- With their growing family leaving them short on space, Josh and Jordan are hoping to sell their three-bedroom Savannah, Georgia bungalow. But after four months on the market and virtually no interest, they’re stumped. Especially since they’ve tried their best to stage the home for a quick sale. Enter property expert Sofie Allsopp. She says the property is perfect for first-time homeowners, but with its mismatched furniture and patterns, derelict back deck, and a dining room that doubles as a laundry room, potential buyers just can’t see beyond the mess. Sofie’s design plan includes an outdoor overhaul and while Josh tackles the garden with a machete, Jordan makes her mark inside.

#Unsellables
I’m cracking up over the lady doing yard cleanup in heels!🤣
I had a neighbor that used to do that… 6 inch heels and 2 inch short shorts! The men in the neighborhood loved it. 🙄
O
9:52 (about the comp house): "It's staged well. No wonder why it sold." In 11 months??!!
Unbelievable. I sold my house last year and simply watched CZcams videos, repainted all the rooms in neutral colors, got rid of most of my furniture, MINIMAL wall art, painted the outside of the house. Had an open house and over 30 couples showed up in one day. 1 offer that day, 5 more offers in the next two days, 3 more by the end of the week. Accepted an offer for $10k more than asking price. Easy-peasy.
Yaaay, good for you. Taking the same tack when I sell.
You should go into real-estate then! You apparently have a hidden talent for it!
When we decided to sell our house we painted everything, including inside the closets. We rented a storage space and took out all kinds of stuff including half of our clothes so the closets would look bigger. Everything was scrubbed within an inch of its life. Our house sold before the for sale sign was even in the ground. Our realtor though she had someone who would be interested and brought them by. They bought it, so it never made the multi list or had a sign. Just make sure your house is spotless and reasonably up to date and it will sell. Hard work pays off.
When we staged our house we did the same thing. We took out excess furniture and things in the closets, painted and kept the house immaculate. The house was ready to show at any minute. Sometimes I had only 30 minutes to get it ready for potential buyers and had no problem doing so. I also worked hard so the yard was beautiful. We had 2 full price offers and the house sold in two weeks.
I watched a lot of CZcams and HGTV videos on staging homes.
A good tip I got from one of the videos was to hang a mirror in the house so people could see themselves living in it .
The seller shouldn't be in the house when people come to look at it because they'll feel too inhibited to discuss the house frankly.
The gal needs to take everything off of the front of the fridge.
Oh my gosh you bring back memories of what I did to sell my houses! We scrub scrub scrub paint paint paint stage stage stage. And it's sold that week!
Their daughter is an absolute doll. Their hidden talent is making cute babies!
Geez, we had our first three children while living in a 1,000 sq.ft. 3 bed, 1 bath home. We loved it and with a fenced yard it was great for our children playing outside. We would have lived there longer but husband got transferred in the military. People are so strange, I think they don't really know how to take care of a home, let it get run down and then want to move to a "nice" clean home to start over. Problem is that the neglect and clutter follow them wherever they go, and soon they're in the same old mess. Declutter your home, paint it pretty colors, have a plan for acquiring the right furniture, keep it in good repair and enjoy the home! Cleaning and decluttering go a long way to making a home livable.
I know! I guess part of it is that there's no basement? That adds to square footage considerably even if it's just storage. We're 7people in totally dysfunctional 1200 sq feet (our house has oddly shaped rooms etc) but we just make it work. The busy street would be a deterrent though. I hated the noise when we lived on a busy road. But a fence solves lots of problems, and properties fronting/backing onto busy roads often are deeper than standard lots.
And they said they overgrown the house with 1600sqf!!! 3 bedrooms and only one kid. That’s just badly used space, they could even have one more kid in that house and live well if they took care of it. Now they re just going to have more space and more clutter.
"We've tried everything to sell this home" and then they show dirty laundry with damaged door in living room. 🤣🤣🤣 Are people really this clueless?
I think the living room should be used as the dining room since it's near the kitchen and the dining room should be used as a living room since it has a fireplace. The switch would also make the placement of the laundry room less awkward.
