Tatiana risks it all to set up her own real estate agency in Montreal and compete with the large nation-wide real estate companies.
Tatiana Londono is no stranger to television. She had appeared in three episodes of HGTV’s show Buy Me as the client’s real estate agent. This reality real estate program profiles the experiences of sellers starting from the listing of their house to getting it sold.
Whalley Abbey Media, which produces Buy Me, are responsible for the creation of Tatiana’s show, The Property Shop. TV personality Debbie Travis and husband Hans Rosenstein are owners of this production company.
The Property Shop was first aired on March 30, 2008 on HGTV Canada and made its debut January 1, 2009 on HGTV U.S.
About The Property Shop
The series revolves around Tatiana’s real estate dealings, her home life and plans for opening her own real estate agency. While she is drumming up business with property developers, homeowners and influential business people, Tatiana is also scouting for real estate agents to join her team.
The responsibility of running the agency lies in the hands of office manager Davina who set up shop in an empty office and few agents. In addition to establishing her business, Tatiana is faced with her husband being rushed to hospital and an audit by the real estate board.
Some of the storylines in the first season include: reflection of the murder of a Montreal realtor, juggling visits with clients, evaluating realtors applying for a job at her agency, convincing sellers that the price of their homes may be too high for the market, and finding the right property for buyers who are unrealistic in their expectations.
While business and home life taking up her time, Tatiana is also studying for her broker’s exam. If she doesn’t pass the exam, she can’t open her own agency.
About Tatiana Londono
After attending McGill University, Tatiana followed her father’s footsteps by becoming a real estate agent in 2003. Within a year she reached the Top 10 Agents list. This is a rare achievement for a novice realtor. Four years later, she opened her own business, Londono Realty Group in Montreal, Canada.
The most distinctive trait of Tatiana is her long blonde corkscrew-curled hair. In an interview with Mary Lamey of the Montreal Gazette, Tatiana said, “I can never cut my hair. People might not recognize my name, but they all remember the hair."
Canwest Entertainment describes her as “Lauded by her peers as the ‘Gordon Ramsay of real estate,’ Tatiana has a personality people either love or hate – or hate to love.
Tatiana lives in Montreal with her husband Oren, her two children and a nanny who keeps the household running during her long days spent in the real estate world.

I hope this reaches who ever it is that thinks this show is worth anyones
time! I love HGTV, but this show is a look at the life of Tatiana and
nothing more . It isn't helpful in any way as far as home buyers or
decorating or first time house hunters!!!! I hope some one agrees with me
because I Do Not enjoy watching it and as other viewers say , so stop
watching it ...I will!!!

I really can't understand why you waste airtime on Tatiana. She is
absolutely obnoxious--nasty to everyone, mean spirited and just a great big
whiny diva. She has such a big ego that she just can't bring herself to
even listen to her clients and this whole soap opera with her
Superwoman/Supermom crap makes me want to hurl. I've watched two episodes
and I am done, done, done!

Yup, it's a day in the life of Tatiana Londono, who happens to be a real
estate broker. It is not really helpful for the real estate buyer or
seller. Tatiana so flaky and self absorbed that it is almost funny.

I actually love this show. I think she is refreshing and I like to see the
prices of houses in that area and such.

I am one of those persons who happenes to know Tatiana personaly. I can
tell you this woman is a mother,a wife,a broker,and a teacher!!she is very
successful in her affairs,very honest in all her dealings and continously
trains her team week after week,she shares her listings with others in her
office and gives them a higher percentage than anyone would do,her agents
are a happy bunch of peopple.

I think she is awesome! The show IS about Tatiana and her life as a real
estate agent turned broker. I think the show offers valuable insight in
what it takes to work in the real estate industry, or any for that matter.
Determination, fierce can-do attitude, and a fun, hip, & fresh outlook
on day to day business dealings. So she loves herself...Is there anything
wrong with that? I think people should be more passionate about their
life's work and then maybe they would be bringing in 100K plus a year...

I TOTALLY LOVE THIS SHOW! It has me hooked and I can't wait to see
what happens with her next clients (BUYERS and SELLERS)!! Her
interaction with her staff is so fresh and cool, and I appreciate that
she lets the audience in on alot of very interesting conversations
that she has with every one she interacts with. I TOTALLY LOVE THIS
SHOW!

