HGTV’s My First Sale Starts Casting in DC Area

by Mark Wellborn

The HGTV program My First Sale is currently holding casting calls in the DC area.

According to a press release, My First Sale is a show that “captures the trials and tribulations, stress and success of prepping for sale, pricing, negotiating, and ultimately selling of a home for the first time.”

The show is looking for first-time home sellers and their real estate agents in the DC/NoVa area. Taping will begin in the coming weeks and will continue through the winter.

We took a look at the application and picked out a couple of the more interesting questions:

If you are selling as a single, you may be asked to have a trusted friend join you for some of the process. This person would serve as your sounding board.  Who would you choose as a sounding board and why?

Tell us why you think you’ll have a high tolerance for having a camera crew follow you around during the potentially stressful period of selling your first place?

For more intformation on the application process, contact Sami Hartman at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

    Wish they had done this last year—over the past year, I went through FSBO, had a sale fall through days before closing, then finally got an amazing realtor and closed last month.

    Mark,
    I got an email from one of the producers asking if I had clients who wanted to try out. If anyone is interested in some 15-minutes of fame, please call me!
