ANTHONY!!! 😍 he’s so talented! Sophie & Anthony perfect team!

[@beegood1215]

Anthony is the talented one.

[@littleone7404]

Was really happy to see Anthony was back

[@beckishelton7155]

Dog beds , dog beds , dog beds. When Sophie gets hung up on something she really gets stuck. We also know that she loathes vertical blinds.

[@Nombuso1]

Beautiful transformation especially the bedroom as for the kitchen i would've never imagined that a table and 4 chairs would've fit inside that former dog area!!!

[@sandragregg9079]

Beautiful transformation. I would have changed the landscaping out front. Get rid of big bush. Hides the house.

[@judyshort38]

I totally agree. Hedge is just too big!

[@beegood1215]

Totally right. Get rid of the hedge totally and plant some flowers!

[@jarcha4200]

I would have definitely cleaned, patched and seal coated the blacktop driveway to improve curb appeal. Right now it looks quite old and drab.

[@daynad8104]

Their real estate agent totally let them down by not telling them how to stage their home! I read a book about staging, and staged my first home for sale, in 1998, so there is absolutely no excuse for their real estate agent not to have suggested it in 2008+! 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@UnseenSpirit]

Some are better then others. Some are happy to take money from easier homes that will sell.

[@curiouscat3384]

how do you know he didn't? It's very likely he mentioned that certain things needed changing but the couple don't know how to achieve it. Plus it's nice to get free labor from the tv crew.

[@marieslabbert6009]

The sunroom and bedroom looked beautiful. I would not have put a black table and chairs in the kitchen, but that is just my taste.

[@patriciakelly69]

I love those dogs. Xx

[@fannycraddock99]

One of her better efforts but why on earth place the sofa against the wall next to the fireplace - duh!

[@wilmaknickersfit]

I agree, it's ridiculous. I also think the sofa and armchair look better without the covers, plus the covers on the dining chairs are not fitted properly. Actually overall the furniture tweaks look cheap.

[@AlexS-oj8qf]

To showcase the room size. It's not about aesthetics it's about utility. Furnitures are there to give an idea what could be.

[@a1bestrentals]

Facing the ugly TV isnt smart when there's a gorgeous fireplace, I agree.

[@Nombuso1]

People watch tv's not fireplaces duh!!

[@territ1231]

Remove the hedge!!

[@jarrodbarkley9061]

Why did they buy a house so far away from their jobs in the first place? Maybe they changed jobs after they bought it.

[@Fouloul.]

This program always replaces color with neutral paint, and neutral paint with colors, that were fashionable at the time.

[@AP-1983]

The hedges needed to go.

[@lauraalleguen6685]

Gosh. How does she walk in those high heels...

[@jarrodbarkley9061]

Why do they always blur the artwork????

[@debbiecatterson7865]

Why would you leave that big bush blocking the house? Should have painted out the entire fireplace to make it look up to date.

[@Maienkind805]

I get that dog owners might feel upset about the comments made in this episode. The show is about making your home appealing to as many people as possible, people without dogs, with dogs kept inside, kept outside, cat owners etc. For me Sophie's comments make sense in view of the aim of the show and don't say anything about her being an animal lover or not.

[@diyanaabdullah4255]

Not a fan of the chocolate carpet!🙄

[@sandravega6645]

@8:29 Disagree with this so called real estate expert, having a rug underneath a dining table is gross. Can't imagine that being practical for a real family with children and pets. This TV host is condescending and insincere towards the sellers. When you're buying a home, you're told to look past the paint and current homeowners furniture. She seems to get stuck on the most moronic things, like a dog with a bone that won't let it go. Funny how she conveniently skipped over the show homes yellow walls.

[@jannibal9273]

I like the redo they did very much. But dogs sleeping in the bedroom "unhygienic?" I don't think so. I had many dogs from childhood on (I'm now 70) and didn't get sick from my dogs sleeping either on a dog bed next to my bed or on the actual bed (when they were young and spry enough to jump up on it. Obviously, you need to clean regularly and vacuum dog hair if you have dogs that shed!

[@beegood1215]

The sun room and bedroom are excellent. The colors were OK but the landscape was atrocious and wasn't improved.

