Property Brothers: Buying & Selling Season 1 Episode 2 Julie and Blake

Julie and Blake are a couple in desperate need of more space in their house. They have two young children and Blake runs a small business from home, which means they need a designated workspace in addition to their living areas. They also need more room for storage, as their current home is cluttered and disorganized.

Enter Jonathan and Drew Scott, the twin brothers who host the popular home renovation show "Buying and Selling." The first step in their process is to help Julie and Blake find a new home that better meets their needs. They start by touring a couple of properties that are in their price range and in the neighborhoods they are interested in. The first home they look at is spacious and modern, but also needs a lot of work. The second home is a bit smaller but has a more traditional layout and is move-in ready. Both homes have potential, but Jonathan and Drew help Julie and Blake weigh the pros and cons of each and ultimately decide on which one to make an offer on.

It's then time for the Scott brothers to work their magic on the couple's current home. They start by decluttering and depersonalizing the space, which means removing all of the family's personal items and any furniture that isn't necessary. This helps potential buyers see the space as a blank slate and imagine their own belongings there. Jonathan and his team then tackle some of the more pressing repairs, such as fixing a leaky roof and repairing damaged drywall. They also give the home a fresh coat of paint and replace any outdated fixtures.

Meanwhile, Drew works with Julie and Blake to stage the home in a way that will appeal to a wide range of buyers. They bring in some new furniture and accessories to freshen up the space and create a more cohesive look. Drew also helps the couple come up with a strategy for organizing their new, clutter-free home.

As the renovation work finishes up, Julie and Blake prepare to put their current home on the market. They are impressed with how much better the space looks and feel optimistic about finding a buyer quickly. When the open house rolls around, there is a steady stream of potential buyers, but many of them are hesitant about the home's location. Jonathan and Drew work with Julie and Blake to come up with a marketing strategy that emphasizes the home's positive features, such as its proximity to amenities and schools.

In the end, Julie and Blake are able to sell their home for the price they were hoping for and move into their new, more spacious property. They're thrilled with how the renovation work turned out and feel like they have plenty of room to grow as a family and business owners. Jonathan and Drew once again work their magic and help another couple achieve their dream of a perfect home.
