The Property Brothers franchise is a media franchise that stars Canadian twins Jonathan and Drew Scott and centers around the selling, purchasing, and renovation of real estate property. The shows also often guest star their older brother J.D. Their first program is Property Brothers—produced by Cineflix Media—and airs on the W Network in Canada, HGTV in the US, as well as various networks in over 130 countries. The success of this show led to spin-off series, including Buying and Selling, Brother Vs. Brother, Property Brothers: At Home, Property Brothers: At Home on the Ranch, and Brothers Take New Orleans.
The brothers create upwards of 60 hours of broadcast content each year, and have as many at 17 projects going on at a time. Kathleen Finch, the president of the DIY Network and HGTV, has planned to have a new episode of original content each week of the year. Because of their filming schedule, they no longer take personal clients. However, they hire local design, real estate, and construction companies in the cities where they film.
Property Brothers is a Canadian reality television series that is produced by Cineflix. Its history begins when Drew was living in Vancouver and auditioning for acting roles. He was offered the chance to host a show called Realtor Idol, based on the American Idol format. The show never materialized, but producers wanted him for a show tentatively called My Dream Home, with the intention of having a male and female host. When they learned he had a brother who was also in real estate, they developed a show around the pair; that company would later film their pilot for Property Brothers. The show first aired on the W Network in Canada, and was later picked up by HGTV.
The series features Drew, a real estate expert who scouts neglected houses and negotiates the purchases. Jonathan is a licensed contractor who renovates houses. Together, they help families find, buy, and transform "fixer-uppers" into dream homes on a strict timeline and budget. It airs on W Network in Canada and HGTV in the United States.
