In Livingston: TV Production Company Seeks Victorian Home Owners

ESSEX COUNTY, NJ — Are you an Essex County homeowner with a Victorian-style house in need of renovation? It might just be your ticket to 15 minutes of fame.

On Friday, the Montclair Historical Society announced that Leopard USA, a production company that specializes in programs for HGTV, sent the organization a flyer looking for Essex County homeowners that want to be part of a “new exciting home renovation TV project.”

“They asked if we knew anyone with a turn of the century (19th into 20th) home that wanted some renovations done,” the historical society stated. “We said that probably applies to about 50 percent of Montclair homeowners.”

The flyer reads:

“A respected NYC-based production company is now looking for homeowners that have a turn of the century home in Essex County, NJ, to be part of a new exciting home renovation TV project. We’re looking for fun couples who need help making their old home into their dream home.”

Homeowners must be ready to start renovations by October of 2016, the flyer states.

Interested homeowners can apply via email to [email protected], and should include a brief bio, a list of the renovations that they want done and four to five photos of their home, the flyer states.
