“Real Estate and developments make Vancouver headlines constantly for good reason. We have the highest housing prices in Canada, one of the highest rental rates and a loyal following of development fanatics. Presenting KVOS’s Real Estate 101 TV, running each Sunday, featuring everything about real-estate-savvy Vancouver.
“One-part reality television, one-part lifestyle talk show, one-part investigative biography, Real Estate 101 TV will change the way people think about real estate,” Co-host, Crystal Carson shared. “Maggie and I will be taking the city by storm and showing the reality of real estate. We’re going to be answering every question you’ve ever had about real estate.”
Hosted by media personality Crystal Carson, and radio and TV broadcaster Maggie Cox. The dynamic duo will interview big-name real estate and development moguls and trailblazers. Feature segments go behind-the-scenes at the new BC Place Stadium and interview development industry leaders like David Podmore of Concert Properties and world-famous architect James Cheng, to the visionaries behind the Woodward’s project in downtown Vancouver.
With Real Estate 101 TV, Crystal Carson combines her unique blend of media, fashion, and real estate experience to blow the lid off real estate myths and help homebuyers and sellers navigate through an array of complex decisions. All the while, featuring some of the hottest trends in real estate.
The television series focuses on providing industry advice to help homebuyers and sellers gain an advantage in today’s competitive real estate market. Each episode features a “Real People, Real Problems” reality-based segment which showcases the real stories and real solutions behind common real estate problems.”
Very, very, VERY late to the party. Sign of a top?? (Nah, we’ve said that too many times before to be taken seriously…) – vreaa
AFTERWORD:
RE 101 TV episodes available here. [Hat-tip to Aidan for the links.]
["I just threw up in my mouth a little..." - 'Polly', on discovering this show.]
“real-estate-savvy Vancouver”… LOL… Maybe they should go to DTES to interview “pharmaceutically-savvy residents”.
KVOS should stick to running re-runs of the Mary Tyler Moore Show and All in the Family.
It’s kind of a bad sign when Canada becomes the “San Fernando Valley” of Real Estate Porn production for American consumption…
i have watched all 3 episodes
my conclusion? they’ve all drunk deep from the kool-aid, their total conviction reminds me of the Hale-Bopp Cult.
re: waiting for HAM, vancouver is the biggest Cargo Cult ever.
“Real People, Real Problems”
I haven’t watched the shows yet, however, does any one ask ” I can’t meet my payments and I still want to buy another house??” now isn’t that a real problem?
ask them yourself! i’m sure they’d totally field your concerns on the show.
love how they sexed up the failed casino bid at bc place before the vote. lol
Yeah, this was pretty light weight stuff indeed. Big yawn though. There is nothing new here and it probably won’t be the last show of this kind that we see in the upcoming months/years. Once things go into the tank, look for those late night “get rich quick in Vanc RE” informercials (complete with low end bikini clad women and offer for a free bonus DVD!) to start airing. Honestly, I thought things were getting a little long in the tooth when stories about Trevor Linden’s RE deals (among others – ahem, yes I am talking about you, Mr. Barrie) started making the rounds. By far the most nauseating are those special, intimate, exclusive sneak peaks inside the homes of some random local “celebs” that the Vanc Sun publishes. (TIP: remember to fold the top of the barf AWAY from you when closing)

Tamara Taggart is a celebrity the way the Olive Garden is an Italian restaurant.
hahahahahaha
very funny
I agree, hence the quotation marks. Olive Garden? I guess you and Gerald Celente must think alike.

ahahahah!
a drinking buddy knew TT in high school, we can’t help but laugh when we stumble by her (old?) place in Mt Pleasant – she’s a hard hitting, no nonsense muckraker, right?