That is actually a fantastic idea!!! I never thought of it, but now that you mention it, I wonder if it wasn’t intended to be that way. The somewhat narrow shape of the “living room” makes complete sense if you think of it as a dining room.
That is the best suggestion. I was wondering if that was the kitchen on the other side of the wall.
I'm really confused about why they thought putting clutter in the fireplace was something to do in a normal situation, let alone when you're selling your house. WTF
Not being funny, but having my house like this when I have a visitor would cause me severe anxiety attacks.
My thought exactly! They received friends and family like that?
me too
No one came to visit. If they did, the friends should have helped the couple clean up the place, and stage the rooms appropriately.
Does someone really have to tell these adults to take the clutter out of the fireplace? This is just too unbelievable.
That had to be staged by the show. No normal people store curtains in their fireplace. Come on, Unsellables!!
@@ShastaAnn you would be surprised lol my older step sister has stuff in every open space I swear..
That would make me nuts! HAHA
Oh you may have missed the lady with mice poop everywhere including the dining table! Where that realtor was is beyond me. Her 2 girls like 7 & 10 drew all over the walls doors heater vents... the carpet and mom? Looked totally offended for her “creative girls” ? This idiot was clueless as to why it wasn’t selling. The girls bedrooms were screaming neon bright enough to need sunglasses! Yet... she was dressed in designer stuff, her hair and make up to perfection. She ignored any responsibility to her brats and that house on,y herself!
lol it never sold
I worked for an Estate Agent. You'd be surprised by people's 'norms' re clutter, cleanliness & inappropriate items left out at viewings ( lube & sextoys ,dirty knickers etc)
Watching these episodes makes me wonder if they've STAGED them as yucky as possible on purpose!!
I wonder the same thing!
You are spot on
Agreed! Honestly can't believe anyone actively trying to sell their house would be this clueless as to what the issues might be. I mean, for example, their front door is clearly hideous!
People can be really clueless and lazy about it
I work at a university and, honestly, I can see young couples being like this. Not the majority but there are a lot of good, hardworking young people who have not been shown how to cook or take care of a home. Common sense is not always a given, most times it’s taught.
The azaleas in the front of the house could have been cut back to about 12 inches off the ground. The azaleas of Savannah are a tradition, and trimmed right, they could have been an asset at zero cost. I had mine cut back five feet and it made a tremendous difference. The leaves in the yard, it's such a HUGE job here in the south, because the leaves keep falling for six months. I've seriously considered cutting down almost all my trees just to get rid of the problem. It is the oak trees that make those huge leaves you see in the planters, and unlike the trees I grew up with up north, they do not decay well. Very difficult.
yesiownfrodo those didn’t look like azaleas to me.
I love how shocked they are that their house hasn’t sold. It’s an absolute dump. Have you heard of decluttering? How about paint? A rake to clean up the yard? This couple is ridiculous.
Hstewar Wow. The couple is young, not ridiculous. Very rude comment.
That’s pretty obnoxious of you to say, not helpful at all
@@tammysims5164 come on. I moved out when I was 18 and married at 20. I was no design expert, but I grew up in a house where I understood the yard needed to look decent, things had a place they belonged, and you cleaned up and made the place look great even if there was just company coming, let alone selling the house. I can only think that they grew up in a mess or have “learned helplessness” because nothing was really expected of them. I have seen people age 50 on here who really aren’t much better at this than they are.
@@tonibauer2949 Hi. I was taught by example. Every thing has a place and when not in use.... I grew up with great parents who taught me about cleaning, yardwork, gardening etc. My dad built an entire sun porch on the back part of our house. He built a little bridge over a creek in our back yard. Our house and yard were meticulous. My dad's nick name was Mr. Clean. Seriously.
The family who lived next door to us however, literally had a junk yard for a yard complete with large rodents. Their 2 children grew up in that mess, and are nice adults today. Their respective yards look like their parent's yard. Maybe the couple on that show are clueless due to how they were raised. They truly don't get it and I'm left scratching my head, but I can see how it could happen.
