Minneapolis Realtor Zeb Haney Films Episode For HGTV’s ‘Sweat Equity’
Over the past 4 months I was asked by Edelman Productions to be ‘the Realtor’ for an episode of an HGTV show called ‘Sweat Equity.’ A young, gutsy fella named Jed Hirschfeld (the bearded-one) was the renovator. He bought a condominium in the Southwest Minneapolis/St. Louis Park/Edina area and decided to give a renovation a try. At first I was quite skeptical, as the condo market is not the best place to start with a renovation for profit, but in this particular instance, the before and after was very dramatic: the renovation was excellent, which is not usually the case. Jed did such a good job, he is deciding to stay.
Also in the photo is the host – Amy Matthews.
The first day of filming was the end of September, and as per the usual Minnesota weather dichotomy, the ‘before’ filming was blazing-hot (we were sweating…without the equity), versus the ‘after’ filming of the finished product in the end of December, which was quite freezing.
This particular episode will be premiering in 1 year, and will be on a 5-year syndication on cable’s HGTV.
A very fun time was had by all. For me, it was a very enjoyable, different,
couple of days.
