South Lake Tahoe new home hunting experience filmed for HGTV's House Hunters

A home search in South Lake Tahoe will be the subject of an upcoming episode of HGTV's House Hunters.

Travis and Morgan Fields of Oakland, CA were working with Chase International Realtor Angie Clark when the couple contacted the television show about their home search being part of the popular show.

All three of them had to fill out questionnaires and send in audition tapes.

“The audition tape was a little daunting,” Angie said. “My husband filmed it for me and it took a few tries. We submitted the video and just thought that would be the end of that.”

But that was just the beginning. The network, which features an array of lifestyle, real estate, design, and renovation shows, responded within a week. After releases and scheduling, a crew came to film the house hunting process this fall and they just wrapped up the Monday before Thanksgiving.

If you haven't seen the show before, the premise is to go behind the scenes as couples and families decide what is important to them in a home, see what is available in the area in their price range and ultimately decide which home is the best option. The show generally highlights three of the final homes before a decision is made. While Angie cannot discuss any specifics regarding how the show comes together or any specifications the Fields may have had, she does note that the Bay Area couple was looking for a vacation home in South Lake Tahoe.

"This will be a great way to showcase the area and some local properties to a national audience,” Angie said. “It was a lot of fun for all of us. We really enjoyed being superstars and seeing how it all works. I can now really appreciate what goes into making a single television program.”

The HGTV House Hunters episode is set to air in six to eight months. Angie is planning to have a viewing party with her fellow Chase agents, who were extremely supportive and equally excited about her recent brush with show business.
