired for the 3rd season. It was a long 3 days of filming, and now I have about 6 weeks to get details in line for when they come back to film the ending. I do have to say that Sandra is even cooler in person than she is on tv. The crew and the host were all SO nice and fun, and they made the process a lot easier for me and my friend. They really care about what you want in a house. The only problem is that I felt like they were turning it into too much of a “human interest” story in my back story because of an accident I had last year, but hopefully that part won’t be that long on the show. I am buying the house on my own, with a budget of about $500k, and unfortunately they wouldn’t let me do it alone, so I had to have a friend be filmed with me. Although it was a lot of work on both of our parts, I’m so glad I did it. I just wish that they would give an incentive like other shows do, like maybe a bit of money or something for one of the rooms of the new house!!
But, if anyone has any questions about the show, let me know and I’ll see if I could answer them!!”

“I’m definitely glad I got a bigger place- there is NO way my stuff would have fit in the others I was shown. And you know what else? My closets are filled to the brim! It is comfortable, though, and it’s a great place to live with my 2 kittens and my new fiance, whom I met around the same time as the filming was going on.
I just wish I had been a lot thinner for the show- it was scary to see myself like that!!!! And yes, it was weird to talk about my accident. They kept wanting me to talk about it, but I’m not horribly comfortable with that. But overall, Sandra was super nice and the crew was even better. I just hope I didn’t make a fool out of myself!!!!!”
On the same page, someone asked her, “When you are on the show did they have a local agent working with Sandra that was really your agent? I have always wondered about Sandra selling homes all over the country.”
Foster729 responded:
Feb 25, 2009 @ 3:39 pm

“Yeah… it wasn’t very clear that I wouldn’t receive anything when I signed up. And it’s not like I wanted a lot of money or a room decorated or something, but a little help would have been nice. I signed up because it seemed like I would have knowledgeable people guiding me through the process. But, since Sandra was only in town for a few days and isn’t licensed in the US anyways, 95% of the work was done behind the scenes with a local realtor.
And yes, it was in that bar where we had the party! We went back to the dart room and it was so much fun. That was my local bar at the time, so it was all very comfortable. It’s only a 10-minute drive from where I am now and I go back there every once in awhile (it’s called Ireland’s Four Courts in the Cleveland Park neighborhood) for their pub quiz or just to have dinner.
On another note, I may have mentioned this before, but if not, I’ll say something about my DC realtor. When I met him and we began talking and getting to know each other, he mentioned that he has a record of single people buying from him and then they meet someone and get married. It’s all a big coincidence, but still. I remember saying something to the effect of hoping it happens to me as well. And it did! Again, I’m sure it was a coincidence, but this guy sure has a track record! I’ll tell all my single friends to buy through him and then they’ll meet someone!”

“I was the person that was filmed… the process was long, but great. True, they do show me a couple of places based on my specifications, but the third was one I previously picked out. Believe me, the process is so long that you can choose between many options! It only shows 3 for the camera. It should be airing early next year- keep your eyes peeled!!!
And yes, Sandra is super cool. I was scared meeting her at first, because her persona on tv is quite… snarky. But she is funny and very nice. The crew was excellent too- after this shot was completed, they bought me and my friends drinks for the night at the Four Fields and we proceeded to film our drunken escapades!!!”

People have every right to like or dislike someone. But if you’re going to dislike someone, do it based on facts and not completely faulty assumptions.
For those haters who think this post is too long and will skim to the very end, this is the most important part by the person who was actually ON the show:
“But, since Sandra was only in town for a few days and isn’t licensed in the US anyways, 95% of the work was done behind the scenes with a local realtor.”
You’ll also notice that she said that she was afraid of meeting Sandra because she thought her TV persona was too snarky, but that Sandra is actually very nice in person, so it’s not like she went in there falling at her feet in praise.
Now, you can go back to your regularly scheduled whining, but this time do it based on FACTS.

Watched last night, forget now which state, but in the US. So, the couple had seen a few (3) houses, but she comes to them to let them know that a comparable property was just put on the market at a lower price that was a short sale. She convinced them to put an offer (higher than list) on the property with OUT EVEN SEEING IT.
Their offer was accepted, and she came back to them with “congratulations, you bought a house!” - okay…needs bank approval…short sale…they haven’t even seen the house… HELP ME!

To the fake: “Get your facts straight on April 3rd, 2010 at 10:30 am on April 3rd, 2010 at 11:26 pm ”
Stop spreading lies and trying to discredit others. Also, stop posting under my username and other legitimate posters’ chosen handle in order to create confusion, doubt, and division. I am the REAL “get your facts straight” who posted yesterday on April 3rd, 2010 at 10:00 am in order to show that when Sandra is in the US, there are local realtors working behind the scenes and doing the majority of the work and that Sandra is not receiving any commission or taking their jobs. You slipped up when writing the handle…as you have done several times before. You notice there are two times in there, right? Real posters have just one…
“Most if not all of these so-called Sandra lovers have made back door deals to post there nonsense or they are on the Rino Staff.”
Are you serious? Do you realize how incredibly stupid you sound? Anyone can find this blog through a google search and see the idiotic vitriol and utter crap you continue to spew. It’s not some “back door deal” to come on here and dispute outright lies about Sandra Rinomato. It’s human decency. “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”–Edmund Burke
Whenever someone (like myself or others) posts FACTS to disprove your nonsense, all you do is come up with more vitriol and use underhanded tactics in order to try to undermine what we’ve said. You fail. You also post more and more lies and ignore said facts, even though every single time you do this, I provide several links to back myself up. Where are yours? That’s right, you have no links to back yourself up because all you do is post under multiple usernames, impersonate others and spread lies. All your drivel is nothing more than the machinations of a sick mind and the utterances of a fool who is so obsessed with Sandra Rinomato that he will try to do anything in his futile little power to destroy her and her reputation.
I’m not Sandra’s friend, I’m not on the Property Virgins staff. I just have enough sense to use GOOGLE to easily research things about the show.
“I’m sure the Rino reads these posts because I personally forward them to her on a regular basic.”
Then I hope that she blocks your emails and has you arrested for harassing and stalking her. Seriously, you are dangerous and you have taken this WAY too far. It’s one thing to not like someone, but you are on a personal rampage to try to ruin her reputation, her life, and her career. I hope the owner of this site has your IP address and that you are reported to the authorities. Your obsession with her is seriously scary and you most definitely need professional psychiatric help if you are going this far.
“I have heard from someone close inside that the Rino has had it with all the internet criticism and is ready to hang it up. Because her bad rep is a reflection on Coldwell Bank and they are ready to vote her off for good.”
The only one you heard this from was one of the deranged voices in your head. Stop kidding yourself and stop the lies and defamation of character. I doubt someone as successful as Sandra gives a **** what morons like you say about her on the internet and Sandra already said on her facebook that they were filming this season in San Diego and Fort Lauderdale, and she also posted pics from an NYC promo. She has stated she’s not going anywhere.
“Rinomato: I thought I was going to semi-retire from TV this coming spring, but the show is going strong and the network wants more episodes. It is in the top three line-up consistently. So for now, I am going to continue being a TV presenter, and keep my foot in the door with my true love, real estate, and see where the road takes me. So far, it’s been a road full of surprises and I can’t even guess what would be ahead.”
www.remonline.com/home/?p=4258
That article was posted Dec. 14, 2009. Sandra also regularly updates her facebook fan page.
That’s from the same article that I posted the other month or so that proved that Sandra had serious health problems when you accused people of having to be a close “friend” of hers to know this, when there were SEVERAL sources on the internet (including links to her annual fundraiser for pulmonary hypertension and heart failure) that would’ve shown anyone with a brain this.
BTW, before you get too excited, Sandra talked about how the hardest part of her job is the travel because she has a family and business and wants to be home. So if she was thinking about “semi-retiring” earlier (and she’s already changed her mind anyway), it’s because she wants to be at home with her family and not because she’s scared of the lies and criticism idiots like you spread about her on the ‘net.
Sandra has a successful real estate business and has had it for years, even before Property Virgins ever started. Coldwell Banker is not getting rid of one of their top realtors. The majority of comments about Sandra have been positive and you posting over and over again under multiple names isn’t going to change that. You are STILL in the minority and you have ABSOLUTELY NO PROOF that Sandra’s real life business persona is anything like what you perceive her TV persona to be, so her job with Coldwell Banker is safe. She won the Stevie Award for Best Canadian Entrepreneur in 2007 for a reason. So you can take your fantasies of her getting canned from Coldwell Banker and Property Virgins and shove them where the sun doesn’t shine.

In one case, this idiot posted the exact same rant as Ken AND Susan.

When I saw that the tool tried to fake post as me and that there were two times in the handle (including a fake time), I also knew he had probably posted under your handle because in that one, the date was listed TWICE. “Lolzer on April 4th, 2010 on April 4th, 2010 at 11:48 am”
He just is not clever, he is very transparent, and he has a habit of talking to and agreeing with himself in order to make people think there are more negative comments than there actually are. With his track record and ridiculous style, I’d wager a guess that a good 95% or more of negative “complaints” are from him. He’s like a burglar who would be stupid enough to wear a t-shirt with his name on it and then go rob someone’s house.

To the person above directly above me - ‘The REAL “get your facts straight” on April 5th, 2010 at 11:15′ - SWEET JESUS STOP POSING AS PREVIOUS POSTERS. You are not going to prove your absurd Sandra-hating theory by doing so. You don’t like her - I get it. But do you honestly think that coming back and saying the same stuff over and over and over again, meanwhile posting as “Get Your Facts Straight” (someone who has repeatedly leapt to Sandra’s defense when you have repeatedly attacked her) is gonna fly? You thought wrong.
You are nothing but a stupid lowlife who probably lives in his parents basement & gets off on picking on Sandra. Probably because you know she is far too busy to actually respond to you. I’m half tempted to actually email this site to her and outline all the rotten and vile things you have said about her. However, I have a conscience & I’d hate for Sandra to actually see all these deplorable things you have said.

I have never seen someone so stupid IN MY LIFE. You keep trying to pose as me and others and you think people are too stupid to see you posting FAKE TIMES and/or the dates twice in the Name field (as in the case of your fake Lolzer post). Are you such animbecile that you don’t realize that you can’t fake the time and the date here because it will just show up before the real date/time?
JUST.GIVE.IT.UP. I know you are doing this to cast doubts on legitimate posters and to take the heat off yourself and the exposure that I have done of you, but it’s not working. You are just too stupid.
I have had it with you–your lies not just on Sandra but your repeated impersonations of myself and others. I am reporting your comments and I encourage others do the same. Hopefully it will result in your IP address being banned and then you can get the psychiatric help you so desperately need.
If you had any shred of credibility left that wasn’t destroyed after myself and others provided links to disprove your ignorant, false claims about Sandra and Property Virgins, it would’ve been demolished with your slipups that easily identified you as posting multiple times under multiple names and (poorly) impersonating other posters here and elsewhere.
You need to get a life as soon as possible. All you are doing here is making Sandra haters look like lunatics and proving yourself to be so far gone mentally that there may not be help for you. I just can’t fathom the amount of hatred you have for this woman or why you are dedicating so much time to try to ruin her. I said before that I could see if she were someone like Rush Limbaugh, but she is not. People like you need to be in a straitjacket 24/7 and never allowed near a computer again.

That woman starts out walking with the virgins through streets of homes they can’t afford in the intro, and then the first 2 homes she shows homes far out of one’s price range (350k-450k and she’s showing 495k, etc.) that isn’t within any sort of negotiable window. Then sometimes the last house is within the price range, but not very attractive. I think she is really some piece of work.
And I don’t mean that in a good way.

I can’t stand Sandra. I don’t mind that she tries to give first time buyers a reality check, because honestly, there are a lot of people out there who are clueless about what they can get for their money where they live. What bothers me about her is that she seems to get aggravated when the buyers want to stick to their budget and not go for houses at the top of their pre-approval. DH and I were pre-approved for about $70k more than what we knew we could comfortably afford, so going as high as the bank will allow really isn’t a good idea for a lot of people.

To respond to the demented knuckle head in this thread who thinks every negative post was written by one person I would suggest he or she is a disgruntled out of work loser with nothing better to do.
I’m sure Sandra has already read these posts or possibly even replied under an alias.
A friend or relative, someone I’m sure has brought it to her attention since it comes up when you Google her name.

I have to disagree with you on her being gorgeous, but I understand that is your opinion.
To me she is right on the border of being average. A solid 5.3 in my book.
However there is something I find very do-able about her. I really think its her tittahs that she squeezes into those tight tops that does it for me.

My only problem with this is her advanced age. If you look closely at her face she has these really ugly wrinkles and lines around her lips, face and eyes.
If doing a 50 year old woman does it for you more power to ya. I think you would see the same alligator skin below the neck too.

I’m happy to have found this site all ready started because I was going to start a thread for the same reason. This show is so ridiculous.
I saw an episode where the couple fell in love with the very first house they saw but wanted to see a couple more before going to offer.
Sandra does something she has never done before and goes out of her way to warn them the house could sell right out from under their feet.
The next day after Sandra shows them a piece of **** they decide to put in an offer on the first house so Sandra does something else completely out of left field and says she is going to call the other agent to give them a heads up.
After the fake call she tell them the house has sold just like she predicted. Now Sandra is gloating and just falls short of saying “I told ya so” (sickening!)
While looking for more houses the house they lost mysteriously becomes available but the need to offer full price is they want to buy it. (are you kidding me?)
What kind of bull**** move is that?
She must think we are stupid as she looks.
With deception tactics like that I’m surprised she hasn’t lost her lenience.
In pulling this crap she has sunk lower than pond scum.

Bev,
I saw the same episode.
Appalling isn’t it.
I’ve seen several episodes in which several similar tactics were used.
The most popular and used most often is the bait and switch someone mentioned before.
This pee-brain try’s to use the buyer’s inexperience in real estate prices and asks them to guess the price of the house.
Hoping they guess to high she can sing the real price anticipating the buyers will say “oh boy! Let’s buy it” On the other hand if they guess too low it’s like, “these virgins are so bad at this”
Let me tell you she makes you feel like you just want to give her a tight slap across the face.
She’s nothing but a low life conman with a real state license.
letsgitridofsandrarinomato on April 7th, 2010 at 8:06 am | Link
I hate to burst the bubble Bev, but on most of these shows, the people have already bought one of the houses and all the looking and searching and browsing is all completely contrived for the sake of making an interesting show. Whatever house the people end up with, they already ended up there before the show was ever filmed. At least that’s the way most of these shows work. One of my friends at work was on House Hunters several years ago and she sort of ruined my enjoyment of these shows by telling me that. She said it was also kind of weird to have to “act” surprised and excited about the place they had already bought for the cameras. lol
Lolzer on April 7th, 2010 at 8:27 am | Link
Lolzer,
That goes without saying. Like you said, “some” houses may have already been purchased and some may have not. I would argue a good deal of them are not. But even if they are simply going through the motions for the sake of “entertainment value” Sandra’s arrogance and unruly behavior bleeds through each scene and contaminates the whole episode.
Of course some or all of these episodes are staged which makes it even worse. None of these people are believable including Sandra who is the worst actor of them all.
Case in point, contrary to what they are trying to accomplish; the outcome of the show is an unreal and ridiculous representation of the real estate industry. More importantly the buying process for the first time home buyers is at best, careless and grossly misrepresented
That being said with the right person hosting the show, someone younger and prettier with a genuine care for the new home buyers could make a big improvement. Sandra is the most repulsive woman I have ever seen.
FYI
To the person who said he would like to get down with Sandra I would respectfully say “are you nuts?”
Yes Sandra wears overly tight jeans but she doesn’t have to body to make it work. Can’t you see she has a bad case of thunder thighs probably weighted down with cellulite and varicose veins.
Believe me; you don’t want to see Sandra naked. Why do you think she rarely wears a sleeveless blouse? Have you not seen all the flab she carries on her arms?
What I mean is, do you really like that body type?

Truer words could not have been said. I like the way you think dtek. I’m sure some of these trolls are connected Sandra’s staff. And as for the hate issue, I would rather think of it as factual analysis.
The reason some people feel so much hostility towards this person is simple. She’s a bitch. I think it was Bev who said she would like to give Sandra a tight slap across the face.
I love the way she put that. I would like share something Renovator said when she was confronted about her rude behavior of the set.

Yes she is hideous.
It amazes me just how rude she is and amount of people that either don’t see it or overlook it.
I’m an expert in reading body language but it doesn’t take an expert to read Sandra.
For example I’ll bet they have never thought twice when Sandra points at her clients when she’s talking.
Finger pointing is interpreted as either a sign of assertiveness or a sign of aggression.
It can also be a show of deception or a cornered to defend herself by using it as a counterattack.
In the case the property slut, her finger pointing is obscene and almost as bad as the shooting daggers with her eyes when things don’t go her way.
In either case these gestures are rude condescending and have not gone unnoticed.
She needs to go.

Listen, you psycho:
I am tired of you impersonating me. I am tired of you impersonating others. I am tired of you talking to yourself to make people think there are just tons of people who hate Sandra. I am tired of you spreading lies about Sandra. I am tired of you saying disgusting things about how she got the job–things that are outright LIES. She got the job because her credentials were higher and she has more experience than those who were younger, not because she had to do anything untoward. Her merits got her to where she is today, which is more than I can say about you. I am tired of you going to other sites and dragging negative responses over here…responses that you probably wrote anyway given your track record. I know not every negative response here on this site is yours, but the vast majority of them (at least 95%) are. I am tired of you resorting to more underhanded tactics to make people think there is this mass sea of hatred against Sandra whenever I or others point out your lies, deception, and twisted, faulty logic. Most of all, I am tired of you not taking your ****ing meds.
I should’ve known that exposing the way you impersonated people in the past would only lead you to change and go about your fake posts more slyly. So you’ve apparently learned how to copy/paste just someone’s handle instead of being a ****ing idiot and copying the time and/or date, too. It’s sad that it took you this long and me pointing it out for you to even get your lying, underhanded tactics to discredit me and others who have exposed you for the lying piece of scum you are, right.
By the way, your lies were exposed AGAIN. The show hasn’t been cancelled and it’s not going to be. In fact, a new episode was on this past Wednesday. I told you before that the new season just hadn’t started yet, but you continued to rail on like the unhinged fool that you are. You will never get Sandra fired…EVER. So just stop wasting time and go find a more creative hobby.
No matter how many times you copy my handle in order to discredit me, I think everyone here is smart enough to know your ridiculous writing style is not mine and that I will never attack Sandra on this blog. I will only say things in her defense. Why don’t you just give it up? You think that by stealing my handle it will add credence to your argument, that it will make people think I’ve changed my opinion of Sandra and cause people to start disliking her–it will not. How ****ing desperate are you? More importantly, why are you so invested in trying (and failing) to destroy a woman who has NOT DONE A DAMN THING TO YOUR CRAZY ASS?

Because I am tired of this psycho impersonating me, I decided to create an account.
My username is getyr_facts_straight. I will only be responding in the future while I am logged in under this handle. Until they get around to banning this nutcase, more of you might have to register as well.
If there are any further posts with any derivatives of my handle that I’ve used in the past “Get your facts straight,” “Get your facts straight (again)” or “The REAL ‘get your facts straight’” then you will know it’s this psychotic moron impersonating me.
Hey fool,
Can’t you see this guy is taunting you and doing it very successfully? You remind me of my little sister when were kids.
The more I teased her the more she reacted to it and the more laughs I got. Using the same temporary user name is not impersonating you and obviously your complaining about it hasn’t done a damn bit of good.
You said he or she was going to get banned and guess what numb nuts. He’s still here.
This person probably doesn’t even care about Sandra Rinomato but really gets a kick out of watching you jump around like a damn fool. I know I do.
Why not just do the mature thing and ignore it.
Every time you jump up like a jack-in –the-box you just give him more power and prove he’s more intelligent than you.
Better yet, since this is a complaint thread and you have nothing constructive to add why you don’t just take a hike. Either way, grow up and stop your whining.

WOW. Like getyr_facts_straight, I too have posted here previously, but decided to register. I know that this is a complaints site and I respect other peoples opinions even though they might be the opposite of my own. I know that a small percentage of people who have complained about Sandra on here are legit. I’m assuming that you have your reasons for not liking her, but that you are not consumed by a really strong hatred for her and that you do actually lead respectable lives.
With that being said, there is one DOUCHEBAG on here who has invented names (like Eddie, Bev, Pete, David, Susan. I could go on but you see where I’m going.) and impersonated posters who have both defended Sandra and disliked her.
Hey DOUCHEBAG, the sooner you get banned, the better off we’ll all be. Then it can go back to being a normal forum for adults to discuss the topic at hand: Sandra Rinomato / her real estate business / “Property Virgins”. I know that you are the one who has said SEVERAL TIMES how horrible looking you think Sandra is. She’s got wrinkles, she’s fat, she’s old. CHANGE THE ****ING RECORD, MAN. Tell me, since you’re the one who’s allowed to judge someone SOLELY by their appearance, what does your girlfriend/wife look like? Oh wait…YOU DON’T HAVE ONE. You are nothing but a pathetic ****ing retard who lives in his parents basement and enjoys nothing more than picking on a TV personality who obviously has better things to do than respond to your stupid comments and threats.
I hope that you get banned from this forum and then get wiped off this earth. **** you.
I don’t know if it is because Sandra is from Canada but I cannot believe that this educated realtor (NOT REEL A TOR)cannot pronounce the world com’pra bles.
And since it seems she can only say kom pear’ ables, I just wish she would be savy and use the word “comps.” She sounds so ignorant otherwise.
Thank you.
Guest on April 13th, 2010 at 10:11 pm | Link
Just because it’s fun to nitpick when I’m bored at work:
The word isn’t actually comprables. It’s comparable. She’s pronouncing it correctly if she does in fact say “kom pear’ ables.”
I can’t believe that an educated complainer wouldn’t proof their post and change “world” to “word” when they’re complaining about English.
But there’s plenty of other awful Canadian pronunciations on that show, I just can’t think of any of them right now.

Seriously, you keep this stuff up to make people think Sandra is so widely disliked (which is false, she currently has 4,654 fans) and you actually think you won’t get caught? Amazing. It took about five seconds to find the site you stole that from. You think you’re clever but all you continue to do is make yourself look even more deranged. Even IF HGTV producers were going to take any of these complaints seriously (and they aren’t), they wouldn’t after seeing evidence of all this crazy you keep spewing.
Oh, and Bev, there is no need to talk about yourself in third person as if you are a different poster. You’re not fooling me and I doubt you are fooling anyone else. If anyone does Ctrl+F and types in “Bev,” they can see that in previous posts, your writing style and several arguments are almost verbatim as your other personalities that have been exposed. You have certain trademarks that never vary, even when the name does. In fact, the first posts by the user “Beverly” and then “Bev” later on (both you) have an uncanny resemblance to and use the same phrases as some like Cindy, Mr. Locke, Kim, Candis, westcoaster, and other personalities you have.
In fact, when you impersonated me, you used the same phrase you used when you signed the name Bev before– the insult you keep parroting about how they should have used someone “younger and prettier.” Enjoy gloating about not being banned for as long as you can. Anyone who has read your previous posts and the majority of the other extremely-hate filled posts knows you are all the same person, no matter how many multiple personalities you use. You continually use the same crude, degrading insults about her, the same flawed arguments, the same opening statements, and the same level of venom and vitriol drips from every post you make because you detest this woman so much. If you think you are proving yourself to be more intelligent than anyone here, you are sorely mistaken. Your posts are easily spotted a mile away and it clearly infuriates you when your lies are exposed and your assertions disproved with links to facts and that is one reason you started impersonating me in the first place. If you think that constantly insulting this woman and spreading lies are constructive arguments, then you’re a bigger idiot than I thought.
I can’t stand Sandra.
I don’t mind that she tries to give first time buyers a reality check, because honestly, there are a lot of people out there who are clueless about what they can get for their money where they live.
What bothers me about her is that she seems to get aggravated when the buyers want to stick to their budget and not go for houses at the top of their pre-approval.
DH and I were pre-approved for about $70k more than what we knew we could comfortably afford, so going as high as the bank will allow really isn’t a good idea for a lot of people.

