NEW ORLEANS REAL ESTATE MARKET GETS A SPOTLIGHT IN NEW HGTV SERIES "SELLING THE BIG EASY" PREMIERING FRIDAY, APRIL 10, AT 9 PM ET/PT

New York [March 13, 2020] Let the good times roll! New Orleans native and resident real estate expert Brittany Picolo-Ramos specializes in quintessential NOLA properties in the new HGTV series Selling the Big Easy. Premiering on Friday, April 10, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, the series follows Brittany and her full-service agency as they help families find the house of their dreams by showing them high-end homes with the right amount of history and charm. She also helps clients stage and sell their homes for top dollar in the city's vibrant real estate market. With an approachable and effervescent style, Brittany effortlessly guides clients through the buying and selling process while touting the enticing amenities that the Crescent City has to offer.

"New Orleans is my hometown," said Brittany. "This city always makes you feel welcome with its incredible food, music and nightlife - and it's home to the most beautiful and unique houses in America."

During the season, Brittany wows all types of homebuyers with tours of homes ranging from a classic Victorian in the heart of downtown to a lakefront estate in the sought-after Metairie suburb to a colorful 1870s historic home in Paradise Park, just minutes from the bustling French Quarter and Bourbon Street. Brittany and her team also use their staging know-how to get bland properties ready for a profitable sale by adding fresh furniture, colorful décor and a New Orleans-inspired aesthetic that will attract buyers.
