HGTV announces open casting call for Realtors®

HGTV is looking for energetic Realtors® who are passionate about helping buyers in their search for a new home to be a part of their House Hunters television series. There is an open casting call to Realtors® across America to be featured on the show.

From touring open houses to making offers, the show takes viewers behind the scenes as buyers work with a Realtor® to decide which home is best for them.  Each episode shows the process as buyers search for a home.

When submitting an application for the show, candidates must be a Realtor® in a major U.S. city and have clients who are ready to buy a home or in the last stages of making an offer. If selected for further consideration, candidates will be asked to submit an audition video.

The audition video would include the following:

  • Your name, agency and area you work within.
  • What was the challenge of working with your clients?
  • What was your strategy for finding them a home?

Realtors® should contact their clients to see if they would be interested in being on the show with them. Buyers are encouraged to be energetic, fun and have specific home buying needs. Once clients agree to apply, they must fill out an application and will be notified if their submission is up for consideration.

Last year, HGTV camera crews followed Pittsburgh area Realtors® and their first time home buyers for the network’s show My First Place, which documents first time home buyers’ experiences when searching for a home.

Realtor® applicants are encouraged to read the casting company’s frequently asked questions section on their website before applying. There is no application deadline. Filming takes place year round.
