HGTV's "What's With That Really Expensive House?" and What's It Have To Do With Me?

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty Executives -BRIO

I just finished watching HGTV's "What's With That Really Expensive House?" and there was a house featured in the program that I have been in.  The program visited 5 homes from all over the US ranging from $22,000,000 to $79,000,000.  Three of them were waterfront homes, and all had amazing amenities, with the most expensive one in Corona Del Mar having a car elevator, water slide, and the house looked like an airport terminal, or a wave as two neighbors noted in the program.

The house I have been in is on Mercer Island, just outside of Seattle, and is listed for sale, on the Seattle Real Estate market, for $40,000,000 although the program said $44,000,000.  I was part of a cadre of agents enlisted to (safe) guard rooms for an invitation only Open House.  I was in charge of the Family Room which was one of the rooms shown on the program, along with the Entry Foyer with an enormousChihuly chandelier, and the indoor saltwater pool with the Egyptian theme.  It was exciting to be a part of the Open House and to have a tour of the house a few hours before, something the program did not mention is that the house has 3 kitchens!  This was a few years ago, just a few months after I had become a Seattle Real Estate Agent, and it left quite an impression!
