Kristin & Craig are a couple looking to make a big move for their growing family. They're running out of space in their current home, and they want to find something that's a better fit. They've enlisted the help of property expert Jonathan Scott to help them find their dream home, and they're hoping to get a good deal on their current property so they'll have the funds they need to make a move.
The episode opens with Jonathan meeting with Kristin and Craig to take a tour of their current home. It's a cozy space, but it's clear that they're running out of room. Jonathan takes notes as he walks through the house, taking note of any problem areas that need to be addressed before they put the home on the market.
Next, Jonathan takes Kristin and Craig to tour a few potential new homes. They're looking for something with more space, but they also want to stay in the same school district. Jonathan takes them to three different properties, each with unique features and potential drawbacks. Kristin and Craig are impressed by some of the homes, but they're also concerned about the location of a few of them. They're not sure they're willing to compromise on the school district.
Back at their current home, Jonathan starts making some small changes to help the property look more appealing to potential buyers. He replaces the outdated light fixtures and adds a fresh coat of paint to the walls. He also helps Kristin and Craig declutter and stage the home, making it feel more inviting.
As they move closer to putting the home on the market, Kristin and Craig become more anxious about finding the right new property. They're not finding anything that feels quite right, and they're worried they won't be able to find something in their budget that meets all of their needs.
Finally, Jonathan takes them to a property that they both fall in love with. It has plenty of room for their family to grow, and it's in their desired school district. The only drawback is that it's at the top of their budget. Jonathan advises them to make an offer anyway, and to be willing to negotiate. They take his advice, and after a tense negotiation, they're able to reach a deal that works for both parties.
With the new property secured, Jonathan works quickly to get their old home on the market. It's a hot property, and within just a few days they're receiving multiple offers. They ultimately sell the home for more than they were asking, giving them the wiggle room they needed for their new property.
As the episode comes to a close, Kristin and Craig are happily settled into their new home. They acknowledge that it was a lot of hard work, but they're thrilled with the end result. Jonathan reminds them that buying and selling a home is always a risk, but that with the right help and planning, it can be a rewarding experience.
