How did you come up with the idea for the show?
Making a home purchase, for a lot of homebuyers and potential homebuyers, it's a big purchase. In your lifetime, it's probably one of the biggest, if not most major purchases you'll ever make — buying a home. That can be a really intimidating process. Adding to that, if you're considering renovating the home, whether it be a big or small project, can be even more intimidating and even scarier for a lot of homebuyers. What this show is really about is homebuyers that are struggling to find the perfect house. They have very specific wants and needs for this new house that they're looking for, which is basically what everybody [who] goes into buying a home is looking for. Tthey're not finding what they want. They're looking at the top of their price range.
I'm helping guide them to look at properties in a different way. [It's] not about necessarily finding the cheapest house on the market. It's about finding a house that's a steal, and it's a steal because a lot of other people overlooked it. There might be a lot of different reasons why it was overlooked. It could be the existing decor, it could be the type of flooring, it could be the layout, it could be the location.
I'm helping guide them through the process of finding the right home that's a steal, and instead of applying their maximum budget to this house, this one house that doesn't meet all their wants and needs, I'm helping them change their perspective on finding a house at a lower price point and using some of that money towards renovating to get the exact house that they want.
[It's about] not settling for a house at the top of their budget, but finding a steal at a different price point and using some of that money to renovate the house. That is the theme behind the show ... me helping guide them through the process using my experience in real estate and renovation and getting the house that they really want, their dream home. Allowing viewers to see that style of show will hopefully entice them and also excite them about looking at the real estate market differently.