She bugs me too. I hate how she shows people neighborhoods they could never afford in the beginning. It’s like a cruel reality check. Most of those people probably don’t even care to see houses that are way out of budget.
I know a lot of “property virgins” can be unrealistic in their expectations. But I’d never want to see a house that is way out of my budget then go to a different neighborhood that is and get a huge let down of sorts.

I see you’re using your same trademarks again–one of them is that when your lies are exposed, several negative posts show up a few minutes apart in order to try to drown out the truth and take the heat off yourself, but it never works. Clearly the last three posts were made by you. The last one is an obvious impersonation of me, and do you really think people are going to be so stupid as to think that two different people posted the other two posts a MINUTE apart?
BTW, your post under the name “Jackie” at 7:51 PM was posted verbatim the other week by your personality “John.” Is your memory slipping? You know what happens when you tell so many lies–you can’t keep them straight.

Oh, and since I’m now authenticated, you’re just really wasting your time with impersonating me. You can copy the handle, but registered users have an icon beside their name which your fake post does not have, so it makes you look even more foolish trying to impersonate me, you psychopath. Even if you register and steal my icon (which you are crazy enough to do), you can’t register with the exact same username as me, so you once again will be easily exposed for the deranged liar that you are.
You bragged under your personality “Bev” that you weren’t going to get banned because “Using the same temporary user name is not impersonating you and obviously your complaining about it hasn’t done a damn bit of good.” Well, unluckily for you, my username is no longer a temporary one…it is a permanent one now that I’ve registered, so you can’t split hairs on whether it’s impersonation or not.
BTW, I hope you enjoyed tonight’s BRAND NEW Property Virgins episode–it was said to be her 100th! Sandra keeps on succeeding and you keep on failing. No wonder you act so psycho on this blog–it must hurt to know that all your efforts to ruin her and get this show cancelled are in vain.
Wow, this thread has gotten sad. Clearly one of Sandra’s dejected lovers has a chip on his shoulder.
If you happen to see any more comments with my name on them, they’re not from me, regardless of what they say. I’m unsubscribing now. It’s not even fun to laugh at the ignorant people hurtling towards a stroke about how much they hate her anymore, it’s just sad.
Lolzer on April 15th, 2010 at 8:16 am | Link
must say, that although I watch the show quite religiously, its only for decorating ideas and to keep in touch with my Toronto roots.
Sandra has got to be the worst Agent there is. She has the Atlas syndrome, show something above price range, or show something in price range but bad neighbourhood. Or show a fixer upper.
I just purchased my home, and Sandra who is pushy with 3-4 home showings only (could be edited and she shows more)always waits for the offer and upsells the negatives and does not know what it means to offer lower than asking? Even advising a couple to proceed with Home Inspection on a BRAND NEW HOUSE, that is still covered in the warranty. Man, she is just terrible. I really do not know how she makes a living. I’ve got to say she takes the prize for being terrible, condescending and beyond reproach with her attitude.
I have to watch it on mute, most of the time, because I cannot handle her negativity.
My agent, was the most wonderful man and he showed us many homes. We purchased our home because he found it, he negotiated and we did not pay a cent over what we were comfortable with. Not once did he pressure us. We are now very good friends with him and his family.
And if anyone needs a good agent, I will not hesitate referring him.

Sandra Rinomato is obnoxious. She frequently gets the stooges to say the maximum they would bid on the house, and then magically that’s the price she comes back with. She has clearly violated her agreement to keep that information confidential.
HGTV tapes her when she’s negotiating, and they almost certainly have her recorded breaking real estate regulations. I wish she’d get busted. She’s offensive.
If anything, get her to show you houses just to waste her time. I’d love to see her on a show called, “Property Veterans”. I’d like to see her pull her pressure tactics on someone with some experience.
Jackie on April 15th, 2010 at 8:45 am | Link
Lolzer, I figured this moron was still impersonating you as he continues to try to impersonate me (but failed since registered users have an icon which links to their profile and all he can post now is my handle that he’s copied/pasted). I don’t blame you for unsubscribing.
To the fake “getyr_facts_straight on April 15th, 2010 at 8:31 am,” I can seriously laugh at you now because you just make yourself look more ridiculous and more of a lunatic when you try to impersonate me. You’ll never be able to register with the same name that I have, so people will be able to easily tell who the imposter is even if you choose a similar username and try to use my icon. BTW, that’s a rather unnerving look into your psyche. Is it a confession? You probably are a 35 year old sex offender…that would explain your perverse hatred and obsession for this woman as well as your equally degrading comments about her and women in general. I’d be careful admitting this if I were you, though, since no matter how many times you try to impersonate me, the IP address points to YOU and you alone…
You really should take my advice and seek professional help for that multiple personality disorder. I see it’s affected you again, since when you posted under “Jen” at 8:35 AM today you copied and pasted that verbatim from a poster named “GRACE” on the torontomike blog:
torontomike.com/2007/11/property_virgins_with_sandra_r.html#comment-79870
Under your personality “Jackie” at 8:45 AM, you also copied that from the denverpost blog:

Apparently, you’re so stupid that you copied/pasted the wrong names for your post. “Brian” was responding to “Jackie;” “Jackie” actually made another post that you copied and pasted on March 3, 2010 on this complaint site..and then you followed it up with Brian’s post that same day. But apparently now you’re so frazzled and desperate since your lies are being exposed that you are too stupid to realize that you are double and triple posting the exact same complaints and you’re not able to remember what names you used before! This is what happens when you lie so much–you can’t keep them straight and you slip up.

You really aren’t doing yourself any favors here. You’re not going to make people dislike Sandra if they see you constantly lying and being a lunatic about her.
Also, I clearly know the difference between your and you’re and that there is no such thing as “in tacked”, so if you’re going to fail at impersonating me, please try to fail just a little bit less, ok? I mean, I know this is hard for you since you’ve probably been a failure all your life, but just try, please.
I’ll repeat what the property virgin said at the end of last night’s NEW episode: “I think it’s really cool to be on the 100th episode. I think it just shows how good Sandra is doing and I just want to tell her congratulations and to keep going–maybe she can get to 200.”
I’ve been watching this show for about a year now for the sole purpose of price shopping in the Toronto area.
I can’t believe how little you get for the money compare to the US. Regarding the show I don’t think HDTV or Coldwell bank made the best choice for the host.
I did some checking to verify some on the allegations made on this page and found a lot of them to be true. This is the one I found most interesting.
Sandra
“I think they wanted someone younger”
Producer:
He fished her audition tape out of the rejection pile and had to do a hard sell to his higher-ups, who apparently said: “Ugh! She’s hideous!”
As much as Sandra tries to suppress her inner frustrations with her clients it’ almost comical to watch her struggles to contain her anger.
Seriously I have never seen a more obnoxious and highly offensive TV personality.
Some of her comments should be censured and are harmful to the industry.
I do intend to compose a strongly worded letter and register a complaint to both HDTV and Coldwell Banker.
Peace out…..

I hate this woman. Her accent is horrible. She says “hoose” instead of “house.” It drives me nuts.

Haha Guest, you’d do better to send your strongly worded letter to HGTV, as HDTV might not really care what you have to say about this woman.
Copying and pasting drivel into google and seeing how many hits it brings up isn’t exactly “verifying” allegations lol.
Stupid people make me laugh on fridays. They make me fear for the future on mondays though.
Another guest on April 16th, 2010 at 8:19 am | Link
Wow. Amazing to see so many negative comments from people who apparently do not realize that they are watching a TV show designed to entertain people as well as inform. Do you all really believe that in her real-life practice at Coldwell Banker that she stays outside while her clients view a property, or that she makes them guess the price, etc. Come on! For myself, Property Virgins is easily my favorite show on HGTV. In fact it’s the only one I will schedule myself to watch, and I LOVE Sandra. And please see comments below from someone who was actually on the show:
I was the person that was filmed… the process was long, but great. True, they do show me a couple of places based on my specifications, but the third was one I previously picked out. Believe me, the process is so long that you can choose between many options! It only shows 3 for the camera. It should be airing early next year- keep your eyes peeled!!!
And yes, Sandra is super cool. I was scared meeting her at first, because her persona on tv is quite… snarky. But she is funny and very nice. The crew was excellent too- after this shot was completed, they bought me and my friends drinks for the night at the Four Fields and we proceeded to film our drunken escapades!!!

Everybody is entitled to their opinion but I too have met Sandra Rinomato and got a completely different impression.
You can take away the movie props, the ridiculous name of “property virgin” and even set aside the absurd format i.e. standing outside like a fool while the home buyers walk through the property without an escort.
Forcing the clients to “guess the price” of every single property while blatantly arguing and belittling the them. And when all is said and done you still have this hideous bitch Sandra Rinomato.
In real life apart from the camera she is an arrogant pompous ass and no different from what you see on TV.
Here is the link where Sandra is described by the shows executive produces as “Hideous”
http://www.househunting.ca/buying-homes/story.html?id=ca0034cb-0a00-4bbc-98f2-a8cda33e484c
Can you imagine auditioning for a part like this and being called “Hideous?”
This coming from experts whose very purpose is to weed out the bad apples and undesirable applicants.
Basically Sandra’s audition clip was dug out of the trash can and pushed down their throats just like the Obama health care bill.
Think about that, they thought she was hideous. lol ……………………………
Hideous, hideous, hideous.
Merriam Webster definition of hideous is: offensive to the senses and especially to sight: exceedingly ugly. Morally offensive and shocking.
There’s no denying it. Sandra is a horrible realtor and shouldn’t even be on the show.
Out of the hourses mouth,
SHE’S HIDEOUS

Hey psycho, it seems you’ve run out of actual names so now you’re just calling yourself “Guest” & “Anonymous”? Wow. Go on your writing campaign to HDTV and see how far that gets you. Moron.
“I hate this woman. Her accent is horrible. She says “hoose” instead of “house.” It drives me nuts.”
Listen douchecanoe, I know you don’t venture farther than your parents back yard, but in other parts of North America (and even the world!), people have different accents! Hard to believe isn’t it?! Who gives a flying **** how she pronounces the word “house”? That’s not the point of of the show! The point of the show is to sell a house to “Property Virgins”. Dur. You say you’ve met her and that she was a “hideous bitch.” How so? Was it that she didn’t appreciate being harrassed by some ****ing looper who seems like he’s just been released from the looney bin? IF, and I mean IF, you actually did meet her, I hope she called the cops on your ass.
Which brings me to my next point. Since you’re trying to use Sandra’s words against her, why not try READING them first. “I also had a hair accident. I got a brush stuck in my bangs, and had to cut it out, leaving one centimeter of hair as my bang. That was hilarious, but awful! My bangs are an integral part of my hair style and I looked like Dumb and Dumber for my second audition tape. I thought, “Oh, now they won’t want me for sure!” Stan, I’m telling you, I said no a million times but it happened anyway.” It doesn’t matter what one stupid producer thought about her. Christ. She is telling you she “said no a million times” and you still won’t let it go?! It must kill you to know that some people with brains thought Sandra was experienced enough (AND pretty enough) to front a tv show about real estate. They thought that she, Sandra Rinomato, was the best person for the job. Oh yes they did. And they were right. Get over it you ****ing loser. *watches you shed unpretty tears*
http://www.remonline.com/home/?p=4258
And since you linked this and apparently didn’t read it: “I think they wanted someone younger,” says the woman who keeps her age a closely guarded secret. “Someone, like 30. But I don’t know that a 30 year old would have the experience you need — some of the situations you come up against, if you haven’t dealt with that before, or you’re not a good people person, there’s no way.”
Sandra said herself that someone younger would not be experienced enough to front a show like this and guess what, she’s right! Why the **** do you have such a problem with that?! Argh, you are such a complete nutjob. I hope you get locked up or wiped out sooner rather than later.

Last week, she talked a couple into taking a $400,000 mortgage instead of $300,000. The reason being the monthly payment is not that different. She is just a self-serving manipulative crook, thinking about her commission first and foremost.
Doesn’t she know the interest rates are probably going to be higher when their mortgage resets 3-5 years from now?
Besides, with such a big mortgage, very few capital will have been paid and the housing market will have gone down the drain.
Her show should be taken off the air. All it does is encourage people to buy too much house and live way beyond their means. She is going to be sued soon.

That’s what you posted here on this complaint site on January 8. The only difference is that this time you left off the “dental work” insult.
The same comment is also word for word on the torontomike blog.
http://www.torontomike.com/2007/11/property_virgins_with_sandra_r.html#comment-83707
Running out of attacks on Sandra so now you just have to post the same exact blocks of insults you’ve posted before? Even though you decided to be consistent with the names this time, anyone with a brain knows that you posted that comment on the torontomike site as well as the duplicate comments under “Oh” on this one. You’re not clever - not clever at all.
It’s also still easy to tell which posts are yours. A comment is posted to defend Sandra and point out how wrong you are in your assertions and then that post is followed by a slew of negative comments with different names assigned. Your writing style NEVER changes so this easily points to you.
As for you meeting Sandra, PLEASE. Do you really think anyone is going to believe you met Sandra when it’s been proven that you have lied numerous times on this blog already, especially when you keep posting the same comments and pretending to be different people? Half the time you can’t even keep the names straight when you’re copying/pasting!
If you met Sandra, then I’m Santa Claus. Ho ho ho.
whatever dude i’m just here to post a comment and i’m telling you nobody is gona call a chick hideous because she had a bad hair day. i’m sure they meant it literally.
she’s appalling.

“I came on this site with an opinion and nothing more but since you choose to call me out you’re going to pay the price you little worm like infinitesimal piece of frog ****.”
I’m going to pay the price? Thanks for bumping the crazy up a notch. When you were impersonating me, all you were doing was breaking site rules. But making threats like “you’re going to pay the price” is actually breaking the law. Wow, you really ARE a nutjob, aren’t you? I hope Sandra has really good security at all times.
I choose to call you out because you are a liar. Liars should be exposed. You go to all these sites, badmouthing Sandra and pretending to be several different people, and then most of the time when you paste the comments made elsewhere here, you use different names than the ones attached to the other posts. You have even been caught multiple times on this site posting the exact same comments a few minutes apart but slipping up and using different names (your Ken/Susan personalities are perfect examples) or posting slightly different comments but forgetting to change the website field, so it points to you still (your Mrs. Summers/Candis personalities are a perfect example of this). You know damn well that 95% of these negative comments are yours, and I have provided several links to the exact same comments elsewhere so anyone and everyone can see you for the liar you are. You just can’t stand that not as many people dislike Sandra as you wish and that she actually has numerous fans compared to the few haters.
With each post, you prove yourself to be nothing more than a violent, ignorant, hate-filled insane prick and any argument you make against Sandra is immediately void because of the nature you go about it (and it’s obvious you made the original complaint, the two separate complaints related to this one, as well as the same post harassing Sandra on her own website blog).
Since you made the mistake earlier of encouraging people to complain to “HDTV” about Sandra, maybe you SHOULD write to an HDTV television because it would be just as effective as you writing to HGTV about Sandra - both actions would get you nowhere. HGTV isn’t going to waste their time listening to the insane, asinine ramblings of a lunatic like yourself.
Sandra is sexy, smart, and effective. I like watching her. That’s all I have to say about that. You don’t like her? Fascinating! Please just do everyone on God’s green earth a favor and stop watching her. Why torture yourself? Just think - that time you spend watching someone you can’t stand on television, you can be coming up with a cure for cancer, or brushing your teeth or something. The last 5 minutes of reading have certainly been entertaining for me, in a can’t take my eyes off of the train wreck sort of way - so I at least thank you for that.
But, I see how posting a stupid comment can be sort of fun once or twice, but people, come on! Go walk the dog, or take up whittling or something….Peace out….

“Anyway you are very right about the allocations against the sex offender getyr_facts_straight

“We?” Stop talking to yourself and referring to yourself in the plural, Steve/”Guest”/about 50 other names you’ve used. The only “we” is the different voices inside your head and your multiple personalities and you know it.
See, this is your problem right here. You think that if you repeat your lies enough times that they will become the truth. This is false. All this does is expose you to be a bigger liar than has already been proven.
You’re actually doing me AND Sandra a big favor by repeatedly posting your nonsense. You prove that all your ALLEGATIONS (the word is not “allocations,” you moron) against Sandra are entirely false, you prove you are a raving angry lunatic, and you prove everything I’ve been saying about you from the get-go. So when people do a google search and your nonsense comes up attached to my handle, people will actually READ my posts and see proof I linked that you:
1. talk to yourself on a regular basis
2. pretend to be multiple users/impersonate others
3. tell nothing but lies on Sandra, me, and anyone who defends her
4. make threats against Sandra and users like myself
5. belong in a psych ward
You can lie and call me a sex offender, “Polish Prince of Penis” (how old are you, 10?), and anything else and all this does is show you up to even crazier and more immature. You’re never going to discredit me by telling these lies; in fact, you only discredit yourself and all your multiple personalities with negative complaints about Sandra. So thanks for that.

You go right ahead and do that. You’re not going to stop the truth about you being exposed. By saying that I am a “registered sex offender” and a “pedophile,” you are committing at least two crimes–internet harassment and libel. If you post another complaint and continue to say these lies about me, you will be taking your crimes one step further. You also threatened me personally earlier when you said I was “going to pay the price.”
So please, continue to harass me and spread libel. You are giving me more and more evidence so I can report you to the FBI and then the owners of this site will be forced to turn over your IP address.
You think you aren’t committing a crime? Why don’t you google it and get back to me.

Your comments about Sandra are and were unnecessary. And now you are THREATENING another poster and calling them a “pedophile and a registered sex offender”? Really? You’re THAT stupid?! How does one become a pedophile and/or registered sex offender because they were defending Sandra Rinomato? By your “logic”, if someone disagrees with you, they are automatically a registered sex offender and/or a pedophile. If I prefer apples and you prefer oranges, that automatically means I’m a pedophile?! Huh. Intelligent thinking there, loser.
If you do continue to harass “getyr_facts_straight”, I will also be reporting you to the FBI for internet harassment. I have no problem in doing so. The way you’re going, the men in white coats will be coming to your house very shortly along with the FBI.
Go ahead and call the FBI Polish Prince of Penis aka getyr_facts_straight.

every episode is the same with first-time buyers standing on a street, pointing at houses they cannot afford. It’s almost painful to watch their faces drop as the Rino lady tells them they are way, way out of their price range.
Someone needs to give her a swift kick in the ass!

Hey Guest,
I never thought about it that way but you’re right. We do have control over this getyr_facts_straight AKA POLISH PRINCE OF PENIS.
Hey retard, I order you to search for this post, then copy and paste it here on this site, and I want it done now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK POLISH PRINCE OF PINUS YOU’RE UP. Lol
On paper the concept of the show could work but the way it plays out is about how the host uses passive aggressive criticism to make the first time home buyers look foolish.
It’s almost like everyone except the people spending the money is in on a practical joke.
I love watching Sandra become professionally threatened when a couple says they don’t believe a garage could be built on the lot and she says something like, “I’m telling you that there is enough room!”
How rude! Just who the hell does she think she is?
Steve on April 18th, 2010 at 10:46 am | Link
It’s obvious that you are also the poster “Drew.” People, any post that refers to Sandra as “Rino” or mentions a desire to see violence done to her (like he has done numerous times in the past) is most definitely him, I don’t care what name he chooses to lie and use.
Under the name “Drew,” you copied and pasted that (with minimal changes) from the Househunting article:
“Every episode of Property Virgins, the hit HGTV series hosted by Sandra Rinomato, starts with naive, first-time buyers standing on a street, pointing at houses we know they cannot afford. It’s almost painful to watch their faces crumple as Rinomato matter-of-factly tells them they are way, way out of their price range.”
househunting.ca/buying-homes/story.html?id=ca0034cb-0a00-4bbc-98f2-a8cda33e484c
Of course, you left off the positive part: “But it’s such good TV. And a big part of what makes it work is the straight-shooting yet patient style of Rinomato, who somehow manages to resist rolling her eyes when naive buyers insist they should be able to afford four bedrooms, granite countertops and a pool.”
It takes a mere five seconds to plug in something you’ve written in google and find out where you’ve posted it elsewhere with a different name or where you’ve stolen/plagiarized it from if someone else did actually write it. You will not stop me from exposing your lies and attacks on Sandra and you will never get Sandra fired from either Coldwell Banker or Property Virgins, no matter how hard you try, no matter how many lies you tell.

Yes, keep making those threats towards me. As soon as you make the complaint, I will use it as evidence of you not only breaking site rules but also harassing me. If thinking you own me makes you feel a little better, be my guest. But with each post you make towards me, you prove yourself to be crazier and you provide me with more evidence of your harassment and criminal acts. That’s one thing I can always count on - each response is a little more deranged than the last.

