If you've ever seen the before and after shots of a Property Brothers home reno, then you know the real estate and design geniuses that are identical twin brothers Jonathan and Drew Scott. Wanna be the next lucky homeowner featured on Property Brothers? Casting requires you have the following:
- A sidekick is required. No solo sally's allowed here. They want a dynamic duo, be it you and your spouse, partner, friend, whomever.
- Have a reno budget of at least $65,000 USD. Jonathan might be a magician, but he still needs some moola to work his magic.
- Have funding ready to go so you can quickly move on purchasing a home. Drew and Jonathan need more than your word; they need to see exactly how you're going to finance your home.
- Pick the four rooms you want made over. With a six- to seven-week shooting schedule, the Pro Bros don't have time to gut whole houses! Applicants must pick four rooms they want their renovation budget to cover.
- Throw in a 25 percent contingency fee since things inevitably go wrong (leaky roof, termite infestation, bad electrical wiring). And when they do, the Property Brothers want a homeowner who can survive the budget overages.
- Tell them what houses you're looking at — or what home you've already purchased. The application asks you to give the address of a house you're interested in and even provides a space for you to tell them when you're closing on a house if it's already a done deal.
- Be free to film eight weekdays in total over the course of the six to seven weeks. If you want the Property Brothers to make time for you, you better make time for them.
- Make quick decisions. Dilly-dalliers need not apply; the Property Brothers are busy and they need to keep your reno moving along.
