Resources Real Estate Agent Featured on HGTV’s Beachfront Bargain Hunt

ELEANOR “TRISH” COLLINGS PRESENTED THE PROPERTY ON THE POPULAR SERIES

Atlantic Highlands, NJ August 13th, 2018 – Resources Real Estate agent, Eleanor “Trish” Collings, has been chosen to feature a property on HGTV’s popular “Beachfront Bargain Hunt” show. HGTV’s series Beachfront Bargain Hunt follows homebuyers in search of beachfront living on a reasonable budget.

Collings works out of Resources Atlantic Highlands location. The property that was featured is located in the Leonardo section of Middletown, NJ. Collings was contacted by the Show in December, and as is the show’s format, the couple, Collings’ clients, made their choice from three properties in the area. The “reveal” occurred in May and the segment, aired in late June.

According to Collings, the popular show was looking for properties in the Sandy Hook area and they saw her listing. “This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Being featured on HGTV was a great honor and I thoroughly enjoyed the process,” she said. “I’d love to do it again.”

Collings credits the strength of Resources Real Estate’s support of it’s agents as being a huge advantage in the marketplace. “We are a white glove company and we receive excellent training from Resources,” she said. “I’m proud to be with Resources and to be featured gave me the opportunity to show how focused we are on customer service,” said Collings.

Carolynn Diakon, Founder of Resources Real Estate said, “HGTV’s Beachfront Bargain Hunt is a very popular series for the channel. It was a lot of fun to see Trish and her property featured on this show. Most importantly, this selection speaks to the beauty and accessibility of our local beachfront.”

“This was a great opportunity to showcase not only this particular property, but the amazing beachfront that we have in this area,” said Tom McCormack, Managing Partner.

Trish Collings and her “Beachfront Bargain Hunt” can be seen on HGTV, Season 4, Episode 2.

Buying a home is serious business, and it’s not easy. Many people bask in the idea of owning their own home without realizing all of the details that come with it. This includes in the early stages when someone is looking to purchase a home. There are a number of details that can either positively or negatively impact buying a home and being informed about them is the best defense.

Members of the Forbes Real Estate Council offered some information that first-time homebuyers may not know about. Here’s what our own Thomas McCormack had to say:

HGTV and other programming have done a tremendous disservice to both homebuyers and sellers, but no one group is quite so enthralled by the fiction that has been produced as first homebuyers. Reality TV makes homebuyers think the process is easy, is stress-free and happens like clockwork. What’s missing is the real stress of the search for the right house, the emotional wave of the negotiation process, the heartbreak of losing a house to another buyer and the surprises found during an inspection. The result: too many buyers who think they “know better” and come into the process unprepared and with very unrealistic expectations. Working with an experienced professional will help. Sometimes, a solid dose of reality (i.e. losing out in a multiple bid situation) is the best teacher of all. – Thomas McCormack, Resources Real Estate
