A Broken Sink! | Unsellables FULL Episode | Pastor Andrea
Pastor Andrea doesn’t know why her four-bedroom brick home isn’t selling...And she’s worried because after five weeks, she hasn’t received a single offer. The conveniently located, family-friendly home is priced right…But Sofie thinks the crowded décor, amateur paint job, and rotting kitchen sink are giving potential buyers the wrong impression. The house doesn’t need a major overhaul, she says, just a simple makeover to get the listing up to viewing standard.
In order to target the home to a growing family, Sofie devises a $3,100 plan to de-clutter the house, freshen up the kitchen, and give the main floor a lived-in, sellable look. Andrea says she’s ready for a fresh start…But can Sofie convince her to let go of her nostalgia? While Anthony and the team work their magic on the interiors, Andrea gets a crash course in real estate do’s and don’ts…And once she starts seeing results, Andrea is motivated to pull out all the stops. It’s hard work…But will the project pay off in the end?

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 can't get enough of this show. Sofie is the best!!!

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.
This was a very spacious home.

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!

When comparable houses in the area are selling at or above asking in a matter of days, 5 weeks without an offer is a very long time. I sold a house in The Junction about 12 years ago. It needed work. A 1,000 square foot semi. It sold in 9 days.

Agreed... I don’t like it either. It’s not really “neutral,” it kind of locks the new owner into something with green, or having to paint again. That’s just me...never loved green except as an accent on pillows, etc.
Andrea is so funny haha! I really enjoyed this episode
I would prefer any light shade of blue, teal, purple, even pink or yellow to that green shade she’s always using.. I know this was probably a decade or two ago, but it’s just so nasty 😭

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🤢
