Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® (LeadingRE) and Luxury Portfolio International® have announced the launch of the HGTV Ultimate House Hunt 2019, a month-long online promotion held each year on HGTV.com. This is the eighth consecutive year HGTV has aligned exclusively with LeadingRE and Luxury Portfolio for the awards, which run from June 12 through July 17.
The Ultimate House Hunt features extraordinary homes for sale in eight categories: Amazing Kitchens, Big City Digs, Countryside Retreats, Curb Appeal, Homes with a History, Modern Masterpieces, Outdoor Escapes and Waterfront Homes. In addition, a special Global Homes gallery puts the spotlight on beautiful properties from outside of the U.S. All featured homes are represented by members of LeadingRE and Luxury Portfolio.
Consumers have the opportunity to tour the homes selected as finalists by viewing photo galleries on HGTV.com and can then cast a vote for their favorite properties. A winner will be chosen in each category based on the highest number of votes received, and an overall favorite will be awarded for the listing receiving the most votes.
“We are thrilled to come together with HGTV again this year to put the spotlight on some of our members’ most beautiful listings. Seeing the response to the promotion and which homes attract the most attention from HGTV’s vast audience is incredibly exciting,” says Paul Boomsma, president/CEO of LeadingRE.
