How did HGTV's host Jonathan Scott begin his career?
Jonathan Silver Scott was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on April 28, 1978, making him four minutes older than his twin brother, Drew Scott. The twins also have an older brother named James.
Jonathan's interest in performing arts began at a young age, and he started participating in theater productions while in elementary school. He eventually became one of the world's youngest international illusionists. Alongside his performing career, he worked as a model and trained in martial arts, becoming a 13-time Canadian Karate champion.
During high school, Jonathan and Drew, with the help of their older brother and father, started flipping houses. They took advantage of a Canadian legal loophole that allowed individuals with no credit and limited funds to take over someone else's mortgage with a personal guarantee. Their first flip yielded a profit of $50,000, sparking their passion for real estate investment.
In 2004, when they were just 26 years old, the Scott brothers jointly established Scott Real Estate Inc., envisioning it as a comprehensive solution for customers seeking assistance with buying, selling, and renovating real estate. Within four years, the company expanded rapidly, employing over a dozen individuals. Meanwhile, Drew explored TV projects, including a real estate competition concept. However, it was a collaboration with Cineflix that led to 'Property Brothers'.
On the show 'Property Brothers', Jonathan and Drew Scott specialize in finding rundown houses with potential and renovating them within a strict budget and timeline. Jonathan takes charge of the contractor and remodeling tasks, overseeing the renovation process and ensuring that the property is transformed into the clients' dream home.
Meanwhile, Drew focuses on the real estate aspect, assisting clients in selling their current home and finding them the perfect new property within their budget. Together, they work seamlessly to deliver stunning transformations while maximizing value for their clients. They frequently post videos with their clients on their Instagram.