Plain and simple, you can complain but you cannot
1. abuse, harass, threaten, impersonate or intimidate other users;
2. name specific individuals who are not public figures

We’re laughing in your face now do it now!
As someone who was a “virgin” on the show I can only say from my experience that the television show takes priority over the person/couple’s purchase.
I don’t think I’ve seen the episode under discussion, but we were promised great negotiators, lots of personal attention, and excellent advice.
In return we never negotiated price, found the house ourselves, and gained nothing by being on the show.
Our reason for applying to the show was to have an excellent realtor. Sandra was only the television host and again, we found the place ourselves.
Very disappointing all around so I do have some sympathy for a situation that doesn’t sound too dissimilar from my own.

hi drew here,
are you telling me all i have to do is copy and past a complaint from another site and your polish prince of penis will look for it like that??
i don’t see anything wrong. it’s just like a lawyer bringing in evidence.
i wan’t to try. this is another reason i can’t stand sandra. oh bye the way, a lot of people call her the rino. lol
ok polish prince “guess” where this one came from.
Go fetch!
Somebody please help me understand this: I watched an episode of Property Virgins and was shocked at the process.
The For sale price was $549k. The buyers agent proceeded to tell the prospective buyers that the MULTIPLE bids would be over $600k and then urged them to submit their VERY best and highest offer.
The couple offered their very maximum of $639k and waited while the agent went across the street to present the offer. She came back 1 hour later and told them there were 3 offers but this couple won. ??????
Really? That’s how a willing buyer and willing seller meet in the middle at a price that satisfies both parties? A buyer and a seller with black box reps in between them urging people to offer their top dollar into a vaccuum?
amazing she still has a job…

I like the show but, Sandra’s condescending and talks down to her clients over and over again. I just watched an episode with the firefighter and his wife looking for a home in Dallas/Fort Worth.
She has to the nerve to make a comment about how much money they can afford, saying, “oh we’ll look at the homes you are willing to spend your money on…oh I mean how much you ARE ABLE spend”.
Okay it doesn’t sound as bad as reading what I just typed, but the way she said it on the show was rude. I think the show would be better without this lady. There was also an episode with the young Asian girl and her mother. Could Sandra have been any more rude or stereotypical? People come from different cultures.
So what if Asian folks are superstitious.
I’m sure there’s many things Canadians do that are different from other cultures. Rolling her eyes, making the girl cry? Come on, lady. Karma will come knocking on your door.
on a personal note i find her repulsive to watch and have to mute the tv when she is on.
Drew on April 19th, 2010 at 12:36 pm | Link
I think Sandra is fantastic. First of all this is a TV show and you would think the clients have watched her show before and know what they are getting into. Guessing the price and browsing around in the house alone is a part of the show, and I’m sure Sandra isn’t the brain behind it all alone.
I think Sandra is a good role model (not the skinny type, but still good looking) and she has lots of knowledge. I like her personality and also find her clothing style interesting. We should appreciate her being different from all the other TV personalities instead of being so critical. We are so used to skinny models that all other people are either fat or ugly. Come on! I love the fact that she is more normal, it looks more professional to me. And who cares if she has a so called “gap” between her front teeth!?!?! I think people have serious problems in here, getting so caught up with her looks. Go Sandra, you are a good host!
And, btw…to all of you who think it’s unfear that a Canadian sells houses in the U.S: I’m sure American realtors sell hundreds of houses in Mexico every year. Is that fear to the poor Mexicans? It’s a part of globalization and capitalism, cope with it you silly patriots!!!
Stine on April 19th, 2010 at 4:27 pm | Link
Thank you, Stine. Seeing as you have the guts to defend Sandra on here, you’ll probably be called names and whatnot. Watch out, there’s a “Polish Prince/Price of penis/pinus” about.
97% of negative responses on here are from one loser who hates Sandra so much, he has taken it this far. He uses several different names to post under, when he is generally saying the same thing. He hates her for some reason and only he knows why. The douche needs to be in a psychiatric facility.
Now that you’ve defended Sandra, I’m awaiting 5-10 notifications (all from him using different names) about how ugly/fat/tired looking Sandra is, how she’s a horrible realtor, how she is so mean etc etc etc. He is not fooling anyone. He tried to use reverse psychology and it backfired big time. He is not as slick as he thinks he is. Any normal person with common sense would see straight through him.
Ok. I’ve read a lot of the comments and this is getting ridic.
This is a COMPLAINT site. The internet was made for trash talking! If you want to start an “I love Sandra” forum, then go somewhere else. Sandra is a big girl. If she can’t take criticism, then she shouldn’t be on national TV!
Since there are people getting railed on for expressing their opinion, I created a board where we can criticize Sandra without being jumped all over. Don’t like it? Don’t post. It’s anonymous, so have fun!

Has anyone else noticed that every now and then a couple will literally ditch Sandra no longer returning any of her phone calls or messages? I’m surprised they don’t edit those out as they only make Sandra look their worst nightmare.
I asked my sister who has been a realtor for 30 years if that’s ever happened to her and the answer was no.
I suspect some people just don’t like her pushy condescending approach.

LOL again, you must submit to the superior intellect! (Me)
Anyway here we go,
Of all the shows on HGTV, I hate Property Virgins the most.
Sandra Rinomato is offensive. She really is a one-trick pony. From the first moment, she throws questions at these usually young and somewhat clueless buyers. “What do you think of this?” “What do you think the price is?” etc., ad nausea.
As the poster above pointed out, if a buyer turns it around and asks her outright what the price is, she just refuses to tell them until they guess. And if you watch her face carefully, you will see very subtle and brief looks of anger cross her face when the buyers aren’t playing her way.

Wow. These comments are hilarious. Sandra’s awesome, and I love her show.
It’s pretty bad when most of the complaints include the fact that she has an accent. OH NO! She says “house” funny, she must be a demon!
She sends the buyers into the house ahead of her, because it’s extra pressure to have someone staring over your shoulder. She answers whatever questions the buyers have after they’ve walked through the house on their own.
I find her pleasant and charming. If you don’t, I suggest that you figure out how to use a TV remote control, and try focusing your energy somewhere other than impotent rage over some random TV show no one is forcing you to watch.

It gets better; he’s called the polish prince of penis and will do whatever you want.
James and I looked over a few of his posts and laughed our asses off when we read how someone came up with his new name.
We didn’t believe it so we’re going to see for ourselves. If this was prison he would be considered a bitch or someone’s boy.
My comment has to do with last night’s episode. I thought Sandra, the host, was particularly impatient with the young woman and her mother who were looking for the woman’s first place.
Sandra was making faces whenever the woman or her mother expressed a problem with a property.
She also literally made the young woman cry when the woman didn’t like the first place she saw, by being rude and in-your-face and extremely insensitive.
I really wonder why the producers didn’t step in and/or fire Sandra right on the spot.

I think all of you guys are a bunch of hatters. To spend your time coming on this website to bash another human being for trying to make a living for herself and her family tells alot about you. Your commenting on her clothes, her bossoms, her voice, and her skills shows how jealous you are don’t watch the show then. Sandra must be doing something right for you idiots to come on here and talk crap about her and for what because she probably has more money than you. Who cares if she comes to the US and sells a home. I am a 11 year successful realtor in the US with more than two hundred and fifty properties sold and I can careless if she comes over to the US to sell a home. Why don’t you guys grow up and get a life or find something better to do. YOU GO SANDRA!!!!!

If the show played out like a real life house buying experience you would be bored and thus complaining about that. Heck, if it were real, you’d see a lot more than 3 houses (which they do off camera). All that stuff she does is for entertainment.

You are not a realtor and your bull**** stats are meaningless.
Sandra Rinomato is a terrible realtor and needs to be shaken off your boots.
Her weight is out of control, her voice is appalling, and the gap between her teeth makes her look like a hick from the middle of no man’s land.
Her abrasive personality and condescending unruly ways make her lower than the waste product of scum.
I would love to give her a tight slap across the face.

Another f**k face hatter. First off cum wad get your facts straight in order to be a Prince you have to be a male, I mean I probably get more pu**sy then you, since you spend your time hatting on women jacking off your little twig all day but that’s another topic. But your right about something my stats don’t mean much since your probably flipping burgers for a living. O’ yeah get my burger bi**ch no onions, no lettuce hold the fries. N-E-Ways, I can careless how you feel about Sandra all I was saying is that for you pricks to actually spend your time downing another person about their figure or personality shows that you have nothing better to do, at least she has her own show what are you doing. I mean to actually create a blog to hate on someone, how f***king pathetic is that. And for your info Guest, I’m not only a realtor but when you can no longer flip burgers for a living I’ll be forclosing your house or box, selling it to the highest bidder (Do I hear $5). Go f**k yourself Palmer. This will be my last post since I have no time for childish games, plus I have to go sell Guest’s box house and try to earn a $2 commission for a $2 prick. So for final words all you hatters get a life and while Sandra and I are living it up doing what you jealous fags only wish or dream you could remeber these words of wisdom. “All considerations of position, wealth and reputation aside, the greatest and most enduring triumph as a human being lies in knowing that one is doing one’s best”.
J. Lugs on April 24th, 2010 at 8:56 pm | Link
This is hard question to answer because there are so many episodes where I’d just like to give her a swift kick in the ass.
There is one that stands out that was so hideous it was hard to forget. The details are a little bit sketchy by as I remember there was a young woman looking for her first home and she brought her mother along for support and advice.
There was a house across the street from a school/main hi way I don’t remember but the mother commented on the level of background noise they could hear from inside the house.
Sandra acknowledged the noise but told them it didn’t matter as long as you couldn’t hear it from the master bedroom. (Just to say it that’s a bullsh_it answer.)
Anyway she took them into the bedroom, closed the door. As Sandra tilted her head from one side to another in here most annoying and screechy voice said, “whadoyahear?”
The look on her face was appalling as she was clearly trying to elicit a humble apologetic look from her clients but instead the mother and daughter just stared at each other in consternation and neither knew what to say.
When a trusted professional tries to make light of a legitimate concern, humiliate, embarrass or shock their clients in to a awkward stony silence they should be thrown out of society where there will be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.

I watched for 5 minutes. It was just long enough for Sandra to tell new buyers that a garage addition would cost only $10,000. She’s obnoxious, abrasive and condescending. I don’t care how many awards she’s won. When she’s on, I’ll be changing channels.

Yet again, you just proved how much of a moron you really are.
“The word user is the word used by the computer professional when they mean idiot.” - Dave Barry
watch this show from time to time and have become increasingly annoyed with Sandra’s personality. The guest who said this woman needs to be fired hit the nail on the head.
I am watching an episode where the couple is approved at 800k but wants to spend 500k. She makes fun of them for not wanting to spend more (’typical property virgins’).
I applaud the couple for sticking to their guns. I feel pushy realtors trying to make a bigger commission bullying unwitting buyers has played a party to our county’s property and debt issues.
Guest on April 25th, 2010 at 10:16 pm | Link
I think Sandra is awesome. I love her and I love the show!
It is so sad to read these awful comments about her looks and her technique. It is only a half hour show and she does show them more than 3 houses, they only show 3 because it is all they can fit in the allotted time slot.
I think she looks fantastic! She is curvy and confident and I think everyone who is bashing her is just jealous. She is so much more beautiful than those tiny air brushed models they show on Tv so much. She is a real woman and I love her personality. You all need to seriously work on your own problems and stop picking out faults on others. This world needs more positivity and love, not hatred.
She does show compassion a lot in the episodes. I have even seen shows where there are tears in her eyes because the person or couple got the perfect house that they adored.
I don’t think there is anything wrong with her selling houses in the US. I would love to have her as my realtor! Most of the realtors I have known here in the US were awful human beings that didn’t care about anyone but themselves.
Like a lot of people have said on here….Get a life! If you don’t like the Tv show that is fine and if you don’t like Sandra that is ok too but stop posting these horrible comments about a woman that none of you really know personally. I can’t even imagine what she would feel if she saw these comments about her. What if you were in her shoes? You wouldn’t like people talking about how you look fat and ugly. Seriously….people are so shallow. This makes me so sad.

I recently bought my first house and as I was escorted from place to place with my realtor I couldn’t help but think about the show Property Virgins.
I tried to imagine my realtor bailing out on me at the mail box and telling me he would catch up to me later.
What would it be like “not” to know the price prior to seeing it only have my realtor “insist” I guess the price each and every time we saw a new property.
How would I feel if my realtor played me for a fool and suggest I offer full price instead of negotiating it down.
What would I say if this guy who I’m paying 3% kept pressuring me to buy houses I couldn’t afford or didn’t like.
If I learned anything from watching Sandra Rinomato it would just how awful and realtor can be. People like her can’t be trusted and should not be given a license to manipulate honest hard working people.

Sorry Special Guest but no can do.
Sandra Rinomato is a bully, overbearing, rude bitch with a big gap between her teeth and a screech chipmunk like voice.
I intend to continue posting complaints until HDTV runs her off the air. The Polish Prince of Penis can continue posting under as many names as he wants but when he wakes up in the morning he is still going to be the Polish Prince of Penis.
An uneducated moron who I experiment with and control in a skillful manner.
Now back to business.
Here is one of my favorites.
Rinomato is awful. The camera most definitely does not love her. She has an annoying screechy voice, bad skin and badly hennaed hair.
I think she is either an alcoholic with liver damage or uses way too much bronzer on her skin, which definitely appears jaundiced. She has a face you want to scrub and a gap between her two front teeth
. Her clothes are way too tight for her body type.
I can barely look at her.

I wish Sandra would wear her clothes one size larger!!
I can deal with the voice if I turn down the volume and I can deal with the “property virgin gap” between her teeth but wearing skin tight clothing on a size 8 body just doesn’t do anyone any good.
As a poster said above, she probable intimidates everyone around her to a point where she has them all running scared.

To the insane poster who continues to pretend to be other people, you are becoming more and more unhinged with each post. I’ve enjoyed watching you make an ass of yourself. Why do I have to go “fetch” and expose you as a liar when you do that yourself?
“since the polish prince of penis aka getyr_facts_straight can’t search anymore without looking like he a slave now he is creating new names and posting the same bs over and over again.
i know this because my brother is one of the administrators of this site and he told me they all come from the same ip address.”
From your post April 20, 2010 where you claimed to be “Drew.”
mybiggestcomplaint.com/sandra-rinomato/3708/#comment-15671
Now later:
“hey guys drew here,
i just found out that Sinead85 is actually getyr_facts_straight aka POLISH PRINCE OF PENIS
it’s the same person. Lol……………….
same with the last Melissa post, all the same ip. we really do own this guy. he’s our bitch.”
Eddie on April 26th, 2010 at 8:19 pm
Aha! It’s hilarious that you cannot even be CONSISTENT with your lies. You claim to be “Drew” and have a brother as an admin (which anyone with half a brain knows is entirely false) and then in the post above, you forget to sign it as Drew and instead use the name Eddie that you’ve used before. When you expose yourself as a liar in such a way as you have (numerous times), it pretty much lets people know that almost every other word that comes out of your mouth is nothing but a lie.
You also slipped up in the post below, where you claimed to be “Drew” but accidentally forgot to change the field from “Steve” which you had used in a post right above it.
“drew here,
i detect some serious anger from
getyr_facts_straight aka POLISH PRINCE OF PENIS.
i can’t say i blame him, being out witted and litterally neutralized by a very clever steve and or guest must be very humiliating and dealt him devastating and fatal blow to his ego.

I find it hilarious that you think you’ve outwitted me when you can’t spell AND in the same post you slip up and post under TWO different names, giving everyone more evidence you are doing nothing but lying. How’s that for irony?
Seriously, can you even BREATHE without lying? If any administrator did come on here, he would reveal that every single person you’ve accused me of being in fact has a different IP address and that all your multiple personalities (Drew, “Guest,” Steve, Eddie, etc.) are in fact from the same IP address.
I have not posted under any other name in defense of Sandra so you can stop harassing and accusing Melissa, J. Lugs, Sinead85, Ali Linn and others of being me. I have no need to pretend to be other people to DEFEND Sandra- she has almost 5,000 fans on Facebook alone and a lot of people are tired of you attacking her in such a manner. YOU, on the other hand, have to pretend to be multiple people who hate her because you know that the very few people who actually did have something negative to say about her have long left the board and you are now the lone ranger. So you tried to post under several different names in efforts to make it seems like so many people dislike her because you knew the comments expressing support for her were overwhelming the complaints.
Strawboss, I am sorry you had to come across the workings of a truly insane mind. The majority of these negative posts about Sandra were made by him. He is obsessed with his hatred for her. It is unnatural. The reason he is mocking and attacking me now is because he became angry when I kept exposing him as a liar. I actually found that he was taking negative posts about Sandra from other websites and posting them here under names that were different from the original posts - on multiple occasions. I provided links as proof several times. This caused him to go off the handle and start impersonating me to try to discredit me. That’s why I registered - so people could easily tell when the real “get your facts straight” was posting and not the lunatic impostor. When he realized he couldn’t discredit me in that way, he started telling outright lies on me and making threats towards me, much in the same way he’s done Sandra since he is always talking about the violent things he wants to do to her. Then when that didn’t work, he came up with some childish, retarded vulgar name for me and has been posting it ever since in his latest multiple personalities of Drew, Steve, Guest, Eddie, James/Dean, etc. When he realized that his efforts of taking things from other sites and posting under different names were futile since I had provided links to those posts with the original names, he also started purposely posting things from other sites in efforts to taunt me recently. However, it was only to try to fool people into thinking he was doing it on purpose in the hopes they’d forget about the times he was actually trying to get away with it without being caught. Didn’t work. He is an evil, hateful person who is hellbent on his fultile efforts to get Sandra off the air and I will not let him get away with this at all.
Does Sandra have a green card or is she an illegal alien?
I have a reason to believe she may be in the United States illegally. I can just picture her entering through underground tunnels or slipping through customs disguises as a woman.
These days you can’t be too sure about anything.
She is not a US citizen.

Just look at the long winded over explanation I lured him into writing. I don’t rent space in his head, I own it!
It is I who makes him take precious time out of his day with disinformation and counterfeit oversights or as he calls them slip ups.
Oh Polish Prince, you’re too easy.

“It is I who makes him take precious time out of his day with disinformation and counterfeit oversights or as he calls them slip ups.”
Disinformation? Counterfeit oversights? Seriously, what planet do you live on? It is neither disinformation nor counterfeit oversights when you try to claim “Drew here” and then forget on two occasions to change the Name field from your other personalities of Eddie and Steve. Those are indeed slipups to expose you as a liar and no amount of backpedaling and trying to discredit me or talking in nonsensical circles will change that. You are either so arrogant and/or so deluded that you think you are suave enough to fool people or you are just the dumbest person on the planet. I think you cover all categories.
I don’t mind standing up for what is right. You’re trying to use reverse psychology by saying you own me, I have to take time out of my day to post, blah blah because you hope that it will run me away and that I won’t come back and expose your lies for fear of you “owning” me. Your twisted sense of logic/reverse psychology isn’t working on me, I will continue to point out your lies.
“I knew it! I knew it and now it’s confirmed.
Melissa, J. Lugs, Sinead85 and Ali Linn are in the Polish Prince of Penis’s. AKA getyr_facts_straight.”
Repeating your same lies over and over again doesn’t make them true. The only thing that’s been confirmed is that you are a hateful liar who will stop at nothing to try to destroy the reputation of Sandra Rinomato as well as anyone who dares defend her and call you out as the liar you are.
I’ve had enough. I’m unsubscribing to this thread.
Arguing on the internet is like competing in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you’re still retarded.
GOODBYE!
Strawboss on April 27th, 2010 at 2:54 pm | Link
I just watched an episode where she was pretty harsh on the property virgin for not liking what you were showing her. I feel you need to listen more to your clients and not take it personally when they don’t like what you show them. Please have a bit of patience when working with first time buyers, we are making a very big step in our lives and don’t appreciate your cookie cutter process.
If you read this Sandra I would like to say I think you are a very rude human being and show the worst example of what a professional realtor should act like.
I’m going to go out on the limb here and “guess” your age. Since you play this silly game why can’t I.
Just going by your looks alone I would say your are 50 to 53 years old.
Now, when you take off the several layers of pie crust off your face then my next best guess would be anywhere from 53 to 60 years old.
Before I go I would like to leave all of you fans who think she is the Messiah to think about this.
Ask yourself why you find her show entertaining. Do enjoy watching Sandra chop down young couples with little or no housing experience. If it’s just for the information you can get all of it from the internet without have to listen to her very screechy voice.
But I think the most of your that call yourself fans also enjoy watching the idol consistence get beat up and insulted during the first few week of the show. Her whole show is the devils work and I’ll hove nothing more to do with it.

Hey Polish Prince of Penis,
In case you haven’t noticed your longwinded posts are about 4 times longer than anybody else is on this board. There are no young boys on this site for you to stock so you may as well leave.
I predicted you were still reading these posts everyday and replying under an alias. I was right again wasn’t I Polish Prince of Penis.
Your mine, I own you!
Down to business,
I think the whole process is seriously flawed, and the realtor compensation system completely unfair. In Sandra’s case she doesn’t ever perform the most basic of tasks which is to “show the property” not to stand outside while the birds are crapping all over her head.
Sandra Rinomato is not too bright and is likely to pull numbers out of her ass. A lot goes on behind the scenes, and she bases her advice on data which is easily accessible on the internet. You’ll see her tell buyers to go in high or even above the asking price as she tries to convince them the seller it not going flexible “AT ALL” or they will lose the house to a higher bidder.
In one episode the buyers stuck to their guns and ended up buying the house for 15K less than the asking price.
Sandra Rinomato is pathetic!

To your new personality of “84 years young”:
It’s funny that you say that her show is the “devils work” and that you will have nothing more to do with it, yet you’ve spent the past several months not only posting this original complaint and two other similar ones on this site but have also gone to so much trouble to drum up hatred for Sandra that you’ve posted countless times under several different names.
As I told you before, this is a TV show. Her fans are on the right side of this. You are the one who is spreading evil by being so hateful against this woman and her defenders all the time. You have absolutely no proof that she is the same way professionally in her actual real estate business that you continue to misinterpret her to be on the show. Therefore, you’ve never had any basis to say that she is a horrible realtor. I repeat, it’s a TV SHOW. A reality TV SHOW is different from real life.
YOU need to ask yourself why you are so consumed with such a seething hatred for someone you don’t know and for successful women in general. You refuse to believe this but your posts are actually very transparent, even when you pretend to be others. Your hatred for her is so strong that you rarely ever just post your same recycled rant about how offensive she is on the show or how she “cuts” young couples down, but you are practically foaming at the mouth so much that you have to resort to attacks on her looks, her voice, her clothes, her weight (there is ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with her weight), her age, etc. What also gives you away every single time is the illiteracy you display - not only in your attacks on Sandra but also on others as well. Seriously, do you even read your posts? You hardly make sense half the time. Just look at this: “But I think the most of your that call yourself fans also enjoy watching the idol consistence get beat up and insulted during the first few week of the show.” There are so many things wrong with that sentence that I barely know where to begin. “Idol consistence?” “Most of your that call yourself fans?” Really? You are clearly missing brain cells. Your “Polish Prince of Penis” insult and the illiterate ramblings that come after it make you sound as if you haven’t finished the 5th grade. This is nothing a normal, sane person would say. You need to get help.
I said before that I might understand going to all this trouble if she were someone like Rush Limbaugh but Sandra Rinomato is neither a high profile celebrity nor does she go around intentionally spreading hatred. She tries to help people and no amount of lies from you or accusations against her looks or character will change that. For someone who gloats so much about how he controls me and “makes” me post, here’s news for you: Sandra controls YOU. Sandra has made you post for OVER A YEAR how much you hate her, spend your time coming up with all sorts of slimy schemes and underhanded tactics to try to ruin her on several different websites, including her own blog. Look at all the time and energy you’ve spent trying to do something horrible like ruin her career. At least those of us defending her are trying to do some good. And like someone else said, you hate the show so much, yet you continue to watch all the eps and post under multiple names about how horrible you think she is. Yep, she has complete control over you.
If someone like you is against her, then clearly the woman is doing something right.
As for your personality “Steve,” your words are about to come back to haunt you VERY soon when more proof is revealed. Don’t worry, I’ll make the next post SHORT and SWEET so everyone can see you for the liar you are (more than they have already).
Alright, so it had to come down to this. For the past few weeks, you have impersonated me, committed libel against me, threatened me, taunted me, thrown vulgar, nonsensical insults at me, amongst countless other things.
It’s time you get what you deserve, especially since your latest tactics to try to discredit me are lying (again) and saying that I am all those other posters. When I said yesterday that I have never posted as anyone else in DEFENSE of Sandra, I was telling the truth. However, I do have a confession to make. I did pretend to be someone else once and only once. You wanna know who it was?
Wait…wait for it…
VIRGIN_NO_MORE. You’ve spent so much time gloating and clapping your hands about how you own and control me and what you can make me do when you are the one who fell headfirst into MY trap. I hate that I had to set up that board and pretend to dislike Sandra just to trap you (cops use “reasonable deception” and go undercover all the time to trap criminals), but I think the end will justify the means in providing 100% proof that you are nothing but a manipulative, lying asshole who uses multiple personalities and talks to himself as you try to destroy Sandra and anyone who defends her.
BUSTED. Picture evidence as proof in the post below since this one is getting too long (and the next post actually will be long, so get ready). Game’s up. Show’s over. Continue to harass me and I will post these everywhere else too. Unluckily for you, though, your little childish vulgar insult of “Polish Prince of Penis” that you used so it would come up in google with my username is now only going to point people to your own IP address and proof that you have made the majority of the negative posts here on this website and elsewhere.
I have been monitoring you since the board opened and you registered and made your very first post. Instead of pouncing on you as soon as you registered (you didn’t have to, I would’ve gotten your IP address when you posted your anonymous hatred anyway), I left the board open for over a week now. This was to set up a control - to see not only how often your IP address changed (it didn’t) but also to see if there were any legitimate Sandra haters with undeniably different IP addresses that I could weed out. Guess what? You, just as I suspected, are the lone ranger. The only other posters on there are me in disguise as a Sandra Hater and my friend in disguise as a Sandra hater (she, like Sandra’s nearly 5000 fans on Facebook, adores Sandra and it actually hurt the both of us to say horrid things about her just to trap you). So I apologize dearly for that as I think Sandra is an amazing realtor and a remarkable woman and that’s why I have defended her several times on this blog.
Anyway, enough of my “longwinded” post. Now it’s time for show and tell! All screencaps include your IP address.
First screencap - the day you registered:

