Property Brothers: Buying & Selling Season 2 Episode 2 Laurie & John

In the second episode of season 2 of Buying and Selling, the Property Brothers help out a couple named Laurie and John who are looking to sell their current house and buy a new one that is fit for their growing family.

The episode starts off with the Property Brothers, Drew and Jonathan, visiting Laurie and John's current house to assess what needs to be done in order to prepare it for sale. They quickly realize that the house is outdated and in need of a major overhaul, but the couple doesn't have the budget for extensive renovations.

Instead, Drew and Jonathan come up with a plan to make cosmetic changes that will make the house more marketable without breaking the bank. They suggest repainting the walls, decluttering and organizing the interior, and adding some modern furnishings to showcase the potential of the space. The brothers also work on improving the curb appeal of the house by doing some landscaping and adding a new garage door.

Once the house is ready for sale, the Property Brothers turn their attention to finding a new home for Laurie and John that meets their specific needs. With a budget of $635,000, the couple wants a spacious house with a backyard for their kids to play in and a guest room for their out-of-town family and friends. They also prioritize a location that is close to their children's school and their friends and family.

Drew takes Laurie and John on a tour of three different properties that meet their criteria. The first house, located in a desirable neighborhood, is spacious and has a large backyard. However, it's slightly overbudget and needs some work, which means that the couple would have to make some compromises in terms of their wish list.

The second house, located closer to Laurie and John's school and friends, is also spacious and has a guest room, but the backyard is smaller than they would like. The brothers suggest adding a deck and some landscaping to make the most of the space.

The third house, located in a up-and-coming neighborhood, is just under budget and checks all the boxes on Laurie and John's wish list. It has a large backyard, a guest room, and is located close to their school and friends. The only problem is that it needs some minor cosmetic updates.

After weighing their options, Laurie and John decide to put in an offer on the third house. Drew and Jonathan help them negotiate a fair price and work with them to come up with a renovation plan that will update the house to their liking.

Once the deal is closed, the Property Brothers get to work on renovating the house to make it fit the couple's needs. They create an open-concept living area, update the bathrooms, and create a custom playroom for the kids. The brothers also add a deck and some landscaping to the backyard, creating a space that is perfect for playing, relaxing, and entertaining.

The episode ends with Laurie and John being amazed at the transformation of their new home. They thank Drew and Jonathan for their hard work and dedication to making their dream home a reality.
