For those who are curious, Tarek listed the house at $599,900 but didn't get any offers. So he dropped the price to $575,000 and got a full price offer. After closing costs and commission, the profit was $72,700.

[@AneudiD78]

Thank you!

[@mannyoommen2768]

Is that good or bad though?

[@CC-si3cr]

@@mannyoommen2768 It's good! He sold the house and made a profit. If you got a check for $72,700 wouldn't that be good?

[@elynnamario3060]

thank you

[@truthtalker4038]

In my eyes, I would rather have a drainage ditch and commercial property around me than crappy neighbors!!

[@evamz9584]

That was all I could think about! 😆 much better than crappy neighbors 👌 💯

[@underratedunity1528]

Yeah plus you could make noise outside of business hours

[@luciaconn6788]

me too, I like commercial. Tarek did community service by turning it

[@wildone8397]

​@@luciaconn6788Shhhh 🤫 Don't want to bring neighbours in lol..

[@louloubell6586]

What a lovely home. Well done Tarek. Hope it sold for a great price

[@sreeladasgupta8795]

Lovely house! Would love to see all the rooms and what it sold for

[@empressdanvers9155]

Yes me to

[@djjones7039]

It sold for $575,000 he made a profit of $72700

[@madonnahagedorn5649]

I really enjoyed it when Izreal was there contractor.

[@mannyoommen2768]

It felt kind of nice seeing Tarak and Izzy do a house together.

[@Rosicrisp]

You just know that’s one proud mother and tarek definitely doesn’t need Christina although she does add to the show

[@southerngypsy1894]

That busy wallpaper and busy backsplash running up to the ceiling is something Christina would have put the brakes on...it's WAY too busy for a lot of buyers. Although I'm sure the home sold just fine, you lose more bidding war contestants when 1/2 they buyers will be automatically turned off by how busy the walls are.

[@dhqnekiesha3871]

@@southerngypsy1894 Christina WOULD HAVE DONE THAT EXTRA SHIT... She's done it before.

[@julieschubert6341]

I like the fact that he had his mom in this video. Tomorrow is Mother's Day!

[@ginacrusco234]

It looks so much better. I wouldn't have run the "backsplash" tile all the way to the ceiling, though. It looks too busy especially given the wallpaper feature wall.

[@southerngypsy1894]

That backsplash is way too busy for me as well.

[@mishloud4215]

too much tile - they always do this - much too busy

[@li-anderker55]

That busy backsplash looks like listening to christmas carols year round.

[@marieslabbert6009]

I cannot understand how people can leave a house like this. Three huge rubbish containers turned over?!!!!!

[@axelh5208]

it’s scripted

[@annettesjoy]

I was under the impression that you can't sell a house for more than it is appraised for. They did a great job on this one.

[@curtzeek8818]

Sure you can. The buyer would need to pay the extra out of pocket because it doesn't appraise

[@user-bd4qy5lq2h]

Yes you sure can the buyer must pay the difference in cash between the appraisal and the actual aggred sales price in cash only at the time of closing,😢

[@bethanycarr3760]

Always does a wonderful job . That big kitchen made a HUGE difference

[@TheSportsandFilmFellowship]

Don’t want to touch ???? Please edit this title. As an English teacher this hurts my soul 😅😅😅

[@truthtalker4038]

What's wrong with it? You don't even say what is wrong with it you just say change it! C'mon teacher, teach us!

[@SamEfDee]

@@truthtalker4038 Based on the comment it looks like the title originally said "don't" instead of "doesn't".

[@truthtalker4038]

@@SamEfDee Thank you for clarifying that for me... was kind of confused

[@CC-si3cr]

HGTV UK please stop cutting the clips short!! The whole point of watching a clip is to see the remodel done to the home.

[@captainillly]

The ending has no info 😔

[@karolmiller6984]

I love the remodel. I would have liked to see all and if he was able to sell it.

[@rzu7120]

Too much busy tile on the kitchen wall.

[@berlieannapalmer1187]

You both from start to finish are the best ..GB

[@VioletJoy]

Well, I was eating dinner. 🤢🤮 Good thing Cristina wasn't there, but the guys made all the sounds of disgust that she would have made. Lol Tarek's mom is adorable. I wish we could have seen the rest of the house.

[@renees1021]

I'm surprised Tarek used wallpaper. I recall he and Christina talking wallpaper and he was definitely against it. It looks pretty nice though.

[@amandawilliams5219]

WHY is there never a fridge??

[@Ballaurena13]

Probably has to do with the market they are in.

[@sherithomas5098]

Do people actually live filthy like this or do they do this on purpose? All the crap that was left in this house is amazing! I can't believe people would let buyers walk through a house looking like this period period yuck!

[@calicocavalier2254]

My guess is that it was a foreclosure. I’ve heard those get trashed.

