They sometimes do mention the sale or offers that occurred after the ‘transformation’. I suspect that knowing what the ‘open house’ people will say is Sophie’s main talent. There is no way for the show to ‘force’ a seller accept an offer after the makeover, so the owners may hold out for a higher price, once they see how nice the makeover turned out.
