Anyone know how to get on those HGTV shows?

No idea but good luck. Maybe there's a link on their websites

There is a link on their website.

www.hgtv.com under the 'on tv' tab is one that says 'be on HGTV'

Good luck, that would be cool to be on one of those shows.

Property Brothers recently finished a project here next door to a friend of mine - they applied online.

Apparently a number of these shows do a few in a row in one area/region, so it's worth trying to figure out where they're working - in case someone drops out. I don't know if that's true, but that's the scuttlebutt.

Oh - I'll have to look today see if I can find them

Ok so I looked these things up - unfortunately the Property Brothers are going to be filming in Austin TX - I will keep an eye to see if anything changes.

House Hunters seems like it would be a pain in the a$$. I read the details - 5 days - Day 1 interview at current residence and of us doing crap around our city showing our lifestyle, etc. Day 2 full day touring 3 houses Day 3 full day at second property (FULL DAY) Day 4 full day toruing final property - day 5 follow up interview after you move in and you doing crap around your new neighborhood. I don't mind the day 1 and 5 - but full days at each property?

They pay you a measly $500 and after all that you may end up not being on TV - although we would be so entertaining of course they would want us. And the HOA where we live now would have to sign a release - that would be a pain to try to get them to sign off - especially as we would get to complain about them - crazy neighbor would be a great thing for the show as well.

Maybe we can wait until after we move and get some sort of home make over - I think the teen remodel would be great.

If you are selling, crazy neighbors might not be the hot tip.

No buying that is what House Hunters is for...they help you find a home...

But they interview you at home (condo/crazy neighbor place) and film you and stuff to show what you are like - then at the end they do the opposite to show how happy and satisfied you are with your new home that house hunters helped you find.

I thought the crazy neighbor at our current location would be appealing and amusing to the audience. And the show wouldn't be on until after you sell, buy and move so they can show you all happy and crap at your new location.

Where did you see that they were filming in Austin?

We have the perfect house for a remodle show. Great potential, but needs work and more importantly, vision and design! The house is in the country at the end of a single street subdivision just outside of the city limits..so very few permit requirements. The house is in a deed restricted area, but this lot is exspressly exempted from the HOA deed restrictions! Thiese things combined would really streamline production of a reality TV remodle show.

You may have missed them, redtail. Last post was March of last year.

Welp, maybe they're back.