Fourth screencap - when you responded to my post signed as “Get your facts straight”
img697.imageshack.us/img697/5181/idiotipaddresstplayer4.jpg
Fifth screencap - when you started your “Worst episodes” topic anonymously as “Anti-Rino” (and if people read back over your posts on mybiggestcomplaint and elsewhere, they will see that is one of your trademarks)
img689.imageshack.us/img689/7237/idiotipaddresstplayer6.jpg
Sixth screencap - I took this yesterday and it shows you talking to yourself on two different occasions as you pretend to “answer” and “agree” with the OP (which was you, IP addresses are all the same):
img687.imageshack.us/img687/5052/idiotipaddresstplayer7.jpg
The first post in the above screenshot was posted here on this very website at the link below when you were using your name “Steve” (oh, and thanks for recently posting with it to attack me and call me “Polish Prince of Penis” because that provides stronger evidence that you are one lunatic with multiple personalities). It starts off with “This is a hard question to answer,” which was initially written to answer the topic “Worst episodes” that you started on my fake Sandra board. You were just so lazy that you posted practically the same thing under Tplayer there that you posted as “Steve” here! I pointed out yesterday when you pretended to be “Drew” and slipped up when you forgot to change the name field from “Steve.”
mybiggestcomplaint.com/sandra-rinomato/3708/#comment-15792
People can also read those posts and see your other trademarks that are all over this board and several others, regardless of how many names you use. You love talking about how you’d like to “kick her in the ass,” “punch her in the face,” “give her what for,” etc. as well as use your same recycled rants about how she’s “phony” and a terrible realtor.
Last but not least, I want everyone to be aware that “Tplayer” is the name you used over a year ago when you made the post below:
millennialland.blogspot.com/2009/03/millennial-man.html?showComment=1238762100000#c4553616540836887247
Does that post look familiar? It’s the SAME POST word for word this idiot posted in the original “anonymous” complaint on this very site, the one that started all this drama and chaos. He also had the nerve to post his drivel on Sandra’s business website blog to harass her.
BTW, these are the results of the IP lookup on this free website, anyone can type in his IP address (69.137.182.199) and you’ll get the following results:
69.137.182.199 US UNITED STATES ARIZONA TUCSON COMCAST CABLE COMMUNICATIONS INC
www.ip2location.com/free.asp
The gig is up. YOU are the one who has been made. Don’t try to lie and say that isn’t your IP address because I waited for over a week and it NEVER changed. If you had been concealing it somehow or using someone else’s, it would’ve come up in an IP search as concealed and it also would’ve varied greatly over the course of that week. It’s yours. Unlike your outright lies of saying that I’m the same poster, I am telling the truth and have PROOF of the things I say. You don’t have any and never will because you know you are doing nothing but lying.
More proof, another screencap of you being obsessively hateful and continually attacking Sandra’s looks with the same pathetic insults you’ve used here and elsewhere:

That is from the “Welcome, everyone!” thread. You posted anonymously in that screenshot.
Its official
“GETYR _FACTS_STRAIGHT AKA the “Polish Prince of Penis” Internet Trolls” has been accepted and is now in the moderation queue. It should appear in the next few days.
I knew he was still reading all the posts but it took a little bit of reverse psychology to get him to raise his ugly head.
In just a couple of days the whole world will know who he is and what we as a group can do about it.
Here is a teaser,
GETYR _FACTS_STRAIGHT AKA the “Polish Prince of Penis”
I know, it made me laugh my ass off too at first but that was before I understood why he does what he does.
Probably a victim of physically, sexually and mentally abused as a child the internet is the only place where he feels safe from the outside world and other imaginary predators.
In reality he himself has become the predator and will no doubt end up being videotaped and aired on Dateline in some kind of sting operation.
Ok,
now that that’s taken care of it’s time to get back to business.
Each night recently as I watched Property Virgins, the couples ALL decided NOT to buy. I’m watching the show because it’s fun to pick out “which one” they WILL buy. If they ALL decide NOT to buy, then why watch the show. Is Sandra really as horrific as everyone says?
I watched for about 10 more minutes. It was just long enough to hear Sandra tell new buyers that because they didn’t like the house she brought them too, they had a lot to learn.
She’s obnoxious, abrasive and condescending. When she’s on, I’ll be changing channels.

“like I said earlier, they had the same ip address. also guest your new complaint is hilarious. i’ll do everything I can to make sure it gets published.
oh man this is getting better every day.”
Yes, it does get better. It got better when you fell right for my trap when I posted as virgin_no_more and I was able to get your IP address AND provide proof of you talking to yourself like you are doing now. You see, the difference between the two of us is that you keep lying and saying that my IP address is the same as those other posters (when it clearly is not since I am not them) but yet I provide proof that you are the one making so many of these negative posts WITH PICTURES AS EVIDENCE. So put your money where your mouth is. If we all have the same IP address, then post evidence that we do. I’ll be waiting here until doomsday because it will never happen - as you can’t provide evidence of something that is false and doesn’t exist. I know you’re lying, it’s been proven that’s all you do, and everyone else with a brain knows, too. Remember your lies earlier under your name of Eddie about how the show had been cancelled?
mybiggestcomplaint.com/sandra-rinomato/3708/#comment-15354
New episodes started airing RIGHT after that. Keep shooting yourself in the foot with your lies.
BTW, I’m hoping you actually did start a complaint to harass me because then I can post the evidence AGAIN of your IP address in all those posts and it won’t be lost in the 100s of comments where you talk to yourself. It will be at the top of the page for everyone to see that you are the one crazy asshole who has been attacking Sandra Rinomato all this time and to these great lengths.
Ignoring the vast amount of evidence that I presented to prove that you are not only a liar but have been talking to yourself and pretending to be all these people (most recently Drew/Guest/James/Dean/Steve/Eddie) is not going to make it go away, nor will it detract from it. The evidence will be there forever. You can call me a bitch, a dog, etc. and talk about how you control me, but like I said, you are the one who fell for MY trap so easily.
Bottom line, you can call me a bitch, a dog, or whatever you want, but while we’re on the subject of control, you are ignoring one major fact: Sandra Rinomato controls you. From your post back in April 2009 under the name of Tplayer to your most recent lunacy, you have been at this for at least over a year. You probably have been at it for two or three years since I came across posts on other sites that sounded exactly like you. Sandra controls you so much that she makes you post all over creation how much you hate her. You can’t stop yourself. Look how much time you’ve devoted on even this complaint site to try to get her fired, although it didn’t work and it won’t work. Look at all the underhanded tactics you’ve resorted to and how far off your rocker you’ve become - from making the original post, attacking me, harassing me and others, talking to yourself, and pretending to be all these people.
If anyone is anyone’s bitch, Sandra has made YOU hers. You will continue to talk to yourself for another 100 or so posts and go from site to site to say you hate her because she owns YOU.

Thanks Drew appreciates the kind words. Since GETYR _FACTS_STRAIGHT AKA the “Polish Prince of Penis IP 69.137.182.199 hasn’t satisfied your commands allow me to show you how it’s done.
I’ve been looking for a website to post a comment. I used to enjoy watching Property Virgins; however I skip past it now. Sandra is so rude and annoying.
She has NO concept of “everyone is different.” She treats each and every buyer the same way. Why would you “start” a couple off in a neighborhood they cannot afford? Seems like you are beginning with a negative.
If the buyer(s) don’t agree with something she says, she insinuates that they are “a true property virgin” or she makes those faces…you all know what I mean.
I can’t fathom watching her anymore. This is a great show, too bad the host is ruining it for so many viewers.

You can backpedal, you can try (and fail) to use reverse psychology, you can lie all you want and say it’s not yours but everyone sane and with a brain knows it’s you. Those above posts show you posting under your handles of “Guest” and “Drew” and saying how you were going to check out and post on my site. You know you were so happy because you FINALLY thought you had someone who shared your intense hatred for Sandra, only to find out yesterday that it was a trap to dupe you (that worked extremely well). You posted there just like you’ve been posting here under multiple personalities with the same recycled rants and everything comes from the same IP address. Dismissing irrefutable evidence or trying to laugh it off to save face won’t help you. Like I said, it’s been over a week and the ONLY IP address posting on the site besides my fake posts and my friend’s fake posts was YOURS and yours alone. If you and “Drew” had been two different people (which everyone knows you’re not since you slipped up before and forgot to sign your name as Drew a couple times) then there would be more than just your IP on that site. What I find most hilarious is how you told me to leave the site because I could get banned when I posted there as “get your facts straight”, when you had no clue it was my site already.
So continue talking to yourself for more months on end. You are so insane that you actually think people cannot see through your lies. Honey, you are the ONLY ONE who is this obsessed with a hatred for Sandra and now me because I exposed you several times and in several different ways for the liar you are. If you actually think anyone reading this site believes you, then you are even more insane than I thought. There is a reason why you have to pretend to be all these people who hate Sandra - you know that any legitimate posters who disliked her have long left the site, made very few posts to begin with, and you are the lone ranger, as you proved when you posted on my website.

Albeit with all the self incriminating evidence you probably won’t need it. He totally implements himself in a total of 5 posts. Talk about the world’s dumbest criminal.
And your right about the IP blocker, although mine just hides behind an IP the software generates.
I’ve been thinking about this troll and decided to put in a friend request for Sandra on facebook. If she accepts and I’m sure she will
I’ll send her the link to the Prince of Penis‘s new website along with a little side note warning her to beware of wolves disguised in sheep’s clothing.
I’ll give her his credentials and user names and then we will see how much she wants and appreciates his support.
About Sandra Rinomato
Has anyone noticed when walking with a couple, her boobs always touching the man as they walk?
They never seem to touch the lady.
She is just terrible. I really do not know how she makes a living. I’ve got to say she takes the prize for being terrible, condescending and beyond reproach with her attitude.
I have to watch it on mute, most of the time, because I cannot handle her negativity.

This is by far the weirdest site I’ve ever seen. Don’t you guys realize on most forums your user name and IP are displayed anyway, it’s usually under your avatar.
You can’t really trace it to an exact address without a subpoena. Well; at least that’s how it was 3 years ago I’m sure someone has invented new software by now, who knows and who cares.
I want to mention that Sandra is already aware of some of the criticism received from her critics over the years. I’ve been watching since day one and she has toned it down quite a bit. In real life real estate sales are really not very exciting to watch and just like any other reality show I’m sure the producers were just looking for a way to spice things up a bit.
That being said, a foxy blond selling houses in a bikini may have been a better choice. There is also another Canadian show featuring an attractive young woman who helps couples find apartments to rent. I don’t recall the name of the show off hand but the host is very beautiful, nice smile so forth and so on.
Do I think Sandra is rude and condescending as people say on this board? Sometimes but not on every show. I did see one episode which really bothered me.
Does she cross the ethical lines of real estate protocol? I’m on the fence with this one but I’ve seen much worse.
Her voice and physical appearance? She is as God made her but………….. I agree for her body type and age she might want to consider going up a size. Not everyone considers a gap between your two front teeth to be a crisis but it is correctable.
I did want to complain about one thing in particular but I can see it’s already been covered numerous times so I’ll just end here.
Regards

Sandra’s condescending and talks down to her clients over and over again.
I just watched an episode where she had to the nerve to make a rude comment about how they were able to spend.
She also has a very bad habit of asking people how they were able to come up with their down payment which is none of damn business.
This type of behavior is unbelievably inappropriate.

I have changed the name of the fake board created to trap this lunatic from rinomato_sucks to rinomato_rocks. Although the purpose of catching him (100% legally since admins/mods have full access to the IP addresses of all posters) has been served, I am leaving it up for proof so admins of other websites can cross-check. There is no reason to leave it as rinomato_sucks when it was never actually intended to be a board to trash her but only to catch him red-handed in his numerous attacks on her.
To the lunatic above who continues to post his mass hatred of Sandra Rinomato under several different names because he thinks he is still clever enough to trick people, you can and will continue to make another 100, possibly 200 posts because you are so consumed by your hatred for this woman. Knock yourself out. You are only piling up more evidence against YOU and proving that Sandra has complete control over you to drive you to this deranged point.
“I’ve been thinking about this troll and decided to put in a friend request for Sandra on facebook. If she accepts and I’m sure she will
I’ll send her the link to the Prince of Penis‘s new website along with a little side note warning her to beware of wolves disguised in sheep’s clothing.”
The only reason you want to do that is so that you can continue to harass her. But go ahead and send her the link. I’m about to copy/paste the proof I posted here over there so everyone can see that it’s you who is the one lone moron who talks to yourself, posts under multiple names, and has gone out of his way to try to get this woman fired. If Sandra does see the site, she will be able to get her own website admin to cross-check the IP address you used when you harassed her on her blog under “dellpepper” (it’s the same rant you posted here in your original hateful complaint about her).
rinomato.com/cgi-bin/ebb/blog2/index.php?action=viewcomments&pid=2&showcat=0
Just to inform you, nothing on the internet is EVER really anonymous. It doesn’t matter whether you try to use a proxy or you are using your real IP address, authorities always have a way to trace it back to the actual person.
Not only have you made threats against me, harassed me, and committed libel against me on this board, but if it’s in fact true what you said under your username “Eddie” about forwarding these nasty complaints to Sandra on a regular basis, that falls under harassment and spam/unsolicited email and is a crime. You also have said on a regular basis your desire to do violence to her or to see violence done to her, and the website I set up to catch you shows you making these same threats there.
BTW, you proved without a doubt that it was you when you posted the exact same thing under your handle of “Steve” on this website that you posted on my fake board under the name of Tplayer.
Your post as Steve here:
mybiggestcomplaint.com/sandra-rinomato/3708/#comment-15792
Screenshot of your post as Tplayer there (word for word as you posted at Steve):
img687.imageshack.us/img687/5052/idiotipaddresstplayer7.jpg
I don’t care how many names you use, you are the only one who is so consumed with a hatred for Sandra AND who came up with such a vulgar childish name like “Polish Prince of Penis,” which you use in every post you make against me to harass me, no matter which name you choose.
Anyway, link to board with name change:
s1.zetaboards.com/rinomato_rocks/forum/1532505/
Continue to dig that hole deeper.
PS, the only real “wolf in sheep’s clothing” would be you because by sending her the link to the forum and trying to “warn” her about wolves in sheep’s clothing, you are pretending to be concerned for her when it’s YOU who actually trashes her reputation, has expressed wanting to see harm done to her, and has tried to lobby people to get her fired.
You’re so stupid, though, that you don’t know this. She would easily be able to read the evidence posts I’ve compiled against you, click the links referencing this site, see you posting all these nasty things about her AND see that you made the post below saying you were going to send her the link to my forum:
mybiggestcomplaint.com/sandra-rinomato/3708/#comment-15896
In that very same post you trash and lie on her and expose yourself as the true wolf in sheep’s clothing:
“About Sandra Rinomato
Has anyone noticed when walking with a couple, her boobs always touching the man as they walk?
They never seem to touch the lady.
She is just terrible. I really do not know how she makes a living. I’ve got to say she takes the prize for being terrible, condescending and beyond reproach with her attitude.
I have to watch it on mute, most of the time, because I cannot handle her negativity.”
You also make ANOTHER clear threat against me when you say under your name of “Steve” that you have reason to ruin my life:
“Getyr_facts_straight aka the Polish Prince of Penis lacks a disciplined mind and scores well below average on the emotional intelligence quiz. He is beneath me and there is reason to ruin his life over Sandra Rinomato.”
In that same comment, by saying you have reason to ruin my life OVER Sandra Rinomato, you are also saying that you wanted to ruin hers as well, but now your desire to ruin mine is stronger than your previous (and continued) desire to try to ruin hers.
mybiggestcomplaint.com/sandra-rinomato/3708/#comment-15911
You are angry with me because I exposed you for the liar you are, proved that it was you going from site to site and making all these negative posts about her, and prevented you from getting away with it. But nothing you say or do will ever discredit me because the truth far outweighs your repeated lies.
What about this don’t you get? EVERYTHING CONNECTS BACK TO YOU - both through IP address and the things you’ve copied word for word, even when you tried to impersonate me and others to discredit us.
I would like to say a thing or two. A couple years ago I wrote a letter to HDTV to complain about the rudeness and arrogant tone of Sandra’s voice.
I would normally not go through the trouble of writing a letter of this nature but in this case I made an exception.
I explained there is a difference between entertainment and someone who is just out to belittle first time home buyers with condescending and often rude remarks.
About a week later I got an email from the show and was told they were aware of the problem and had received hundreds of letters and complaints.
They assured me that all the complaints including mine were taken very seriously and were also forwarded to Coldwell Banker.
The left me with the impression that Sandra had been reprimanded more than once and have decided to reduce the number of shows beginning in 2010. This would explain why I’ve only seen 1 or 2 new shows and the year is almost half over.
I’m glad they are responding to our complaints and are fully aware the negative feedback posted all over the internet.

You just slipped up AGAIN and proved further that you are the same person talking to yourself and that Drew/Guest/Steve/Eddie/James/Dean/countless others are all YOU. You already slipped up earlier by claiming to be Drew twice but you forgot to change the name field from Steve and subsequently Eddie in the posts below:
mybiggestcomplaint.com/sandra-rinomato/3708/#comment-15793
mybiggestcomplaint.com/sandra-rinomato/3708/#comment-15821
Now you’ve tripped over your own lies even more when you claimed under “Guest” that you were filing a complaint to continue to harass me but then up there at “Steve,” you tell “Guest” that it won’t be necessary because you’ve withdrawn your complaint. When you tell so many lies, you get confused and they all start running together and you lose track of previous ones you’ve told. That proves that you were the same poster all along. As I said multiple times anyway, you posted the same thing at Steve as you did as Tplayer on my site, so everything links back to proving that you are the one lone ranger with a rabid hateful obsession for Sandra Rinomato.
“I would like to say a thing or two. A couple years ago I wrote a letter to HDTV to complain about the rudeness and arrogant tone of Sandra’s voice. ”
I still don’t get how you are so stupid that you repeatedly make the mistake under your multiple names of saying you will write in to HDTV to try to get her fired. It’s HGTV, you idiot. And you try to claim that I am intellectually beneath you? Oh, please, do not make me laugh!
Also, stop your lies. They have not cut the number of episodes, but like many shows, they show different blocks of episodes throughout the year as they are filmed and as they have room for them in the schedule. She hasn’t finished filming for the entire year and just like last year, several more episodes will be seen at later points in the year. You tried to lie earlier and say the show had been cancelled, now you are coming up with more lies since the new episodes airing disproved your statements.
Yep, keep digging that hole for yourself with your shovel of lies and deceit.
Proof that Elena=Steve=Guest:
“I’ve been watching this show for about a year now for the sole purpose of price shopping in the Toronto area.
I can’t believe how little you get for the money compare to the US. Regarding the show I don’t think HDTV or Coldwell bank made the best choice for the host.
I do intend to compose a strongly worded letter and register a complaint to both HDTV and Coldwell Banker.
Peace out…..”

Regardless of the handle you use, you make the mistake EVERY SINGLE TIME of saying you will write or have written to “HDTV” to get Sandra Rinomato fired. Goodness, you are just the most ignorant person on the block. How can you be so stupid?
I could understand the typo ONCE, but all those times proves that it’s you, liar.
You are also “Duane,” except instead of saying that I failed the “emotional intelligence” test, you said Sandra failed it.
“Sandra has failed the emotional intelligence test big time. All these people can’t be imagining all this Drama. Sandra, you are a horrible realtor and a low class bitch .”

Then your attacks later:

Speaking of the devil she’s a little too self-important for my taste and a loud Rachel Ray type.
She encourages people to borrow more than they are comfortable with, and will probably end up living beyond their means.
With her personality? Obviously it wasn’t real estate she had to sell a lot of to get the part.”

