HGTV’s ‘Property Brothers’ descends on Galveston Isle
Jonathan and Drew Scott, HGTV’s “Property Brothers” were in Galveston for several weeks this spring filming their “Brother vs. Brother” series, showcasing the redo of two waterfront homes there.
Roseann Rogers, Stewart Title’s new regional sales manager, said the company recently inked a partnership with the show — and that the brothers mentioned they particularly enjoyed the Penguin Encounter at Moody Gardens, Pleasure Pier and flyboarding on the bay when they were here.
“It was a pleasure handling the home closings for Jonathan and Drew,” said Drew Dobbs, escrow officer, Stewart of Galveston. “I am excited to see how the remodels turn out, and I hope that the buyers are thrilled with their new homes.” The closing transactions were done at the company’s West End Office.
Clips of the episode are available at hgtv.com. The new season will debut with this project at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, May 31.