@@tammysims5164 yep, Tammy. I agree with what you said. I am not a naturally neat person, but I know how to clean and put things away when people are coming over. Especially those who might want to buy your house. And I love gardening. I have sometimes had my yard look like a showplace when inside was pretty messy, to be honest. But I don’t just let it go. I break down and clean, as little as I enjoy it.
“...lets go before they make us work”🙄 they really are lazy.
I can't believe that the first thing out of the wife's mouth when they were given the patio to clean up - which really wasn't THAT bad, was "Where do we begin?" How about picking up a broom, lady? Geez Louise! I can already see it coming. No matter how big a new house they move into, and what condition it's in, in a couple of months under this woman's "touch" it will be a wreck.
Bets on for divorce court.
They are slobs.
They seem very naive. I wonder if their mothers did all the cleaning for them? They just don’t have a clue how to clean and organize.
You might want to "begin" with putting on some appropriate work clothes.
And her amazement at how easy it is to put a frigging poster in a frigging frame!
Noticeable: not one single view of the kitchen.
Or bathrooms. Generally speaking, houses of this age and design have tiny rooms, especially kitchens and baths (unless they were renovated). This is what puts many buyers off.
I noticed that plus they didn’t show the third bedroom nor bathrooms.
@@marygreen3529 I found it odd to turn one bedroom into an office. I thought bedrooms sell. If a buyer sees an office then they will not see it as a bedroom and think the space is too small for a bedroom.
The kitchen is through the giant hole in the living room wall lol I was thinking the same, but I suppose they thought the patio & curb appeal needed more help than the kitchen...
@@chrissyb7916 I wonder if the home had 3 bedrooms... I'm thinking probably so bc I believe that was their daughter helping with the plant & he said at the end 'madden will love all this extra space'... I was curious after seeing the little girl lol
Gravel in the landscaping is a huge turnoff for me. It's almost as bad as when people cut down beautiful shade trees, and replace them with Sawgrass or palm trees.
Lady’s staring like she’s never seen someone put a photo in a frame before. That can’t be real, right?
I had the same thought. It seemed so scripted and staged. Everything she said sounded so rehearsed and unnatural. Acting is not her strong suit.
The secret is to invest a little, paint, declutter, landscape, organize and clean
Borrowed furniture from their Mother??!!!! How could that possibly be a good idea? They couldn't even sweep the patio? "Oh where do we begin?" These people are clueless. The front door alone makes it look like a condemned building. ugh!
Yes! It looked like a horror film stage . 😂 - And it is just unfathomable they would not ckean ! Just run to mummy and get her stuff. -Guess mum is organised and cleans and they wanted to "magically" transfer that?
You really think they are that dumb not to clean their house before a viewing??? It's obviously exaggerated for the show
Try thinking for yourself maybe
@@Te3time How exactly is it "obviously exaggerated"? My comment was exactly me thinking for myself. No need for you to try and insult my intelligence. Try getting some manners when engaging with others... "maybe"
The black trim on the exterior really UPPED the curb appeal. Great job all around
Viewing all of these episodes I find myself wondering how the owners can live in such absolute chaos. Will their new houses be any different? One can hope.
This HAS to be staged to look THIS bad!! When my husband, I and our 4 girls outgrew our 900 sf starter home, we deep cleaned, painted, decluttered, stored everything away and had our home sold in 24 hours..
Why do I get the feeling this family is staged for the TV show? I am not a pro at selling by any means, but to leave paint splotches on the walls, broken doors, and laundry out are three very big NO NOs. Then the furniture does not match anything else in the house.
Especially when there was no change in the arrangement of the laundry from the first walk through to the open house showing!!!
Blue armchairs? Armchair: a chair with sidepieces or arms to support a person's forearms or elbows. And yes, let's park the table and chairs in a place where you have to struggle to use the laundry closet.
Is their realtor that clueless, that she’d let them put this house on the market looking like such a mess? I’m starting to think these episodes are totally staged.
Or the realtors there are mostly incompetent.
I think it was "for sale by owner"
All these kind of shows are staged. At least in some context.
