Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® and Luxury Portfolio International® have announced the start of the 2018 HGTV Ultimate House Hunt, a month-long online promotion held annually on HGTV.com. This is the seventh consecutive year HGTV has teamed exclusively with Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® and Luxury Portfolio International® for the popular awards, which run from June 12 through July 17.
The Ultimate House Hunt features extraordinary homes from across the globe in eight categories: Amazing Kitchens, Curb Appeal, Extreme Homes, Global Homes, Homes with a History, Modern Masterpieces, Urban Digs and Waterfront Homes – plus a bonus category inspired by one of HGTV’s most popular programs, Do You Love It or Would You List It, highlighting additional homes that caught the attention of HGTV editors. All featured homes are represented by members of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® and Luxury Portfolio International®. Consumers view galleries of homes featuring beautiful photography on HGTV.com and vote for their favorites. A winner is chosen in each category based on the total number of votes received, along with the highly coveted overall fan favorite award.
“We are delighted to join forces with HGTV again this year to showcase some of our members’ most stunning listings, from the ever-popular Waterfront Homes category to the exciting new collection of Urban Digs. It’s always a thrill to see which of the incredible featured properties attract the most attention from HGTV’s audience of home enthusiasts,” says Paul Boomsma, president/CEO of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World®.
