Brokers right at home as television hosts.

If your clients want to buy a "Home Sweet Home" on the isle of Manhattan, perhaps getting up at 7 a.m. on Saturdays and watching the first New York City real estate magazine program on television, will help them do just that.

Two top brokers from Halstead Property LLC, Efrom Allen and Susan Ruttner, host the show titled "Home Sweet Home," now in its sixth episode on WWOR Channel 9.

As complicated as it is to buy real estate in New York, one would think there would have been a television show long ago, but "Home Sweet Home" is the first of its kind here in the Big Apple.

"Diving into the New York real estate market is a stressful and scary process for people of all ages," said Allen, also a talented television producer and director, who came up with the idea for the show.

"We are hoping that this show will give the public all of the information they need at once, whether they may be renting, buying or selling. By being better educated in all aspects of the real estate industry, residents can figure out what the best option is for them and their finances."

From advice on when to buy and what's out there on the market, the public will be informed as well as entertained by Efrom's enthusiastic tell-it-like-it-is style and Susan's graceful and steadfast approach.

"We have very different personalities, Efrom and I, but somehow it works." said Susan, who always sticks to the script, while Efrom has been known to adlib in the highly entertaining show.

"If it doesn't work, we can always do another take," he chuckles. "I'd rather have it sound fresh--and I haven't done anything bad yet."

The 30-minute program has aired weekly since February 12, providing real estate news, up-to-the minute mortgage information and available properties in all locales.

Viewers will also feel the pulse of New York's vibrant neighborhoods with Home Sweet Home's neighborhood travelogues every week.

A panel discussion is held at different venues throughout the city and includes attorneys, brokers and other specialists, who offer valuable insight and tips to better learn the world of New York real estate, affording buyers the opportunity to make better choices. The program also allows sellers to better assess the value of their own home as they prepare to list their property for sale. By displaying up-to-date trends in the market, the show also gives viewers an accurate portrayal of what they can expect to encounter in terms of prices and hot neighborhoods. Both Efrom and Susan have previous television experience.

Efrom, a sales associate at Halstead and founder of Worldwide Televideo Enterprises, has produced cable and broadcast television rock and fashion videos, infomercials, direct response advertisements and corporate industrial videos. From 1970 through the mid-1980's he was a regular producer-host of cable TV programs, "The People and Efrom Allen," "Efrom Allen's Underground Tonight," "Manhattan Tonight," and "Efrom Allen's Nightlife."

Susan is currently an associate broker and senior vice president at Halstead.

She was co-chair of the Salesperson's Council of the Real Estate Board of New York for the organization's first five years.

She was also a producer-broadcaster at WNYE-TV, Channel 25 and had created numerous series, including the bi-lingual Hebrew-English series "Israel in Israel," for which she received a New York area Emmy award.

"Your Community Schools," a magazine-format program that highlighted the positives in the public schools system, received a Citation of Merit from the Television Academy.