I'm thinking of moving and have been looking online for about a year. Trust me, there are tons of messy houses listed. You'd think the agent would say something, and perhaps they did, but owners are owners. I live in a college town where some of the stock is rented to students. I guess you can't make them clean up, even for a few pictures, but man, they look a mess.
Of course they are staged
7:14 What's with the loud background music? Don't you just love listening to someone while someone is playing a drum solo?
Sophie and the little girl are adorable.
The TV in the living room was unwatchable. The sofas faced each other far away from being able to actually watch
the TV. The white stones out front are definitely not a selling point. Dark bark would look better with the dark
porch posts and brick color.
I totally agree! Hate the white stones.
They should have put the TV in storage, or arranged the two small chairs to face the TV.
Whomever did the "landscaping" in the front yard should be whipped! The bed with the marble chips was crooked. That feature should have extended across the front of the house. The easiest FIX on the front of an older home is dig-out 8-12 inches on either side of the walk leading from the street to the front door, fill it with bark chips and bedding plants.
Hate the look of white marble chips. It's cold. Bark and bedding plants, yes!! And down the sidewalk, I agree.
And why dig up shrubs only to plant new shrubs right next to the foundation? Most of those shrubs just needed proper pruning and thinning.
The white beds robbed the color from the plants and made an actual house look like a trailer. Simply awful.
My house looks a bit like this on the outside-a 1961 ranch style, with those smaller horizontal windows. A mistake on this house was painting those windows with a black inner trim. It makes the windows look even smaller. We had followed this pattern from the previous homeowners and changed it about 3 years ago. It looks so much better! On small windows, you want them to look as large as possible and more "craftsman" like which means one color for the trim. That's too bad on their part.
Lol the way they just had shit shoved in the Fireplace?
Yeah, who hides their junk in the fireplace? Now if it was in a closet stuffed to the brim (like all of mine) that would make sense to me.
@@loisaustin6200 lm a well Decorated and Organized Hoarder! Lol
@@loisaustin6200 I kid you not, my in laws used theirs as storage. It was flipping bizarre...at least they covered it...
That lazy husband has probably never once cleaned the chimney. Probably the fireplace is unusable. He’s obviously never fixed a thing in that house!
I would have edged the walkway to the entrance to the house.
I'm amazed at how oblivious these home owners are to their own clutter and junk. That's why no one liked their house, it was a mess!
Too many people are like this. I've seen homes with every Lego toy insight paired with cat decor it was insane! Clean your home put some things in storage p even put it in your garage. Common sense 😁
They seemed slightly stupid.
At least pitch the laundry INSIDE the machine when you have an open house. And who throws crap into the fireplace?
Mostly young people I guess. I would not expect anything different from them by experience. Most of them are incredibly lazy.
Paint. The. Front. Door. Lazy. Clueless.
I am going to save $1000 on painting 4 doors with a roller. A painter told me how to do it at Sherwin Williams last week! I paint my doors white. I like white because of heat reflection.
White marble landscaping chips? NOOOOO!
Yikes!
Oh god, I hate those
I used to use those. They stay white for about 1 week. Now I just use pea gravel :)
Black mulch would have set everything off so much better.
Exactly! It's so cheap looking!
I very seldom read into anything on Unsellables, I just enjoy seeing what they can do with some of the challenges. Not everyone has skill when it comes to decorating (or housekeeping for that matter). However, this couple did seem to be unenthusiastic pre and post reno. "The Golden Girls" were however animated. I bet they jumped right on that sale. lol
I *DIED* inside when they attacked those innocent plants! They could have donated them to someone or planted them in a community garden
Fireplace needed 2 wingchairs flanking it, not 2 squatty chairs with cubes. They already had black outdoor furniture that was good, why buy all those outdoor chairs. The TV was in the corner and the couch `& chairs r not facing IT? Do you watch TV with your head turned sideways? Never put a invisible glass coffee table smack dab in the walkway of a living room, Ouch,, Someone will sue you when they fall into it.
the gravel in the front flower beds is so tacky
Cheap fix for a cheap house.
here's a hint on how to sell, clean the place
And don;t leave Paint swatches on the walls!
