Richard DotyBrookfield to be featured in national cable TV show
Brookfield will get some national TV exposure later this year, when HGTV broadcasts an episode of "House Hunters" that was filmed entirely in the village.
Some filming has already taken place, said Richard Doty, a Brookfield resident and real estate broker associate at Saffron Realty in Chicago.
According to Doty, who moved to Brookfield from Chicago six years ago, the connection with HGTV was something of a coincidence.
"It was a friend of a friend thing," said Doty, who spent a lot of time working in California for a previous employer. "Someone at [the show's production company] was looking for a Realtor, my name came up and the producer got in touch with me."
At the time, Doty had a young couple looking to buy a home in Chicago and the network gave the green light to go ahead with the shoot. At the last minute, however, the couple bailed.
But Doty also had a Chicago couple looking to make a move to the suburbs, specifically to his hometown of Brookfield. HGTV agreed to the change of plans and began working on the episode.
"House Hunters" typically features a couple looking to move to a specific area. With a budget in mind and a Realtor in tow, the couple is shown three homes to choose from and picks one at the end of the show.
Doty said he wasn't allowed to discuss the homes or any details about the couple, citing a confidentiality agreement with HGTV. The filming won't wrap until later this spring, Doty said, with the show airing likely sometime this summer.
