Selling your first place in Charlotte? Then HGTV is looking for you!
My First Sale, the popular HGTV show, is looking for first-time home sellers (and their real estate agents!) in the Charlotte, NC area.
We are looking for fun, high-energy first-time home sellers who are just starting the process of selling their first place! Our cameras will be there to capture all the trials and tribulations, stress and success of prepping for sale, pricing, negotiating, and ultimately selling a home for the first time.
Taping will begin in Fall 2010 and will continue through Spring 2011. Ideal candidates will be motivated, financially candid people who want to share the experience with the world! Singles, couples and families are all invited to apply!
HGTV is looking for first-time home sellers with a great story who currently live in the home they are selling! Also, make sure your realtor is 100% on board with the show as they are a huge part of your story.
For more information or an application contact:
Marybeth Brush, mbrush@highnoontv.com.

“There’s something in the air along a busy local road, and it’s not just exhaust fumes: It’s the smell of grilled steak, courtesy of what appears to be the nation’s first scented highway billboard.
The Bloom grocery chain, part of Salisbury-based Food Lion, hopes to catch shoppers by the nose by wafting black pepper and charcoal smells from the base of a sign along River Highway (N.C. 150) in Mooresville.”

What does that even mean?
Well, refer to the Bohemian Index (PDF link).
Richard Florida, author of The Creative Class works with the Martin Prosperity Institute in Toronto. In his words:
“The index charts the concentration of working artists, musicians, writers, designers, and entertainers across metropolitan areas. We measure it as a location quotient, which basically compares regional employment to the national norm, based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau and StatsCan.”
What are your thoughts?
Thx to @jritch for the tip.