This couple have no idea what a clean home is!
They don’t need to sell, they need a designer. Their new house will be just as bizarre as this one. Design it, get a color palette and put a a substantial fence in the front yard to make it safe for children. I would buy it for $50.000 less and move the laundry room pronto. Can’t it be in the garage? They are showing this property like a distressed property. What was that mess in the fireplace? I wouldn’t even let my family see my house in that state, let alone potential buyers.
Agree, and a lot of homes in this area have laundries in the garage. I would not because one of the four snakebite deaths in Ga. was where a woman pulled clothes out of her outside dryer and a coral snake was in it.
White marble chips are a REAL temporary fix only...WON'T stop the weeds!
I'd say this is nothing but PURE LAZINESS on the part of the sellers!!! The fact that they didn't do BUPKUS to update the house before putting it on the market, just expected it to sell (why, because Savannah?) I know you tend to be "blind" to your own messes, but these seem like people who buy a house but know nothing about actually living in and _keeping_ a house neat, tidy, and liveable.
"Let's go before they make us work"... sums it just up perfectly. What a lazy couple they were.
That’s exactly what I thought!!
This episode is the one that screams... we stage these houses to look trashed out. This went beyond ridiculous.
Love the back patio! The buds lamp is a turnoff!
Declutering is crucial for a house to sell, keeping it clean is a must, well maintained patios are a plus, basic Info for sellers. If you don't like it, no one else will like it either.
I seriously don’t understand the tv placement in the “finished” version. How do you even sit to watch it without any furniture facing that direction? Would be better just to design a good looking living room that doesn’t have a tv at all
I agree, having a clean home is important, but putting the tv there draws attention to the layout problems of the house.
The new look isn't too much an improvement, it seems to be all over the place. Saw a few houses, mostly liked them, but this one just doesn't cut it
I watched one of these shows, it was from 2008, I wonder if they all are from that era? Every episode they build that huge wall shelf
I don't know which is more pathetic (even though I know this is from 2009, and everything is different now)--that young woman's "fashion" sense (she looked like a 25 year old pudgy Mom trying to dress like a tiny 15 year old ingenue), or the fact that neither of them had a clue that the house was a mess.
And REALLY?? A 1,600 square foot house "isn't large enough" to raise another kid in???? My three siblings, my parents, two foster kids, and at least two dogs at a time all lived in a 1,312 square foot house, and we never thought of it as being "too small" for all of us!
The second bedroom was converted to an office? Sophie said in other episodes, if you are marketing a three bedroom house for sale, you have to showcase three bedrooms. They could have used the area by the fireplace, as the office.
There’s that “green” again🤦🏼♀️
Except for bringing back that lost green decade😄, it turned out great👍🏻💞
And the dragonflies on the wall!
Absolutely love the mid-century look of the house from the outside. Really stylish.
Not care for plant choice in front or the white chips. Inside look nice but could of dressed up fireplace area more. Some of these changes seem obvious but I guess not for them. Over all I like it. Hope they got what they wanted in price and new home.
She dresses herself just like she manages her home!
First thing to go: the realtor’s necklace.
The necklace was gaudy.
I cannot believe that the owners let their house go to pot like that, much less expect others to be attracted to it in that condition. The least they could have done is give it the licks of paint it desperately needed & sweep the patio. The curb appeal before was non-existent. I wonder what it looked like when they purchased it?
It seems to me that the budget was wasted on lots of patio furniture, dragonflies on the wall and lots of plants and flowers in the yard.
I never knew that finding pictures magically “blowing them up” running for picture frames and Matts to match in size , constructing them and hanging them is sooooo eassssssy. These people can’t even fix a closet door 🤦♀️
The new furniture looks suitable for a kindergarten classroom it’s so small! Love the way she says “ added a couple blue armchairs “ : anyone notice there are no arms on the chairs ? It looks horrible !! The furniture looks so cheap and tiny !!! It shows how small the rooms are since the scale of the furniture is so teeny small !