You keep forgetting when you use the same phrases over and over again, which makes you easily identifiable.
I’m so glad I found this site. It seems like its more current than some of the others.
My biggest complaint is all the phony drama she comes up with to make things appear more desperate than they really are.
I think her biggest fear is looking bad on TV. It’s like if she doesn’t sell a house it means she isn’t any good. It’s just too bad her vanity and pride is always at the expense of the buyers.
Teacher on May 1st, 2010 at 9:36 pm | Link
Steve,
It’s done.
Not sure how you got it but thanks for the information and address .
Did you ever see the movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger called Total Recall? There was a scene where he disguised himself as a woman but when his cover was blown he removed his robotic head and tossed it into the arms of one of the bad guys.
The head although detached opened its eyes and said “Get ready for a big surprise” and then boom!
One more thing. How did you find out he had (NPD)?
Sandra Rinomato looks plastic sort of like these women who are in charge of PTA meetings. They have their head so far up someone’s rear to just to advance to the next level of success as they perceive it.
She’s an embarrassment to the real estate industry.
My name is getyr_facts_straight AKA THE POLISH PRINCE OF PENIS and I approve this message.
Guest on May 2nd, 2010 at 11:05 am | Link
I said in a post a few weeks ago when I first registered that you would be crazy enough to probably register with a username similar to mine and that you would even steal my icon to continue to impersonate me. Now you have, but it’s just futile on your part.
You’re still not clever enough. It doesn’t pay to lie.
MY handle is “getyr_facts_straight.” Yours is “getr_facts_straight.” I said then that you would not be able to register with the exact same username, and people can still tell us apart.
To everyone else, when you see a post that has that icon, look carefully at the handle. If it has “getR” instead of “getyr,” it’s him.
To you, psychopath: continue to harass me, impersonate me, and tell lies. You will not stop the truth and you will not discredit me by impersonating me, harassing me, or lying on me. Don’t quit your day job, moron, although I’m sure you don’t have one with all the time you spend thinking of new underhanded tactics to bash Sandra and to attack me.
You are not going to stop the evidence against you or the truth about you from being exposed. With each underhanded post you make or tactic you use, you prove what I have been saying all along - you are a lunatic who will stop at nothing to try to ruin Sandra Rinomato’s life and anyone who spends time defending her.
BTW, NOTHING on my website is illegal even though you tried to post yesterday with some fake warning about exploitation and how it was under investigation. Please. You failed at lying again. You thought you were being clever by learning how to use a proxy, but as I did a search, it revealed that you were using the proxy and I posted proof of that. It is 100% legal to obtain the IP addresses of posters when you are an admin of the website. In fact, ALL people who run forums have automatic access to the IP addresses of posters.
Again, when you see getR_facts_straight instead of getYR (mine), know that it is this deranged moron impersonating me and trying to squash the truth about himself.
Dear Steve/Guest/Eddie/Bev/Teacher/Elena/Mario/Marilyn/David/Jackie…. still missing about 40ish (that we know of). You are a douchebag. Yes, we’ve had this conversation before. You are a douchebag of the highest order. And so incredibly stupid. Really. You continue to out do your own stupidity. Congratulations.
The “rinomato_sucks” board was not shut down you ****tard. It was set up just to trap you. Get that through your thick skull. Now it has been changed to this - “rinomato_rocks”.
And I’m so glad getYR_facts_straight set up this trap. Sandra is a wonderful person, and I’m glad someone is teaching a sniveling little **** like you not to mess with them/her. getYR_facts_straight warned you time and time again, but you just wouldn’t listen. You deserve everything you’ve got so far, and will continue to get in future.
This guy is worse off than I thought. Sorry Prince, no can do. You will always be the Polish Prince of Penis.
Guest,
I assume you were accepted as Sandra’s friend on face book. Good job. . Remember be nice.
One thing I would like to point out is the way Sandra always tries to emphasize that her buyers are the ones responsible for meeting her in a neighborhood they can’t afford in the begging of the show.
She will say something like, “so wyjabring me here?”
I sure hope the viewers realize that this part of the show is scripted and is only intended to make the first time home buyers look inadequate and uninformed. What I like is when she asks them to “guess” the price of a house and they are right on the money.
This prevents Sandra from being able to use the scenario as a tactic to gain an edge.
I expect she uses the same approach in her own sales as well.
Steve on May 3rd, 2010 at 8:30 am | Link
You seriously think “getYR_facts_straight” and I are the same person? This is rich, coming from the same person who has multiple personalities on this site. You impersonated “getYR_facts_straight” and 19 short minutes later posted as “Steve”. And YOU have the cheek to accuse me and “getYR_facts_straight” of being the same person? REALLY? Dude, I knew you were dumb but this just takes the biscuit. Again, you impersonated “getYR_facts_straight”. Or had another botched attempt: “getr_facts_straight”. And you’re trying to say that we’re the same person? If you had an ounce of intelligence, you’d see that our writing styles are completely different. We might think alike and be a helluva lot more intelligent than you, but I assure you, we are not the same person. We are two incredibly different people who just happen to see you for the troll that you are.
Once again, you ****tard, the website USED TO SUCCESSFULLY TRAP YOU was not shut down. It’s name was simply changed from “rinomato_sucks” to “rinomato_rocks”. See now, the thing is, you already know this. Yes, you (or one of your personalities) are “Tplayer”, a registered user on the site.
Also, how many times do you need to be told. *speaks in a slower voice and over pronounces words so you, the retard, will understand* “Property. Virgins.” Is. A. TELEVISION. SHOW. Y’know that part that you hate so much? Wait you hate all of it. The beginning, where she brings couples to a neighborhood they can’t afford. That’s all for the cameras. The couple are obviously aware of this beforehand. It probably wasn’t even Sandra’s idea. Cause guess what? Sandra is not in charge of the show! Sandra is a front for the show, mainly because she has about 13 years of experience in the real estate business. In the US, Sandra does not get a commission for the houses she “shows” said Property Virgin. Several people have already told you that licensed realtors are the ones who actually show the houses and deal with the sale. In Canada, Sandra’s company deals with the sale.
I am so sick and tired of having to deal with you on a daily basis. That being said, I’m not willing to give up on having you banned from this site and reported to the relevant authorities.
To Mr. Deranged “getr_facts_straight on May 3rd, 2010 at 8:11 am”:
Why do you waste your time impersonating me when people can easily tell us apart? getR does not equal getYR and my username is getyr_facts_straight. Yours is not and never will be so it doesn’t matter how many complaint sites you post on that YOU created.
Also, you continue to lack reading comprehension problems. My website is not shut down and nothing there is illegal, but I changed the name since the “sucks” part no longer fit. It was done to catch you red-handed and it worked, and this is why you’re going even more off the deep end. You don’t like it when your lies are exposed and I have already proven that you, Steve, Guest, Eddie, James/Dean, Drew, and various others are all the same person harassing me and harassing Sandra.
s1.zetaboards.com/rinomato_rocks/forum/1532505/
It doesn’t matter if you post there under your real IP address or if you post using a proxy, I will still be able to trace it back and it will tell me if you’re using a proxy. All of this is 100% legal and is set up to catch people like you who commit actual internet crimes (so far yours are repeated harassment and libel). Let’s not forget that you continue to break the rules of this website by impersonating me.
And to your other personality, “Steve,” you still don’t get that your lying doesn’t work. Sandra’s page is set up as a fan page because she is a public figure. It is not a personal page so she doesn’t accept anyone as “friends.” So you won’t be able to harass her in secret like you plan on doing.
You know there are many reality shows out there showcasing some kind of real estate business but I can’t think of one other than property virgins where the agent is so openly insulting to the clients.
I think the other poster is right about cutting back on the number of shows and I hope Sandra will see some of these posts. Only then will she realize just how many people are outraged.

Welcome to the site Starting Point!
Let me introduce myself. My username is getyr_facts_straight but my friends call me the Polish Prince of Penis. I also go by Sinead85, Strawboss, Melissa, J. Lugs, make meh lulz, Ali Linn, Virgin no more, Stine, Tammi Cashen just to name a few.
I know what you’re thinking but I have narcissistic personality disorder or NPD for short.
Regarding Sandra I know just what you’re talking about Starting Point and don’t worry, you’re not alone. There is nobody on national TV worse than Sandra Rinmato.
I guess this shows how little the Polish Prince knows. Not only was I accepted but I have been able to make personal contact with Ms. Rinomato.
Thanks to Steve, the little script he wrote and the all those screen shots I was able to put together a nice little informational package for her.
Just because his illegal website was shut down doesn’t mean it’s really gone, if you know what I mean.
Yes,
Welcome to our show Starting Point. Glad to have you on board.
Guest on May 4th, 2010 at 1:42 pm | Link
Thank you guy for bringing out the welcome wagon.
I’m not sure what to think of it by thanks anyway.
Unfortunately I don’t think I’m going to post here anymore. I really just wanted to see if there was a reply. Besides this seems to be more about who is who rather than who is Sandra Rinomato.
Un asked I will give you my opinion. People have been criticizing the show since it first started running I believe in 2007. There are hundreds of posts all over the internet trashing talking Sandra some over 3 years old and I doubt very seriously that one person is responsible for all those threads and posts.
Weather you write an original current opinion or bring one over from another site either way it’s perfectly acceptable.
Just go on to any forum and you’ll see links and quotes from other sites all over the thread.
Even less important is who it is. At best all you’ll get is an IP and a username. Then what are you going to do? Write it on the side of your car?
Assuming both of the people accusing each other are right it would mean that only two people are posting on this thread and all you are doing is talking to each other. I would be the third wheel unless of course I’m accused of being one person or the other.
How stupid is that?
Personally I think there were many posters here but they all left because of two knuckleheads that won’t move on.
I don’t mind admitting that I’m a 26 year old woman and a professional. I don’t care who anybody thinks I am.
I don’t like Sandra Rinomato and usually just watch the program on mute. The show would be much better if she was replaced with someone with a sweeter and more professional demeanor.
I’m out of here.
Starting Point on May 4th, 2010 at 10:47 pm | Link
Drew here,
found this one while browsing. i love it.
We used to really like this show…Sandra would help them get a low price.
But now, it seems like it is a mouthpiece for realtors…first bids over list (???) and the show makes it look like people tour 3 properties then buy (that would minimize the work of realtors, wouldn’t it?).
Remember back when these shows would have a label on the screen showing the total number of houses toured? I haven’t seen that in a few seasons…now it looks like everyone tours three and buys (shoot, we look at triple digits before we buy!).
Even Sandra’s wardrobe isn’t as appealing as it used to be…she used to dress very provocatively.
Maybe she should do a show about people like us who’ve bought a lot of homes. They can call it Property Sluts.

I think Sandra over does it with her “my job is to do this and my job is to do that” little spiel. She actually does very little from what I can see.
She doesn’t show the house properly, she makes the buyers guess the price, I’m thinking because she didn’t know it herself and makes and receives phony cell phone calls.
I mean, what does she really do? Show comps? Her only real concern is to not look bad in front of the camera and closing the deal at any cost.

All I can say is what a annoying voice! You’ve got to be kidding me. Why the hell would HGTV put her on the air. I swear she sounds so weird. By the end of the show you just want to turn the TV off for a while.

This site is great. I’ve been wanted to get this off my chest for a long time. I also wrote a letter to HGTV pretty much with the same complaint. Is this bitch for real? I’ve never seen anything like it in my life.
What really sticks in my craw is how she hopes they guess too high so she can then come back with the lower actual price acts like they are getting a deal.
So if I guess too high it means that anything less is a is a good deal. Bullshi_t!
This bitch needs to walk her fat ass off the air.
Candy on May 22nd, 2010 at 8:29 pm | Link
Sandra is one of the most in demand realtors in the area…the point of the show is to expose the typical thoughts of a first time buyer, not to simply document a typical buying experience. It is a TV show, after all. She doesn’t just sell every single house that way.

So let me get this straight. You say the Rino is the most sought after realtor because she happened to force her way into an insignificant part on the show Property Virgins?
So Canadians like to pay more than the houses are worth, have your realtor use gimmicks to lure you into a sale and constantly be lied to.
I thought Canadians were smarter than that but I guess I was wrong. I think it’s all about bragging rights.
Oh Sandra Rinomato found this house for us. It’s’ not what we wanted and we had to pay 10,000 dollars over our budget but hey, I got her autograph and one for my sister who lives in Florida.
Sickening.

Candy: I’m sure your white trash porn star name lent special weight to your letter to HGTV. I’m sure they care what you think, considering you represent the demographic of watchers whose homebuying experience consists of taking the pickup and the 7 kids down to the local trailer park.
Tasha: You’re so ignorant because you’re American? lol
Sandy Rino: Find a better plastic surgeon. The one you’ve got is doing you dirty.

My wife watches this show but I always leave the room. It only took one episode to turn me off to this phony boloney Sandra Rinomato. There is no way she could be a real realtor. Not with that voice, not with her looks and certainly not with her overbearing pushy sales tactics.
Sandra Rinomato is a cheat and a liar.

Hey Raju,
I fully agree with your idealism. Someone should put a bag over Sandra’s head along with duck tape across her mouth. Agreed we don’t saw off fingers or toes but we do have the internet which provides the perfect forum to oust the dictator.
There is one thing I would like to make perfectly clear. Sandra the Rino is “not an American” and does not represent the typical western women. She is loud, overbearing, rude, condescending, ugly, un-lady like and has the most annoying hideous voice I have ever heard.
We watch for the same reason you might watch a horror film. Shock Value!
Were ever you are from when you leave please take Sandra back with you and inject your version of discipline and while you’re at it take Mary Murphy too. Until then, stay focused and keep posting.

You guys can’t see that this show is all staged, set up, made for TV thing…..just another show to put on HGTV, along with all the other ones, TO MAKE MONEY!!!!! They wanted someone who would be aggressive and look the part of a go getter realtor. Everything about it is staged, from the beginning where they walk through the “dream” neighborhood, to the final offer. I only watch House Hunters. At least you do get to see that they actually did buy a home and put their own touches to it, makes it more believable.
Lillian on June 20th, 2010 at 10:01 pm | Link
Nice comments, I think we all realize this is mostly staged but let’s be clear about something. Sandra was not supposed to get this part as the host. She bullied her way in just like she bullies the first time home buyers.
In fact if you read one of her blogs you will see that the producers had thrown her interview tape into the trash or the rejection pile.
But there was someone on the inside, (probably banging Sandra) who convinced them to take a second look at her tape and reconsider.
They agreed but after just a few seconds the senior producer said, “Are you kidding? She’s hideous!)
It goes on to say that this man practically had to beg them to give her a chance and went on to say “she was a very tough sell.”
So it is with no surprise that most viewers feel the same way when they see her on TV.
SHE’S HIDEOUS!
I happen to know for a fact the producer who fished Sandra’s interview tape out of the trash and forced it through has since been fired leaving HGTV full of regrets.
Don’t kid yourself, it took bribes and kick backs to get Sandra into that spot and all we can do is to keep up the pressure and hope to run her off like the dog she is.

Wow, these certainly seem to be some very strong opinions (and you’re all entitled to them) about a television show. Everyone keeps asking why she shows prospective buyers homes in the beginning they can’t afford and why she stays outside while they tour the homes they actually CAN afford. While this practice is sometimes annoying, people seem to be actually demonizing her for doing this, but the reason is very simple:
Because THAT’S THE SHOW. It’s not necessarily HER rules for how thing should proceed, it’s HGTV’s show, Sandra just works for them and that’s how HGTV wants THEIR show done. They have to do something to differentiate that show from the other home-buying HGTV shows. Do you really think Sandra’s making all the rules? She’s a host who is also a Realtor, so she does have some unique advice/suggestions on first-time home buying and how property virgins tend to look at the cosmetic repairs needed in a home, instead of looking at the bones of the structure, the long-term investment potential and what can be fixed for a price cheaper than the cost of a more expensive home. These are important points and some times the buyers featured are unwilling to look past superficial imperfections. It IS her job as a Realtor to get them to see the potential and sometimes I get the feeling that she has been gentle with no results and needs to be a little more insistent to get the message through to some buyers. Sure, sometimes she can be a little condescending and patronizing and that’s not appropriate, but it does appear that she’s had some awareness of that issue and has improved. What really surprises me when I read all of these nasty comments is how vehement some of you are and how incredibly hostile people can be to someone who’s just doing their job - on television. If you don’t like the show, why do so many of you spend so much time watching it, analyzing her behavior and making very vicious comments about her weight and unsubstantiated claims about substance abuse?
I hate the guy on that show “House”, so instead of spending my free time writing about all the things he does that piss me off, I just don’t watch him.

OMG - What is this, a whining blog spot for 16 year olds? Sandra is a gorgeous mature woman who has a great personality to boot. If you can’t deal with what a real woman looks like, maybe it’s time to stop looking at Internet porn all day? But if skinny, tattooed skanks with fake boobs are you thing, there’s plenty of that on MTV for you to stare at.
As far as her show is concerned: I don’t know how much of it is staged or not, but she does force a bunch of ignorant first-time home buyers to face reality and focus on what’s important when buying a house.
Florida_kes on June 24th, 2010 at 12:09 pm | Link
I just saw an episode where the buyers made it clear they did not want to go above 145K. The first house Sandra shows them was around 154K. The second house she showed them was 156K. And the last home they saw was about the same.
Each time she grudging revealed the price of the house the couple just looked at each other like what part of 145K did you not understand bitch.
About her looks,Sandra has these huge thunder thighs which look even worse when she tried to squeeze all that tonnage into a pair of tight jeans. To make it worse she has these abnormal wrinkles all around her lips which even a professional makeup artist can’t hide.
That aside she is the most awful realtor I’ve ever seen.
CaliforniaRocks on June 24th, 2010 at 12:41 pm | Link
I’m not buying it!
Sandra may not have any say in the format of the show but she can diffidently do something about her arrogant and piss poor attitude. I just saw an episode where the buyers made it clear they wanted a house with a garage.
So what does she do? Show them 2 houses without a garage and suggest the build one for 10K or re-convert a room back into a garage for several thousand dollars.
And who’s going to pay for that Sandra. You?
She stands there in the kitchen and literally argues with the buyer in a very condescending tone about the size of the lot.
Let me tell you something. If anyone on my staff EVER spoke on a client like that they would be out on their ass so fast they wouldn’t know what hit them.
Sandra Rinomato will never change. If you watch her closely you can see the anger and hate in her eyes when things don’t go her way.
Salesgroup on June 25th, 2010 at 4:22 pm | Link
I really hope Sandra’s real estate style is for entertainment purposes only. If it’s not, there is a serious problem here. I also hate the term property virgins, especially when Sandra refers to her clients as virgins. That word should not be thrown around so casually. HGTV should be ashamed. Her clothes are too tight and she looks like she she is trying to be 25 instead of 55, ( I am not sure of her real age, I am just making a point)
I don’t get the part in the beginning either when she takes them to a neighborhood they could never afford..
floridacantstandSandra on June 25th, 2010 at 4:27 pm | Link
Seriously people. As it was said before. It is a TV show. Get real. If you hate her appearance or her voice or how she is perceived on the show, then like the other folks have said, QUIT WATCHING THE SHOW. Did you seriously only watch one show and develop such a hateful attitude to someone you have never met in your life? Is that the kind of people we have become today. Make rude and slanderous remarks about someone you have never met and know absoultely nothing about all becaue of some pre-scripted reality TV show.
As far as the show goes, it’s not a bad show and face it, the families or folks who signed up for the show know what they are getting into when they submitted the application. I’m quite sure that the show’s creators determined what Sandra would be doing while filming before they hired her. I seriously doubt that this is her style of “selling real estate”, she is just the actor and it’s just a paycheck. Any intelligent person should be able to make the connection between reality TV show and reality, if they can’t then please don’t let them play any violent video games.
As far as showing these people an unrealistic neighborhood before they begin their search to as some said “diminish their hopes” of getting into such a neighborhood, these people already know that this is coming, and if they really thought they could get into a home in those neighborhoods, then they need the sad reality and shouldn’t be buying a home in the first place. Get real.
And really, how big of a deal is it that she does or does not go through the house with them initially? Sometimes I wish my first agent would have stayed out when I initially viewed a house. She drove me nuts trying to sugar coat all the negatives just to get the sale. Sandra does not sugar coat anything, all I do see, is her give very useful information, especially to folks on a tight budget, on quality homes that need some TLC to gain a better investment in the long run. And really, why comment about the fact that they have to guess the price.. Again, it’s all part of the show and how the show works. I like how it makes people think about the reality of how much homes cost in areas that they want to live in with all their unrealistic expectations. If she told them how much the house is before hand then they would walk through with an already negative attitude about the price and would pick it apart and then would say, I wouldn’t pay this much for this house. Really? Having them walk through before telling them the price gives these people a chance to assess on their own what value they place on the house first, then when the price is revealed they are either totally appalled, or pleasantly surprised. And if appalled then they realize that perhaps they need to modify their expectations either by location or desired ammenties, or they increase their budget to get what they want. The whole point of this show is to snap these uneducated people into the real reality of home buying. She only shows them homes that have potential and trys to open their eyes to the potential. And as for her comments that she makes when they give her their opinion of the home, seriously, you think that she ends it with a “really”. Is it so hard to comprehend that maybe because it is a 30 minute show it might be a little more difficult to emit all of the conversation that the buyers and Sandra have. If you want to complain about anything, try complaining about the bad editing that so called “depicts” Sandra as some ragging bitch. I’m sure there are far more spoken details that are not shown because it is only a 30 minute show.
And BTW. Sandra was selected out of hundreds of well established realtors to host the show. I would have to say that she is doing something right even if you disagree. But you should know her before you judge her. Instead of feeding into the negativity of others, try doing a little research before hand.
I also love how people automatically comment and say “oh, the shows PR people must be trying to do some damage control”. As if their hateful ideas are the reality and there is no way others might actually have a different opinion then theirs.. Do you really think the PR people care what you do or say? If they thought they were going to lose money by employing Sandra they would have either found a new real estate agent or cancelled the show already.
The moral of the story is: if you don’t like Sandra or whatever your reason’s are, fine don’t like her, have your little hate club, but for gods sake quit watching the damn show and get a life. It is reason to believe you probably hate your own life so you wish to bully others to make yourself feel better and that makes me want to pity you.
Hatingispetty on July 6th, 2010 at 9:36 pm | Link
Reading this comments it appears to me that this is an actual real estate agent, broker or realtor; specially asking her to stay out of the US. I actually wish to have the opportunity of looking at a property without the agent taking every second trying to get on my head asking for my resume and telling me what I want. And yes, Property Virgins is a SHOW, a TELEVISION SHOW. Lots of RE Agents and so on and also Mortgage Brokers just sold the dream to so many who today have lost their homes, it is refreshing to see how humor today can save you “seriously” tomorrow.
Jake on July 7th, 2010 at 6:51 pm | Link
One thing is for sure. More and more it’s beginning to sound like Sandra herself is replying to some of these complaints. First off let’s be clear about a few things.
People who can’t stand Sandra will still tune in if for nothing else the “shock & awe” of watching a hideous thing. A good example is along Interstate 10 just outside of Tucson where there is a building that supposedly contains a prehistoric monster they call “The Thing”
People will come from all over the country, line up by the hundreds and pay 1 dollar just to see something so grotesque it’s hard to even look at it.
The same principle applies here. Word is out there is a hideous looking overweight woman in skin tight jeans, with a screechy cartoon like voice selling real estate. She bullies her clients into buying houses they can’t really afford and uses trickery tactics on unsuspecting first home buyers.
Of course people are going to be interested.
On the topic of down playing the negitives Sandra is the worst offender. In fact Sandra does sugar coat the negatives by using diversions and by suggesting expensive and unrealistic solutions.
Example: A couple wants a house with a garage. Not the potential for a garage or a converted garage but a real life bona fide garage. Now is that so hard to understand. It seems simple enough. You would think so but not in Sandra’s case.
She shows them not 1 but 2 houses with “NO” garage and suggests in one case for only 10 grand they can build one. What? The buyer expresses a concern about the size of the lot not looking big enough to add on a garage and Sandra in a very condescending tone stares down the woman and with her wrinkled lips twisted in grotesque triumph says’ “I’M TELLING YOU! THE LOST IS BIG ENOUGH”!
He husband stood there so shocked he couldn’t even reply.
I could go on all day long with endless examples of even more outrageous behavior but it’s best to see it for yourself. This is not the only forum in which people are fed up with Sandra Rinomato there are all over the internet. Even in her own blogs.
No, I’m afraid it is not us who got it wrong but the minority of fools who think it’s ok to openly criticize inexperienced buyers, using bulling and trickery devices to land a sale.
Let’s not forget Sandra was rejected and was pushed through by a person with a special interest.

Seeing the same negative posts coming into my email over and over and OVER about her leads me to believe that someone has a giant frakkin chip on their shoulder about her.
Perhaps a woman of an age with Sandra who looks even worse and is jealous that some people find Sandra attractive?
Perhaps a man of an age with Sandra who knows that he could never score tail like that?
Perhaps a gay man who is jealous that Sandra’s getting more dick than him?
Perhaps someone who wishes they could buy a house that didn’t come preassembled and/or mobile?
Perhaps someone who really needs a new ****ing hobby instead of just bitching on this site thinking that they’re actually going to make a difference about something?
Dear sir or madam,
You’ll never make a difference. You never have, you never will. In anything in your life.
Kill yourself.

Don’t forget that Sandra’s tape was rejected. It’s only been mentioned about 172 times in this ****string. I was afraid someone might forget.
I don’t even like Sandra, but I hate idiots more than assholes, so my hatred for the dumb **** who has wasted time posting like 30 different posts pretending to be different people wins.

Sandra is great! SHE doesn’t pick where to meet the clients, the clients choose their most desired neighborhood. Sandra is all about getting people to think realistically about real estate, and from the get-go she shows people what is realistic and attainable for them- and what is not. She is also limited to what’s available in the market at that given time. You can’t always find the perfect house, so you have to show them alternatives, and the thing is, Sandra knows that 1st time homebuyers don’t always know what they want- they may think they do, but they have to be exposed to different options to truly know. How many times on that show has Sandra shown her people some alternative options that made the client realize they actually wanted something else? I have never, not once, seen Sandra pull trickery to get someone to buy a house they can’t afford. If the clients go over their initial budget, it was their own decision. That could happen with any realtor. Oh and, I think she wears great outfits for her figure. Every once in a while I don’t like something she has on, but seriously, as if all you Sandra-bashers look like models. Stop watching her if you don’t like her.
Bree on July 8th, 2010 at 11:29 am | Link
And about her standing outside while the people go in- you people are so stupid! Can you not see this allows the potential buyers the opportunity to check out the house by themselves and make their own assessments about it without Sandra tagging along behind? When they do have questions, they can ask her later. When I looked for houses, I didn’t walk around with the realtor- I went off on my own to look through the house and then brought things to his attention or asked questions afterwards if I had them. You people are so lame.

