New HGTV Shows Aim to Help Viewers Cope With Soft Real Estate Market

Dec 2, 2008  •  Post A Comment

HGTV is dealing with the sluggish economy and depressed real estate market by premiering shows that offer advice on better ways to buy and sell and to boost home equity.
The new shows premiere Jan. 1 during an afternoon marathon before moving into prime-time slots. They include “The Unsellables,” “Desperate to Buy,” “Income Property” and “The Property Shop.”
“In this difficult real estate market, we will continue to provide the best information on television about how to maintain and increase the value of your home,” said Freddy James, senior VP of program development and production, HGTV.
On “The Unsellables,” property guru and British TV personality Sofie Allsopp, along with contractor Anthony Sayers, will show viewers how to tackle cluttered kitchens, messy bedrooms and outdated design.
On the docudrama “Desperate to Buy,” viewers will follow along as the anxious home buyers navigate their way through the tenuous real estate world.
“Income Property,” hosted by renovation expert Scott McGillivray, will help homeowners with high mortgage payments and low cash flow create “rental suites” in their homes as a way to help cut monthly expenses.
Viewers will follow Realtor-turned-broker Tatiana Londono as she competes head-to-head with major real estate agencies to rise to the top of the real estate world on “Property Shop.”

  1. I love hgtv the shows are so well put together .they make you really feel that you can do the projects yourself even if your house is fine you find yourself looking to go to home depot everytime.

  2. I can’t believe HGTV added the show “The Property Shop” to its line-up. The show’s primary personality, Tatiana Londono, is rude and back stabs potential sellers and buyers, and is evident that she is concerned only with her commission and not to really help people. This is not in line with HGTV’s intent to educate and reduce people’s concerns with today’s real estate conditions. This type of show does not belong to HGTV’s wholesome type shows. I hope HGTV will pull the plug on this show.

  3. I disagree. I think Tatiana is an ambitious, hard working woman who is driven to succeed. She is willing to work and sacrifice to create success for herself and her family. She is a gutsy woman and that’s what it takes to succeed in real estate. Of course she thinks about the commission. She is a skilled professional with a good deal of expertise. What professional doesn’t consider their bottom line? They wouldn’t be in business very long if they didn’t. I hope her agency is a smashing success and I am enjoying watching the ride. Good luck Tatiana!

  4. I love property shop. I can’t wait for Saturdays to see Titiana. I think she is a go getter and she is interested in making money, who isn’t. I wish her great success in her business and I hope HGTV continues to keep her on. She’s great.

  5. why have you taken all the decorating shows off the air at nite?? We people who have to work never get to watch them. I’m tired of House Hunters Inter’l House Hunters. Looking @ million
    dollars homes You need to get realistic. You took
    off Decorating Cents which was one of the best shows.
    Design on a Dime was also good. Now all we get
    is buying & selling homes. We need some good
    entertainment

  6. Property Shop would probably better with someone else besides T.Londono ‘She does not act or look as a professional person to do this job. She is rude and also look very unprofessional and her hair style,she looks like she is wearing a color mop or broom. After watching this program two times ,I now won’t watch this unless you get someone else to take T.Londono place. Sorry to say and HGTV is one of my favorite station.Thanks for hearing me out.J.B.
