CNBC is rolling out three real estate shows in primetime

CNBC is focusing on real estate as a programming growth area with three new shows joining its primetime lineup in May, reports Dade Hayes of Deadline Hollywood.

Hayes writes, “Listing Impossible follows superstar real estate agent Aaron Kirman and his team as they work to sell multi-million dollar estates that have languished on the market. Cash Pad (working title) is a home renovation series in which Bachelorette couple-turned-home flippers JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rogers transform ordinary homes and apartments into lucrative short-term rental properties. Five Day Business Trip (working title) features a husband-and-wife design dup who remodel small businesses by creating additional money-making operations for them and do it all in five days.

“‘Whether it’s investing or building or selling, real estate remains one of the best and fastest ways to build wealth,” said Jim Ackerman, EVP, Primetime Alternative Programming, CNBC. “These new shows and our returning series, The Deed: Chicago, are a perfect fit for our primetime slate.”