What I don’t understand is what Sandra fans are doing here in the first place. To subscribe to a site that trash talks your favorite anything is foolish. Why don’t all of you who continually say if you don’t like the show don’t watch it practice what you preach and move on out of here.
This is a complaint board and if you don’t like the content “don’t read it.” Sandra Rinomato is bad for TV and bad for real estate. Sandra Rinomato sucks. These threads and written complaints to HGTV matter. This is how you get things done. Just keep her on your side of the boarder that’s all I ask.
We don’t want her here!

When you see someone on TV who is successful and is on a hit show that gets great ratings, you have people that will either love it or hate it, and some in betweeners.
If you don’t like Sandra or the show, then STOP WATCHING!!!!
You obviously spend a lot of time watching the show if you can detail it in a complaint on this website. How pathetic are you? You must not have anything positive or productive going on in your life.
Posting negative things about Sandra will not decrease her following, it will not cause ratings of her show to drop, and she certainly will not sell less houses because of what you think of her. I don’t think she is losing sleep over your nonsense.

This is awesome! I just saw an episode where Sandra had to square off with two sisters. Not biological sister’s two black women who have been best friends for years.
They were very strong willed and let Sandra know right up front they were not going to fall for any BS sales tactics.
Showing over priced and dirty homes was not going to be acceptable and at the end of the show when Sandra tried to play hard ball the sister called her bluff walked away.
Most enjoyable was listening to Sandra attempt to make light of getting her ass kicked. I think the Rinomato will think twice before going head to head with a pair of savvy African Americans.
They did us proud! Way to go ladies! LOL!

I do enjoy watching the show. Sometimes, Sandra’s entertaining;sometimes helpful; and sometimes, pushy or condescending. At times, it seems very scripted and rehearsed, and at other times, pretty candid. I have to agree that it’s a tease and sometimes a put-down when Sandra asks “so, is this your ideal neighborhood?” or “why don’t you guess the price of that house?” when it’s clearly wayyyyyyyy out of the prospective buyers’ grasp.However,the show does often teach people what to look for, and the importance of uncovering flaws and major defects with home inspections prior to actually closing the deal. I also liked the episode where Sandra outlined all of the potential problems for a woman who later chose to act without an agent … she gave good advice that time, and seemed sincere about it.

jon on July 20th, 2010 at 12:56 am | Link
Wow, this site comes up right above Sandra’s face when goggled. Cool!
If you watch her because she has fake boobs you must be over 40.
Most posters have already said what I was going to say so I will just add my opinion on this site. I think what goes around comes around. Sandra got off on putting down so many people on national TV and now she has been put down on this site. Big Time!
She had it coming and every bit of it is true. I have also written a formal complaint to HGTV and received a reply indicating she has been put on notice. I think this is it for the crusty faced beotch.
Karla on July 22nd, 2010 at 10:12 pm | Link
Oh noes! I bet she can barely sleep at night knowing that someone has something bad to say about her.
And I am indeed rofling at your statement that your letter has gotten her put “on notice.” Yeah, they probably notified her that she needs to up the security at her house before one of you loons show up.
I’m all for complaining, but when you think that your silly whinefests can actually accomplish something, or even more that the people you’re complaining about give a **** what you think, that’s when you need to step back and think about your life and the imaginary land you’re living in where you have any power whatsoever.
You, Karla, are a silly bitch. And you made me laugh this friday afternoon. Thank you for that.

What a moron!
Of course HGTV welcomes feedback from the viewers. From the beginning of time powerful people have been removed, fired, sued, arrested, sentenced to life in prison or death and it all began with a little complaint, or an accusation.
I would be willing to bet that Karla is not the only person who has ever written to HGTV with serious complaints about Sandra Rinomato.
It’s the pulse of the collective which HGTV has taken note of and has passed it down a strongly worded warning. Shape up or ship out.
You go Karla,
Complaints Matter!

Well,after reading all the nasty comments about Sandra Rinomato I feel this is a bunch of old washed up jealous women.I think she is great.In fact we have been looking at homes with a realtor and many times I have wished we had Sandra to help us.Noone does it better than she.Get a grip you old has beens!!!Don’t have anything better to do?

I can’t believe how so many people can talk so bad about another person.I found this site by looking for info on one of my favorite people on tv,Sandra.I look forward to this show everyday.I think she is so good at what she does,if you don’t like her,fine.But how can you be so rude about it?I know you guys must have mental issues but there is a button that says off if you don’t like something on tv.Or try another channel,there’s a thought.What if she were a relative of your’s?You would be so p’o'd that people talked that way about her.

Any yet, faye and all the other trolls spend equal time doing the exact same thing. lol………
If she practiced what she preached she would even be here. Sandra Rinomato is a phony and a thief. We don’t want her in our country. Someone should check to see if she has a green card.
She may be here illeagally.
Beth on July 26th, 2010 at 7:49 pm | Link
Look,
The people who post her differently have the home team advantage and outnumber the nay Sayers 10 to 1. Let me tell you something. Sandra is the only TV Personality the gets continually criticized on a regular basis.
I believe as new views get turned on the HGTV they will inevitably stumble into the Rino.
When you first see her you go through a kind of shock and awe and not in the way you would like to think I’m sure.
The first thing that sticks out at you is the big ass gap between her two front teeth. Just like you would expect to see in the Beverly Hill Billy’s. Next is that incredibly annoying screechy voice.
For the record, a friend of mine and I have been working on a Sandra Rinomato Sound Board. It’s hilarious. Once it’s complete we will make some crank calls and add them to the sound board. I can tell you already this is going to be some killer stuff.
I wrote a letter to HGTV basically to complain about the abrasive and sometime offensive tone in Sandra’s voice and I was told they have been considering asking Amy Mathews to consider taking over Sandra’s spot next season.
For those of you who don’t know Amy Mathews she’s a very hot looking blond who has two of her own shows. One is Sweat Equity and the others is Bathroom Renovation. Amy is the host of the show and a real licensed contractor who really knows her stuff.
HGTV has actually considered Amy before Sandra but Amy was bound by two contracts already and didn’t want to take on too much.
Amy is not a realtor but there is nothing Sandra says that you can’t get right off the internet. Amy is a quick study and would be much nicer on the eyes and ears to watch on the show.
I know 5 more friends that have just in this week also written to HGTV with similar complaints about the show. With Amy’s movie star looks and hot body she would fill that position nicely.
One more thing I mentioned my letter to HGTV. I work for a larger Real estate office and one of the things they require all the new agents for the first 30 day to watch at least 10 episodes of Property Virgins as a way of hammering the point of “HOW NOT” to sell and house or conduct your services and represent their company.
Amy on July 26th, 2010 at 11:12 pm | Link
Beth: Learn to spell noob. No one will take you seriously until you can manage that.
Amy: You really should give Sandra lessons on working for a large real estate office. Clearly your crank calls and making fun of the gaps in someone’s teeth puts you leagues ahead professionally. And if you think that she’s the only TV personality then you’re as dumb as you sound. Paris Hilton? Snookie? Etc?
I’d like to point out again that I don’t even like Sandra, but I dislike stupid people more, and you guys clearly have that in spades.
roflcopter on July 27th, 2010 at 7:50 am | Link
Has anyone ever noticed? Those who try and defend Sandra Rinomato do so in only one way. Attack the messenger or point out spelling errors which is no different than pointing out Sandra’ unsightly gap between her two front teeth or bringing to light her obesity and thunder thighs.
To make watching Sandra Rinomato mandatory just to demonstrate how NOT to conduct yourself as a realtor is brilliant.
Steve on July 27th, 2010 at 8:57 pm | Link
Has anyone ever noticed how I don’t like Sandra either? And I’ve mentioned it? I’ve never tried to defend her, I just enjoy making stupid people realize that they’re stupid.
Like you, Steve. Notice, if you will, approximately 1.5″ above your post about me defending Sandra where I point out that I don’t like Sandra. Nothing in my post had anything nice to say about her. I didn’t say she didn’t have a gap in her teeth, I didn’t say she wasn’t abrasive and annoying. Nothing in my post was defending her at all.
So when I saw your response in my inbox this morning it delighted me that yet another douchejacuzzi thought they were clever in this thread. This isn’t even about Sandra for me anymore. I just enjoy trolling and pointing and laughing at dip****s like you lol.
Huzzah for Wednesdays! It’s a great day at 9:38 already!

Sandra is an illegal immigrant and needs to stay on her side of the boarder. Yes Amy Mathews would make an excellent replacement.
I can’t wait to hear the sound board!
manny on July 28th, 2010 at 5:06 pm | Link
Agreed!
Sandra continues to show these overpriced sh_it boxes and tells them to keep an open mind. Her continued misuse of the word virgin is really annoying. What does she have some kind of a quota and has to say the word “virgin” so many times a show.
My biggest complaint still has to be her rackety screechy voice. How un-sexy is that? It makes me wonder what her husband must look like.
Has anyone seen all the other complaints about Rinomato on the site?

You are so true my friend. They should have Amy Mathews host every show on HGTV and get rid of that pretentious bitch.

Sandra Rinomato may be an illegal immigrant using her show to illegally cross the boarder. It should be required for all illegals to wear their green card around their neck.
I wouldn’t put it past her to try and smuggle in some Illegal Contraband.
Dav on July 29th, 2010 at 11:55 pm | Link
Hahaha “Dav” I don’t even know what I could say that would make you look stupider than you already do, given you’re completely silly and ignorant post… but I’ll give it a try, grammer nazi style.
Clearly you’re the same person as Manny, because I simply can’t believe that there’s enough “upstanding LEGAL U.S. citizens” who can’t ****in spell “border.” I’m sure there’s plenty of illegal immigrants who could spell it right, given enough tries.
That must also be some pretty effin important illegal contraband if it needs to be capitalized. Was contraband on your word of the day calendar yesterday and you had to make your goal of using it in a sentence, regardless of whether you knew what it meant or not?
You comment, my friend, is a fail. Aside from not really making sense, you’re also flinging the randomest accusations. Why don’t you read up through the posts and maybe say something about her clothes, or her voice? Not original, but at least you wouldn’t look like such an asshat.
I think it’s suddenly become very clear to me what the problem is. You are an illegal chinchilla farmer, breeding without a license. Yes, that’s it. And you probably came here from some remote island in the Pacific (with or without a green card to get across the “boarder” lol) and Sandra represents a threat because when she’s not selling houses, she does work uncovering illegal chinchilla farms!
Zomg.

She is not at all mean, or pushy or what ever else you fools say she is. She is just trying to set these people straight. These property virgins are so stupid sometimes. They want a a mansion on a hamburger helper budget… come on people, get with the program. My husband and I enjoy her show very much.

First off, Sandra looks no different now than she did six months ago. She is still obese, has thunder thighs and has very deep unnaturally looking wrinkles around her mouth, face and eyes.
As far as trying to take it down a notch, I don’t think so. She may be trying to mask her anger but the face never lies. All ya have to do is look at her and you can see her straining to maintain her composure.
You don’t tell a buyer that you will not allow them to change the kitchen, I don’t care if it’s’ made out of pure Gold. If I don’t like it, it’s commin down bitch and as Billy Jack so eloquently said “there’s not a damn thing you’re going to be able to do about it” Now comes the mantis kick and down goes Sandra.

I don’t think anyone here is jealous anymore that you can be jealous of someone like a Rosie O’Donnell.
Sandra Rinomato however is not in the same popularity group as Rosie but they are both very annoying and hard on the eyes.
There is just something about Rinomato that rubs people the wrong way. Maybe it’s her voice, or her phony tactics and rudeness I don’t know.
The show itself could be much better if they would get rid of Sandra and replace her with someone else.

Yuk! Are you kidding me? I just saw this woman in person and if you only knew what she looked like underneath those multiple layers of makeup you would literally become ill.
Even with all those layers of thick paste they still can’t hide the deep sour wrinkles around her lips, eyes and face. Not to mention that unsightly gap between her two front teeth that gives her that beaver look.
Her thighs are huge! Has anyone notices when she walks down the street in the beginning of the show her knees don’t bend. That is because her jeans are on so tight they prevent her from being able to walk normally.
All this just to give the appearance of youth. Sorry Sandra but 50 is not considered young. The worst attribute of all is her arrogance and rudeness.
The good news is that people are beginning to wise up. I just saw a young couple looking for the perfect home and ended up buying a new house. The young man didn’t take and crap from Sandra and pretty much told her she was full of sh_it.
I’m so glad this will be her last season. She’s out-a-here.

Can someone buy this woman a tic tac to shove in between that huge freakin gap in her teeth. How the hell did she manage to get her own show? She’s terrible on the camera. She has exactly one routine that she always does - walk toward the camera as it moves, tilt her head sideways like a cocker spaniel, open arms, palms up, snap them in, keep walking, modified macarana left hand, right hand, keep talking in that nasally annoying voice of hers, stop on the mark and give that hideous smile that says ‘when I couldn’t make it as a professional goalie I decided to become a realtor.’

This is quite possible the best post on this thread. What an eye for detail. And I thought I was the only one who noticed those annoying quarks.
There are more you left out, such as the left eye that sometimes closes for no reason making her look like a kind of Cyclops.
She also like to point her finger at the clients when she talks which I guess is her way of trying to intimidate or bully her clients into submission.
Last night I saw an episode where the young female buyer was looking for rental property and Sandra showed her this bull-shi_t half house half industrial warehouse loft.
Obviously the young woman hated it but instead of admitting that living in a warehouse isn’t for everyone Sandra try’s to flip it around and says, “ok if you don’t get it lets get out of here”
Afterwards the young woman said, “it’s not that I don’t get it, I just don’t like it.”
This is one example of many in which Sandra attempts to put blame on the buyer for not “getting it” instead of taking ownership of her own bad house selection.
We’re on to you Sandra. You’re not fooling anyone.

I have never seen a more self centered, pushy, cocky realtor in my life.
Someone seriously needs back hand that bitch for all the disrespect she spews out. Sandra tries to make this show about her when it’s supposed to be about the first time home buyers. And what’s up with making everyone “guess” the price?
Is this how Canadian realtors roll? Sandra needs to “guess” how many people puke when ever she’s on.
Jake on August 26th, 2010 at 7:45 pm | Link
We are another couple with years of realty experience (we have bought and sold 5 homes in 11 yrs) that CAN’T STAND Sandra Rinomato! She doesn’t usually pushes people to the max or over the max of their budget and says that is all there is in this price range - bovine feces! maybe that is why her batting average on the show is less than the national average sales. I would never work with someone like that - does she encourage her clients to look on the internet (MLS, FSBO etc… to explore ALL their options?) and what is this business of dashing hopes right away with a property that this not anything they have on their wish list - these poor unsuspecting people feel completely at her mercy because they just do not know what a really good realtor is. Her attitude, voice and so-called expertise are grating on the nerves - we now switch channels when we see her program come on. David from LOVE IT OR LIST IT on the other hand is an example of a very good realtor that really does work for his clients!
another sandra on August 27th, 2010 at 5:12 pm | Link
just one more note:…. you see how she leaves the clients alone to walk through the home without her (yes there is a camera crew) BUT did you know IT IS ILLEGAL TO DO THAT?! She is fully liable and is not…by law… supposed to do that. I wonder how many buyers think that this is the “norm” and expect to have free run of a prospective home?
another sandra on August 27th, 2010 at 5:16 pm | Link
You made some very good points. The Rino lady thinks the only way to teach a first time home buyer how to search for a home is to first show them what they can’t afford.
Even more insulting is to casually announce it’s the client that asked to meet her in this out-of-range area withdrawing any responsibility for placing them in that embarrassing situation.
There are a few times when the first time buyers already knew the price was above what they could afford which pulls the rug out from under the Rino’s feet.
All she can do is produce a fake toothless smile and hope that no one caught on to her blotched effort to dash their hopes.
Steve on August 27th, 2010 at 10:33 pm | Link
Sandra is the BEST at what she do! She uses common sense unlike some buyers and other realtors. Remember her show is very educational and too bad people in this country lack that! She treats the property virgin(s) as if they know nothing, which is common sense if you never bought a home before. If you pay attention to the people lifestyles she is inquiring too, they need to be guided by the hand like a child. She has a good resume on how to handle property virgins!
GOOD JOB SANDRA!

Jr on August 30th, 2010 at 12:04 pm | Link
Sandra is the worst realtor I have ever seen. I just started watching the show and couldn’t believe what was coming out of her mouth.
This guy was looking for a house to fix up a little but not so much that the renovations would wipe him out. He was trying to explain to Sandra his thoughts about the first house he saw when Sandra interrupted him and said “you just contradicted yourself”
Even if he did, which he didn’t a professional would never be so rude as to say it to a potential buyer. I could never work with an agent so obnoxious.
Also I didn’t get why she stood outside until I found this site and well, now I can see I’m clearly not the only one who thinks Sandra stinks. I’m sure literally.
Lena on August 31st, 2010 at 9:46 am | Link

I think Sandra Rinomato is wonderful. Who on earth would take up so much time to write how they “can’t stand” someone? Makes no sense, use your time in a more valuable fashion!
Sandra is a great role model especially for new Realtors. She offers many “tips” on how to handle certain situations that happen with clients. Also I don’t know about any of your clients but most HATE to be followed around a house by a Realtor. Sandra does stay outside but she ALWAYS lets a client know that she is nearby to answer any and all questions.
Maybe if some of you Realtors out there actually studied her techniques you would start selling!
Maria Kaps on September 7th, 2010 at 3:24 pm | Link
I can’t think of one good thing to say about Sandra Rinomato. She is unethical and should have her license revoked, that is if she really has one.
The way she delivers advice is nothing less than appalling and her appearance is utterly revolting.
Her approach to sales is barbaric, extremely wicked and cruel.
Her horrendous lies and nightmarish phony phone calls are ghastly. It’s time for HGTV to ask for her resignation and get someone with more class and poise.

I just got direct TV. I’ve been holding out for some time now but my grandchildren talked me into it.
I was a realtor for 50 years before I retired at the age of 75 and in all those years I have never seen a more obnoxious and insensitive agent as Sandra Rinomato
Nobody, I mean nobody stands outside in the rain, snow etc. while other agents walk on by with their respective clients as they most properly show the home.
When I listen to Sandra ask the other realtor if she intended to show the home and then just stood there outside it reminded me of a life guard just standing on the shore allowing someone to drown while watching another life guard go in the water to save a life.
When I tried to find out more about this woman all I could find were terrible negative things written about her.
The long and short of it is: she is a terrible realtor.
And should be kicked off the air. I intend to write a letter to HGTV and tell them so.

pewpewlaser on September 9th, 2010 at 11:45 am | Link
I actually do like the fact that when she show’s them a home she stay’s outside and I think that’s to give them “personal room/space” so they don’t feel that “push” factor that so many sales people do including a lot of realtors. On the other hand since she’s on TV there would be that uncomfortable feeling of being pushed into something simply for her and the networks ratings.
I would actually when I would search for a home want a lady that is not all that attractive because the not so attractive ones are more business oriented, not trying to be those pushers, not “I’m all that” and the non attractive ones work with you much better and I think really do help you, really get to understand your needs and wants and not play into that sellers push game. Not many people like the sellers/realtors that are the hovering type that constantly push you and are always like just buy buy buy and or like once you see a home then they are like well there isn’t much or any time you better put an offer in right away even though you just want to look. The realtors/sellers that are super pushy totally works against them because it drives customers away and the customers are like ewe yuck and are thinking to themselves I just want to look, think about what I saw and take my time on such a big purchase.
Another turnoff I heard from Sandra on one of her recent episodes was a couple looking for a house and telling Sandra what they liked and didn’t like and Sandra then came and said well what did you think and then Sandra said well “it’s not my mortgage” you guys are paying on this mortgage. Like yes of course they know that don’t make them more nervous then they already are. Those snide comments also drives customers right out the door and will immediately put the brakes on dealing with you the realtor. Plus in this economy it’s totally a buyer’s market and so the buyers have total control.