@Tina Shoemaker right ? Who do they think they are kidding ? Tear it down. Lol
I hate the white marble chips used as ground cover in the front of the house. I would have used wood mulch or lava rock. The white looked cheap.
5:22. What's the best way to seek advice on selling your home? Bring in a gaggle of Karen's, of course. 🤔
The white capri pants brigade 🤣
@@Hollysays I noticed they were wearing the same pants, and the same Tshirt in three colors.
I love this house 👍🏻 very retro exterior ❤️ and what a lovely location . Even with their taste and clutter it’s hard to believe buyers couldn’t see past it !! I’d have bought this place anyway for the asking price .
Buyers can never see past anything. It's mind-boggling. Whenever these types of videos show the potential buyers walking through, they're always looking at and commenting on the furniture and decor. That stuff does not come with the house!
Look at the flooring! The size of the rooms & closets! Look for cracks in the walls & ceilings! What condition are the windows in? Does anything need repairing? Is there any mold anywhere? These are some of the things I look at. I don't care what the seller's taste in furniture and decor looks like, as long as they haven't done something weird that I have to fix, like paint all the walls black. I'm beginning to think most home-buyers are brainless. No wonder they need a real estate agent.
@@JamieM470 Exactly.
The birds on the doors in the bedroom??? Looks old lady!! The outside looks spectacular!
I am thankful that Sophies Team refrained from putting wallpaper into picture frames yet again🎉
It’s called maintenance. Has nothing to do with staging. The comp house wasn’t a comparison either. Other than it was a three bedroom ranch.
Absolutely beautiful...my favourite yet! I just don't understand however.....how people live like that and then wonder why their home doesn't sell.
The front looks great. The lounge furniture, specifically the chairs, should have been positioned differently, one on each end of the coffee table... it looks like a tunnel , just a passageway to another room.
That way, the natural pathway would be where the chairs are now sitting. Makes more sense.
No No No to the landscape design.
I like the minature shrubbery, but then they put it mini trees which look like they will eventually envelope the house. The few mini shrubs would have sufficed
I hate that cheap looking white rock!
I think they should've worked on fixing the brown spots in the lawn, and have fewer of the white caladium plants in the flower beds (they look like someone threw crumpled pieces of white paper in the flower beds).
OMG - Like the people who came to the first open house, I can't believe they put this house up for sale in this condition. Decluttering should always be the first step, then the rest of the steps follow.
i love sophie.
Telling a two year old, "Just make a dig well in the middle." 😅😂🤣😂😂
Oh, little children love gardening, they just have a different wise to do it.
More than just fixing things up for a new buyer, I am struck by how sad it is that people live with their own lack of décor and tidiness. They always really like the sample homes, and don't seem to realize until they are pushed, that what they already have could be just as nice with just a little effort and imagination!
What do I think about the "new improved" décor? Horrible. I hate the new front (although the new front door is an improvement.) I hate the new living room. I would take one look and say, "I'll have to change this, and this, and this, and this." What was good about the new? The louvered doors to the washer and drier. The rest is awful!
If Sophie can't paint the walls that poison green, you'll still get it in the furniture and accessories!
1600 SF, 3 bedroom, 2 bath
Owner: "We're talking about expanding the family and we're a little short on space here."
Really? I raised 4 kids in the same size home. Hopefully they took better care of their second home.
Whew chile they did a good job!!!❤❤❤
Here come the white capris!
Love the heritage cemeteries and architecture in Savanah
why are they destroying those plants in the front?
The main thing is not the curb appeal, it’s the overwhelming furniture and no cohesive between any of the rooms. Also, seems a lot of buyers have no imagination and can’t see beyond the current owners design choices, or lack there of.
I really liked the makeover. It was cute and young and funky!
Good show
Again with the green geeeezeee
I think my kitchen and bedroom are selling points. I want realtor to walk in first thing and say, this is lovely what you'll need to do paint maybe a little darker here why don't we bump up the closet, you have lovely built-in, putting new carpet. Give suggestion don't walk in complaining that a hundred year old house has a loose floorboard.
