“Bahamas Realty, Now,” the Bahamas’ own house and garden TV show, is now shooting its 21st monthly episode and is now featured in podcasts on the internet! The show brings a wide range of properties to life and mixes in tips on tropical gardening, Bahamian lifestyle and real estate trends.
My greatest compliment is that lots of local fans think our local show IS on HGTV. It IS on six times monthly on Bahamian ZNS Cable Chanel 11 and JCN Cable Chanel 14 in the Bahamas and several other Caribbean countries. New episodes premier at 8:30 p.m. on the last Thursday of each month on ZNS. Now, the properties featured are even being seen as podcasts on our award-winning Bahamas Realty website (it’s better than a virtual tour). Click here to view some of the podcasts. Here are some of the featured properties:
It all began after I appeared on HGTV’s House Hunters International Episode #107, “Bahamas Dream Home,” (which is still running years later!). Friends started saying, “You should do your own show.” Eventually I did! Our third show featured the 
current “After” for the now unrecognizable house featured on HGTV.
Ours started as a 15 minute show with two featured properties. Now it is 30 minutes with four or more properties, all exclusive listings with Bahamas Realty Ltd., plus lots of tips such as the Gardening Guru’s “Tie One On,” (How to set Orchids free on trees); and “Green Tips” such as the many cleaning jobs you can do with vinegar and/or baking soda; or how to curtain French doors without blocking the breeze or the ocean view. Many of the properties featured have sold. People keep calling in tips.
Now, I try to be sure I’m presentable at all times. People come racing across parking lots to offer me listings or suggestions, saying “Hi, you’re Sara Parker for Bahamas Realty, Now!” Ah, the power of television. If you’re in the Bahamas looking for 
property, or cleaning or gardening tips, check out our schedule, printed on the back page of the Real Estate Section of the “Nassau Tribune” each Monday, or check out the podcasts on our website, currently featuring only properties.
One thing being on TV monthly teaches you is new respect for those who appear weekly or, heaven forbid, daily! Fortunately, I am a University of Missouri qualified journalist, home economist, and a real estate professional. “Bahamas Realty, Now” brings all that training and experience into use…and on view.
