Many of you may be familiar with the HGTV show, My First Place. It features 1st time home buyers going through the steps (and challenges) of buying a first home. Well, good news for Austin fans: The search is on for candidates to film in our fair city.
The network is seeking high-energy people who are just beginning the home-buying process and looking for their very first home. And limitations are light - singles, couples and families who live within a one-hour drive from Austin are eligible. Apply today, and feel free to ask me for help - it's why I am here.
Oh, besides the opportunity for 15 minutes of fame, HGTV throws in a nice surprise: Candidates chosen for the show will receive a housewarming gift during the course of shooting, typically unveiled after closing.
A final kicker for buyers? Even if they don't qualify for the show, the market is still on their side. Interest rates are the lowest they've been in my lifetime and Austin is witnessing a majority of sellers reducing prices on homes for sale. For all of the reports that discuss the difficulty of securing a loan, it's not as difficult as you might think to qualify today.
So if you know someone who is interested in buying or selling a home (and may or may not want to be on TV), please email me with the contact information. Thanks!
