The couple is accompanied by their real estate agent, who takes them on a tour of three homes that fit their criteria. The first home is a classic 1920s craftsman bungalow that has been renovated with modern amenities, but still retains its original charm.

The second home is a 1930s Spanish-style home that has not been updated in decades. The couple immediately falls in love with the home's vintage charm and potential for renovation, but are also concerned about the amount of work needed to bring the home up to date.

Finally, the couple visits a 1920s Tudor-style home that has been partially renovated by the current owner. Despite the home's partially renovated state, the couple is drawn to it because of its unique vintage details, such as original light fixtures and hardwood floors.

After seeing all three homes, the couple ultimately decides to put an offer on the 1930s Spanish-style home. They are excited about the prospect of putting their own personal touches on the vintage property, but also know that they will face some vintage problems during the renovation process.