I think that the Yankees will win the A.L. East. Additionally, I enjoy
watching The Property Shop on HGTV.

Stunned that anyone would actually run their business the way this agent
does. Gives a bad name to agents who behave professionally. All she seems
to whine about is the commission she just lost. A real disservice to other
ethical, professional agents. I normally enjoy watching most of the real
estate related shows on HGTV, but this is totally off the mark. Someone
posted she was a wonderful mother, broker, etc. Maybe she is; maybe she
acts up because she's on TV. But if anyone ever treated me the way she
treats her clients, she'd have a big boot up her you-know-what plus
complaints with her board, real estate commission, and commerce and
consumer affairs. Very poor choice HGTV! Come on, you can do a WHOLE LOT
BETTER.

It's refreshing to see a woman on TV, it seems to be mostly men. What's
the differance between her and Brad Lamb? He's male, she's female and she
actually has a cute personality and is nice to look at. She shows you that
it isn't all roses and it's very hard work to be an agent!! She doesn't
brag that she's rich or that she's gonna be rich and she tells it like it
is! Good for you Tatiana!!

I personally find the show quite entertaining and educational. I think this
show is helpful to anyone interested in learning about the world of real
estate, and those getting into the biz, as it takes you step by step from
listing of a property to the sale. Watching someone in action who is good
at what they do is a great way to learn. Tatiana's attitude is sharp, which
is what makes her successful in the cut-throat industry she happens to be
in. If you don't like the show, simply don't watch it.

That's funny, a man can be successful, assertive or ambitious, but the
minute a woman has any of those characteristics she is scorned. Give me a
break, this is the 21st century, women can be independent and can be
go-getters. Her show makes for good television; she has colorful
personality, she's witty and good looking. If she was one of those boring
and uninteresting realtors (which there is lots of), nobody would watch the
show. Good for you Tatiana!!! Be proud of yourself and keep doing what
you're doing, and don't mind those who are just jealous.

I love this show! Tatiana is an intriguing character. Very entertaining.
One of my favorite HGTV shows.

Guest :
I think Tatiana is HOT!! I hope they keep this show airing in the states
and Tatiana keeps doing what she does for the show. She is only telling it
like it is so I guess for a lot of you,the truth hurts. Most of the antics
are for television anyway so lighten up. I bet most of you naysayers
thought BJ & The Bear was the real deal too. Lighten up already. Have a
cookie.

tatiano my pastor always said your opinion of me is none of my bussiness so
keep doing what your doing and dont take the crap from false people and you
will go far hope your husband is well and hope to see your real estate
program is back on soon

I absolutely love this show! When I first saw the commercials for
"The Property Shop", it didn't look very appealing to me because
Tatiana seemed so full of herself. After watching just one episode I was
hooked. I like all of the unusual personalities on the show, especially
Tatiana and Davina. "The Property Shop" is very unique and
entertaining. I hope it returns to the air soon.

I was hoping this show was CANCELLED....I got tired of looking at Tatiana's
Butt!!! The camera always ended up on her behind...and I think this show is
utterly ridiculous
Aug 25, 2009 2:46 PM
Guest :
I also love watching this show even though TAT is a train wreck waiting to
happen.. I think we all wonder just what she will say or do next. True, she
is obnoxious, cocky, "full of herself", opinionated and greedy.
Cute, yes, but no cuter than she thinks she is. The way she plays to the
camera and treats her pooor sweet patient husband, wow! Yet, I think many
of us cant wait to watch again and see what she does next time. She just
knew her dad would work for her (to make HER happy) and could not imagine
being turned down. What a shocker that was!! She is used to getting what
she wants when she wants it (and often says the same...) Still, I am glad
she is back. Wonder where she went for that brief spell...?? Buni

I'm glad you guys are helping her by running ads for her to sell homes on
T.V. Too bad that all her time is being wasted on the show. She rarely
returns her phone calls from GENUINE REAL ESATE AGENTS who have clients
that want to visit HER properties. As an agent, I don't appreciate her diva
attitude. Too bad this buisness is getting a BAD reputation with agents
like her,that you insist on showcase. Show a real agent who really
earns her keep,not this one.
Aug 27, 2009 6:11 AM
Guest :
why don't you post all the comments that people leave? Or do you only put
the ones that are from people who are NOT in the business of really
selling homes.???? Love HGTV HATE TATIANA.Collaboration is what the ACAIQ
insists upon. Too bad Tatiana has forgotten what the rules of the trade
are. The rest of us work double the amount of time she does, and we don't
have HGTV to do our advertising or money to stick in poor unsuspecting
sellers pocket to do the show.

