- About to adopt their first child, Rob and Marcio want to trade in their two-bedroom detached home for a more family-friendly dwelling. But after a month on the market, they’re worried the property might not sell at all. Sofie says the nearby beach and trendy neighborhood are major pluses…But the home’s clutter, unsexy master bedroom, and oddball design features are a major turnoff.
In order to market the home to first-time buyers and urban professionals, Sofie comes up with a $4,500 plan to modernize the interiors and create a cohesive, turnkey design. After some coaching, Rob and Marcio begin to see things from a buyer’s perspective. And while Anthony and the team neutralize the paint colors and create ‘flow’, Sofie teaches the couple the finer points of making the sale.

#Unsellables
i LIKE the 'rainforest' in the kitchen, pre makeover
Me, too. I didn't love the black counters but the floor and the plants gave it a wonderful natural vibe that continues out into the back yard.
Me too , it was refreshing!
I LOVED all the plants they had it made the home feel like an Oasis 💕🥰🔥
Me too
I didn’t like it I only have fake plants in my house and only if you otherwise I don’t like them
I can't stop watching these videos. It seems there is nothing Anthony cannot fix and solve. Wow.
Wow such a sweet couple. So happy for them for their new family!!!!
I adored the rainforest in the kitchen! Fresh, welcoming and healthy 😍 The skylight hack was awesome!! I really loved the yellow/green colour outside the front door and glad they left that alone. The garden front and back was gorgeous! And the impression of a hallway was excellent. Really loved this improvement - apart from the plants being removed! 😊
I’m kind of shocked that backyard didn’t sell it as was.
Do not focus in on the plants like they are a giant spider! 😂 Theseplants totally upgrade the kitchen!
Thank you, the house is CLEAN! While the decor may not be to everyone's liking, showing a clean home really goes a long way in impressing potential buyers.
I really like that house. I would have bought it as was and made it my own. And I actually liked the black in the kitchen! And I love the cottage style garden! ♥
I loved everything about the kitchen - the black paint, floor, plants, skylight & sliding doors - it looked amazing 🤩🥰
The "example house " almost made me throw up!
One look and i would run for the woods!
I feel the same, I loved the pre kitchen plants 🌱. What an amazing transformation and a beautiful well matured garden. X
Wow. Well done. If it were me, I would have changed that exterior yellow. JMO.
I think is a cheery exterior color but on the inside, THAT was way too much yellow.
@@vaderladyl mm
So
It looked so much better afterward, but I hate that unsightly and unnecessary living room dividing wall. They should have just removed it. It would have made the room seem so much bigger. The little hall area could have simply been defined with furniture, which the bench more than accomplished.
I think they thought that could've led to a floor repair which would've been unnecessary work. It also could've become a can of worms to match the hardwood.
The other thing is you do not want a fragile floor at the entry. The painted floor will stand up to snowy boots in winter.
I really like this couple! Best wishes to them in a bigger house with new addition to their family!
You could have left the plants.
Having a showing agent follow me around the house would be uncomfortable, and this portion of the program always feels awkward and forced to me.
Maybe the homeowners were uncomfortable letting the “guys” go in alone.
Same dialogue and format in every episode. Where is the chest of drawers in the master? They seem to forget storage and focus more on minimal furnishings to make the spaces seem larger.
Yes, some things look good but will they really work for people who have pets, children, need room to sleep etc.?
The half wall by the front door should be taken out. It's very out dated plus makes the living room look small and cramped.
Right? What happened to making an Entance Hall? But nothing would be better that! ;p
Then they would have to fix the flooring which is more work
@@buddyholly4672 I hadn't thought of that.
I agree, I once had one of those walls and guess what.....GONE
It might be structural, otherwise out!
This is a very nice makeover. It's one of my favorites that Unsellables has done. It's now a very cute little house. That second bedroom though...wow, is it tiny!!
I loved this house after u redid it much better than the house u showed them that sold in days
The first example house needs some work also.
That couch......and that chair...omg. I feel awful.... just like after watching that Ronald Reagan movie.
That couch looked like a dog had been sleeping on it for years. Otherwise, the house looked like oatmeal. No pizzazz whatsoever.
Horrible! Granny flat.
Looks great! Take out that “pony wall” at the entrance. Seems odd placement 👍 And that kitchen floor looks very dated.
Or, emphasize it as the separation from the front door by putting some tall objects d'art on it along with hanging lights.
I don't always like the cookie cutter approach to "improvements" by these people BUT they are EXPERT in taking the before and after pix from the exact same vantage point. Sooooo helpful to see exactly what a difference the changes make.
