- September 24, 2014
Ken and Laura need the help of renovation and real estate experts, Drew and Jonathan Scott, in order to sell their outdated home and find a new one that suits their family's needs. The couple has lived in their house for many years and have raised their children there, but now they feel it's time for a change. Laura, a real estate agent, knows how important it is to make the right changes to a home in order to attract buyers, but when it comes to her own house, she's not sure where to start.
In this episode, Drew and Jonathan work closely with Ken and Laura to help them make their home more open and modern, while also maximizing its potential for resale value. They begin by decluttering and rearranging the furniture to make the rooms appear larger and more inviting. Drew and Jonathan also give the home's exterior a fresh coat of paint and update the landscaping to boost its curb appeal.
Next, the brothers turn their attention to the kitchen, which is outdated and cramped. Drew and Jonathan offer suggestions to open up the space and give it a more modern look, and Laura is excited to see the transformation taking place. With these changes, the kitchen becomes a focal point of the house and an excellent selling feature.
Throughout the renovation process, the team encounters multiple challenges, including unexpected structural issues and problems with the HVAC system. But with their experience and ingenuity, Drew and Jonathan are able to overcome these obstacles and keep the project on track.
Meanwhile, Laura searches for a new home that can meet the needs of her growing family. She finds a property that she loves, but it needs a lot of work. Drew and Jonathan visit the new house with Laura to evaluate its potential and offer their expert opinions. They determine that the house is a good investment, and that the renovation will add significant value.
As the renovation of their old home nears completion, Ken and Laura begin to pack up their belongings and prepare for the move. When the brothers unveil the newly updated house, they can hardly believe the transformation. The updated spaces are bright and open, and the new features add value and functionality. The house now feels like new, and they're excited to put it on the market.
Meanwhile, the renovation of the new home is well underway. Drew and Jonathan work closely with Laura to ensure that everything is done to her satisfaction. They install new windows, reconfigure the floor plan, and add stylish finishes that will appeal to buyers.
When the renovation of the new home is complete, Laura is thrilled with the results. The house is now spacious and modern, with plenty of room for her family to grow. With the help of Drew and Jonathan, she's confident that the property will sell quickly and for a good price.
In the end, Ken and Laura decide to list their old home and sell it. The staging and updates have paid off – they receive multiple offers within days of the listing going live. With the sale of their old home secured, Ken and Laura move into their new property, which they're excited to make their own.
