Sell This House Season 1 Episode 1 Kirkland, WA - Zach & Secunda Rogers
- July 6, 2003
Sell This House season 1 episode 1 takes place in Kirkland, WA, where homeowners Zach and Secunda Rogers are in desperate need of selling their house. The episode kicks off with the host, Roger Hazard, and his team arriving at the Rogers' house. The exterior of the house is very uninviting and old-fashioned, with an outdated color scheme and overgrown landscaping.
When the team goes inside, they find that the interior of the house is just as poorly decorated as the exterior. The wallpaper is peeling in places, the walls are painted in bright, unappealing colors, and there are old, dusty furniture and knick-knacks cluttering the rooms. In addition to all of this, the Rogers' have a lot of stuff that they haven't gotten rid of, adding to the clutter and making it tough for potential buyers to envision themselves living in the space.
Despite their best efforts to clean the house up, Zach and Secunda can't seem to make it appealing to buyers. This is where Roger and his team come in. They begin assessing the house and figuring out what needs to be done to make it sellable. They start by de-cluttering and deep cleaning the space. They get rid of all of the unnecessary knick-knacks and furniture, giving the house a more open, spacious feel.
Next, the team begins making aesthetic updates to the property. They replace the outdated wallpaper with a more neutral color scheme, which helps to brighten up the rooms and make them seem more contemporary. They also add in updated light fixtures, removing some of the old-fashioned ones that were adding to the dated feel of the house.
One of the most important things that the team did was create a focal point in every room. By doing this, they make the space feel like it has a purpose and make it more visually appealing to potential buyers. They also add in some greenery and floral decor, which helps to give the house a warm, inviting feel.
The team also makes some important updates to the exterior of the house. They replace the overgrown, unappealing landscaping with fresh, new bursts of color. They also pressure wash the exterior, removing the dull and dirty appearance of the house.
Throughout the episode, we get to see Zach and Secunda watching as the team transforms their house. They are in awe of the way that the team was able to make the space so much more appealing and seem much larger than it did before. When the transformation is complete, they are thrilled with the results.
In the end, the house sells quickly and at a great price, which is a testament to the work that Roger and his team did to make it more appealing to buyers. The episode serves as a reminder that, sometimes, all it takes is a few updates and a little bit of creativity to transform a space and make it sellable.
