We bought our new home on Tuesday, put our house up for sale Thursday night and sold it for $36,000 over asking on Monday. We listened to our real estate agent and rented a locker and majorly decluttered. We were looking for 6 months, before we got our new home and our home was ready to go on the market immediately. Listen to your real estate agent people!!

You can tell Sofie had to tone down or sugar coat what she was telling the homeowner when they were sitting together, it seemed so awkwardly tense and she had to literally explain to her that her personal choices for the home weren't bad but they needed to be more buyer friendly.

Remind this seller she is leaving this home. She can use whatever she wants in the new home. Colors have to be neutral. She has too much "stuff". The children need to cooperate with the new rules of keeping a tidy home so they can move to the new one.

Yes. She needs to disconnect herself from this home. What she likes does not matter. It's what will the "Potential Buyer" think. She acted pretty snotty for a while there. Really negative too with the " I don't think it will be ready" comments. I didn't like her attitude.

The homeowner seemed to be unappreciative and even resentful of the expert advice and the effort it took to bring her home to market.

Great job as usual...but if I looked at this home, the first thing I'd notice would be...not enough closet space in the master bedroom...I'd be thinking about an amoire, just like the one they removed.

come on sofie this green is a lot better than some of the green you picked, just it should not be so much green all over the walls

I think they had to put a "closet" in the room to be able to call it a bedroom. In some places you cannot call a room a "bedroom" if it does not have a built-in closet and a usable egress to outside.

I’d like a porch swing and remove the wall to the kitchen. I think I’d also want to paint the backsplash and add a new kitchen countertop. I think in the US the basement windows have to be large enough to climb out of, the trim without the window would not be allowed

Clean it all out NOW

@@MK-hh1vo, this is one of the original shows from around 2007-2008 when the real estate market crashed big time in the United States and also somewhat affected real estate markets in Canada and the UK, all of which are featured in old "Unsellables" episodes. Abode "cheats" by not showing the DATE OF ORIGINAL PRODUCTION of the episodes they're passing off now as "timely." The advice is good overall, of course, but a lot of the changes that are made must be taken in the context of what the market was like at the time the episode was actually filmed, and has nothing to do with the once again exploding market for single family homes in 2021.
