Vancouver natives Jonathan and Drew Scott are generating a lot of excitement on television.  One reason is that the identical twins are major eye candy.  The other is that they just launched a TV show called “Property Brothers.” 

The show premiered on the W Network in early January.  It features how the brothers work with couples on finding homes that are candidates for great renovations.  Many people want spectacular houses, but do not have the budget to buy them.  The Scotts show how some sweat equity and capital infusion can transform an ugly duckling with “good bones” into a dream home.

The 32-year-old brothers say they are amazed at how little it takes to improve the appearance and resale value of a home.  In many cases, simple projects such as de-cluttering, removing old wallpaper and a coat of paint can make a huge difference.

Participants in the reality show receive $10,000 toward their home’s renovation as well as $10,000 worth of consultation from the twins.  Companies, eager to have their brands seen and used on the show, donate around $25,000 worth of free products. 

The show’s first 13 episodes were filmed in and around Toronto.  However, the Scotts are hoping to film more shows in other areas.  They are especially interested in working on houses in Vancouver, where the pair owns several properties.  

Drew, a realtor, and Jonathan, a contractor, moved from Calgary to Las Vegas.  Before that, they graduated from Maple Ridge High School, received their industry licences and began working in the then-hot Calgary real estate market.
