HGTV has joined forces with Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® and Luxury Portfolio International® as the exclusive real estate partners for its annual Doory Awards. Billed as “The Ultimate House Hunt,” the Doory Awards present extraordinary homes for sale to HGTV’s extensive audience, allowing consumers to vote for the homes they find most appealing.
Finalists have been selected in ten categories: Waterfront Homes, International Homes, Celebrity Homes, Tiny Homes, Urban Homes, Historical Homes, Your House Has WHAT?, Gourmet Kitchens, Spa Bathrooms and Outdoor Retreats. Consumers can view finalists and vote for their favorites at HGTV’s real estate site, FrontDoor.com/doory from May 1 through June 5. Winners will be announced June 6.
“Like everything we do at HGTV, the Doory Awards are all about what makes a home compelling and how we can be inspired by a home’s extraordinary design features, breathtaking setting or unique amenities,” says Rich Lacy, vice president, Emerging Brands for HGTV’s Home Category. “Because of our long-term relationship with LeadingRE and Luxury Portfolio, we knew they would be the ideal partners for this year’s awards based on the quality of the network’s firms, the impressive array of homes represented around the world and the emphasis on stunning photography.”
HGTV has aligned with LeadingRE and Luxury Portfolio on a number of marketing initiatives in recent years and announced the Doory Awards partnership during the network’s Conference Week in February at Wynn Las Vegas.
“We are thrilled to bring our member companies an opportunity to reach HGTV’s extensive audience of home enthusiasts through the Doory Awards, as well as future opportunities for editorial exposure on HGTV’s numerous websites and programs,” notes Paul Boomsma, COO of LeadingRE and president of Luxury Portfolio.