Greetings,
I’ve been waiting to put in my two cents and this seems to be the right time. Part of being a “good” realtor and is expected by most clients is to escort your buyers through the property to answer questions and take notes of the buyer’s likes and dislikes.
This can easily be done “without” being pushy or looking over their shoulder. If you want an example just watch the show called House Hunters.
Those agents stay low-key answering questions as they come up during the tour. They are very respectful and humble servants for the buyers. The buyers don’t get dragged around from place to place having shi_t houses pushed down their throats which they can’t afford any way or they don’t make fun of the client’s available income.
They don’t stare down the clients that won’t make an offer, or speak down to them in a condescending tone. You don’t see them making phony phone calls to other agents or lie about timelines. They don’t accuse the clients of being too picky or call them typical property virgins just because they don’t like the house.
Time and time again Sandra’s clients enter a home unfamiliar with the layout and start asking questions to realtor who is standing outside. “Is this the master?” “Where are the closet doors?” “Why is the pool all green?” “We wanted a garage, where is it?” etc.etc.
A lot of times you think about questions as you go along but when you’re put on the spot in front of the camera to “ask all your questions now” it’s not always possible. Sometimes you need to see a house several times before you decide to buy.
Sandra thinks that by pushing her clients outside “to have a little chat” they should just surrender their good sense to impulse buying. This is why Sandra gets “ditched” so many times.
I love it when the clients simply cut out with no explanation. What Sandra doesn’t realize is that she is the one who is pushing them away to a point where they don’t even take her calls.
This kind of thing only happens to very obnoxious people who have not class. The show is supposed to be about the first time home buyers experience. It’s not the Sandra Rinomato Show.
Yes Sandra Rinomato is Repulsive.
John on September 10th, 2010 at 9:19 am | Link
The show is supposed to be about entertainment, otherwise it wouldn’t be on tv.
I find it amusing when they’re going through a potential property by themselves and seeing their reactions when they come across a hideous room or whatever.
I’m fairly sure that HGTV tells Sandra exactly what to do, not the other way around. Fools.
If it’s anything like House Hunters, the Virgins have frequently already selected and purchased one of the houses and then the show is just built around it, finding two other houses for them to look at. If I had to guess, I’d say that Sandra probably doesn’t sell any houses at all through the show, they’re probably all already sold before they even film.
pewpewlaser on September 10th, 2010 at 9:52 am | Link
No one cares what you think. If you don’t like Sandra that much, then stop watching. Yeah you are right. On her show, she asks them to guess the price, and has her own approach to determining the opinions of her clients, but that’s just it; it is HER show, on TELEVISION. It would be kind of lame if she chose the typical “let me show you this house” approach, now wouldn’t it. And it that case it would not be made for TV. Sandra is a genuine person who is knows what she is talking about and knows how to do her job, while also helping other property virgins understand the challenges they face and the answers to common questions they will be confronted with in buying they’re first home.
ashley on September 11th, 2010 at 4:04 pm | Link
Sandra Rinomato is not a genuine person. She is some kind of phony who doesn’t do her job. She makes people walk through the house without any representation. I don’t even think that’s legal much less ethical. I hate the way she makes people guess every single time.
First off if someone comes out right and asks for the price you should tell them. Treat them like a human being not a contestant on a game show. It just makes her look like a joker.
Now I know why she only helps first time home buyers. Anyone else would knock her flat on her face. Only someone with no buying experience would put up with that kind of sh_it.
Cindy on September 12th, 2010 at 6:56 pm | Link
You haters really need to get a life. Sandra does an excellent job educating these property virgins. Some of these first time buyers are so clueless and picky on their hamburger helper budget. I think Sandra has a lot of patience and half the people on that show I would like to slap some sense in to. My husband and I have bought 7 different homes in 15 years so we know clueless when we see it. And did you ever think people that this is a frigen show?? So what if she makes them guess the price, so frigen what? Is that against the law or something. So what if they initially walk through the house by themselves, big woopie do! I wished our realtors in the past would have done that to give us some space. So stop hating on Sandra, stop being petty and jealous. If you don’t like the frigen show then frigen change the channel morons and keep your ugly, idiotic comments to your ugly self.
Maryann on September 12th, 2010 at 7:32 pm | Link
Wow I’m so glad I found this site and also glad to see more people agree with me than I ever imagined.
This woman Sandra is the worst realtor I have ever seen. I buy property all over the world and know of a Witch Doctor/Realtor in a small India Village south of India that has more class then Sandra. Better teeth too.
Sandra does a horrible job at educating the clients and leaves them more clueless than when they started.
She has no patients what-so-ever and pushes them into a sale before they have time to think it over. It’s all to look good in front of the camera.
Sorry to say Sandra but it’s not working. She dresses like a desperate middle aged house wife and sound like a chipmunk in heat.
Her knowledge is mediocre at best and shows no class when talking to clients This show is being cancelled. There will be no Sandra next year and I say good riddance.
Mac on September 13th, 2010 at 8:57 am | Link
I’m not sure why everyone thinks that letting them walk through the house alone is so atrocious. I know when my boyfriend and I were buying our place last year, we looked at about 35 different places. Our realtor did the exact same thing, which gave us the chance to walk through and discuss concerns or things we were excited about without her being there and making us feel swayed one way or the other. It was probably the number one thing that we appreciated her for, and why we recommended her to two other friends who also bought from her.
If someone had been following us through a potential future home, we probably would have gotten so aggravated at having a stranger in the middle of a decision we were trying to make about OUR future that we wouldn’t have bought anything at all.
As for it not being legal to do that… you’re a f uckin moron Cindy. Why would HGTV let her do something illegal on tv?I suppose you wouldn’t have though of that though, c unt for brains.
pewpewlaser on September 13th, 2010 at 10:10 am | Link
My husband and I are in the business of flipping houses. We have used realtors in the past that were very similar to Sandra. Lazy, not wanting to do any foot work or just didn’t have any people skills.
This summer we flipped our 567th property over a period of 20 years. I can’t remember one time standing outside like a fool while showing a house. Buyers will say what they feel regardless of whether the realtor is standing right next to them or in the hall way.
It’s just part of the service and expected of any professional realtor. Obviously Sandra Rinomato is not the kind of realtor anyone would really take seriously.
The show is not a true representation of how buying a home is really like and Sandra doesn’t come close to representing the way most realtors conduct themselves in front of their clients.
She is very rude and pushy. HGTV should either run a disclaimer or dump Rinomato. Sandra Rinomato gives the industry a bad name.
Carol on September 13th, 2010 at 1:42 pm | Link
“Buyers will say what they feel regardless of whether the realtor is standing right next to them or in the hall way.”
Thank you for speaking for me, and speaking incorrectly you stupid c unt. We, and both of our friends who bought from the same realtor all agreed, having a little privacy to discuss things between us, THEN talking about them with the realtor was perfect for us.
Whether the show is an accurate representation of the home buying process or not, HGTV has set up the show in a way that they think will be entertaining, because it is after all a TELEVISION SHOW. Much the same way cooking shows always have the prepared dish already baked/cooked in the oven so they put the unbaked one in and pull the finished one out. I’m sure you probably cry out “but that’s not how it really happens!!” when you watch those too.
So, thank you for your uneducated generalizations. I wish you and your husband 20 more years of happy trailer flipping.
pewpewlaser on September 14th, 2010 at 6:13 am | Link
I’m not speaking for anyone other than out of my own experience which is far more extensive and superior to yours.
Buyers who are looking at property will speak their minds much more openly in front of their agent than in front of a camera. As an agent we want to hear the feedback first hand so we can better know the likes and dislikes. It’s not taken personally which is one of Sandra’s biggest problems.
Yes, I’ll say it again. Most serious buyers expect the realtor to give them the customary tour of the house to describe the layout, how the rooms were used, what can be changed etc.etc. This is a fact.
Waiting out sided like a fool is just pure laziness and no serious buyer would put up with that kind of non-sense. As for forcing the buyers to guess the price every single time, that is redundant and so ridiculous.
It’s very annoying and not entertaining.
It’s all just part of her scheme. If she can get the buyers to guess too high then she can pitch the actual price as steel. Psychologically the buyer is tricked into thinking they are getting the property for less than it is worth.
The problem is, in the real world buyer would ever go near a house without first knowing the asking price. It’s obvious this show is more like a cartoon version of the real estate business and should be called Sandra Rinomato in Wonderland show.
Another reason Sandra doesn’t go in with the buyers is so the camera crew can transmit the information back to her who is watching and listening in on their every word via her lap top computer.
So when she appears out of the blue and says in her squirrely voice “so watya think of the howse?” she damn well already knows what they think and has prepared her rebuttal in advance. After all she doesn’t want to be caught with her pants down. Ugg! What a thought! Too bad for her the scheme rarely works.
Yeah, Sandra Rinomato a really phony.

Sandra,
You are the best! To all you haters who cannot spell, GO BACK TO SCHOOL before you call yourselves picking on someone. Sandra is very understanding. GUEST WHAT PEOPLE “PROPERTY VIRGINS” is and will always be a reality TV SHOW! Shame people cannot comprehend fantasy from reality or in stupid peoples cases common sense and complete dumbness!
Sandra HELPS everyone, but it’s typical of jealous-property-virgin-hating people!
Jr on September 14th, 2010 at 12:27 pm | Link
I agree Carol. Nobody wants their realtor standing outside in the snow, rain, or whatever while they are browsing through a house. If they are with me they better get their ass moving.
I can’t stand Sandra Rinomato. She is the worst realtor in the world. My kids say she’s too scary to watch and I have to agree but I’ve always enjoyed a good horror flick.
Someone else wrote that she was going to get cancelled. I really hope that’s true. I’m also going to write a letter to HGTV and complain about her irritating and abrasive personality.
I think Sandra has actually posted here using an alias because there are way too many defensive comments that sound like the same person. Either that or one of her cronies is trying to do some damage control.
LOL…
Mark on September 14th, 2010 at 12:55 pm | Link
Yes yes yes! I finally found a site that allows me to get this off my chest.
Sandra Rinomato is not just the worst realtor I’ve ever seen; she’s the most obnoxious too. She is most deserving of censure and highly offensive to watch. Just the way she play’s up to the camera is utterly sickening. I won’t criticize her looks as others have only because you really don’t have much to say in how you were born but I can say that trying to squeeze into a tight pair of designer jeans when your 50 years old and out of shape is revolting.
One poster was right on the money. She wears them so tight when she walks she looks stiff. Common HGTV how long will you ask us to put up with obscene woman?
AJ on September 15th, 2010 at 9:55 am | Link
Carol, I’m terribly glad your experience is far more extensive and superior to mine, because it’s clear your education and care to detail isn’t, at least judging from your grammar and spelling.
“Buyers will say what they feel regardless of whether the realtor is standing right next to them or in the hall way.”
That IS, in fact, making a generalization and speaking for people. Add an “in my experience,” or an “in my opinion,” and the statement is fine. You were declaring it fact, which it is not.
You’ve once again missed the point that Property Virgins is a television show. I’m fairly certain that Sandra does not call the shots on the show, no more than Vanna White picks the phrases that are used for puzzles on Wheel of Fortune. I just googled “Property Virgins director” and found this page:
http://tv.yahoo.com/property-virgins/show/road-weary/episode/223785/castcrew
It lists Sandra as an “Actor.” Not director. Not creator. Not consultant.
I don’t know anything about her, maybe she’s not even a realtor. Seems like she is probably handed a script, introduced to the “cast” for that episode, and does exactly as she’s told. The entire show is contrived for entertainment purposes targeted at a specific audience. Most likely the same sort of audience that enjoys Judge Judy and her tell-it-like-it-is attitude.
Personally I’m not a fan of the show, just because shows like that don’t interest me, but my boyfriend loves it, so I’ve caught a few episodes. Mostly I’m just here to badger the ridiculous people who have a personal vendetta against someone who is practically a fictional character. It makes me lol. A lot.
If any of you are actually considering writing a letter to HGTV, do yourself a favor and hold onto your letter for a few days and read it every day. All you’d accomplish by sending a letter that sounds like your posts here is making someone’s day at HGTV when they laugh at you like I do.
pewpewlaser on September 15th, 2010 at 11:37 am | Link
There is nothing wrong with my grammar. I stated it exactly how I intended. (As a Fact, not an opinion)
It must be tough going through adolescence without a formal education. I’m sure you know all about shows like Judge Judy, Barney and Hannah Montana but it won’t help you when you’re buying a house.
Buyers except their real estate agent to do their jobs not stand by the mail box thinking up ways to counter your dissatisfaction. Sandra is a fraud who practices deceit and trickery. She’s a cheat, an imposter of reality.
She misrepresents the buying process and gives the whole industry a bad name.
I did write to HGTV and received a very encouraging reply. This is how we get things done.
It’s over for Rinomato!
Carol on September 15th, 2010 at 1:05 pm | Link
If you intended to state it as a fact (capitalizing it does nothing to further your point, lol), then you simply admitted your ignorance darling.
I’m sure I’m not far behind you in age, so you make it quite clear that I got under your skin with your childish reply, which made my day.
I’m sure HGTV has a pile of “thank you for your brilliant feedback” letters ready to send out to every silly cow who thinks they are the authority on .
Like I said before, I’m not a fan of her show, but obviously she’s done something very personal to you for you to have such a ridiculous reaction.

You hit the nail right on the head. The troll you’ve been conversing with is actually the Polish Prince of Penis.
This underachiever is on house arrest and/or incarcerated in some institution. If you go back and read some of the earlier posts you will be able to see the similarities past and present.
The Polish Prince of Penis is a high school dropout, an underachiever and as you have already pointed out, “Not Too Bright.”
The best thing to do is just post and don’t reply to anything the she-man may come up with. I have out whited this troll so many times it’s not funny.

And thus the intelligence and maturity quotient has been raised. I need to find another biggest complaint thread where someone can actually have an intelligent argument instead of slinging silly childish insults. If that’s all I wanted to do, I’d go find a playground and pick a fight with an 8 year old.
Steve is an imbred, albino, blind boar-monkey with big toes where his thumbs should be and teeth like a garbage disposal… nope, just doesn’t do anything for me, because I’m quite sure none of it is true at all. I’d rather insult someone with something that I know is fact, meaning something they’ve said here, rather than cooking up random stories lol.
I’m actually not the guy you’re talking about, though reading up when I found this thread a couple of weeks ago I did see some of your conversations with him. I’m not actually here to defend Sandra at all, I’m just here to troll and make snide comments at dull people like our friend Carol here. But now that I see the level of argument I’ll get out of this thread, I think it’s time to unsubscribe and find a new thread. And I somehow feel certain that even though your advice was to keep posting and ignore me, at some point you’ll respond anyway. Maybe I’ll check back in a few months so I can laugh at that.

Judy on September 17th, 2010 at 9:26 am | Link
You seem to be overly biased, and apparently study her show to the point of some obsessive stalker.
She does it the way she does because it helps people realize how they can very well be overly optimistic on what they can get for their money, or overly pessimistic. Guessing the price just allows them to try to pin-point what they think its worth, and allows them to get a better idea of what they can buy for their money. It’s not a means of embarrassment so much as a means of education and a way for her, Sandra, to explain why they can get more/less than they thought for the amount. The people that go on the show would know that she does this, so if they really had something against it, I doubt they’d bother going on the show.
“Desperate suggestions like blowing out walls to replacing carpet.” Last time I checked, those suggestions aren’t desperate so much as realistic. If you like a house but dislike a certain flooring, wall, or other aesthetic, it’s by no means a reason to dislike the house all-together. A lot of first time buyers expect everything to be exactly how they want it and for it to come with no down-sides. She points out that while there may not be total perfection, you can still customize the house to that point and fix it as you want it to, which she usually does with houses she shows them that are below their price-point and gives them money leftover to use on the renovations she figured they might want to do. And, not only does she tell them what they can do to fix it, what walls are not load-bearing and able to be removed, but she also gives them very logical estimates on the prices of the renos. She is in no way being desperate or snooty, merely educating them that they have more choices than just passing up a house in their preferred area with preferred amenities just because of a few eyesores.
The only reason she sells here in the US is because a lot of us HGTV watcher, in the US, like her and the way she works. I plan to use to her for my future property ventures and I definitely will respect her opinion on them, She does tons of research on the areas in which you’d like to live, the cheaper-priced neighborhoods similar to the upper-priced ones you so adore, and she also customizes her searches based on your opinions of each house (whether you now want more space, a different location, more rooms, etc) and will show you as many as she needs to just to make sure you get what you’d like.
She isn’t a bitch, and she isn’t snobby. She just gives the reality-check some new buyers need to understand what their money can get them in certain places and what they can do to customize what they buy. She’s essentially the mother-figure guiding them in the right direction. She works great deals, gets them done rather quickly, is very receptive to what the buyer wants and to the best deals she can get them otherwise. I can understand people disliking her just as people can dislike anyone else, but it doesn’t mean she is bad at what she does. She’s good at her job, and if you don’t like the way she does it, then simply don’t view her show or hire her.

So surprised to see so many complaints about annoying, irritating and obnoxious Sandra Rinomato from Property Virgins. I also cannot stand her, her voice, and the way she says howoose all the time. She always claims there are other buyers so these poor saps are forced to buy some dump (that usually needs thousands of dollar in updating) they cannot really afford anyway. Then there’s the way she takes and attitude if they don’t like the howoose, as if she is doing them a big fat favor. When salespeople or anyone put the squeeze on then it is your clue to walk. She obviously uses this tactic to get more money. Have you ever heard anything more ludicrous? The house sells for $200,000 so if you really want it offer a lot more than the asking price. Is she nuts? She is too fat to wear the types of clothes she wears. Showing cleavage is highly unprofessional. Is she selling houses or herself? Either way she is doing a lousy job. For you creeps who are so interested in seeing boobs and curves, watch your porn movies, that stuff doesn’t belong on HGTV, a famiy channel. Honestly, get someone else to host this show.

getyr_facts_straight aka Polish Prince of Penis is at it again.
True words could not have been said Nell.
Sandra Rinomato is a snob with desperate and snooty over tones. Have you notice that no matter how many times the client tells her what their cap is without fail the first thing she does is show them houses several thousand dollars over their limit. What a bitch!
Not even in their range. It’s always the same thing. “I know it’s more than you wanted to spend but this howse really delivers.
And what makes even worse is when she desperately suggests ridiculous work arounds like blowing out the walls, adding hard wood floors or moving the front door because the house opened right up right into a stair case.
And who’s going to pay for that Sandra, You?
ne time she showed a house that had a cracked foundation and the interior walls were separating from the floors.
Sandra is the worst Realtor on Earth! Not to mentions very unattractive.
Steve on September 20th, 2010 at 7:27 pm | Link
I agree Steve,
Sandra goes out of her way to underhandedly trick buyers into thinking they are in control but nothing could be further from the truth.
I was on the show in 2008. My husband and I applied to be on the show because we thou Let me tell you some truths about the show.
1. Sandra is much older than she looks. I always thought she was in her mid to late 40’s but when you see her without makeup you really go into shock & awe. On second though forget the awe it’s just shock. She is actually 51 years old and looks more like 55.
2. Sandra has a problem with personal hygiene. It may have something to do with her rotten teeth, bad breath or just doesn’t wash herself properly but she really has a case of BO.
3. She is worse off camera if you could ever imagine that. She’s very condescending, very rude, crude and socially unacceptable.
4. She was really described by the head producer as looking hideous but was happy to give “special favors” to fish her rejected audition tape out of the trash.
5. My wife and I bailed on Sandra and ended up not buying a house, at least not from her. The network actually offered us a little incentive to come back and finish the episode but between the fowl order, and Sandra’s constant arguing with us we decided to decline.
If Sandra ever comes into your neighborhood turn around and run the other way. You’ll be glad you did
ght it might be fun to see ourselves on TV.

Today most kids ( in the 20 ish age) expect the moon and the stars for their first home and Sandra helps them to see that that is not possible on their income.

I just wonder what Sandra tells her self when she looks in the mirror.
“There is gap between my two front teeth big enough for an oak tree but it makes me look intelligent.”
Wrong Sandra, it makes you look like the village whore addicted to crack.
“I have these very deep and unnatural looking wrinkles around my lips, eyes, neck and face but thankfully they don’t show up under all these layers of stucco patch.”
Wrong again Rino lady. Even with all those layers of stucco paste your wrinkles are hideous. Especially when you use any word that begins with a W, O, or M. I assume you’ve already tried Botox with zero results. I would suggest wearing a mask.
“I know these jeans are about 3 sizes too small but they make me look younger and cool in front of the camera”
Sandra your thighs give the word thunder a new meaning. Seriously what are you thinking? Let me make this as plain and simple as I can. “YOU’RE FAT!” And the camera just makes you look even worse. Dress your age.
Read the feedback. You look ridiculous.
You remind me of Sharon the security manager at the Hard Rock Hotel. You are both cut from the same piece of cloth.

There is no way anyone with half a brain can watch this show and think its ok to treat buyers so rudely unless those same people are rude themselves and just can’t see anything wrong.
A couple had just finished walking through a shi_t box that Sandra claims she hand-picked for them and the husband was expressing his dissatisfaction with all the wall, ceiling and floor damage.
Sandra told him she was shocked and insisted that the house should surpass all their expectations. Can you imagine that? Telling a client they’re opinion is wrong and they are either being too picky or suffering from property virgin syndrome.
One poster said Sandra points too much and he was right. Besides being the worst realtor on earth if she ever pointed at me that way I’d snap her finger right off and stick it between the gap in her teeth.
Jannet on September 25th, 2010 at 2:11 pm | Link
There’s a reason the show is called Property VIRGINs. No one who has any brains and any experience in real estate transactions would deal with an agent like Rinomato. Wearing tight, revealing clothes will not, with an experienced buyer who is doing a BUSINESS deal, influence the purchase of the overpriced houses Rino pushes. VIRGINS won’t register that Rino is working for HERSELF. Like ALL RE agents she is not your friend even if she pretends to be. She is looking to maximize her commission and she will do WHATEVER IT TAKES to close the deal. That is what agents DO. She know the tricks of the trade (possibly the tricks used an a couple of ‘professions’ if other posts are accurate) and she manipulates the virgins into making offers and closing deals that are frequently NOT in their best interest. Two specific techniques: 1. she will get the virgins to make high-ball initial offers (’make your best offer NOW because you don’t want to lose your dream house’) which then ‘forces’ them to go even higher during “negotiations”. 2. She uses the old trick of showing them what they “want” and then pulling the rug out from under them when the prices are out of range. She then shows them the nastiest dump in their ‘price range’ to set them up to go overbudget. This is followed by showing them “nice” places which are out of their price range—but ‘doable’ if they STRETCH. They look at each other and wistfully ask her to help them find SOMETHING ‘nice’ if they—and this is the key—up the amount they are willing to spend (or borrow). . Like a shyster car salesman, she has now set them up for the kill. They have now “learned” to accept the fact that they aren’t going to get everything they want and they’re going to have to pay more than they budgeted or can afford to get even that. The people who think she’s “great” have come to the conclusion that she set them up to come to and she makes a bigger commission than she would have if they’d stayed on budget and drove a harder bargain. She is the equivalent of a ‘high pressure’ car salesman. The only lesson the show has to offer is this: Rino is NOT the kind of agent you want to deal with. HGTV in general has sold out to their sponsors: Realtors selling overpriced houses and Manufacturers who brainwash the gullible into thinking they MUST HAVE all those “up-grades”.

You are right on the money. Fortunately there are a few intelligent buyers that don’t fall for Sandra’s con’s and end up not buying at all or simply ditch her and stop returning her calls.
When that happens Sandra will always play it off like it’s no big deal and she’s behind them all the way and even supports their decision not to buy. She is so transparent it’s not even funny, she says one thing but her body and facial expressions say another.
HGTV made a huge mistake when using a pair of latex gloves, fished her audition tape out of the reject pile and allowed themselves to be manipulated into giving her a shot. They should have just stuck to their initial decision.
There is no other real estate show on TV in which the host has been criticized and beat up like Sandra Rinomato. Why don’t they just cut their losses and get rid of the bitch.

I’m so glad I found this … I just can’t with Sandra at all
She acts so commission hungry, glib and smarmy … uggggh
You’d think she’d learn to hide it after 12 years
Some of her house prices are out of touch with reality
Qualia on September 27th, 2010 at 5:19 pm | Link
Oh my god…….most of you people are right out of your mind …it’s a dam tv show……the point is ,she shows young couples what is really out there…I think she makes her point when some couples want a million dollar house on a hundred thousand dollar budget …most of them want to start right at the top, instead of working their way up the ladder like their parents did. I’ve seen shows where the house was a great deal, but they didn’t like the color of a room …..20.00 worth of paint , but too dam lazy to paint it !

Wow….some of the people posting comments here seem a little unstable. Sandra “enrages” you because you don’t find her attractive? Hahaa…that sounds like something you need therapy for. You all have to keep in mind that Sandra is the HOST of the show, NOT the producer. She has to stand outside because that’s what the producers ask her to do. I don’t think she’s bitchy, sure, she’s a little pushy but pretty much all realtors have to be that way otherwise they’d be wasting tons of time with people who are too scared to make a move. And again, its not like she gets to decide what is aired and what is edited out. Also she doesn’t get to pick her own wardrobe. And to the people who say she shouldn’t be selling US properties, she ISN’T. Read the credits. HGTV gives credit to the local realtors of every town she visits. She just helps them through the offer writting process. You also might want to stop watching HGTV at all if you hate Canadians since 90 percent of their shows are filmed there. And to address the comments about her having clients meet her in neighborhoods they can’t afford, again, its how the producers set the show up, and the CLIENTS pick the neighborhood so they can show her what they LIKE. Most of them KNOW they can’t afford those houses but gosh, they can still admire them and try to find something SIMILAR.
Lighten up people! Its JUST a TV show!
mbt on September 30th, 2010 at 9:26 pm | Link
What “mbt” fails to recognize is that although Sandra may not write the basic script for the show, she is the one who delivers it, and her delivery sucks!
Nobody is forcing her to make rude replies or condescending remarks. That is all her own doing, every bit of it.
Take last night for example.
The couple didn’t want wooden floors up stairs for several reasons but mainly because of the noise. I can’t say I blame them.
I’ve noticed in Canada they seem to cream all over hard wood floors but here in America the majority of us prefer the feel of a nice plush comfortable carpet in the living areas and bedrooms.
There is just something really great about being able to kneel or lay down with a pillow on carpet as opposed to a hard cold wooden floor.
As an alien Sandra doesn’t understand this concept so when the couple told her they preferred carpet and did Sandra couldn’t deliver, out of frustration with the buyers Sandra made a real sour looking face and said “ohhh I can’t believe you don’t like hard wood floors.”
It just made you want to smack her right across the face!
HGTV fuc_ked up when they put her in front of the camera and I think they realized it pretty quick.
They should have left her right where they found her, in the reject pile.

