My First Sale is kicking off its SECOND season, focusing on the trials and tribulations of preparing to sell, pricing/marketing, and ultimately selling your first place. We're looking for fun and interesting people who are willing to share their personal and financial struggles during the home-selling process.

We'll follow you for approximately 10 shoot days over the course of the process of selling your home. This real estate rollercoaster could include some of the more stressful days of your life, so if this sounds like fun, please apply! A modest thank you check for the featured seller(s) will be awarded. You’ll also receive a DVD copy of your episode, giving you a lasting memory of the process.


My First Sale Application Rules

PLEASE NOTE: We CANNOT travel more than 90 minutes (by car) outside of the selected cities. Please be sure these distance restrictions work for you (and us)!

We will need you to sign a location release form, giving us permission to tape inside your home. If this is an issue, please contact us ASAP!

If this sounds like an exciting, fun experience to you (we think it is!) and you are soon planning on selling your first place in Dallas or Washington DC, then please fill out the questions below.

If your story is chosen to pursue further, we will contact you and let you know what the next step is!

**Please include a photo of yourself and any family members or friends you expect would join you in this adventure!




We would also like pictures of your home! Please include photos of the outside of the house, and the key rooms inside that show a good representation of what your house looks like.
