Sell This House!

Greg’s tenants are moving out of his Santa Monica home, and he thinks it’s time to sell the place. Sure, it’s a little run down, but property values around here regularly run into the low millions, so it’s not surprising that even with a dark interior and some pet odor issues, this place is priced at $850,000. But potential homeowners aren’t going to bite unless there’s a carrot at the end of the stick. The living room is dark and cramped with outdated furniture, and the master bedroom is overflowing with furniture. Roger has a plan to give the living room a fresh new tropical-beach feel, and by removing the bulky furniture, it opens the space right up. Will removing the smelly old carpet reveal usable hardwoods beneath? Some de-cluttering in the boys’ bedroom and some sweet new bunk beds are just the thing to spruce this room up. Will all the changes help Greg see a return on his investment? Tanya Memme hosts.

Josh and Michelle’s peaceful two-bedroom condo is tucked away in a quiet complex. It’s got hardwood floors, a swimming pool right outside the door, and it’s just a few minutes from downtown San Diego. With a playful dog and a baby on the way, they’re going to need more space, so why doesn’t anyone want to call this place home? Well, for starters, this unit isn’t exactly getting as much of that famous San Diego sunshine as it could be. And then there’s the attack screen door, pet odor, outdated walls, too much furniture and clutter. First thing to go, the oversized fish tank, that hadn’t seen any fish for a while! Roger’s got a beach theme in mind to counteract the dungeon feel. Soon, the walls get fresh coats of lively blue paint, with a soothing sandy color below the chair rail in the living room, and the furniture is pared down to a manageable assortment.
