Career

Sofie has worked as a real-estate agent, a sales and letting negotiator and a relocation agent in Notting Hill, London. She had her own company, specialising in finding houses, managing moves and providing aftercare services to new home-owners.[2][3]

In 2006, she temporarily replaced her sister Kirstie as co-presenter of Location, Location, Location, while Kirstie was on maternity leave.[4] During this period, she presented an episode in which Hackney was voted as the worst place to live in the UK, which caused some controversy.[5][6][7]

In 2008, she began hosting the Canadian television show The Unsellables on HGTV (Canada). Her role on the show was to help people sell their "unsellable" homes.[8] The programme has since been broadcast on the U.S. HGTV and on the BBC in the UK, where Sofie is paired with property expert John Rennie.

She has a degree in Medieval History from the University of Edinburgh.[8][2]