Property Virgins IS “just a TV show” but it is a show that purports to show inexperienced young people who have decided to enter the housing market “how” it’s done. It holds out Rino as an example of how you should expect your agent to perform for you. The message is that she (or any real estate agent) will be your advocate. I was simply pointing out that, while RE agents do serve a valuable purpose (bringing buyer and seller together and smoothing the difficulties in closing the deal) , it is NAIVE (i.e.; virginal) to accept at face value the premise that your agent’s sole purpose is to protect your interest. Specifically: It may not be in your best interest to get into a bidding war—there are plenty of houses available in this market. It may not be in your best interest to go in with your ‘best offer’ lest you ‘offend the seller’—-sellers simply reject offers they aren’t willing to take with the message to come back when you’re serious. It is certainly not in your best interest to spend more than you can afford. Duh. It is not ethical to tell people who don’t know any better that they can or should spend more than they can afford on a house that does NOT meet their specifications in the hope that they can ‘easily’ remodel or renovate it. (”Buy it, then fix it the way you want. I won’t be around to help deal with any of that but I’ll take my commission NOW and you can call me when you want to sell.”) Rino consistently pooh-poohs the fact that the house the virgins are considering is NOT very close what they wanted. ‘You can blow out that wall. You can move that kitchen or bathroom. You can change this or that. ‘ Yes, MAYBE you can. More precisely, you can HIRE someone to do these things—which will add to the already overblown cost. You can do ANYTHING if you throw enough money at it. Of course, if the virgins want to bring it in at a more reasonable budget, they had better be handy with ‘minor ‘ skills as framing, roofing, electrical, heating/cooling, plumbing, drywall and tile installations, finish carpentry, painting, foundation repair, and landscaping, etc., etc. Knowledge of how to pour and finish concrete is also a plus. HGTV as a network ‘teaches’ the virgins (and anyone else naive enough to take their ‘advice’ seriously) to look almost exclusively at TRIVIAL matters such as paint color, floor coverings, crown molding and how the accesories are placed during staging—which is carefully done to give you the ILLUSION that you are getting something better than you are actually getting. “Look!!! The pulls on the kitchen cabinets and drawers have beeen UPDATED!!! That’s worth an additional 5 Grand at least!!” And don’t forget to demand the stainless steel appliances which will either outdate or outright die in 12 years or so and for which you will be paying on for as long as you hold the mortgage. HGTC (and Rino) emphasize none of this, yet THAT is crucial information for the virgins to know. It’s like selling cars. Car salesmen don’t really care what you WANT, they try to sell you what they have on the lot. RE agents can’t put you into something that you plainly do NOT want (they would if they could), but they try to sell you what they have. It’s how sales works and the higher the price, the more money they make. It is NOT the buyer’s responsibility to “not waste the agent’s time”. A smart agent lays out some facts to the virgins before they ever get in the car to go look at properties. How much can be afforded? HONESTLY. What is the state of current market pricing? What do you get for your money. Expectations will probably have to be GENTLY corrected. Does Rino do all this? I don’t know, but the program does not show her doing that. I’ve bought and sold several houses, dealt with several RE agents and overall the experiences have beeen satisfactor. But watching Rino, I have have the sense that she takes her clients for a ride, so to speak. A virgin watching the show is going to get an impression of how home buying is done that is incomplete—to say the least– and sets them up to spend more money than they should for less house. Yes, WE know it’s just a show. What a virgin MAY NOT KNOW is that it is just as “real” as most of the other fantasies on TV. I will agree that the issue of Rino’s physical appearance and wardrobe is irrelevant. But you’ll have a better chance being viewed as a professional if you look and act like one.
James Davidson on October 1st, 2010 at 11:30 am | Link
Well, we must just not have the same views on what’s “rude” and what’s just plain honesty because I don’t think she’s rude at all. And like many others have said, if you don’t like her or the show…don’t watch it. I myself AM an american and have bought and sold many house across the US and I can’t tell you how many worthless brokers I have worked with. Real estate is not something you pussyfoot around with. You’ve gotta be direct, upfront, and you SHOULDN’T be concentrating on cosmetic issues with houses. Anyone who is interested in real estate knows you don’t concentrate on the things you can change, you’ve gotta focus on what you CAN’T change. I watch the show all the time and I’ve never seen her try to force anyone to spend above their budget. I think she’s blunt and to the point and that’s what first time home buyers NEED. They don’t need someone to come in there and sugar coat everything and just smile. She gives the facts, tells people what they can and can’t change about a house, and then let’s them think about all their options.
Also, like I said in my earlier post, Sandra works with local agents in every town she visits, so if she ends up showing people houses that are above or way below their budget, the local agent is to blame as well.
FYI- it disturbs me that so many on here call her “rude” and “condescending” yet are very quick to attack her weight, looks, and wardrobe. People in glass houses….
mbt on October 1st, 2010 at 12:10 pm | Link
Also, I’d like to add 2 things,
#1: I’m not sure where you live, but I’m fairly well traveled and in most areas within the US that are upscale, high end neigborhoods people PREFER hard wood flooring to carpet. Its easier to clean, more expensive looking, and doesn’t have the same allergans that carpets do.
#2: I do think the world is in a sad sad mindset when a man would go online and post about slapping a woman across the face over a carpet.
mbt on October 1st, 2010 at 12:37 pm | Link
Again, we have someone who is in major denial. As a realtor myself for almost 35 years there is no way you’re going to convince me that first time or even seasoned buyers don’t look at cosmetic issues when searching for a house.
It’s the first thing that jumps out at you and if you see a huge stain on the carpet or damaged tiles who is going to pay for the repairs, you?
Sometimes the buyer will pay, but sometimes they won’t. And if you’re looking at houses way above your budget as Sandra is known to do then absolutely it’s all going to matter.
Sandra herself will often confess that the property had everything on their wish list but they just didn’t like it. Or they didn’t “feel” it. The world just isn’t that black and white. End of story.
A lot of it will depend on whether are you buying to live there, flip it or rent it out. Sandra’s not the one who is paying the mortgage or the one who has to wake up to the sound of a train, kids banging and jumping on a hard wood floor, hearing a school bell ring every hour or a shocking pink kitchen.
So it’s easy for her to say not to focus on the big red elephant when the money that was originally set aside for repairs was absorbed in escrow.
You say:
“I’ve never seen her try to force anyone to spend above their budget”
Lol…….. What show are your watching?
Read the posts, it happens in every show.
Sandra’s favorite lines, “I know this is more than you wanted to spend but maybe we can get them to get them to come down.” “I suggest we go in above asking price” “Don’t focus on the price focus on the payment.”” “If you want this we have to move on it right now!” “Typical property virgins too picky”
It’s all BS!
People like being treated with respect and courtesy. Sandra is rude, crude, overbearing and pushy. That’s why this thread was created and all the other similar threads throughout the internet.
People hate the bitch.
Anyone who can’t see those unruly characteristics is mostly like as one poster said, just like her. Cut from the same piece of rag.
Oh and by the way, I’m not a man.
The Voice of Reason on October 1st, 2010 at 1:32 pm | Link
One question:
If you (as you say) “hate the bitch” why on earth do you watch the show every week?
Silly.
And yes, I watch the show all the time as I am a FAN. I’ve never heard her say 90 percent of the things you are claiming. I think its a fun, light hearted and entertaining show.
Guess that makes me a “bitch” too. Funny that I’m the bitch yet I’m the only one not throwing around random and unfounded insults.
Have a great day!
mbt on October 1st, 2010 at 3:56 pm | Link
I would like to weigh in on this little debate but before I tell you what Sandra is let me tell you what she is not.
She is not an actor, not even a bad one so when she laughs acts excited or pretends to be sad for the buyers it’s like watching a bald man wearing very bad hair piece.
You want to make eye contact but the obviously phony looking tope creates a feeling of awkwardness.
You pretend not to notice but you can’t keep from glancing at it a little too much. It’s the same with Sandra. I think the absolute phoniest laugh I’ve ever heard.
Now for what she is. One poster compared her to Sharon, the security manager on the show, Party at the Hard Rock Hotel.
That’s as close to an exact comparison as you can get. They are very abrasive, loud, unruly, rude, obnoxious and overbearing. There’s just something about their demeanor that is very offensive and rubs you the wrong way.
Sandra should dress like a Muslim fully covered from head to toe. Only then could she pull this off.
No on second thought there’s that voice of hers. I’ve never heard anything like it. Almost cartoonish but not in a good way.
No I take it back. Sandra, you’ll never be able to pull this off. Don’t quit your night job.
Maria on October 1st, 2010 at 11:23 pm | Link
I came across this site because I—along with several people I know–found the premises of the show and its host to be not only unnecessarily rude but counterproductive in terms of ‘educating’ buyers. I was mildly curious and , in a moment of boredom, googled Rino and was led to this site. It was unsurprising to find that there are many other people who share the impression I had which was rather skeptical of most of the aspects of the PV show. It was also unsurprising to find that there are those who think she is an incredible realtor/host. I errred in posting as I did not take the time to read the MANY posts which preceded my own. I was wrong in assuming that this was a site which was more or less “serious”. It is difficult to see any value in posting on a COMPLAINT site other than just ventilating one’s feelings and people who post here do not seem to be the type who are wasting the valuable time they usually spend saving Haitian earthquake victims or mediating the Middle East peace process. It seems rather useless to castigate them for not attending to other weightier and more worthy matters. I think those who are not fans of Rino’s STYLE AND METHODS are simply performing a kind of reality-check and confirming that others share their view as well. The site is NOT called “My Fascination With Rino’s Physical Attributes” but that is what many of the preceeding posters seem to be obsessed with. It also seems fruitless to post comments which rip each other about OPINIONS; but that is what passes for discourse in the Internet, I suppose. The anger vented on those who simply have a different viewpoint about a relatively obscure TV show is amazing to me (I apparently lead a sheltered life). Hating Rino for what she does and how she does it and wanting to slap her just seems to be a bit over the top to me as do all the posts about the sexuality she projects. For those fascinated with her physicality, I”m sure you might be happier on some other websites of a more prurient nature—which I’m equally sure you already frequent. It was interesting to read the posts of the “professional RE agents” who expressed their dislike of dealing with property virgins who are—if I am correctly summarizing their view—ignorant of the market, don’t know what they want, have unrealistic expectations, want to view too many houses and generally waste the agents VALUABLE time and money which can be better spent pursuing the NEXT deal. Rino is supposedly a big shot agent with Coldwell Banker. My own experience with Coldwell Banker is that they are not particularly choosy about how their agents present themselves as long as they make the deal. But that’s just my experience and so I again am again unsurprised that Rino, using the tricks she has mastered, would climb to the top seller rung in that organization. One get the impression that the agents simply do not want to be BOTHERED by the dirty work of workng through the process of salesmanship but prefer to have the buyer make a snap decision then expedite the closing so they can get their —usually quite substantial for the amount of effort they put into it–commission check.There was a point in one post which I think deserves reiterating. The show is not called “Property Veterans” because it is unlikely that many EXPERIENCED buyers would tolerate the transparent techniques of manipulation she uses. ALL AGENTS to some extent ”manipulate’ the buyers. ETHICAL AGENTS (one sometimes wonders if there are any left) do not—or should not–manipulate the virgins into a corner just because they CAN. Whereas the desire to get rich in real estate sales was rampant before the market crash, there is much pressure on agents for a quick kill these days just to stay afloat and an experienced, unethical agent can—if smooth enough–scam the virgins (rather a perjorative term, I think) at every step in the property buying process. One has to wonder how many repeat customers Rino has when the afterglow wears off following their dealings with her and they discover they didn’t get the house they wanted and probably overpaid. Of course, I could be wrong about that. Having said all this, I stopped watching her show quite some time back for reasons which are obvious. HGTV will program what they want for their own reasons and motivations. The market, as always, will decide.
James Davidson on October 2nd, 2010 at 6:46 am | Link
Good post James,
I appreciate the time and thought you put into it. I particularly liked the phrase “Scam the Virgin” because it fits the Rino’s mo to the “t.” I find it very disturbing watching her victims fall for her scams so easily.
Perhaps during the interview process for participants the producers weed out the first time buyers who would potentially have the minimum level of intelligence it would take to pull the covers off the Rino’s game.
Unfortunately for HGTV some of them do slip through. Those are the ones who end up ditching her or sticking to their budget not allowing the Rino to paint them into a corner with a face full of phony abilities.
I don’t know who started calling Sandra Rinomato “the Rino” but it really fits like a glove. Sandra’s thunder thighs are very much identical in mass to that of a real live Rhino.
Let’s hope all this talk about this being her last season is true.

Do you have any idea about how TV shows are made? If you did, you wouldn’t have said have the silly things you said. Either you don’t understand how TV shows get ratings up or you are just jealous of her. I listen to her and from an American property market I find her to be very informative. I can’t speak for Canada but there’s not much of a difference.
Salzman on October 4th, 2010 at 7:02 pm | Link
You must not know too much about the market because there is nothing Sandra the Rino comes up with that is not common knowledge or on the internet.
She is repulsive to watch and should get the big boot.
Kevin on October 7th, 2010 at 7:44 am | Link
You are making the point for me. Real estate isn’t as complicated as you would like it to make it out to be. Most of the stuff is common knowledge or on the internet as you said. The point of the show is another way of putting the info out to people who may not be as informed. Don’t get too excited about your knowledge; you don’t need a university degree to be a real estate agent. Keep in mind it’s a tv show. TV shows need to be easy to follow. If you don’t like the show don’t watch. She must be doing something right; she go her own show. Can you say jealous?
Salzman on October 7th, 2010 at 10:31 am | Link
I wonder how many times the show had to bail the Rino out. There were a few shows one in particular when Rino told the buyers there was no way the seller was going accept their offer. Then came back and said “congratulations you bought a howse”
I’m sure they can’t afford to have too many failed sales and have to step in with a money gift to seal the deal.
Sandra Rinomato is the worst realtor I’ve ever seen. Super obnoxious and dishonest in all her ways.
Karen on October 7th, 2010 at 7:44 pm | Link
I think Sandra can be a bit annoying at times, but a lot of these buyers are idiots. they bitch about a wallpaper border or the color of the walls. A good agent shouldn’t baby that sort of thinking. They need to be told that those things are NOT a big deal.
It’s a 30 minute show so it is glossed over - who wants to see every little detail of these people’s real estate transaction? It’s just for entertainment. If you really want to learn about buying/selling homes, you shouldn’t be doing it through a TV show.
DS on October 7th, 2010 at 7:44 pm | Link
I think some of the differing views of the show might be traced to differing ideas about what the show is about. Viewed as entertainment only, the show could be seen as one in which a savvy RE agent guides the uninformed through the treacherous process of finding their ‘dream house’. This is, to the uninformed, a comforting thought and the same people no doubt also find comfort in believing, for example, that all attorneys are noble seekers of the truth, all police are honest and impartial enforcers of what’s right, all politicians just want to serve the people and all media seek to inform by presented clear and unbiased programming seeking only to educate and enlighten the ignorant, unwashed masses. The Property Virgins show—and HGTV in general have agendas–which are, stunningly, the agendas of their advertisers. While that is understanbable, it also presents a rather skewed view of the process of buying and selling houses. It is true that a 30 minute program can’t show every aspect of the buying/selling process. The problem (as I see it) is that these shows don’t show much of anything helpful to an experienced buyer and are downright misleading for the virgins they purport to be ‘educating’. These shows are (probably) seen by the inexperienced NOT so much as entertainment–although they may be— but as short courses in how to do a deal and how to interact with a realtor. For me—and apparently many of you—the entertainment aspect is painful to watch, which is why I stopped. If I want mindless fluff (and hey, who doesn’t like a bit of that now and then?) I’m probably NOT going to tune in to watch a personality who –to me—comes across as abrasive and condescending. IF the show is thought to be ‘educational’ and ‘informative’, it can only be seen as such by someone who really is a virgin and who has NO IDEA that what they are being told is—for the most part—hogwash. Certainly virgins need to be ‘educated’ to understand that paint color and wallpaper borders are fairly easily changed. Even to virgins it should be obvious—but often is not– that blowing out walls and structural repairs are less easy to deal with. Rino CONSISTENTLY minimizes what is involved in these kinds of issues. (That’s a weight-bearing wall? No problem. Install a header. Needs a new roof? Oh,$4,000 to $6,000 will fix that. Of course you can move that sink. ) Well, MAYBE, but maybe not if you have something less than unlimited finances. HGTV—for the most part–focuses on TRIVIA and minimizes problems which is why it is more feel-good entertainment—like a trip through Fantasyland– than actually informative. ANYONE can buy a house with a high-ball offer. Rino’s deals (as shown) ALWAYS follow the same pattern: high asking price, buyer is convinced to make his “best offer” because low-ball offers “insult” the seller, the counter offer is countered,. seller comes down a little, buyers goes up a LOT—probably exceeding their pre-planned budget/financing and Rino cashes a hefty commission check. There’s nothing hardball or informative here and the one thing that is ABSOLUTELY SACROSANCT is the notion that the Agent’s percentage is etched in stone. (It is NOT.) As I previously said, I don’t watch the show anymore, but I inadvertantly surfed past it the other night and paused briefly. Rino was explaining to the hapless virgin that “this house was a short sale” which is just really problematic and really a tough deal to do, so let’s just forget it and move on. To be both educational and entertaining, maybe that is precisely the kind of deal the show should present at bit of because it looks like they are going to become more common in the months/years to come. BUT, these deals involve resolving issues between multiple parties and reduced prices—which for Rino translates into more work and less pay. Welcome to the real world. It’s just easier and more lucrative for the real estate industry and the advertiser/manufacturer/business sponsors to talk about paint color, crown molding, hardwood floors, granite countertops , ‘open concept’ design and stainless steel appliances—all of which are pretty and shiny but, in the end, expensive and superficial. But that’s what HGTV is all about. (Sorry this was so long of a rant.)

Allow me to add a few comments.

Very good point.
Regarding those who think this show is really fulfilling its claim to be educating first time buyers by a so-called property expert, I agree 100% with your analysis
The intelligence level of those who really feel she’s accomplishing this can’t be higher than a 5th grader, or they are staff from the show trying to do some damage control.
I have reason to believe that some of these posts were created from none other than the Rhino herself.
Case in point, “I am smarter than a 5th grader Rhino and your cover is blown.”
The Rhinos abrasive replies to common and honest feedback from the buyers would simply not fly in the real world.
A tight slap across the face would not necessarily be out of line in a couple of cases I watched involving other women.

Right again James.
This is one of the most irritating themes of the show. Keep the eye off the magician and focused on the magicians assistant. The Rhino pitches expensive and sometimes ridiculous modifications as if they were nothing more than a scuff mark on the floor.
A young couple having a baby specifically asked to see houses with a tub. Perfectly easy to understand why and not hard to find.
Rhino legs sells them on a house without a tub and convinces them to simply go out and buy a small baby pool and stick it in the shower.
Really?
Who TF are you trying to kid Rhino?
The notion of suggesting such an absurd work around is quite frankly insulting even to watch. In about a week that couple would be kicking themselves in the ass for going along with such an impractical solution.
I’ll bet Sandra fly’s all the way back to Canada laughing her ass off.
Good work James.
I however will continue to watch the show so I can also educate and inform the public how not to be scammed by the Rhino.

Has it ever occurred to anyone commenting to bash the show that there is a little thing called a remote? It lets you change the channel or turn the tv off. I know, shocking what the brainiacs of the world will come up with. See, hours upon hours of footage is shot and then, it’s edited down until it’s at the draft of what you say when you tune in. Every show and every film is made in post-production in editing. Plus, there’s something called formatting, where the host follows guidelines passed down from the production company, network or studio, which is most of what people are complaining about. She’s the figurehead of the show and not the person actually responsible for what you see. She’s there, doing her job, just like the camera guy, director and producer. So, if you’d like to point the finger at someone, start pointing it at the guys with the money that make the actual decisions. It’s like blaming Vanna White for the letters not turning fast enough or how she turns them.
Also, seriously, really nothing better to do?

Sandra keep doing what you do, people are just haters, if you stupid enough to buy a house you can’t pay for that’s your fault. People stop blaming everybody for not asking question about house purchasing. When things go wrong in peoples lives its always somebody else fault, If you know nothing about the job or you are not walking in her shoes keep your stupid comments to yourself…

No can do.
That argument has already been made. Nobody woke up one day and decided to go out and find somebody to hate.
I’m sure it’s as rare for others as it is for me to take time out of the day to comment on a woman that ruins the show and gives the industry a bad name.
As one poster said Sandra is the one who delivers the theme with her own personal spin. And it’s that spin, not the show that I’m complaining about.
Take anyone else and put them in the same role and the show would be 10 times better. Sandra or “the Rino” as some put it is just plain rude and overbearing as a person.
When I first saw her I was appalled by her personality and then her voice. I watched a few episodes before I was completely convinced that there was something very wrong about her. I’m sure there is no script. She just reacts to the buyers and does so in the most hideous manner I have ever seen.
Someone else said something about shock value and it’s true. You watch not because you like it but because her presents, voice and manner is shocking to watch. Very much the same as the dog faced boy in a circus act. Or the two headed baby. It’s freakish.
I’m glad I found this site. It confirms the I’m not the only one who thinks this woman is a bad decision.

It appears that I have been operating under a mistaken assumption. I thought the website was called something like “My Biggest Complaint About Sandra Rinomato”. I was not aware that the only comments welcomed were ones extolling her beauty, talent, personality, business acumen and sensitivity in shepherding idiots through the process of home buying. Idiots, I might had, who—despite never having actually gone through the process—are expected to somehow know enough to ask the right questions, avoid the pitfalls and not feel a bit betrayed when the person they HIRED to help them look out for their interests turns out to not have been such a good advocate after all. As “hater” so eloquently put it, (paraphrasing) this is clearly the Idiot’s own fault if things go sour. Of course, it is doubtful that anyone here actually HAS their own television show and similarly, most are probably not licensed realtors or brokers. It is however arguable that failure to be in either of those professions disqualifies one from having—and expressing—- an opinion. I certainly have no expertise in television production, but it does seem to me to be a bit odd to suggest that the ’star’—the person who is the ‘face’ of the program and the one who portrayed as an ‘expert’—– is not responsible for what she says and does. Passing this off as the responsibility of the network management—-the ‘guys with the money’ is like trying to use the discredited defense of “I was only following orders.” While I have no personal knowledge of this, I would place a small bet that Rino is NOT doing what she does and saying what she says while privately disagreeing with the tone and direction of the show. That could be the case, but I would then argue that she really does have an ethical and moral responsibility to act on her beliefs if she is being asked to and say things that violate her conscience. Finally, I would add that we are only expressing OPINIONS here and while we may disagree, it is not necessary—or helpful —to be disagreeable and insulting. I would humbly suggest that perhaps those who persist in insulting anyone whose view of Rino is less than glowing might be happier—at least less likely to have a stroke—- if they would treat this website in much the same way they advise the commenters to ‘change the channel’. But then again, they may well have nothing better to do. (I’m sorry. Was that an insult?)

Those who try and defend the Rino do so in one way. Attack the messenger.
Where have I heard that before?
Almost as much time is spent by Rubber Necker’s giving her the high 5 as is by those giving her the boot.
