What Only True Fans Know About HGTV's Scott McGillivray

Posted by Mittie Cheatwood on Friday, May 31, 2024

Scott McGillivray is the CEO of both the marketing company McGillivray Group and the production company McGillivray Entertainment Media Inc. In April 2023, a deal between McGillivray Entertainment Media and Corus Studios was announced, ensuring that the two companies will work together for the next four years to create more of McGillivray's shows for distribution to HGTV Canada. Regarding the announcement, McGillivray said, "We are thrilled to join Corus in blazing a bold path ahead, creating incredible content for audiences in Canada and around the world" (via Cision).

McGillivray also co-founded the company Keyspire with Michael Sarracini, a fellow member of the boy band Next Element. After the band broke up, McGillivray and Sarracini discovered how much of their monthly rent went toward a mortgage payment. They decided to become landlords themselves and to be good ones to their future renters. The duo bought a rental property and taught themselves as much as they could about flipping houses. Their success grew as they continued working, which opened the door for them to appear on "Income Property" on HGTV and to start the Keyspire education program for people to learn about real estate investing.
