The Scott Brothers are looking for families in the Los Angeles and surrounding neighborhoods who dream of turning their house into their forever home. Our homeowners aren’t looking to flip their property or make a quick buck. They know their house is “the one”, but just haven’t been able to put those “forever home” design plans into action.
We're looking for families that LOVE their house - terrific neighborhood, great amenities, tons of memories and decent bones, but also know that so much needs to change inside and out that only a major renovation can fix! If this sounds like you, then Jonathan and Drew want to turn your design dreams into a reality and finally transform your house into your forever home!
NOTICE OF INCREASED RENO COSTS
Residential renovation costs are at an all time high, and the construction industry as a whole has seen unprecedented increases to both product and labor costs - in part due to the ongoing pandemic. Pre-pandemic, the average Forever Home renovation cost anywhere from $100k-$175k, but in 2022 these same projects have been quoted as $200k-$250k. We want to make sure our families are aware of this new reality before making the exciting (but big) decision to renovate their forever homes.
A top notch design and renovation done by Jonathan, Drew and their incredible team.A major renovation completed in an accelerated timeline.Ability to hand over the reins when it comes to permitting, sub trades, designs, etc.A fun, once in a lifetime renovation opportunity to work with experts!
Currently own a home in the Los Angeles area and surrounding neighborhoods.It doesn't matter if you have owned your home for 60 days or 60 years. You just need to own a house that has the potential to be your forever home.Have a renovation/design budget of at least $180,000 ready to go.Be willing to move out of your house for the duration of the renovation/shoot.Be prepared for filming and the start of your renovation as early as Spring 2022.Make yourself available for approximately 8 days of shooting staggered over the renovation period.

I am applying to be a participant in a new television series about home renovation (the “Program”) being developed by SBE (Forever 4) Inc. (“Producer”) through an online application process (the “Application”).
By submitting my Application, I represent that I have read, understood and agreed to comply with the terms of the Application and these Participant Application Terms & Conditions (collectively, the “Agreement”) and acknowledge that I am giving up certain legal rights.
In consideration for being considered for and possibly selected to participate in the Program, I agree as follows:

b. I confirm that any references to me in this Agreement will be deemed to include my co-applicant.
Participation 2. I will comply with the eligibility requirements listed in the Application and with Producer’s instructions with respect to the participant selection process for the Program.

4. I acknowledge and agree that:
a. even if I meet the Program eligibility requirements, Producer is not obligated to interview me and/or select me as a participant;
b. the participant selection process will involve subjective decisions made by Producer in its sole discretion, subject only to the approval of the Broadcaster(s) (defined below) for the Program;
c. Producer’s participant selection decisions are final and binding on me, and not subject to challenge or appeal; and
d. even if I am selected to participate, Producer has no obligation to produce the Program nor does any broadcaster(s) with whom Producer has an agreement (the “Broadcaster(s)”) have any obligation to broadcast the Program even if produced.
5. I confirm that I am not an employee, officer, director or agent of Producer or Warner Bros. Discovery Inc., LLC or Corus Entertainment Inc., any known sponsor of the Program and/or any of their respective affiliated or related companies, licensees, or assigns, or members of the immediate family or members of the same households (whether related or not) of such employees, officers, directors or agents. I agree that if Producer determines, in its sole discretion, that I am sufficiently connected with the Program (including by a connection to any Program sponsor or advertiser), such that my participation in the Program could result in or create the appearance of impropriety, Producer may decide I am ineligible to participate in the Program.
6. I may be asked to submit photographs, video submissions and/or written materials (collectively, the “Materials”) as part of the Application, participant selection process, and/or the Program. I confirm that Producer will not be obligated to return any or all Materials, whether or not I am selected to participate in the Program.
7. I represent and warrant that the Materials: (i) do not contain any material, language or gesture that is libelous, defamatory, indecent, profane, obscene or violent; (ii) do not contain any sexual references and/or content; (iii) are original and that I own or control, to the full extent necessary for Producer or Broadcaster(s) to use the Materials, all right, title, and interest (including copyright and all underlying rights therein) in the Materials; (iv) do not infringe upon the intellectual property or other statutory or common law rights of any third party; (v) do not contain any recognizable logos or any other copyrighted material (including on the clothing I am wearing); and (vi) do not contain any mention, endorsement, or “plug” any commercial product, service, venture or thing, except for the name and business of the Company.

9. I understand that I will not be paid any money for submitting the Application, for participating in the participant selection process or for granting Producer the rights and benefits granted in the Application and this Agreement, and that Producer’s consideration of me as a potential participant in the Program is sufficient consideration.
10. I will take any further action or sign any further documents (including, without limitation, confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements, contributor releases or otherwise) reasonably requested by Producer to confirm or perfect the rights of Producer under this Agreement and/or in connection with the Application and Program.
Grant of Rights 11. I agree that Producer shall have the right to capture and/or record (by still or motion picture or audio-only) my voice, name, appearance, activities (including any interviews and performances), biographical information, and Application information in and in connection with the participant selection process for the Program (all such photographs and recordings to be called, collectively, the “Recordings”).
12. I agree that Producer, or Producer’s agents and assigns, shall forever own all rights, including copyright, in the Recordings, and shall have the irrevocable right to use, and license others to use and sublicense, the Recordings in whole or in part, an unlimited number of times, in all languages, in all media whether now known or hereafter devised, anywhere in the universe in connection with the participant selection process for the Program.

I grant to Producer the exclusive right to (and the right to authorize others to) reproduce, broadcast, distribute, use and otherwise exploit all or some of the Recordings in and in connection with the production, promotion, broadcast, distribution and other exploitation of the Program or any related productions or in any other manner at Producer’s sole discretion throughout the universe in perpetuity in all media now known or developed in future. I agree that Producer may (and may authorize others to) edit the Recordings in connection with such use.
14. I grant to Producer a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, irrevocable and non-exclusive right to (and the right to authorize others to) reproduce, broadcast, distribute, use and otherwise exploit all or some of the Materials in and in connection with the production, promotion, broadcast, distribution and other exploitation of the Program or any related productions or in any other manner at Producer’s sole discretion throughout the universe in perpetuity in all media now known or developed in future. I agree that Producer may (and may authorize others to) edit the Materials in connection with such use.
15. For certainty, I grant the foregoing rights in Sections 13 and 14 to Producer, whether or not I am selected to participate in the Program.
