Joe Gorga is apologizing after finding himself in hot water over a questionable Instagram post about his house-flipping business.
The post showed what Joe claimed was a before-and-after shot of the same home, writing, “Look at this flip worth $1.9m. Took me 6 months to turn this around. Ripped off the roof & added to the second floor. I think I might move in.”

“Joe has flipped hundreds of properties since he was 20 years old,” he said. “He has a very successful real estate business, and relied on a social media person in his office who helped him with all that stuff. Unfortunately, it was just an error that person made that Joe didn’t catch.”
The rep continued: “He never intended to do anything but be truthful, and is sorry to have been misleading to his followers. Joe had helped fund that project, and not flip it. It was a mistake and Joe’s going to definitely be more careful with what he’s posting in the future.”

“We felt like he was using our house to advertise his business, and you can’t be making mistakes like that,” Svensson toldGMA. “You have to check your facts and make sure anything you put out there is true.”
