Television host, real estate broker, designer, author, life coach & coveted speaker Egypt Sherrod is a POWERHOUSE!
“Tough love with a hug,” is what fans and clients have come to affectionately expect from Egypt Sherrod. Egypt is the CEO of Indigo Road home furnishings, and the Atlanta based Egypt Sherrod Real Estate & Design Group.
Before real estate, there was radio. Egypt’s award-winning radio broadcast career spanned 20 years, scoring interviews with the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Martin Scorsese,
and the late James Brown and Prince to name a few. At 30, Egypt had been syndicated in more than 60 cities throughout the U.S., including major markets such as NYC, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Atlanta. Her honest and electric delivery of sass and class quickly won over millions of listeners, making her a household name.
Egypt’s first foray into real estate happened at age 22, when she flipped her first property. By the age of 34, she had flipped more than 42 personal properties, and 67 with partners. Later, Egypt’s love of real estate would lead the Temple graduate to her career as a top real estate broker and wealth educator.
Now, Egypt is known as the host and co-executive producer of HGTV’s Critic’s Choice Awards-nominated, Married To Real Estate. She and her husband, builder and entrepreneur Mike Jackson, made a splash on the network after being crowned the winners of the flagship series, Rock the Block (season three). You may also recognize her from hit shows such as Flipping Virgins and Property Virgins.
This year, Egypt announced a number of exciting partnerships for her new home furnishing company, Indigo Road. To create the perfect expression of her design journey, Egypt has teamed up with Jeffan International, East at Main, York Wallcoverings, WallPops, and more.
“I believe that good design never sacrifices luxury, functionality or sustainability—it’s not only possible, but essential to have them all. My mission in design has always been to prove that luxury, comfort, and sustainable design can coexist in a way that relates to everyone.”
As a mother of three, Egypt’s approach to interior design has been shaped by her parenthood. Harper, Kendall, and bonus-daughter Simone are her greatest inspirations:
“I have zero regrets on waiting until later in life to be a mom. I’m settled, grounded, and can actually laugh at myself now when I make mistakes. No mother is perfect. Being a mom has
also helped me hone my design aesthetic to include functionality and sustainability which is important for everyday life. It’s my mission to prove that luxury, comfort and sustainability can
coexist.”
This mission is fulfilled in her upcoming consumer product line, Indigo Road, launching Fall 2023.
When she isn’t busy filming, writing books, or spending time with her children, Egypt and her husband can be found recording their popular podcast, Marriage and Money Podcast with Egypt & Mike, available on Apple, Spotify, Amazon & IHeart
Sherrod recently had the honor of ringing the bell at the New York Stock Exchange, and was honored with a Proclamation declaring August 23rd “Egypt Sherrod Appreciation Day” by the City of Atlanta for her philanthropic contributions, and by the “100 Black Women” organization as a real estate trailblazer.
Egypt Sherrod has been featured in Forbes, Fast Company, Black Enterprise, Ebony, Essence, Rolling Stone, Inman News and Architectural Digest. She has been named “Network Journal’s 40 Under 40”, and made recurring appearances as the home buyers/sellers “go-to girl” on NBC’s Today Show, CNBC, FOX, CNN and a host of other publications and digital platforms.
Her books Keep Calm: It’s Just Real Estate and Ignite Joy can be found on Amazon.