[@kimberblueyes3638]

I wouldn’t demo the stairwell. The walls and ceiling appear to be in good shape, nothing that a good new coat of paint wouldn’t cure. Seems like you’re making more work for yourself

[@jessicahavens1980]

By “wanting more for it than you paid,” does she mean inflation? Because that’s obvious.

[@SoCalFreelance]

Well done, some much needed changes. Buying and sell a house within a year makes zero financial sense given all the fees involved. You should only buy a house if you plan on living in it for at least 10 years or more.

[@vh2337]

I don't think most people stay in a house that long, I read once that average was 7 years.

[@annsmith7196]

Disagree. We’ve done it. As long as it’s a hot market is possible to walk away with a profit.

[@Metonymy1979]

Good lord, yellow

[@MsLouisVee]

The dogs are doomed!!!!! Sophie is here. obviously not an animal lover

[@hannahh6793]

I'm only 8:00 in but what's up with all the yellow? Even the second house has it. Horrible paint colors in both houses. Can't wait to see what color they change the yellow to!

[@solarlass5807]

I watched a video that stated that all of these shows are staged/faked and that the people are not really buying/selling a home. Doesn't matter to me, I still enjoy watching to see what they're going to do and what I would do. I can't really believe that the (supposed) owners expect to make much of a profit when they made no improvements but actually caused damage (fireplace). I was amused that the male co-owner was bragging about the lot being the largest on the street and later was saying hopefully it was the last time he'd have to cut the lawn. to sell: Exterior- I would have sealed the driveway, painted the garage door to look like a carriage door (add fake hinges/handles), trimmed the front shrub down at least 2 feet, cleaned up/mulched the flower bed in front of the house, added a trellis (with climbing rose) between round window and corner kitchen window and installed flower window boxes on the front and side kitchen windows. If I bought the house: Exterior- All of the above, as well as, install cupola on garage roof, install fake/blind eyebrow window on house roof, new address marker, new porch light, new mailbox. On the back porch I would install sheer curtains that can be drawn closed not just decorative and put a gazebo over the hot tub for privacy because it looks like they're whole yard perimeter is neighbor bound. I love little houses. They are so easy to transform into qu aint cozy cottages.

[@wilmacguzman4405]

Not advisable to sell so soon after buying. It looks like they needed help to make it into a home they were comfortable in - as spaces i.e. back porch very underutilized. Front appeal could have added yet more colour - to door and window trim.

[@kimibrowne4440]

Nice biceps... :-)

[@PH7018c]

The front of the property should be more appealing.. a side entry needs guidance, in rhis house is occult by those tall bushes.. Some planters and flowers make a better appareance.

[@lynnmckibbon9150]

I would have suggested a barn door to pantry sliding right (not to obstruct light switch on left) Sorry but have to disagree on changing master bed to queen. Overall looks great though

[@kittarats]

Thank you!

[@K78644]

ewww can you imagine all that dog hair and the stench?

[@meerob]

Those breeds don’t shed, coats have low odour and are low allergy.

[@K78644]

@@meerob must be horrible

[@beegood1215]

They work in health care. They probably wash things constantly. That's what I do. My friends haven't commented on cat smell, but I clean like crazy.

[@K78644]

@@beegood1215 people are just too polite to complain about the stench

[@candy11401]

I really liked the Dog area They love their Dogs and that's a good thing, I felt that Sophie was antidog and makes me wonder if she actually likes Dogs/Animals

[@hughkirk3946]

Yeah, Sofie is great at this work, but did give the distinct impression that she didn't care much for dogs, which is a big no no in her business I would think. Too many dog lovers in this world! There are diplomatic ways to handle such a situation without allowing personal feelings to enter in to it, especially since she preaches that to her sellers all the time!

[@candy11401]

@@hughkirk3946 well some of that is true and some people might prefer less hair/fur or some people could be allergic but if having a Dog area put people off then there is something wrong with the person criticising as they are going into someone else's home and criticising their life, Dogs and other Animals are family but yes she could say it nicer

[@EllaBeth30]

I don't understand what she has against dogs. I get that you shouldn't have dog beds in the middle of the bedroom but people looking for a house with such big lot for sure have already or plan to have a dog. Otherwise why would you need all that yard for?

[@marthashaebanyan-bady4259]
