Buy Herself premieres April 16 on HGTV Canada

From a media release:

NO MAN. NO DUAL INCOME. NO PROBLEM.

Brand New Series Buy Herself Features Famed Real Estate Expert Sandra Rinomato

  • Premieres Monday April 16 at 10pm ET/PT on HGTV Canada

Buying a new home on your own is no easy task, but popular host and successful realtor Sandra Rinomato (Property Virgins) is helping women hunt for the perfect place in the brand new series Buy Herself. From house hunting to hand holding, Sandra lends her expertise and guidance to single women preparing for one of the most emotional, exciting and challenging purchases of their lives. Buy Herself premieres Monday April 16 at 10pm ET/PT on HGTV Canada.

Single women have quietly shifted from being a niche segment to busting out as major players in the real estate market, and are now responsible for an estimated 20% of home purchases*. In each episode of Buy Herself Sandra introduces one woman, looking to buy a home on her own, to her top options in the world of real estate. Offering a big dose of knowledge and a little girlfriend-style advice, Sandra tries to find the key that meets the buyer’s desires, her needs and her budget. Joining each woman on her journey are a couple of her closest confidantes, ready to offer words of wisdom with the loving touch of brutal honesty that only comes from knowing a person intimately.

Sandra Rinomato is well-known to television audiences having hosted 130 episodes of the popular HGTV series Property Virgins, a show that underscored Sandra’s natural ability as both a TV presenter and someone with a straight forward approach to real estate. She has built on that success by becoming a certified real estate broker, an author (Realty Check: The Real Scoop on Real Estate), an award-winning Canadian entrepreneur (Stevie Award for Women in Business), and a much sought-after international television interview subject with a penchant for very worthwhile charitable causes.
