Reality Realty – TV Casting Calls

Kristn.jpg 

Sure, I am a great agent. Sure, I am a devoted wife and mother. And, of course, I am a blogging phenomenon.

Well, that last one is a bit of a stretch, but at least I have left someone out there with the perception that one or two folks read our blog. On that note, I have to laugh that this week I find myself the darling of Reality TV, or at least it appears that HGTV and A&E have added me to their social network address book.

First, this from my new BFF Holly with My House is Worth What?:

HGTV’s My House is Worth What? is coming to your town!
Owning a home can be a great investment. And with the ups and downs of the current real estate
market, it may be worth your while to find out what your home may sell for in today’s market! Appear
on our television show My House is Worth What? and get a free evaluation of your home by the
experts and our host Kendra Todd, season 3 winner of The Apprentice.

They are looking for homeowners who have made or are contemplating improvements to their homes and are interested in the potential impact on their property’s value. What fun! Here’s your link

On a related note, the folks at Flip This House have asked that I plug their casting for the upcoming season.

813 Casting and Departure Films are conducting a nationwide search for the new cast of characters who will be featured on the upcoming season of Flip This House! Will it be your team?

We’re looking for confident, charismatic, motivated and opinionated people who “flip” residential properties for a living. We want real-estate adrenaline junkies who love the high risk, high reward nature of their jobs and who are devoted to doing a great job!

If you would like your team to be featured on the upcoming season of Flip This House, send an email to fth@813casting.com. Include your contact info, bios on you and your team, and some reasons why your team should be the next to be featured on Flip This House! Teams should consist of four or more people.

A&E is offering a $500 finder’s fee to anyone referring a future cast member. While I think anyone in San Diego who is in the house flipping business should really be applying to The Biggest Loser right now, I’ve done the math. If I am the procuring cause in 10,000 of you getting accepted for the show, I can retire. Tell them I sent you.

(In our next Reality Realty installment, I will share my post-semi-final interview rejection letter from the dudes at Survivor. A true story, I’m afraid).

They asked me to help them do a show here in Boise this past week and I declined.
Last thing we need in Boise is another wave of get-rich-quick flippers and “investors” flooding in here.
It is next to impossible to buy anything “right enuf” to make a profit flipping after acquisition costs, rehab costs, sales costs, and paying ordinary income tax rates on the remaining (dubious) profit!
Am I the only who’s amazed that anyone is still watching these shows?

I may apply. All I have to do is ignore neighborhood values, current building codes and park all the utility trailers on neighbor’s yard and tell them to get over it, I’m improving the neighborhood.
