Ep 8. Shane & Sydney

Shane and Sydney are a couple who have outgrown their small starter home and are looking to upgrade to a larger property that can accommodate their growing family. The couple have a four-year-old daughter and another baby on the way, and their current home is simply too small to house everyone comfortably.

In episode 8 of season 1 of 'Buying and Selling', Drew and Jonathan Scott take on the challenge of helping Shane and Sydney find their dream home while also managing to make a profit by renovating and selling their current property.

Shane and Sydney have a budget of $700,000 to work with, and they are looking for a home with at least four bedrooms, a large backyard, and plenty of space for their children to play and grow. The couple's wish list is extensive, and it will take some creative problem-solving for Drew and Jonathan to find the perfect property within their budget.

The episode begins with Shane and Sydney touring a few properties with Drew and Jonathan to get a sense of what's available within their budget. The couple is eager to find a home that meets all of their needs, but they quickly realize that they may need to make some compromises along the way.

Drew and Jonathan offer some creative solutions to help Shane and Sydney achieve their dream home while still staying within budget. For example, they suggest renovating an unfinished attic space to create an additional bedroom and play area for the kids. They also suggest looking for a property that has a large lot with room to add a granny flat or additional living space in the future.

After several weeks of searching for the perfect property, Shane and Sydney finally find a home that meets all of their criteria. The property is located in a great neighborhood, has four bedrooms, a large backyard, and plenty of space for their growing family. The home also has some great potential for renovation, which Drew and Jonathan are excited to take on.

Meanwhile, back at Shane and Sydney's current home, Drew and Jonathan have their work cut out for them. The home is small, outdated, and in need of some serious renovation. Drew and Jonathan decide to focus on several key areas of the home, such as the kitchen and the main living area, to help make the property more attractive to potential buyers.

Throughout the episode, Drew and Jonathan work tirelessly to renovate and sell Shane and Sydney's current home while also helping the couple find their dream home. There are some unexpected setbacks along the way, such as a surprise mold issue, but Drew and Jonathan are able to overcome these obstacles and help Shane and Sydney achieve their dream of owning a larger, more comfortable home.

In the end, Shane and Sydney are thrilled with their new home and grateful for the work that Drew and Jonathan put into helping them make their dream a reality. The couple is delighted with the new space for their growing family and excited to start the next chapter of their lives.