I think this show is awesome! In my opinion, its not meant to attract the
buyer/seller who want to be educated...theres a billion other shows on for
that purpose. I believe it attracts those wanting a taste of what the biz
is all about. I love her fresh and trendy outlook on the business and all
the players involved. Funny how those who dont like it have reasearched
themselves to this page :D

This show is just so contrived and insipid, it is at times uncomfortable to
watch. I can't even begin to think that ANYONE thinks this show is
watchable. It is literally gut wrenchingly awful. I tried to sit through a
few episodes of season one and vowed that I would not give away anymore
seconds of my precious life to this show, but now I am on occasion forced
to sit through the adverts promoting the second season (why IS there even a
second season?)which is now even more forced, scripted, and ugh, just
terrible. Please HGTV do us all a favor, in the words of Clive Pearse's
Ameristralian accent; Tatiana? Your show has been canceled.

I'm sorry but side show bob has got to go! I can't stand the way she treats
clients. This self absorbed princess has to go! I saw one clip of her show
and i thought I threw up in my mouth. She said she wanted to choke one of
her clients, why does hgtv encourage such trailer trash.She gives realtors
a bad rap.
Sep 13, 2009 11:51 PM
Guest :
I love the show and love Tatiana too! She is so Hot! I have to admit that
is the first thing that drew me to the show. I love that hair of hers, she
has got to be a freak with her man having hair like that! WOW I did
see an episode where her dad appeared and I think she might be Cuban from
the way her dad spoke. I am Cuban and I love that girl cuban or not! I will
keep watchin ya babe! Lucky man who got. Heck you make me want to leave Los
Angeles and buy a home from you just to meet you. XOXOXO Un Cubano
from Los Angeles!

Speaking as a Realtor, anyone who thinks this reflects an accurate
depiction of what really happens in our industry is sadly deluded. This
show is totally scripted and contrived just to get viewers, and NO broker I
know would act like she does with clients or employees. Hopefully, she's a
sweet person when the cameras are off. IMHO, this show does a great
disservice to the real estate industry by depicting it in such a negative
manner. I love HGTV and most of its shows, but this one is a major dog that
never should have been let out of the kennel.

My husband is a realtor and he and I both LOVE the show!!!!....We love
Tatiana, can tell she is a GREAT business woman and love the Drive she
has......My husband would like to know if she has an email address as he
would love to get some advice from her, she has it going for her and he
wants to be as successeful in real estate as she is..

I am an associate real estate broker who, because of Tatiana, is opening my
own shop. She is an inspiration to all in my shoes because of her passion
for real estate, demand for excellenc and the integrity she holds. She is
very professional, knowledgable and knows how to close a deal. Not everyone
watching hgtv is a buyer or seller,but actually us realtors learn a thing
or two that we can bring into our business that improves the dynamics of
running an office and dealing with people. Tatiana is my idol to whom I
hope to aspire to.

Tatiana is the Borg of Real Estate! There is NO stopping her :) Resistance
is futile!
I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Tatiana and her show!
She's SMART and knows how to get things done and not waste time. I also
think she earns EVERY DIME she makes esp. when dealing with
flake-0-flippers who still think it's 2005 (and think their property is
worth $100K more than it actually is) !
Wishing you nothing but
the VERY BEST Tatiana! You deserve it ;)

Hey
HGTV! I'm a Tatiana addict and need REGULAR doses of "The Property
Shop" Got it? Good!

My wife & I both are Miami Realtors. We so love the Property Shop
because we so understand the total Crazies of the business. We just Laugh
and say she should move her business to Miami.
