How to Join Property Brothers 

5. Check for casting calls.

You can check the show’s social media pages for the latest news concerning the acceptance of applications.

• The Property Brothers Facebook page is the best place to check for current news about casting.
• Check under the “About” section of the page for information about whether or not the show is currently accepting applications.
• Take note of the geographic area currently eligible. Casting is almost always restricted to a certain area. Since the show is based in Canada, casting is most often open to residents of Vancouver or other regions of Canada. Occasionally, though, the show does open up opportunities for residents in the United States.
• The show also has a Twitter feed that you can monitor for similar updates.
• Residents of the United States can also monitor current Property Brothers opportunities by checking the HGTV “Be On HGTV” page.

6. Contact the show.

E-mail the show’s producers with as much information concerning your situation as possible.

• Submissions should be sent to: propertybrothers@cineflix.com
• Include your name and basic contact information.
• Including phone number, e-mail address, and current home address.
• Describe your current situation and why you want to be on the show.
• You might a young couple with a growing family in need of more space.
• Or you could be a retired couple looking to downsize into something more manageable.
• You need to describe your circumstances to the best of your ability. In other words, plead your case.

7. Show some enthusiasm.

In order to be chosen for the show, you will need to show considerable personality and dedication.

• As you describe your situation, you should also be prepared to demonstrate your willingness to participate.
• The vast majority of people on the show end up helping with the renovations.
• If you are unable to do so, make sure to have willing friends and family who can help.
• Let them know what your budget is. This information is not strictly necessary, but providing it lets the Scott brothers know what to expect and also lets the casting director know that you are serious about making things work.

8. Consider mailing in a video application.

Take footage of your current living space and explain in a voice-over why you need something more.

Upload the video online and e-mail the link.

A video is a good way to convey excitement and demonstrate your personality.

9. Watch out for special opportunities.

Sometimes, Property Brothers will put out a casting call for those who are only interested in updating their current home rather than those who are looking to buy.

These opportunities are rarer, but they might make it possible for you to get help on an even tighter budget than usual.

• These applications should be e-mailed to: bvbcasting@gmail.com
• Check the eligibility requirements. The show will still restrict applications by geographic location.
• In addition, there may also be limits on the style of home.
• Include complete contact information. This includes your full name, home address, phone number, and e-mail address.
• Provide information about your situation. You should include a short description about your family‘s living situation, needs, and desires. You should also describe what property enhancement ideas you have.
• Attach photographs. You should include a recent picture of everyone living in the home, two or three pictures of every room in the house, at least one picture of the front of the house, and at least one picture of the back of your house.

10. Wait to be contacted.

If you are chosen for the show, the producers will contact you.

• Oftentimes, you will hear back from the show within a week if they are interested.
• On occasion, though, it could take a couple of months before you get a reply.
• Response time mostly depends on the number of applicants.
• You may not receive a rejection e-mail if you are not chosen for the show.
• If you have not received a reply by the time the application process closes, your home has not been selected.

11. Understand your commitment.

You will likely be asked to sign a contract before appearing on the show.

• You are completely responsible for the cost of buying your home and renovating it.
• You will not need to pay the Scott brothers, however, nor will you need to contribute to their travel expenses.
• A large portion of the initial responsibility for finding the home will also fall to you. The producers may ask that you find a real estate agent in your area who can find fixer-up homes in decent neighborhoods, especially if you live outside of the show’s usual filming area.
• You will need to be prepared to work on the show‘s schedule. This means being able to move out of your current home and into your new home within a few months. For instance, if you are selected for the show by late September, you can expect to be filming by late December.

12. Work with the Scott brothers.

Drew Scott is responsible for helping you to find your new home.

While Jonathan Scott is responsible for the bulk of the renovations.

• Drew Scott will work with you and your real estate agent to determine a particular house will make sense financially. He will also help you to negotiate the listing price by performing a thorough inspection of the home.
• Jonathan Scott will use CGI to show you what your prospective house can look like after renovations. He is responsible for the overall design and will work with you in determining the most cost efficient options.
• Provide input. The two brothers will work with you; they will not make decisions against your will unless you do not make your will known.
• Prepare to do a lot of physical work. For the most part, homeowners are expected to help with some of the demolition.
• The show may or may not contribute some funding toward the cost of furnishing, depending on your circumstances and the renovations planned out. Property Brothers has been known to provide $20,000 to $25,000 toward furnishings.
• Renovations are usually finished within four to six weeks.
