TLC Bolsters Programming with New Property Show

LOS ANGELES, July 31: TLC
will add a new property show to its slate of real-life programming with the
premiere of Hope for Your Home on
August 9.

During the half-hour
episodes, the show’s host, real-estate expert Kirsten Kemp Becker (Property
Ladder), works with a family in
financial need by giving them resources to make improvements to their
properties. She advises them on what improvements will increase the home’s
value. Homeowners are then given the option to either refinance or sell their
homes.

“In a slow, or dare I say
declining real-estate market, it is important to set yourself apart from other
homes on the market when yours is listed for sale,” Becker said. “If you need
to refinance, the same holds true. Fortunately, there are high-impact, low-cost
improvements homeowners can achieve over a weekend with help from friends and
family, which we’ll share with our viewers each week on this new series.”
