REALTORS® Home & Garden Show awarding $5000 room makeover

For those looking to put the wow factor into their home, the 90th REALTORS® Home Garden Show, presented by Unilock, has a solution that is right on the money. Celebrity designer and television’s original home stager, Roger Hazard of AE’s “Sell This House,” is coming to the rescue of one lucky homeowner.

Roger and his partner, Chris, will reward one homeowner with a total room makeover, valued at up to $5,000. The step-by-step transformation, sponsored by CertaPro Painters, will be filmed March 30 – April 1 at one chosen home in the metro Milwaukee area and featured in a future episode of Roger and Chris Hazard’s new reality show, “Roger That!”

“Renovating a home to be comfortable with a style that fits the way people live is what I enjoy most,” Chris Stout-Hazard said. “Furniture and floor plans need to fit a homeowner’s style.”

Homeowners within the metro Milwaukee area can register for the opportunity at www.rogerthat.tv/register through Friday, March 28. Submissions should include photos of the desired makeover room along with a video from the homeowner on why they should be chosen.

Regardless if their home is selected, do-it-yourself designers can still score design tips from the duo at the REALTORS® Home Garden Show. Roger and Chris Hazard will be at the show’s Solutions Stage at 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. Friday, March 28, and 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. Saturday, March 29. The pair will also be at the CertaPro Painters Booth #1104 before and after their presentations.
