If anyone has a link to the episode that would be cool to see.
I have heard that you basically have to be under contract already on the house you decide on, as Cate mentioned you need to be basically ready to close on it. Its already a done deal and they film backwards in time.

Regarding the one in Alton, it was listed by Blue Water, switched to Nicole Watkins for a very short period, then back to Blue Water. Probably had something to do with this.
