Press Release Summary = Hidden cameras, a home in desperate need of de-cluttering,
and a determined buyer and real estate agency will soon bring Cary NC real estate
into the limelight on HGTV's hit reality show "Buy Me."

Press Release Body = A local Cary resident with a dream to sell her home and a
determined real estate team will soon be the feature of HGTV's hit reality show "Buy
Me." Though many of the details must remain undisclosed until the show airs in 2007,
listing agent and president of Town & Country Realty Mike Montpetit, discussed some
of the details about how the popular reality TV show comes together behind the
scenes.

"They [the HGTV crew] came in and installed hidden cameras throughout the house,
then recorded hours of normally private conversations between our team and the
seller about pricing, market conditions, staging, decorating, repairs,
amenities-everything that affects the sale of the house," says Montpetit.

In addition to conversations between real estate agent and seller, cameras also
captured conversations and reactions of potential buyers touring the home.
Following the sale of the home, the countless hours of candid video and recorded
interviews will be condensed into a dramatic 20 minute show documenting the
highlights of the entire project and educating home sellers along the way.

The Cary NC real estate team and its featured home were chosen to appear on the show
from a pool of applicants because of their unique partnership. The featured home
suffered a problem shared by many American homes; an abundance of clutter that would
make it difficult to market.

Producers felt that the combination of this home with Town & Country Realty,
renowned for its expertise with staging homes to enter the market, would be the
foundation of show that was both humorous and educational for home sellers.

The company's full service team is good at taking the "diamond in the rough and
making it stand out on the market," says Town and Country's client care manager
Janette Wilson. Between agent Susan Montpetit's designation as a member of the One
Day Decorator Alumni Association (ODDAA), consultation with certified property
stager and Interior Designer Denise Whitley, and Mike Montpetit's deep-seeded
knowledge that comes from being a 3rd generation NC real estate agent, the team has
developed a winning system for pleasing buyers and selling homes.

"I think viewers will learn things that most people aren't aware of about getting a
home ready for the market in order to command the best price," says Montpetit.
Viewers will see photos of the home before and after the professional staging
process, as well as lots of video detailing the steps in-between, when the show airs
next year.

Town & Country Realty's listing is the first of 10 Buy Me shows being filmed in the
Raleigh Durham area. For months, the Canadian-based HGTV crew has made Raleigh its
home away from home while the shows are filmed. "It really is amazing how much work
goes into creating these reality shows," says Montpetit.
