Selling an amazing house? Submit it for “Cool Houses Daily”!

Everytime I tell people I work for HGTV, they immediately tell me how much they looooove “House Hunters.” Most of these people aren’t actively looking to buy a home, so I ask why. And the response is pretty much the same across the board — “I love looking at houses.”

Imagine that. People who just want to look at houses. Well — ask, and you shall receive. We’ve got just the thing to unleash your inner property voyeur.

FrontDoor’s “Cool Houses Daily” gives you an exclusive peek into an amazingly cool house each day. And by cool, we mean homes with over-the-top features like panic rooms and helipads, celebrity-owned homes or even a house that supposedly will extend your life!

Safe to say HGTV has mastered the art of showcasing homes and bringing the excitement and drama of homebuying and selling to viewers who can not only relate, but want to be part of it (i.e. how can I get HGTV to redo my kitchen?).

So it was only natural for HGTV to launch FrontDoor.com, with the goal of reaching the millions of Web-savvy consumers who are not only actively buying or selling a home, but those who are just genuinely passionate about the idea of “home” and real estate. You’ve probably already seen the extensive how-to guides and expert tips on the site. But how cool is it to check out some of the most unique homes on the market?

So stop by everyday: http://www.frontdoor.com/coolhouses. You’ll get a daily dose of interesting properties you never knew existed. Who knows? It may motivate you to start house hunting or at least see what other unusual homes are out there. And if you know of a cool house for sale, email a description and photos to coolhousesdaily@frontdoor.com. We could feature it on CHD.
