They were tough shoes to fill, but Jayne Kiely<\/a> and Paul Glover<\/a> did such a good job of being New Zealand\u2019s answer to Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer that their show AA Insurance Location Location Location NZ is back for a second season.<\/p>\n

The Ray White agents both had previous TV experience before signing up for the TVNZ programme \u2013 Jayne as the host of Mitre 10 Dream Home and Paul as an actor in shows like Educators \u2013 but had focused in recent years on building successful real estate careers. They explain how they manage to juggle their busy day jobs with TV work, and why they sometimes look like they\u2019ve coordinated their outfits.<\/p>\n

Q: How has it been doing another season of Location Location Location NZ? <\/p>\n

Jayne: We\u2019ve had such a good time. I\u2019ve loved it. I did have a few nerves before the first one because I hadn\u2019t been on TV for a while, but as soon as the cameras started rolling, I was fine. Because it\u2019s not scripted, you can be yourself. The crew is great \u2013 you get beautiful direction and they give you the skills to make sure you give the best performance you can, and to also help the people who are on the show buying homes feel comfortable. After two days of shooting, our buyers didn\u2019t even realise the cameras were there anymore. <\/p>\n

Paul: It\u2019s been so nice that people have really embraced the show. We\u2019ve had a blast working together.<\/p>\n

Jayne: This season, we know each other so much better, and it\u2019s been like working with an old friend. From the moment we first did the chemistry test, I think everyone knew it would work. <\/p>\n

Paul: We just sort of sparked, and the more we\u2019ve worked together, the easier it has got. We\u2019ve become really good friends. <\/p>\n

Q: Jayne, after 10 seasons on Mitre 10 Dream Home, did you have tips to pass on to Paul about presenting a TV show? <\/p>\n

Jayne: I didn\u2019t need to. Paul was a natural.<\/p>\n

Paul: I think what she\u2019s saying is that I don\u2019t have a filter!<\/p>\n

Jayne: That\u2019s good because it makes life way more interesting. <\/p>\n

Paaul: It didn\u2019t really feel like presenting. In season one, there were a few scripted bits, but they threw those away in season two and said, “Just come up with your own words.” <\/p>\n

Jayne: Everything we said came from the heart. Not everything got done in one take. Our poor director, Marcus, sometimes had to say, \u201cOkay, you two, get back on track.\u201d <\/p>\n

Paul: They\u2019ve probably got enough for a whole episode of out-takes. <\/p>\n

Q: Your roles in the show are quite different to your day job as agents, where you act on behalf of the vendors. How has it been representing the buyers instead? <\/p>\n

Paul: It is the opposite to how we normally work, but we want the buyers to feel that we\u2019re doing our best for them and treating them with respect. When it comes to buying, we give them the same advice we would give our own families. <\/p>\n

Jayne: We get quite protective of our house-hunters. We can be tough with the agents who are selling the properties. The boot is definitely on the other foot!<\/p>\n

Paul: What\u2019s nice is that we are still in touch with a lot of the people who have been on the show and are still looking for a home. We set up WhatsApp chats, and some of them will still message and say, \u201cWhat do you think about this property?\u201d. We help from a distance. It\u2019s not a matter of saying, \u201cBetter luck next time\u201d and disappearing. <\/p>\n

Jayne: There\u2019s one couple who keep missing out on houses. I\u2019m not able to go and look at houses with them, but I am on the phone giving them advice when they need it. We spend two full days with our house-hunters, and there\u2019s a lot of downtime, so we end up chatting to them about their family, their backgrounds, their dreams. We get quite involved.<\/p>\n

Paul: People ask us, \u201cIs it real? Are they really looking for a home?\u201d I\u2019ve had people ask if I\u2019m really a realtor. Yes, I am, and yes, we really are shopping for houses. They have very real budgets. <\/p>\n

Jayne: It is the real deal. You can\u2019t fake the delight, the disappointment, everything that comes with buying and selling a home. I think that\u2019s why people get into it. <\/p>\n

Q: You filmed AA Insurance Location Location Location NZ \u2013 and in your case, Paul, you\u2019ve also worked on Love It or List It and Educators \u2013 while still having busy careers selling houses. How do you manage to do everything? <\/p>\n

Paul: It\u2019s a juggling act. We couldn\u2019t do it without the support of our families and also our colleagues. They\u2019re amazing. <\/p>\n

Jayne: There\u2019s no way we could do this without our teams at HQ. A big shout-out to Amy and Dinusha in my team. <\/p>\n

