You may have been wondering what’s been up with all the repeats of Flip This House on A&E lately. If you’re like us, you probably have come to enjoy the antics, drive, and the kind heart of Richard Davis and the Trademark Properties (note that they just launched a new website today) team that was featured on A&E’s season 1 of Flip This House.
Unfortunately, Richard Davis and the Trademark team did not return for season 2 with A&E due to a July 2006 Flip This House Lawsuit that Trademark Properties filed against A&E alleging breach of contract and fraud – a chronicle of the lawsuit can be found on a website dedicated to the proceedings called Flip This Lawsuit.
Season 2 of A&E’s Flip This House moved on, with teams in Atlanta and San Antonio – neither team has been received by the public as well as Davis’ team.
A&E’s Flip This House Season 3 is moving closer to Boston, as they have added a New Haven, CT team to their roster. Time, and perhaps the market, will tell if the show makes its way up the coast to Boston – Richard Davis, coincidentally, is looking to build out his flipping teams with his new Trademark Properties Partner Program, which poses another possibility for some Boston flipping teams to make it big on TV.
Richard Davis and his team have signed a deal with TLC for a new show (same concept) called The Real Deal The Real Estate Pros, which is scheduled for initial airing on April 21, 2007. The forerunner episode of The Real Deal The Real Estate Pros was ‘A Home Run For Trademark’, which was a special that aired this past weekend centering around the relocation of Shoeless Joe Jackson’s historic Charleston home, while at the same time helping to renovate the life of former number one Major League Baseball draft pick Josh Hamilton, who just played his first Major League game yesterday, Monday, April 2nd.
Davis has definitely done well for himself, with his Clemson football stadium box, to his recent purchase of a Massachusetts minor league baseball team, the Brockton Rox. Let’s not forget the $7,000 Ginger found in Richard’s Suburban when she decided to clean out his truck!
We wish Richard the best of luck with his new venture – it’s great to see a good guy, with savvy business sense, and determination do well for himself, have a good time while doing it, and help some others along the way.
