HGTV (Home & Garden Television) will soon be profiling the Metro Atlanta market and Atlanta homeowners on its television program, National Open House. National Open House is a real estate show which compares different real estate markets around the country to give viewers a good idea of how far their money can go between markets.

They will be shooting in Metro Atlanta March 5th thru March 9th. They are looking to find homeowners who own properties valued within the following price points: $250K ($230K - $270K), $300K ($275K - $325K), $500K ($475K - $525K), $600K ($575K - $625K), $750K ($725K - $775K), $800K ($775K - $825K), and $1 Million ($900K - $1.15 Million). Homes valued at more than $1.15 Million are not eligible.

This is an opportunity for enthusiastic FSBO.com homeowners to showcase their property and talk about why they love Atlanta!

Interested Homeowners Must:
*Have furnished homes
*Homes must be owner-occupied
*Fit one of the above price-points
*Be available for 4 hours on one of the days they will be in town filming
*Be willing to talk about the value of their home and why they chose to buy in the Atlanta market

Please note: HGTV cannot guarantee when the episodes will air - if the home is currently for sale, it may be sold before the episode premieres

If interested, please leave a comment with your FSBO.com ID #, and we will send you instructions for getting your home included on this television program.

NOTE:  These are the types of opportunities we will be seeking out for our customers all year long, and into the future.  Please check back on the blog regularly for great opportunities such as this.

Awesome experience. The closing contract worksheet was well worth the $30 cost … it saved $18,000 of our $80,000 profit.
