NBC 5 Chicago to Launch Luxury Real Estate Show

NBC 5 Chicago (WMAQ) will debut a weekly, locally-focused luxury real estate series called The Listing on Sunday, May 18 at 8:30 a.m. CT.

Hosted and executive produced by Cortney Hall—co-star of NBC 5’s weekday entertainment and lifestyle program Chicago Today—NBC 5 will air weekly premiere episodes of The Listing on Sunday mornings at 8:30 a.m. CT, immediately following NBC 5 News at 8 a.m. The program will also stream simultaneously on NBCChicago.com and on NBC Chicago’s YouTube channel.

The NBC-owned station said the show will take “a deep, visual dive into the most-coveted listings in Chicago and the city’s surrounding suburbs, not to mention an inside look at breathtaking properties in Michigan, Wisconsin and Indiana.”

It also promises to take viewers on a homeowner’s dream journey highlighting up to three properties per episode, all aligned with a focus on architecture, design trends and history.

“I was born and raised in Chicago, and I’m constantly reminded of the beauty and history woven into this city,” said Hall. “I’ve watched my mom build a successful career in design and luxury real estate, which has always had a lasting impression on me. ‘The Listing’ is my way of showcasing not just stunning residences, but also the diverse neighborhoods, rich histories, architecture, and design that make Chicago and its surrounding suburbs unlike anywhere else in the country.”

Every episode of The Listing will also feature a dedicated “theme,” including “Skyline Views,” “South Side Mansions,” “Famously-Owned,” “Lakefront Luxury,” “Baller Brownstones” and “Glamourous Getaways” among others.

Throughout the series, Hall will be joined by luxury real estate broker Carrie McCormick, who will provide key takeaway tips for buyers, sellers and homeowners. Ben Cohen, managing director at Rate, will also appear to give insight on the ever-changing real estate market. The Listing is also in partnership with Chicago Title & Trust and the Chicago Architecture Center.
