Tonight’s newest episode of House Hunters, on the HGTV network, will feature one of our own—Denise Mattmuller—as she takes buyers on a televised tour of three properties on Siesta Key.
In case you’re not familiar with the popular program, House Hunters takes viewers behind the scenes as individuals, couples and families learn what to look for in a property; and decide whether or not a home is meant for them. Focusing on the emotional experience of finding and purchasing a new home, each episode shows the process as buyers search for a home.
This particular program not only showcases the breathtaking beauty of Siesta Key, but also imparts a feeling for its marvelous tropical ambiance and picture-perfect weather.
We hope you’ll plan to watch tonight (Thursday, November 11) at 10:00 p.m. Locally—including Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte counties—the program airs on Channel 41 on Comcast, Channel 165 on Verizon FiOS and Channel 57 on Brighthouse. If you live elsewhere, have satellite reception or a custom cable TV package, please consult your own cable listings.
Congratulations to Denise on such wonderful exposure for herself and her clients!
