REALTORS... tune into this opportunity NOW!

So I've been talking to Kim Segal a researcher working for HGTV. The BIG OPPROTUNITY and news I was hinting at in my earlier blog from today is that HGTV's #1 Real Estate Show wants to feature realtors in Chicago! (Kim is also looking for realtors in Denver, Raleigh, Vancouver, and Montreal!)

"BUY ME" is HGTV's reality-based TV series that chronicles the real-life drama of selling a home. From "For Sale" to "SOLD", each episode features a new story with a different entertaining twist.

"BUY ME" will tell your story by taking their viewers behind-the-scenes to meet your sellers, buyers, contractors, stagers and home inspectors. Televised across Canada and the United States, "Buy Me" gives participating agents TV exposure on a massive scale. As an added incentive, Homeowners receive a cash bonus.

Debbie Travis - famous for her decorating flair and hit series' The Painted House and Facelift, is the show's executive producer.

GOOD NEWS Real Estate Agents in DENVER, RALEIGH, VANCOUVER, CALGARY and MONTREAL they are looking agents there too!

Kim's Criteria: Extroverted homeowners and agents, single family homes, more then 1 person occupying the home, new listings preferred.

INTERESTED in being on the show? Well you can contact Kim Segal (a major sweetheart!) right here on Active Rain. (I invited her to join!)

Or you can contact Kim via phone at: (514) 846-1940 ext. 242 or email Kim directly at kim@buymetv.com.

This is an AWESOME OPPORTUNITY for MEMBERS of ActiveRain... THIS is just what ActiveRain is all about!

PS: Welcome Kim!

stage it forward...

Thanks Craig- I definitely threw my name in the hat! Good concept.

I know that there are way too many homes on the market and hitting the market unprepared..meaning they are helping their competition sell! yep- when a buyer compares a "staged" / prepared home to a home thrown on the market after the ink dries which do you think the buyer is gonna fall for!?!

(unless he really likes the unprepared home then he is prepared to drastically reduce the offer price.)

Great pic Craig! I spoke with Kim earlier today. Unfortunately they need locations closer to downtown (30-40 minutes in rush hour) than Naperville.

It sounds like great fun, she is looking for interesting projects and they really like people with big personalities. This is a start to finish project, they go on the listing appointment, home inspection, staging appointment, open houses, offers, closing etc...

Too bad... I was in the mooooood

Craig - they should do a show with you called "The Real Estager" in between creative bouts of home sale preparation you could solve crimes and promote world harmony through the use of humor and great blog pictures.

I think it would sell, really!
