HGTV has always been about enhancing your home and home life. So it makes sense that FrontDoor.com, the real estate site powered by HGTV, is about enhancing your search for the place you call home. That means bringing you valuable tips and advice to help you make smart decisions. So in addition to our blog and large library of articles and videos, we’ve created a vlog.
Real estate topics can be dry and boring, and most of the real estate news videos I’ve seen out there are just that. As the host, I want this to be informative and fun. And as a journalist, I want this to be relevant, since today’s buyers and homeowners don’t have time to sift through all the information that’s out there.
The vlog is not meant to be fancy or flashy. It’s our way of connecting with you as that smart friend “in the know.” Future episodes will feature different topics and occasionally a special guest. If there’s something you’d like to know or have an idea or pitch for the vlog, we want to hear it. Post a comment here and we could feature it in our next episode!
