When you’re in house hunt mode, HGTV is a great place to get ideas about what you want and need, whether through their shows, website, magazine, or Pinterest page. Now if you like your inspiration to be one-dimensional, those resources are perfectly fine. But if 3-D, multisensory inspiration is your jam, there are at least four Active listings in the area you can visit in person to derive HGTV-sanctioned inspiration. Better still, if the price is right, you could own one! Who doesn’t want to be surrounded by the stuff their Pinterest boards are made of … all day, e’er day?
HGTV’s Ultimate House Hunt 2023 provides us with that opportunity. Homes for sale from across the U.S. can be nominated, and there are five homes in North Texas that have been chosen as Finalists (one has already sold) under the Ebby Halliday Companies umbrella. After all, Ebby Halliday Realtors and Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate regularly list some of the region’s most PR-worthy listings. Last year, a DPMRE listing was voted the overall Winner of the Amazing Kitchens category by your fellow Americans (and probably a lot of other countries’ citizens who like pretty houses, too).
Amazing Kitchens
Not just any home can be considered for this annual competition. To add an element of exclusivity, HGTV partners with Leading Real Estate Companies of the World and Luxury Portfolio International, and only member-company properties are eligible for consideration.
The Ebby Halliday Companies are a founding member of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, a global network of 550 vetted firms in 70+ countries, with 138,000 sales associates able to share listings with prospects around the world. LPI is LeadingRE’s members-only luxury property marketing program. So only the best of the best make the cut.
