HGTV Episodes about our area!
Was pleasantly surprised to see our area of Hoffman Estates featured in one of the HGTV segments on 'My First Place' recently. I had recorded (TIVO'd?) two episodes to watch about staging and the one was about a popular area stager Julea Joseph in which she transforms a room with one day's notice. Julea did a fabulous job.
The other was about a first time home buyer that started out in Libertyville (20 miles north) and by the end of the program ended up in a ranch in Hoffman Estates! Hey, that's my area and what are you doing with an unknown out of the area agent buyin' a house! She was very lucky for the publicity but I don't know who she even is! Even after the TV spot, I don't know anything about her! Talk about a lost opportunity for some PR!
So as I am watching the segment I jump up and yell 'hey I know that guy ...... he's Dave Jacobsen the home inspector guy I use!' So they are inspecting the furnace which seems to have a cracked heat exchanger which is not a good thing folks. Whoops, can you say new furnace? Evidently they get it all worked out and the couple move into their new home!
It's great to see our area on TV. Who says nothing ever goes on around here that's exciting! Who was that mystery agent?
Heck when my dog and I were taped for TV on rinky-dink WCIU I was tellin' everybody!
