TV Show looking for Home Buyers in Croatia

[kristenhunter]

Hi everyone,

I'm a casting producer for a popular American TV show about house hunting abroad. We're hoping to film in Croatia this season and we're looking for English speaking real estate agents and non-Croatians who have recently bought or rented a property. Here's our casting announcement:

If you are currently looking for or have plans to buy or rent a home, apartment or second home in Croatia, we would like to put your story on TV!

Our hit show is looking for energetic individuals, couples and families to share their story about moving abroad. Participating in our show is a lot of fun and a great way to document your exciting search for a home and new life abroad. Contributors should be fluent in English.

If you are interested in participating in our show or learning more, please send an email to [e-mail]. Please include your contact information, the locations you are moving from and to, and a picture of your family and your property.


Thanks so much. I look forward to hearing from you!

I'd say your best bet would be to contact these members of this site that are English speaking foreigners that have real estate businesses here.

Maybe Carol, but not sure if she's still operating her business here.

I will let you know where to send my 5% finders fee : )

yes, it is still operating although I am not in Croatia any more, so Danijela runs it for us.

The criteria described is going to be tough order to fill as people have stopped migrating to the coast from anywhere (almost) since 2007/8.

Madgolfer is still getting migrants though, I think, so he's your best bet. Personally I think you'll be lucky to find anyone who happens to want to move to Croatia (returning diasporo aside) and who just so happens to be looking for a place and be willing to have the whole thing filmed for the viewing pleasure of unknown others.

Every year is seems someone want to do a tv programme, roughly about the same thing.
last year i wasted a lot of time dealing with one tv company in canada.
They wanted me to show 5 houses of different sizes, prices and locations accross Istria . All went ok until the dates they wanted to be here, middle of august and staying in Rovinj.
i said no chance, any other time of year i have time to show timewasters, but not in August and not when its 40 degrees.

From my experience, these tv companies waste a lot of time, do not do any research, dont listen to answers, dont answer and questions just think they are high and mighty and spend money on frivolous things .
I cant be bothered helping some arsehole make cheap tv anymore

We have tried this before and would be prepared to do so again but the logistics are just a nightmare.

Getting people (buyers) to be in Cro at the time the film maker wants and for them and us to set aside so much time is really hard for everyone.

OK it does make good publicity if it ever gets on the air but its just so time consuming with no guarantee of any pay back.

???Platinumrpm, I dont undertsand your last post?

And Carol;

"Madgolfer is still getting migrants though."
Indeed we are, our new eco village is coming along nicely. ;D
