Proceeds from Sale of the ‘Brother vs.
Brother’ Renovated Homes Benefit Rebuilding Together
In last night’s epic finale of HGTV’s Brother vs.
Brother, the network’s ultimate home improvement and house
flipping contest, Property Brother Jonathan Scott was
crowned the winner. The four-episode competition series featured
fun-filled sibling rivalry as Jonathan and Drew vied to see who
could most successfully renovate and resell a Las Vegas fixer
upper. The sale of both brothers’ renovated homes yielded a profit
of $88,888, which will be donated to the Southern Nevada affiliate
of HGTV’s longtime charitable partner, Rebuilding Together,
a national organization that transforms the lives of low-income
homeowners by providing critical home repairs to improve the safety
and health of their homes and revitalizing the communities in which
they live.

The donation will be used for much-needed repairs to a facility
owned by Transition Services Inc., a Las Vegas non-profit
organization that provides meaningful work for adults with
developmental disabilities.
“I will never let him live this down because I won the most
important season of Brother vs. Brother,” says Jonathan. “The best
part of the competition, however, was donating our profits to
Rebuilding Together and seeing those funds being put to good use
right here in our hometown of Las Vegas.”
Cynthia Baca, executive director of Rebuilding Together of
Southern Nevada, added, “Thanks to the generosity of HGTV, Drew and
Jonathan, we are able to support the individuals served through
Transition Services Inc., by remodeling one of their training
facilities to accommodate additional clientele.”
Brother vs. Brother pitted Jonathan and Drew against each other
as they put their home renovation and real estate skills to the
test. From demolition to sale, the guys buy two Las Vegas fixer
uppers and completely renovate every room with their own money.
Each week, Jonathan and Drew went head-to-head in a series of home
improvement challenges and, to up the ante, the loser of the
challenge faced dares such as dancing in an exotic male revue and
wearing an embarrassing costume in the middle of a crowded public
place. Online visitors to HGTV.com can check out additional
behind-the-scenes footage, exclusive extended cuts and uncensored
dares captured by Drew and Jonathan’s older brother JD Scott.
“Jonathan beat me fair and square. That’s fine, but that’s this
season,” responded Drew. “Next time, mark my words. Jonathan is
going down.”
The brothers will next appear on HGTV in the new season of
Buying & Selling, premiering on Wednesday, July 1, at 9 p.m.
ET/PT.
