Casting Call!

by Darrin DeRoches August 4 - 10, 2011

We are looking for families who are looking to purchase a property with a family member who are interested being on a new TV show called “My House, Your Money!” Below is the email we received from the casting director which explains the show:     Good Morning, Darrin!     We are still looking for families for a brand new show, from the producers of quality real estate programs “Property Virgins,” “Property Brothers” and “The Unsellables” and I wanted to contact you again, as our episodes are quickly being cast.      Since our last messages, the show has been re-titled, “My House, Your Money” but its focus remains the same – parents, assisting their adult children with the purchase of a home.  A couple of examples:  Parents contributing to the down–payment of their adult child’s first home (or second or third...); Parents purchasing a student house, for their University–bound child.     Each episode features a family, maneuvering through the excitement of property purchase, with their unique dynamic and the agent who guides them on their journey.     A time commitment of about four days is required to shoot one half hour episode. All the best, Debra Taylor (Casting Director) MY HOUSE, YOUR MONEY         We have been chosen to do an episode of the show and are trying to find a family who is interested in purchasing a new property and are willing to be filmed during the entire process. The show will pay up to $2,000 dollars as an appearance fee for the four–day commitment, which will really help out with your down payment. Unique Realty will take care of all your real estate needs and the filming company will pay you for appearance on the show, even if we do not complete a purchase of a property.  The show is very specific about the dynamic between the parent and child who are buying the home.  The child can be the one buying the home for the parent or vice versa. Both the parent and child have to be willing to be on camera for the four days.     We are excited that a production company would come to Hamilton and film throughout our city and we would hate to miss this opportunity to showcase the real estate market in our city.  We have already filmed an audition for the show and the process is very easy and laid back and you will not really notice the cameras once the process begins, so give us a call and we can give you more information about this unique opportunity!   V                                      Darrin DeRoches is a local real estate and mortgage broker.
