Just spotted this on the Columbia Heights Yahoo Listserve: the HGTV network is looking for people selling their houses for their Real Estate Intervention show. The show helps people whose houses have been on the market for awhile, which is probably fairly common around here. They’ll help “stage” your house, i.e. make it look nicer, for free, and it might be fun. Here’s the description, with lots of exclamation points:
The show features people battling difficult odds trying to sell their home. As in previous seasons of our program, straight-talking Realtor Mike Aubrey will take home sellers inside their competition to help show them exactly where their home stands in the current market. The goal is to help you land a quick sale while educating the sellers and viewers of the difficulties of today’s market—and showing them first-hand that the real estate market is not the same as it was in 2005! However, we are throwing in a twist for the new season of Real Estate Intervention—HGTV star Sabrina Soto will help stage the property to better your chances of a quick sale! At our cost!!!
