My First Home is a half-hour series for TLC that focuses on the ups and downs of first-time homebuyers as they undertake the most important purchase of their lives. They meet the buyers and learn what they are looking for and tell their story of how they found their first home.  They will meet with the REALTOR who guided the buyers through each step as they search and find their new home.  The show will combine the basic facts of home buying with the emotional journey of the buyers.
 
They are looking for couples who are outgoing, energetic, and interesting first time buyers with a great story to tell. They understand that every first time buyer has a great story to tell and we want to share these stories with other perspective first time buyers.

It is a recreation show and they recreate all events that occurred during the buyers process.  They are looking for the most memorable first time buyers who have closed between May 2009 and the end of December 2009.  The bigger the personality and excitement for being on the show, the better the chance the buyers will be featured on the show.

There are no fees or costs to the REALTOR or Realty Company.  If cast, they ask the REALTOR be available during shooting and assist in finding homes that were similar to what the buyer saw during their search.  During each half hour episode we will tour at least 3 homes (one is the actual home the buyers bought).

The production crew will travel to you (we are based in Los Angeles) and spend one week on site recreating the home search and other events (Home visits, inspection, meeting with lenders, etc. ) as they happened.
 
All of our participants from the last three season have had a great experience with our crew and enjoyed watching the final product.  For more information on the show please visit:

They are looking for casting tapes to come in ASAP!  The sooner they get a tape the better chance the REALTOR and buyers have of getting cast.  The crew will hopefully be coming to Tucson in either January or February of 2010.
