TVBad luck for the fans of ‘Blind Bought’. Béa Vandendael, the red-haired realestate agent, is taking a break and will therefore not be seen in the newseason. She made this known via social media.
“After 4 seasons, 33 episodes and 29 exciting house purchases, I have decided,with a lot of pain in my heart, to take a ‘Blind bought’ break”, BéaVandendael said on social media. “The past few years have been very tough andcertainly the past two years I had to go very deep in the search for the idealdream homes. The housing market was overheated due to the corona pandemic andthe combination of lower budgets, higher prices and higher expectations didnot make it any easier. Combining ‘blindly bought’ with my busy job at ERAIMMPULS, where I strive full-time for successful purchases and sales of realestate, has become too much. I had to decide to take a little less hay on thefork. That’s a really hard decision, but it’s just important to put my healthfirst for now, no matter how much effort it takes me.”

However, it will not be a final goodbye. “I’ve had a lot of fun, cursing,crying and laughing during our adventures. That’s something I cherish, andthis decision won’t change that. But now I just have to think about myself,that’s a priority right now. And we’ll see what the future brings.” It is notyet clear who will replace Béa.
Challenges
In ‘De Morgen’, Béa already talked about the challenges associated with herjob. “Real estate prices have risen in recent years, but does that make my jobmore difficult? It has become especially more difficult for the buyer. Peoplewant a ready-to-move-in house,” it sounded. “While: if they were satisfiedwith a house that they could adapt to their dream home over the course offifteen years, they could spread their budget. Then there are more options.Yes, that’s easy to say. But what if you miss out on your dream home becauseno one pointed out the opportunities to you? That’s the worst thing that couldhappen to you.”
“It is up to me to point this out to people,” she continued. “I don’t spinaround the pot. You have to challenge people, dare to question their wishes,to make them so happy. That’s also why I didn’t hesitate to participate in’Blind Bought’: people who participate in it are really distraught. And Ibelieve that everyone has the right to a happy home. I want to help thosepeople. And I wanted to show Flanders that there is a right house foreveryone, there is a lid for every pot. You just have to find it and want tosee it. Does that sound like a missionary? I am not a saint, however.”
