100 percent I am in Northern Ireland and exactly what is done by the twin brothers in Canada and the American flipping programs. South Africa keep growing I am staying
would be even better if he makes videos from initial design changes with architects to show the behind the scenes process before starting the project, but still very good quality show he has, would recommend to people to watch who wants to get into the reno space
The old man just lost control of his live and did not know how or where to start, he just needed someone to help him gaining control again. Thanks for that.
This is so good. You helped the previous buyer well beyond what anyone else would’ve, you didn’t go over budget and it looks stellar, AND you got the best feedback from the buyer! 10/10
I wonder🤔🤔🤔 the previous owner reaction to the complete renovation. Anyway when you do good to others it comes back to you. You helped the previous owner pack etc and in the end you were able to save $8000 on the back in reusing the supplies, life🥰🥰🥰 Excellent job in transforming this house and in helping John with a new start in life 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Actually the purchase price and renovation costs were tiny. You made a decent profit. But wow, the improvement on this property is mind blowing. The difference of the before and after is absolutely amazing. Great job.
As a designer, this is amazing to see- especially as a South African! HUGE props to the curtain rods going to ceiling height! And the staging was stunning- it really allows potential buyers to visualise room layouts, and how quickly a house can be made to look even more modern. Only thing I would say, is the kitchen backsplash and bathroom tiles. Often patterns like that can be quite polarising- sometimes a basic white or beige tile can look cleaner and allow people to style the home in a way that suits their style much easier. A basic white subway is also a easy way to do it, but still make it trendy and modern. But well done! Can’t wait to see your next flip!
There is no doubt you are expert in what you do. Where you are unique is the care, the passion and the pride you take in the finished product. You are thorough in your reporting and transparent in costs and sales price. A try gentleman among thieves. So delighted to find your channel. South Africa will always have a special place in my heart. If you could just name the districts so I know where I am, as it was 33 years ago I left and its lovely to see how the city has developed. Thank you for sharing a most enjoyable adventure.
Great project Steve. You took us on the house tour, small as it was, some of us may get lost in the maze. Suggestion : do a simple floor layout plan, even a hand sketched one, show it to the viewers then take us on the house tour. And on job completion, another simple sketch floor layout plan. Put them side by side, you already have a before and after layout. How about that Steve. Good job Steve. 👏
Hey homie I am in Northern Ireland this your second flipping house I am watching you are very good and doing a great job. I am planning to come home to flip my old house I bought in 1996 in Shelly Beach, Margate KZN I am taking ideas from your flipping keep up the good work you are an inspiration
Just a question hope you are not offended, why are you coming bad? People are saying it is bad here please advise before I make a decision of going overseas
@@hlengiwemasondo2858 Hi my sister first of all home is home. I will never stop you from coming abroad the way we see things is totally different. I have lived in the United Kingdom for 22 years. I just want to come back home and take things easy. I am not coming back to search for jobs and beg for tenders. I can come back and work in the UK anytime and go and live safely without mixing with dangerous people. Politely, everywhere there are problems overseas there are problems as well and always remember that you are a foreigner and you will have to be very patient. I wish you all the best my sister.
@@hanlimarais8235 I've seen the media and stereotypes. South Africa is one of the most beautiful places in the world. And like any other country it has its challenges and dangers.
@@osmanali488 bro, just come through, honostly, dont listen to these ill traveled whyt people spweing shit about our country, they are all just full of kak. Living quality in SA is soooo much better than London. ALways a vibe down here
@@osmanali488 You only get to see what the media wants you to see. They paint the picture for you. First step when looking at a country, is analyzing its economy, and the FACTUAL reasons behind and causes of its demise or growth. Food for thought - South Africa barely has a stable electricity supply. The same applies to water.
Second video of yours that I’ve watched but I’m subscribing because I love how this video includes the stories of the seller and the buyer. I know that this is probably a one-off (not always a guarantee) but your reaction to the new owner’s comment was great. Congratulations to everyone for getting what they wanted 🎉🎊
I love these! I’m 19 years old, and I want to do this for fun in my life, help me so much to see more that what I can see in a house even at his worst! The only Thiri would add is some USA pricing in small so I can convert is easier but still love these! Keep it up my man
I doubt US pricing would be of any use to you . Market prices, material prices and labor prices are so vastly different between SA and the US . There I think you have to do your own homework.
Great show! But please can you make sure your workers have hand gloves, safety shoes, masks for the dust ( the guy cleaning the sewer without wearing gloves or a shirt!😵 What if he gets sick?), and proper tools so you don't burst water pipes like what happened in the last video where the house sold for 3million. Maybe you can use equipment to check where the water pipes are, also consider having the workers wear branded work suits to promote your brand and (have a health and safety file on site).... All the best!
In america we have a product called "zinsser primer". It is a paint primer that blocks stains as well as odors so they dont seep through new paint. You could use that on the ceiling and walls where those stains were coming through.
You bought the property in good faith. You helped the previous owner so, now god blessed you. 🙂 I can't believe properties in South Africa is cheaper than in Philippines.
The house was sold for almost 6 million philippine peso. For a single story house, that's quite expensive. Unless you're in Central Luzon, then 6Million house is cheap.
Congratulations !! , i'm from the island of Mauritius and i used to live in Johanesburg, i am bluffed by the low cost for the renovation and what you got out of it is just amazing, it's beautiful, practical with low maintenance flow, Well done man.
So glad I found your video, I live in cape Town currently and my parents are in joburg, in the next few weeks I'm meeting with the ceo of rawsons for an interview to become a real estate agent, property ownership and renting has been a long time goal and dream of mine and I can't wait to see what more you have to offer!
Loving your videos! I am excited to see how your channel will evolve as it grows, which it undoubtably will if you continue pushing this great content! If I may make a small suggestion, perhaps rather film and export in 30fps rather than 24. I think for your type of videos it will suit them better. All the best and looking forward to your next one!
This is just too amazing bru... Your team and your expertise in transforming a house is astonishing. You definitely need to be on the Home Channel too. Avi in South Africa Durban
Very cool Steve, glad to see you've branched from your old man's real estate business and incorporated it to help you with your own goals and dreams. Take care , from a fellow former De La Salle student.
Just watched your video, really enjoyed the before & after,. It was awesome that you helped the gentleman find his new home, what a lovely thing to do...... big 👍up from Scotland.... looking forward to watching more of your videos!
wonderful delivery on the project, quick decision making, making use of what was usable, dressing the result well, clean and sharp results - No extraordinary reason for the success you achieved. Basics!!!
I like your work Steve and everytime I watch your video's I'm inspired to do more with what I have but I need help and more clearity on a project of such course because I know the challenge is high maintenance
Wow another impressive flip, I love yr passion /drive. Going out of your way to help John, your team I could go on. I'm glad I came across your channel n I hope will see u in our TV screen. The knowledge u impart on us greatly appreciated🙌