Paul: And Libby and Fleur in mine. Jayne and I are both incredibly busy, and on the days we\u2019re working on the show we are very committed to the people we\u2019re helping. But behind the scenes, we\u2019re on the phone, we\u2019re trying to tie up deals. <\/p>\n

Jayne: Real estate takes over your life. My kids are adults now but if I wasn\u2019t going home to my husband every night, I could easily be working 24\/7. There are many times when I get home and then sit in my car for an hour sorting out work things before I go in the door so I am not always bringing work home with me.<\/p>\n

Paul: That was me last night. My kids are younger, my partner Belinda is incredible. She carries so much at home. <\/p>\n

You normally work in specific areas of Auckland \u2013 North Shore for you Paul, and eastern suburbs for you, Jayne. Has looking at real estate in other parts of the city and even out of Auckland taken you out of your comfort zone? <\/p>\n

Paul: It\u2019s been good, we\u2019ve enjoyed it. We\u2019d love to go even further, but unlike the UK show, we don\u2019t have the budget or the time to travel all over the country. <\/p>\n

Jayne: The GPS in my car did get well-used. <\/p>\n

Paul: At least you managed to use yours. <\/p>\n

Jayne: He did get lost a few times. Three times, I think? <\/p>\n

Paul: And some. <\/p>\n

Jayne: We did do quite a lot of filming at my house, which was good. <\/p>\n

Paul: Jayne loves to host. <\/p>\n

Jayne: I do. It saved me from having to get in the car and drive places. And I could do my hair and makeup, run downstairs and be ready to go. <\/p>\n

Paul: It\u2019s really nice when we do travel to other parts of the country and people come up to us and say they love the show. <\/p>\n

Q: Do you get a lot of feedback from the public about it? <\/p>\n

Jayne: We do. It\u2019s really lovely. People are very supportive. Although I\u2019ve been at the beach in tights and a sweater, my hair in a top-knot and no makeup on, and had a lady look at me and say, \u201cAre you Jayne Kiely?\u201d I said yes, and she said, \u201cOh. You look quite different.\u201d Yep. I can\u2019t always go out in full hair and makeup. <\/p>\n

Paul: I can\u2019t go to the local shops in a hoodie anymore. I got caught out in my hoodie and Ugg boots, looking pretty relaxed. Someone later said to me, \u201cDid I see you at the shop in ugg boots and a hoodie?\u201d I said, \u201cNo, wasn\u2019t me.\u201d <\/p>\n

Q: Paul, you\u2019re becoming known for your wide range of colourful blazers. How many have you got? <\/p>\n

Paul: Quite a few. In a lot of colours. I do like them. Although I bought one I loved, then got it home and wasn\u2019t sure. It sat in my wardrobe for about four months, then I thought, I really should wear this. Once I had the courage to do that, people said to me, \u201cThat\u2019s an amazing blazer.\u201d It\u2019s lilac. <\/p>\n

Jayne: I love that one. It\u2019s my favourite. <\/p>\n

Paul: I\u2019ve even started wearing my blazers with jeans. Jayne said to me one day, \u201cCome on, try one with jeans.\u201d So I did. Next, I\u2019ll be wearing a singlet and board shorts. <\/p>\n

Jayne: I\u2019m a blazer and jeans kind of girl myself. I wear my own clothes for the show. I have borrowed a few pieces from shops near where I work, but I\u2019m not a frilly girl, I\u2019m happiest in jeans. <\/p>\n

Paul: There have been a few days when we\u2019ve turned up to film and pretty much been in the same clothes. I\u2019ve thought, I really should have checked with Jayne to see what she was wearing. <\/p>\n

Q: Having worked with house-hunters on the show, what\u2019s the one piece of advice you would give buyers? <\/p>\n

Jayne: Make sure all your ducks are in a row before you start seriously looking. Get your finances sorted, so if you see something you want, you can jump on it straight away. If you don\u2019t have that side of things sorted, you can\u2019t go to an auction, you can\u2019t buy anything. <\/p>\n

Paul: Don\u2019t give up. It can be really frustrating if you keep missing out. When I was buying my first home, a mortgage broker said to me, \u201cYou\u2019re going to look at 100 houses. You\u2019ll maybe put offers on 10. You\u2019ll end up buying one.\u201d It may not be exactly those numbers, but it can be hard, and there will be some heartbreak, but eventually you will get lucky, and there will be a home for you in your budget.<\/p>\n