This is the second episode in a row where the front plantings obscure the house. A little cleaning and trimming would go a long way.
That toilet facing the door though, XD!
Okay but low-key I wanna see what their house looks like today because they are like 10+ years ahead of the trends with the black kitchen and plants everywhere lol
I hate to think what's hiding in all the gaps between the kitchen floor boards.
You improved a Lot!,.. but that floor?!, nope, that’s an instant no sale for me.
Funny that the floor is all the rage here in Florida now.
@@vaderladyl 😳, that’s funny in a shocking way actually. The bacteria, filth, oil, food particles,..
Everything says that floor is Wrong!, I could Not let my children/grandchildren crawl on that!, c’mon, seriously!, you think that floor is Any Way sterile in even the most Basic sense?!,.. Nope,.. not At ALL💔😏
@@marablack1233 I don't know but I am no expert. I say is funny because a lot of people down here in FL enjoy that look. I particularly neither care or don't care as I prefer tile myself, that is what I have at home.
@@vaderladyl a lot of people in Florida do love the type of flooring seen in this home. I, personally don’t like this type of flooring, only because it requires a lot of care and maintenance. Which is why I am ripping out this flooring and the tile in my house and having the terrazzo flooring underneath restored. It’s durable and requires little maintenance. I’m just glad the first owner was wise enough to have it installed when it was built in 1955. 😁
I get so claustrophobic in some of these old homes. They made it look so nice though, as usual.
The yard both back and front is gorgeous. I wish I knew the name of those paint colors!
Anyone else notice in the kitchen there was the random cabbage on a cutting board during the open house/staging? Wtf haha
I would have gotten rid of the small divider walls in the front. Other then that it was done well.
The second comparative house was very nice and stylish.
A bathroom with no door - how cozy.
Lol I live alone and what’s the use of the doors unless ppl r over I never shut the bedroom or bathroom lol
Most of the “comparable” houses are NOTHING like the house they are trying to sell! The comparable house here was terrible, imo!! Sophie would have ripped it apart if it was the house they were redoing!!
Round tables look and function better in a square room. There is no formal dining room so more thought should have been given to dining options.
the "example" home was awful. Positively depressing.
I've been binge watching this show as I am going to be selling my home in several years. It has given me a new perspective on what will be necessary. While the renovations may not reflect your personal tastes, the objective is to appeal to the widest range of the target market as possible while keeping costs low. Plus, you need to remember that this was filmed in 2016 and styles change.
(I absolutely LOVE Jeremy.) The one question I have concerns those stairs by the living room that lead down. What is down there?
Actually, it was filmed in 2008, so even more reason not to get too wrapped up in the details, but look at the big picture. I'm looking to sell in a couple of years as well. I've been decluttering, but see I can do a lot more. Even at that, I may get down to the bare bones and put things in storage. It's also good to see what a little change like paint or new bathroom lighting fixtures, can do. You don't need to spend a lot before the sale.
Odd placement for the mirror in the master bedroom 😜 lol
Sofie is so beautiful, and Anthony so handsome...they would make a great couple!💕💕💕
Sophie's top looks like lingerie.
She is married.
Uh oh, I think I've got some work to do! x
Furniture too large for living room. Paint job on wood looks terrible. I liked the plants hanging in the kitchen, just not from the skylight.
The flooring is awful, especially in the kitchen. I wouldn't buy this house. Ever. Even after the reno, there is much to be done still.
I actually really liked all the plants pre-makeover.
I've noticed one thing though-they're very quick to paint over wood. I do agree with the bedroom where they removed the wood and repainted, but what they did to the 'office area' was a bit too much. Why not pick a brighter paint & show that wood as a 'feature' by rehabbing it a bit? They did the same thing to some gorgeous french doors in a previous episode. I kinda feel for the new owners who'd be later 'taken aback' by some of the 'cover-ups.' But to these owners, they didn't care. They painted some probably beautiful tile black. I have a problem with these 'cover-ups; they only destroy properties in the long run.
So why haven’t you moved your stuff to the new house?
Probably their offer to the other house is conditional to the sale of this one
I know this is from years ago but why do sellers lie and say they don't know why it is not selling when their real estate agent has already told them? I thought the first comp house was hideous and the second comp house was not so bad. Glad they finally sold their house however that bright yellow color on the outside and jungle of a yard needed a lot of work
Yeah, Anthony!
