Sell This House is a reality television show that follows homeowners who are struggling to sell their homes. In each episode, a team of experts helps prepare the home for sale by offering advice on everything from decluttering to staging to landscaping. Season 2, episode 17, titled "Seattle, WA - Jonathan Franklin" follows the story of a couple trying to sell their home in Seattle.
In this episode, the homeowners, Jonathan and his wife, have been trying to sell their home for over a year with no luck. They purchased the property ten years ago, with the intention of renovating it and turning it into a rental property. However, after a few years of renting it out, they decided to move back into the home and make it their primary residence.
The house has been on the market for over a year, and they have received no offers. They are frustrated, confused, and starting to lose hope. They reach out to the Sell This House team in hopes of getting expert advice and guidance on how to prepare their home for the market.
The team of experts includes Roger, an interior designer, Tanya, a home stager, and Charlie, a landscape expert. They begin by walking through the house and offering their initial impressions. They note that the home has a lot of potential, but also some significant flaws that need to be addressed.
The house is cluttered and cramped, with too much furniture and personal items. Roger suggests that they need to declutter and simplify the space to make it more appealing to potential buyers. He also recommends painting the walls neutral colors to create a more calming and inviting environment.
Tanya focuses on staging the home to make it more visually appealing. She suggests removing some of the furniture to create more open space, adding some decorative touches, and strategically placing furniture to highlight the home's best features.
Charlie addresses the home's exterior, which is overgrown and in need of some serious TLC. He suggests trimming back the overgrown shrubs and trees, planting some colorful flowers, and repainting the front door to create a more welcoming entrance.
Over the course of several days, the team works tirelessly to transform the home and make it more attractive to potential buyers. They paint the walls, remove clutter, rearrange furniture, stage each room, and revamp the landscaping.
When the transformation is complete, Jonathan and his wife are amazed at the results. They can hardly believe that the home they have been living in for the past ten years could look so different. They feel more confident than ever that the changes they have made will help the home sell quickly.
Sell This House is a show that offers viewers an inside look at the world of home selling. Each episode is unique, with different homeowners, experts, and challenges to overcome. It's a must-see for anyone who is thinking about selling their home or just interested in real estate.
