In this episode of House Hunters International, a couple from the United States travels to Gouda, Holland to find their dream home. The couple, Maria and Jesse, are moving to Holland for Jesse's new job and are excited to begin this new chapter in their lives.
The episode begins with Maria and Jesse meeting their real estate agent, Rene, for the first time. Rene is originally from South Africa but has been living and working in Gouda for many years. He is excited to show the couple around the city and help them find their perfect home.
The first property they visit is a spacious two-bedroom apartment in the heart of the city. The apartment has high ceilings and large windows that let in plenty of natural light. Maria and Jesse are impressed with the apartment's location and modern features, but are concerned about the lack of outdoor space.
The next property they visit is a charming townhouse on a quiet street just outside the city center. The townhouse has three bedrooms and a small backyard with a patio area. Maria and Jesse love the character and charm of the townhouse but are worried about the distance from Jesse's new job.
Rene takes them to a modern apartment complex on the outskirts of the city for their third property viewing. The complex has a communal garden and fitness center, and the apartment itself has two bedrooms and a balcony with a view of the countryside. Maria and Jesse are impressed with the amenities but are unsure if suburban living is right for them.
The following day, Rene takes the couple to see a spacious four-bedroom family home in a quiet residential neighborhood. The house has a large backyard and a separate guesthouse that could be used as a home office or rental property. Maria and Jesse love the idea of having extra space for visiting family and friends, but are concerned about the upkeep of such a large property.
After seeing several properties, Maria and Jesse sit down with Rene to discuss their options. They narrow their choices down to the townhouse and the family home. Ultimately, they decide to make an offer on the family home and are thrilled when their offer is accepted.
The episode ends with Maria and Jesse settling into their new home in Gouda and exploring all the city has to offer. They are excited to start their new lives in Holland and are grateful for the help of their real estate agent, Rene.
