land park home on house huntersI know I said in the past that I would never go on the cable TV show House Hunters, but a few weeks ago I found myself eating those words. Hey, sometimes it happens that we change our minds -- it's a woman's prerogative. After all, I reasoned, I've done a few TV shows, and they are actually kind of fun. Besides, I am certain I will most likely bring a warped sense of humor to the show. Mark my words, I will NOT walk into the kitchen waving my arms to pronounce that "This is the kitchen." Besides, the kitchen in this Land Park home is open to the living room and doesn't exactly have a defined space within four walls.

My clients are pumped about it, too. Which is good because after the producers of House Hunters emailed me, I approached a bunch of clients to see if they had an interest, and most of them were too camera shy. In a few cases, the wife wanted to go on the show, but the husband did not, or vice versa. Others couldn't take off work.

These lucky buyers, though, are buying a magnificent home near William Land Park -- not too far from where I live in Land Park -- which is closing next month. They are beautiful, witty and charming people who will undoubtedly make valuable contributions to the Land Park community.  That's all I can tell you about it for now.  There is also talk about filming another . . . more later.

Wow!  That is sooo cool!  I think I'd be camera shy, too.  However, I think I might get over it.   :)   If they need a realtor in Missouri, send them my way....  :)

Would love to hear more about the experience behind-the-scenes.  The finished post-production show is always so polished.

Elizabeth, when you get all famous and everyone is asking for your autograph from all this TV exposure, remember us little people who were here at the start ; ) Seriously, go for it. The exposure sounds great for you. Keep us posted on this experience.

I am soooo loving this group! Lizette is on the radio, Elizabeth is on television... Your Chaotic Mama is very proud of her CC babies. I'm gonna have to start a scrapbook and collect articles and pictures.

You ladies ROCK!

Kudos and congrats Sister E! Sounds like fun!

I hope you update this when it is ready to air.  I don't get a chance to watch much television but I do really like house hunters.  I know they were looking for ideas for Davis, my office was having a hard time finding buyers who wanted to be on the show.

Hello everybody: Absolutely, I will post the air date.

And Carolyn: It is hard to find buyers who would be interested; not everybody feels comfortable in front of the camera. Others feel it is an invasion of privacy and don't want to showcase their new home on television. Yet, they'll post a YouTube video. Go figure. :) But, hey, at least one Lyon Real Estate office will get filmed.

Elizabeth, please put me on your list to contact with the air date. I watch that show all the time. Can't wait to say to my wife " I know her!" he he

You will have to let us know when it airs.  I'll make sure and catch that episode.  (Been too busy lately to watch much, but will definitely make an effort to see you and your buyers.)

Hi Jim and Sandra: Well, the producers received my buyers' video tape, such as it was, only in pieces that uploaded, but they have a good sense of who the buyers are. I should hear about a filming date early next week, and after that, the actual air date. I will let you know. The buyers are so excited and pumped over this. I met them today for a home inspection and the first words out of their mouths was not, "where is the home inspector" nor "what do we need to know about a home inspection." It was "When do we film?"

Oh, how fun!  I love HGTV and Househunters is one of my favorite shows. (...and my hubby's least favorite).   I'm fearful I'll miss the air date.  These auto notifications don't always show up...

On second thought...perhaps you need to start "tweeting" if you aren't already!  I'm already "following."  :-)

Oh wow. I'd be a nervous wreck! Of course, it doesn't take much to put me in that state. LOL  But that's one of those things that I'd love to do, but at the same time scare me speechless.