I am very much liking the changes made in this house.. I am a bit puzzled, though, for now that the inordinate amount of clutter has been wrestled and pinned, ☺, the house seems a good size for a couple and a baby..Too, the upstairs bedroom with the smaller room off its side--perfect for a nursery. Why move? Just don't re-clutter, and were it me, I would definitely stay, if I liked both the neighborhood location and the proximity to where I worked. Good job!
They'd already bought another place, hadn't they?
Yes..they had and thanks for reminding me. For myself, I am the sort that likes to travel but I DON'T like moving; attachment issues, I guess!☺ Anyway, the men are so brave to just pick up stakes and move on, and start a new "life-adventure" in such a positive and determined way. It's an admirable attitude to have.
I wish they would say which city these episodes are in.
The price of the reno seems so nice but then I think, if they had to pay for labor it would be twice that.
I think easily triple it or more. Sometimes the camera quickly pans over three people from the back all working plus Anthony makes a team of four. They are probably working for multiple days...
Anyone else notice the top portion of the house is a different color than the bottom yellow. My OCD would not like that. Lovely backyard!
Man! I’m envious of that green thumb 🪴.
Is this show based off of Canada? I always wonder. All the neighborhoods are so cute.
This episode is in Toronto, ON Canada, however, they've had episodes in the States, Australia, and, UK.
Gee, not every makeover has to be earth, beige and white. That's boring!
I agree. To me, the show is boring after seeing two episodes because everything is the same.
Those were the go-to colors during the 2000s to 2010 or so. Only during the past 8-9 years has grey, greyish and taupe come into fashion, and now the "decorators" are trying to bring back bright tones so you buy all new shit made in China. No thanks. I'll stick with my whites, creams, blacks and greys.
Well necessary evil to make it appealing for majority of buyers.
Lose the music, it's too loud
Needs a more neutral sound, that won't turn off potential viewers
It’s almost a sin to paint over beautiful wood!!
I actually liked the before kitchen. The bathroom needs a pocket door.
I liked the before kitchen way better.
In order to put in a pocket door, the framing would have to be totally redone so there is actually a "pocket" between two stud walls for the door to slide in and out of.
Pocket doors do not keep moisture in.
Definitely a pocket door but that would have been a bigger time and money consuming job for the staging low budget they had.
Adorable! 🥰
Painting the floors white is a big mistake. It will show every crack and imperfection. Either refinish properly or paint them a neutral brown wood color. Even the other house had black painted floors. Anything but white.
Plants are "visual clutter"?
Depending on the place they are put can look cluttered, she meant.
The small room could have been used for a nursery. Hmm
Loved the back and front garden but the house not too much
all the bamboo shades are too much. they look cheap. she uses them a lot
This is a budget redo show, this is not Buying and Selling by the Property Brothers where now they're doing $80K to $100 K "redos" in order to get a house ready for sale!
Cheap and easy, their formula for staging to sell.
Did Rob & Marcio adopt, though???
Why didn't they just keep the house? That small room would work for a young child. I thought that it was really funny that one of the owners expected buyers to add onto the house, but he wasn't willing to do it himself! Lol Wouldn't it be cheaper to add a room on instead of buying a new house? I guess that I'm too practical, but then again, I live in an 800 square foot home with 3 kids!
They were trying to adopt which I imagine is a very competitive and tough process. Don’t want to give the agencies any reason not to approve
I now watched a few episodes of this and have a question: is it normal for British houses to be sold including the furniture? Because here it is not and so I always ask myself why the updated furniture, lights, kitchens and whatever are so important since it will get taken out anyways and so the sellers just end up with a lot of stuff they don´t like or need?
Wasn’t this filmed in Canada?
@@lorirogers9304 google sais you are right. I realized its not common US or Australian houses and kind of forgot canada is an english speaking country too.
Gay couples who don't live in an aesthetically pleasing and perfect home is an anomaly 😂
I was thinking the same thing.
Where is this? I wish they'd tell us what city each episode takes place in.
Where? Toronto.
@@dancekeb1308 Ok that's what I figured. That seems to be the default.
If you were going to paint the floors I would have done something about the huge gaps in the flooring.
The first Comparative house furniture is so old and ugly!
Yes it is :) I was surprised that someone actually bought it :)
It was ugly, and those old sofas were dire! Maybe the home was priced really competitively considering it sold over the asking price - there must have been others after it.
people are not buying the furniture, but people have trouble seeing the house, instead of the furnishings.
It had beautiful dark trim. Wood stains come with design constraints; whoever choose that wall color failed to complement it and it came off looking old and ugly.
18:50 Those gaps in the wood-paneling should have been filled then painted-Looks half-finished and old.
