Getting cast on an HGTV show is not as complicated as one would think.<\/p>\n
HGTV shows would be nothing without homeowner hopefuls looking for their dream place or clients looking to transform their current properties. And just as the network airs several home renovation and real estate shows, there are several ways fans can apply to be cast on their favorite series.<\/p>\n
For one, viewers can head to HGTV\u2019s website<\/a> to see which shows are accepting client applicants. Currently listed on the channel\u2019s website are casting calls for an unnamed Property Brothers<\/a> <\/em>series, House Hunters<\/a><\/em>, My Lottery Dream Home<\/a><\/em>, and more. HGTV\u2019s casting calls feature external website links or email addresses for fans to submit their applications through.<\/p>\n Fans looking to appear on a specific series can also keep an eye out for casting announcements on the show\u2019s social media accounts. Earlier this month, the official Instagram page for Love It or List It<\/a> <\/em>posted a casting call<\/a> for residents in Toronto, Canada.<\/p>\n \u201cDo you want to be on TV? Is your current house no longer working for you, and you\u2019re considering a move?\u201d read the casting call. \u201cOur skilled designer and team of experts will transform your current living space into a stylish and functional environment that caters to you and your family\u2019s needs, while our real estate guru is tasked with finding you the home of your dreams. If you\u2019re in the GTA and have a design budget of at least $75,000, then apply to be on this exciting series! For more information, please head to the link in our bio or visit loveitorlistit.castingcrane.com<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Some HGTV stars, such as Drew<\/a> and Jonathan Scott<\/a>, may also have casting information on their personal websites. \u201cApplying through this webpage, hgtv.com, hgtv.ca, and DrewandJonathan.com are the only ways to be cast on one of our shows,\u201d the duo\u2019s website<\/a> states. \u201cIf you are contacted by anyone claiming to be affiliated with HGTV, Scott Brothers Entertainment and\/or the Property Brothers by Direct Message on social media or by means other than through our verified channels, please do not reply to them.\u201d<\/p>\n While the application process is pretty easy, actually getting cast on a show often comes down to circumstance. Help! I Wrecked My House<\/a><\/em> host Jasmine Roth<\/a> opened up about the casting process<\/a> for her own show in a September 2023 blog post<\/a>, and how several factors go into picking the right people for the series.<\/p>\n \u201cBecause we\u2019re making a TV show, we have to follow all the construction and progress on camera. So if your project is a multi-year project (like many of my @builtcustomhomes projects are) it won\u2019t work for TV. Sorry!\u201d she wrote, adding that people with renovation budgets \u201cover $150,000\u201d aren\u2019t as likely to be selected for a show.<\/p>\n \u201cOther than that, generally speaking, if you check off the needs for whatever show is casting in your area, you could be picked!\u201d she continued. \u201cAnd just so you know, another reason I\u2019ve turned down families for my show is unrealistic expectations. I love ambition and I love a good pie-in-the-sky plan, but if I tell a family that something isn\u2019t going to be possible and they don\u2019t seem to believe me, that\u2019s a big red flag that they\u2019re going to be problem clients.\u201d<\/p>\n Read the latest entertainment news on TV Insider<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