These are wonderfully done. Improvements are logical and reasonable in cost, excellent all around,
I could do without the drum practice in my earbud though.
They are clueless. What a mess! I have used marble chips and they make such a big impact.
Who cleans up outdoor spaces in a miniskirt and heels???
Word to the wise: marble chips WILL NOT keep weeds down and act as mulch. You want to block weeds? FIRST, clear the weeds out, THEN put down weed-blocking fabric and a heavy layer of mulch (which you'll top up every year) - and don't count on it for miracles. Some weeds will still get through eventually. Once you've done that work, you just pull weeds as soon as you see 'em. If you do a little bit every few days, you'll keep on top of it easily. Minutes here and there will be enough if you're consistent, and don't let it go.
Marble chips are for decoration, and nothing more. I've got a DEEP bed of it in a utility area, left by a previous owner 21 years ago. Nutsedge and bermuda grass comes through it without breaking a sweat.
Does the host know nothing about furniture placement? Honestly the living room and dining room just needed cleaning up and looked better before. The owners already had decent patio furniture so more money was wasted on that silly vignette. This house needed nothing more than repairs and a lick of paint.
Yes, SO much money wasted on tiny pieces of VERY uncomfortable-looking furniture.
They seem clueless or careless about cleaning and decorating.
Agreed, almost every episode she makes horrible decor choices for the redo
I believe they were just going for making the elongated space appear larger to buyers, definitely not functional since the t.v. is wayyyy over in the corner now and their DVD player, game, radio is all gone lol
@@vaderladyl you nailed it with the words clueless & careless. It's almost as if someone let children in there & they tried to give their imitation of what they think adults do.
The exterior looks great, but I think Sophie is losing her designer edge. Way to much green in the decorations and window treatments. The last few episodes are showing a definite decline in design. And really, a fern in the fireplace?
Danny Bowden I agree, too much green. When we get ready to sell this house we'll paint everything ivory and let the new owners decide their own paint colors. Neutral sells.
Agree she’s lost her edge. And she looks like shit.
@@MsLouisVee she'd just had a double mastectomy!
Green is a young, fresh color.
I grew up in Savannah oops I mean "Slovannah" and the majority of the homes have overgrown bushes and shrubs or just too much, the outside is typical because of plant growth, sun and rain, no matter what the price of the home.
Sophie, where did your lovely English accent go in this episode? No need to hide it because you're filming in the US. This Canadian loves your English accent and is so happy you don't try to tone down your accent when you film here in Canada.
It is odd. Couples have undesirable houses made so by their own bad taste and neglect. The remodel/staging makes their house look fabulous, then theses same people move into another house and will most likely turn it into something resembling their old house. I feel sad for them.
We have done a lot of things....NOT! Seriously?? Paint swatches on the wall, broken and missing doors? They seem lazy and clueless.
She looked really keen to get to work strutting around the yard in backless heeled shoes and a mini dress. When sent outside to the patio she whines "Where do we starrrrrrt?????" How about with putting the brain into gear and looking as if you want to achieve something........ like selling your house hun!
How can homeowners be so lazy and dirty?
you cannot breed like rabbits AND have time to clean
Yes
Seems like a lot of house and land for the money. That couple are clueless. The remedies are all so obvious.
Better have nothing in house than to have to much. We are a retired military family and when house hunting in a new place, I hated looking at buy houses, in fact the last 3 we bought, were practically empty when we looked at them. I can't take busy cluttered homes, it messes with my since direction in a home, usually I won't even finish the tour of the home, I just have to get out of it.
So many decorative items it's very hard to maintain to clean
These two act like they’ve never seen a staged house in their lives.😂
Liked the transformation but green carpet and blue chairs?
You’re not buying the chairs, so don’t worry about the irrelevant crap.
Thank you! I couldn't believe that color combo! 🙄 Lol 🤢
Girlfriend is more worried about looking cute than selling the house.
I can't understand why she was allowed to wear....well, her choice in clothing pretty much matched her choices in the decor of her home.