Is a nice house,why they want to sell?
I wish they had painted the outside one color.
Why use another dark countertop, other colors would be better tan, beige, faux marble light, etc. I would have removed the 1/2 wall by door, unnecessary. The removal of the collections was key, and move them to new house. I brought a house was Chuck full of furniture, collections, old wallpaper, terrible kitchen and bath. We did all the work and we got a bargain.
Needs a kitchen table. That breakfast bar does not cut it.
I would have bought this house in a heartbeat.
Six or seven steps with no handrail. Would not pass for a FHA loan in US.
why do they blur out the art on walls in other home?
Copyright
Or pictures of their kids.
No dining table
This looks like the SF Bay area to me?
Toronto, about 10 years ago.
@@jessicagraham8526 Wow! so sunny! who knew??
Oh dear. The large established back garden, the entertaining hub of any house and unique wow factor selling point, was left with all its untidy clutter untouched, why? So many of the indoor plants, all real and a wow decor choice, were removed. The vintage kitchen hardwood floor (major selling point) was painted instead of sanded back, losing the trendy timber effect. The weird half walls inserted into the loungeroom shrank the space and made the entry look like the inside of a bank. And why move the lounge to block the picture window, ( which was rightly the main focal point of the room); and why no TV in the loungeroom? so many questions.....
Some people actually do not watch tv, often referred to as the idiot box.
Many factors like not knowing what to do better, low budget for staging, time and money constraints for the show, the show being old (from 2008-2011), etc.
Was that water damage underneath the skylight, painted over, shown for a split second just before the end? If so that should have been taken care of before showing. Not one of my favorite episodes
why did they paint the floor? A stain would of looked better in my option.
It was already painted, but the paint was all cracked. I guess it'd've taken more time and money to clean the original paint away and then stain. These people are specialized in quick and cheap fix for owners desperate to sell.
@@stevendow2606 makes sense.
Everything she paints is green or grey. Something more soothing, cream, light taupe, grey is so sterile. Black counter replaced with black counter?
Kinda like an undefined shade of gray that looks almost black.
Comparable property is WAY UGLIER than prospective property. These are the most expensive tiny, POS houses that I have ever seen!
The first comp house is weird because the dark trim and light wood floor look good together and the trim and wall look together but all three together look wrong. The two pairs feel like they come from different houses.
That Toronto, ugly and expensive. I'm sure that house today would sell for 3 times as much.
They paint every house in every show grey.
They just tell the homeowners to reply to anything, no matter how out of line, with single-word affirmations, don't they
The house they showed as a model that was pretty bad
Marketing it to first time homebuyers and who comes’to visit !? 2/3 older women. Downsizing is a real trend
id open that bathroom upstairs, with that little room, make it a real spa like bathroom, for a real contemporary look, do the railings to the basement, with black rod iron/steel & plexiglass walls, very chic, & you can see right into the kitchen, absolutely NO NOT like that pony wall, when you come into the house, looks tacky as does the basement one.
The first show house was horrible like someone's grandmother lives there. The second show house was much better. I like the remodel/upgrade except for the weird wall. should have removed he wall entirely. Also, the bench in the hall would have looked better if it was darker color and fit in more with the color scheme in the front room. All that white didn't look very good to me. Kitchen counter was a great improvement and really inexpensive. Loved both the front & back gardens.
First I have to say that the suggestions of some bigots here that gay people should not be able to adopt says more about THEM than about gay people, who are usually exceptionally caring human beings. I would balk at allowing bigots, racists and homophobes access to ANY children - they breed more of the same. By the way, I'm a married woman with three kids. Re the house - I have to say I loved the kitchen, with its greenery and wonderful distressed floor and winced when he said he'd paint it. However, it did look good afterwards - the whole house did. I would have liked more of a divider directly inside the front door though - just open struts, light, airy but a tad more private. Lovely makeover, lovely couple - I hope they get to adopt soon.
Bat Girl it has been a year since your lovely comment, and I hope they now have expanded their family!
Just because you are offended by people expressing an opinion different to yours, does not mean you are right. People should be allowed to live a different lifestyle and have different opinions without all the name-calling on both sides.
Her attitude at times is a bit arrogant. You can make suggestions and offer guidance with kindness.
Subwalls are too clunky
From cluttered to sterile.
I don’t know why but I have a true hatred of those Canadian windows. Hideous.
Hi
the person who edits these videos on UA-cam really doesn't like the woman who presents the show 🤔🤔🤔
Didn't like the comp house🏠
The sample home tour for an "example" was still blah and uglier!
