Drew and Jonathan Scott, hosts and executive producers of HGTV’s ‘Property Brothers: Forever Home’ and ‘Celebrity IOU’, joined NBKA CEO Bill Darcy in a lively discussion on the future of residential real estate during NKBA’s State of the Industry (SOI) keynote on Wednesday, February 1, 2023, during KBIS in Las Vegas.
Before The Scott Brothers took the stage, Darcy said, “I’m very excited to have Drew and Jonathan join me at the State of the Industry. Their appearance builds on the direction of SOI that we started last year with Google’s Ginny Clarke, bringing in high-profile leaders to share their perspective on the challenges that impact kitchen and bath. It will be interesting to get Drew and Jonathan’s take on residential builds and remodeling in 2023, and what they see happening in the long term.”
Drew and Jonathan are the powerhouse hosts of some of HGTVs all-time highest-rated shows, including ‘Property Brothers,’ ‘Brother vs Brother,’ and ‘Celebrity IOU.’ Since the first airing of ‘Property Brothers’ in 2011, Drew and Jonathan have built an empire and founded Scott Brothers Global, a company rooted in providing products, education, entertainment, and inspiration to households around the world.
Darcy interviewed the Scott Brothers, asking them about everything from the current state of the industry to their careers in real estate to what they were most proud of:
“Drew and I have been investing in real estate since we were 18 — we’ve seen this industry through every cycle and trend,” said Jonathan Scott. “With our shows, we also get to hear first-hand what families want most for their homes, and helping them achieve those goals is what we love most about what we do.”
Added Drew Scott: “Over the past decade, we have built, rebuilt, renovated, redesigned, and reimagined hundreds of spaces for our homeowners. We get to work with the best builders, tradespeople, and designers around, and together, we’re educating people on making the best and most informed decisions they can for their families.”
In the second half of the discussion, both Darcy, who has successfully expanded the NKBA’s research department to include real estate and building trends, and The Scott Brothers, discussed where they think the real estate market is heading in 2023 and beyond — followed by an entertaining live question-and-answer session with the audience.
