Today was an exciting Monday for us !

We received a phone call a few months ago about the possibility for one of our hometown properties being featured on HGTV's show HIDDEN POTENTIAL.

 Well today, after much behind the scene details, that dream became a reality. Van loads of equipment and a caravan of vehicles, filled with kind and very knowledgeable production crew, spent several hours here in our Vale of Paradise !

 The Shows Star Host Brandie Malay, and feature Architect/Designer Barry Wood were both gracious enough to take a moment from their busy schedules to take a photo with us.

HGTV's Hidden Potential STARS and Jeff and Grace Safrin REALTORS

 These chic professionals bring much expertise to the show!

Barry Wood is an Architect and has his own NY, New York Design/Development Firm 

Brandie Malay is also a Professional REALTOR, ABR in nearby Chicago, IL

 This Future EPISODE # 608 of Hidden Potential, will probably not air on TV until early fall. The actual Filming of the Home and it's Potential Make-Over was off limits to us. We did get to greet the potential Buyers who have a big decision to make.... picking one of three homes that have been re-designed to meet their future housing needs!

We can, however, show you the picturesque setting in Porter County where this soon to be on TV home sits!

You know what they say.......Location.....Location....Location.... you can graphically redesign and make structural changes to any home.......But the scenery here at this property has been a work in progress by Mother Nature for many years :)

This whole production process has been an enjoyable learning experience, not to mention positive press for us and NW Indiana REAL ESTATE ! 

We don't Have Palm Trees in NW Indiana....lol

We don't have good weather all year round... Thank God it was a beautiful sunny day today!

But we do have scenic countryside and affordable housing, along with low taxes & award winning schools!

 THANK YOU HGTV and the Hidden Potential Crew. From the Producers and Directors, to the Camera man, Set up & lighting crew and Make up Artist etc...thanks to you all for your hard work and efforts to feature a NW Indiana Property! A special thanks to Brandie & Barry as well,  for sharing what we love about our Home Town with the rest of the world !

Thanks Dave appreciate you stopping by it was a very exciting porcess - The home itself needs work - so they will point that out for sure on the show no doubt - but the setting is sooo beautiful and peaceful. As soon as they assign it a date we will post an update :) appreciate you comment.

Sincerely,

Grace

Thanks to you all for taking time to stop by and for sharing your comments!

Hello Duane, I will post a blog when they email me the episodes release date !

Hello David, the estimate they gave us is not till early fall

Hello Jo-Anne, the architect is more handsome in person than TV portrays - so the 2nd day he brought me and autographed photo ( he is also a model) Jeff teases me about it LOL.

Hello Kevin - A blast is a great way to describe it.... the second day I followed the cameraman (who also subcontracts for Oprah :)

Sincerely to all,

Grace
