HGTV star Egypt Sherrod reveals unlikely new career move after network canceled Married to Real Estate
HGTV star Egypt Sherrod has announced her next career move eight months after her show Married to Real Estate was cancelled.
Over the weekend, it was revealed that the real estate broker, 49, can now be booked as a public speaker via KBC Speaks, a boutique speaker agency that joins influential speakers with audiences ready for transformation.
Described as a trailblazer, mentor, and advocate for women's empowerment, Sherrod can talk about building legacy through leadership and entrepreneurship, marriage, money and mindset, purpose-driven reinvention and scaling a business with heart and impact.
Sherrod shared her job update on social media alongside a video of her walking onto a stage with confidence before transforming into a phoenix.
'And so it begins…,' she captioned the upload. 'The truest chapter.'
Fans went wild over the announcement and rushed to the comments where they voiced support for her latest endeavor.
'Goosebumps!' wrote one. 'This woman inspires me so much and I know I'm not alone.'
'So excited for you!' added another.

It's been a turbulent time for Sherrod and her husband Mike Jackson, who learned last year that their hugely popular show Married to Real Estate was among those shelved by HGTV.
The couple's program launched in 2022 and followed them as they balanced their personal and professional lives while helping clients in Atlanta, Georgia, land their dream homes.
The show wrapped up its fourth season in May 2025 with the third season pulling in 16.6 million viewers.
At the time, Sherrod claimed that Married to Real Estate had been axed while she and her husband were on vacation.
In a statement that was posted on both of their social media accounts, she said: 'Mike and I just landed back in the States after an unforgettable family trip through the Mediterranean, and we're met with unexpected news: HGTV has decided not to move forward with Married to Real Estate.'
'While the chain of events leading up to this is disheartening, we are deeply grateful,' she continued.
'Grateful for four incredible seasons. Grateful for our amazing crew and supportive fans. Grateful that our businesses continue to thrive.'
Sherrod is the CEO of the Egypt Sherrod Real Estate Group, while Jackson is the owner of Jackson Draper Renovations.

They both served as judges on HGTV's Rock the Block season two and competed themselves in season three.
Like Sherrod, Jackson has also joined KBC Speaks and can talk construction and renovation, career reinvention, creative hustle and brand building.
In January, Sherrod revealed her toes were 'shattered' in a freak accident when a piece of marble fell on her foot and shattered two of her toes.
At the time, she said: 'I had to step away from the world for the past five weeks to focus fully on healing after surgery. It's been a scary road, but I'm still standing and still on the mend.
'Now here's the wild part… just as I finally got back on my feet last week, a literal piece of marble fell on my foot and shattered two of my toes. TWO. The devil is absolutely a liar.'
Despite the setback, Sherrod is staying positive and is refusing to take negative energy forward into the new year.
'This still happened in 2025, the year of the snake, so I'm rebuking all of this energy for 2026, the year of the horse,' she said. 'No carryover. None.'
