I love that people invite the show into their home because it won’t sell; then get upset when suggestions are made on fixing it & cop a bit of an attitude.

This was one of the best transformations. Victoria really made the most of this house!

I’m feeling exactly that feeling. We’ve spent months decluttering and buckets of money updating, fixing and repairing our home for sale, and feel sad we won’t be enjoying it into the future. It is sure to sell quickly when it hits the market, so even our last days here with new countertops and fresh paint are numbered.😢

Have watched a lot of these shows and it always amazes me that sellers can't see what needs to be fixed in their homes. 🤦😳

Honestly the plants in the living room looked better before just needed to be spread out more.

I can't get over how much the price of homes jumped since these were produced. That house would be more than double the asking now. Crazy.

That is the ultimate plan, train people to expect move in perfect homes and pay for it with a 30yr loan - the banks must love this show.

The pastor seems kind. Besides funding, maybe she didn't want to change the home since it reminds her of her mom. That would break my heart.

Great show. Keep loading new episodes, please!

It is ghastly how people don't want to put the work in.

The only other thing I would have been tempted to do is open a door between dining room and the extension. Because there had been a window in that wall, the required header and Jack studs would already be in place. Let the dining room borrow light from the family room.

Other than the kitchen looking more like a bathroom, good job!

Beautiful family.

@ the room with a fireplace, a high table behind the couch would make it look better, & not so bland looking, & use that odd couch/chair that's in the living room, in the corner, as a reading area, where the plants are. Id turn the kitchen table around the other way, it looks too small they way it is. The flow & colours are good

Anybody else just watch because Anthony’s hot?

I guess I don’t understand why people are still living with all their stuff out while trying to sell. I always assumed that people with showings going on would be living in a constantly “staged” scenario where you don’t keep all your stuff out.

I just hate sloppy paint jobs.

21:01 The tap is definitely NOT supposed to do THAT. It's still broken. It wouldn't have cost much to replace it. By today's standards, the upgrades here were super cheap and looked it. They could've replaced the kitchen cupboard doors and, given its small size, put a decent, quartz countertop in instead of that cheap looking particle board formica one. OTOH, this house would go for 1.5 million in today's frenzied market.

This poor lady was delusional if she cldnt see the huge diff between the two houses And she didn't like to be told

glad I don't live in Toronto... those prices, I could buy a mansion where I live

geographical distancing is not a cure

She was a bit delusional about the issues in her own home. A bit defensive. Makes it hard for any changes to happen.

I have to laugh at all the posing, posturing and sitting around (whilst pretending to do some work) Sofie does. Usually hanging on a bathroom vanity, sitting on a couch wearing shoes, and/or prancing about. She does know her selling points and decor improvement; however, the "prancing" gets a little old. Plus, some of the "improvements" are what people with halfway intelligence can figure out -- especially with a rotten sink surround, rotten baseboards and clashing paint jobs.

The seller is clueless....& color blind!

Wow, that first other house she showed her was terribly furnished, the decor awful and dated, and the layout not nearly as nice as her own home. No wonder she couldn't see much improvement between her house and the one she was shown. The 2nd sample house was much better.

OMG those vertical blinds🤢
