Okay, I'm finally ready to publicly embarrass myself...

I constantly get asked, "When are you and Carol going to get your own real estate TV show?!?!" 

Since I enjoy embarrassing myself, I thought I would provide an answer...along with a video...

As backstory, over the past 18 months, my wife and I have been approached by several production companies to do a show, and last year we signed an agreement with one of them to try to put something together. The production company convinced HGTV to send out a crew to shoot a "sizzle reel" (a short video for evaluation by the network execs). They spent four 12-hour days last summer following us around in 105 degree heat and scripting/shooting ridiculous flipping scenarios (we can now answer any questions about how scripted reality shows are).

Ultimately, we couldn't come to any agreement with this production company (let's just say there were "creative differences" -- in other words, we refuse to do just another generic flipping show like they put together in the sizzle reel), but now that our agreement with them has expired, we're talking with a couple other companies.

In the meantime, I thought I would give you a glimpse of the sizzle reel we did...enjoy!