[@Violet316]

Unfortunately, some people are truly disgusting, quite a few years ago we moved because of a job, so we rented out our house, less than a year later they moved (and didn't tell us). The house was disgusting, the carpets were soaked in dog urine and had to be taken out. Their kid's bedroom had words carved into the drywall. We had to do all the work, once we were done we were lucky enough to sell it and broke even. But yeah there are disgusting people out there, here is the kicker, the women cleaned houses for a living.

[@kingjames5946]

This one is faked. Why would there be tipped over trash cans indoors but it can be worse

[@harrymurphy1501]

you ruin these clips when you dont show the price it sold for

[@renees1021]

Turned out nice.

[@huddinge08]

Tarek listen to Izzy he knows the business !

[@deecarlson3375]

Its shocking this house cost $400k! Shocking! Any other place in the Continental US beside NY, NJ or Mass. this plain, run down Ranch would cost maybe $130k. California housing is out of control!

[@bigstickful]

I cannot believe people pay that kind of prices for homes in California.

[@miamivacation]

In Miami the price would more expensive

[@emmaw.7403]

Awww so nice to see tarek 's mom. Does anyone know from where she's from? Her voice doesn't sound fully american.

[@johnames6430]

i was wondering the same, I'm guess the dad has arab heritage and the mom is maybe turkish or european

[@sandravdmerwe804]

Wow baie mooi🇿🇦💞

[@source5729]

I don’t understand why they’re not wearing masks when first going into those poisonous homes! SO WHAT if the cameras are rolling & need ‘reactions!’ 🤢

[@GTRNR]

This builder of his... I wonder whether his quotes are negotiable or is he like a doctor, dentist, lawyer etc... THEY GIVE YOU HIGH PRICES THAT ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE yet you need their services.

[@matthewmastrobuono582]

He looked disgusted when he said he bought the house

[@jennygiallanza4524]

Oh Christina would not have approved of that wallpaper! It’s ugly. But I do love the stagers they always get. They do an amazing job

[@beverlypowell6923]

Did it sell for the price

[@heuristic-cat]

Exactly! All of the fuss over price and then they leave us hanging.

[@uniqueartandhealth8920]

Yes 👍

[@tonipope3164]

Hate the blue outside... harsh

[@svietka202]

what a terrible episode, we dont even see how it turns out. they show us all the crap in the beginning yet stop the viewing in the beginning of the final reveal. neither do we know how much it sold for

[@annebellette201]

What about the roof ???

[@angelbulldog4934]

In my part of America, this house in its original condition, even in the beginning of 2024, wouldn't be more than 75 grand. It's a dump! The neighborhood is a big drawback for me. I lived in an industrial area for 3 years. Didn't hate it, but I wouldn't choose to do it again.

[@sydneymitchell8822]

where is Christina?!!!!

[@hollysnow5290]

Hazmat!

[@angelarogel5050]

I like this show but you can't hardly see anything in this video

[@elsiemontgomery5866]

If it was up to Christina they’d never rehab a house. She’s against every house they look at BUT I’m sure she holds out her hand for the money when it’s sold.

[@johnames6430]

her 10th husband must be feeling really lucky to have her

[@stjcassagnas4286]

I really love the work and the taste of Tarek, but the nice tiles for backsplash. ... no good work. The design of each doesn't fit together. Tarek, you can do better!

[@mtopu36]

Am i mistaking or mr izzy is charging less than usual?

[@JMyapiliscious]

Takrek

[@hollysnow5290]

Hazmat

[@chrisgonzales4420]

I swear I'm Mexican and Izzy acts like he never knew any family that wiped and through it in the trash. It is gross but it done a lot in Mexico

[@cggalan3914]

But, the trash should've been thrown out ages ago. Not left in the house or on the floor.

[@abbeyanglade6762]

I see why the quality of the houses style is definitely lacking. Christina isn’t contributing anything anymore. Kick her off! Bring another partner in because I’m sorry Tarek, but you need some direction!!

[@idakate7]

Tarek is a very handsome man. Easy of the eyes. I love these renovation videos. I love transformation stories. This is a winner!

[@anaviiles]

He just needs Christina so much, to busy, to meh... he's just not as good as her in design and overall miss her on the show

[@Ashusheme]

You left me hanging, not only this video but also some in between. Can they be a bit longer😅just a suggestion.

[@LeaningSouth]

This house was not left like it was portrayed in this scripted fake show. The crew trashed the house for the drama. How insulting and humiliating to be used by these people for a profit. The rich get richer on the backs of hard working people. Smiling at you the whole time.

[@Bird1964]

Interesting. May I ask how you know this? 😊

[@Raquelwhatzhot]

Humans are gross. Really? Anyone who does there business and doesn’t know how to properly dispose of it? In my opinion that is death penalty for being a grimy disgusting human. Ugh.

[@---zb7sg]

Please, stop with the black and gray inside homes! You're just creating one tomb after another. I've stopped watching your show because of it. Depressing!

[@singlecatt]

Wish you'd quit chopping the pillows! I hate that. Why is everything black white and grey? There are other colors in the universe you know...
