Perfectly Located Four Bed House Won't Sell! | Unsellables S1 E2 | House Makeover | Abode 

I’d totally hire Anthony. He seems trustworthy contractor

Do they ever film this show in the summer? Because I swear in every single episode there’s 3 feet of snow on the ground.

Andrea is such a gracious lady, has a positive attitude, and always smiling. I hope she’s doing well now.

It's tough when someone comes into your house and says, get rid of this and change this. Once you get over the "insult". Don't take it personally. We are trying to sell our house and have gone through the same thing. People hate our tired carpeting. And our outdated kitchen. It is what it is.

I find this shade of green to be particularly ugly :(

If you want to get top dollar for your property, you have to detach yourself, emotionally, from your house. When you are making the decision to move ( because you want to - not have to) you really have to wrap your head around the idea that this structure now belongs to someone else. It's not easy...I know - we downsized 3 years ago from the home we had been in for 24 years and raised our boys in, to a Country place an hour away. Very difficult to let go of all those memories and all the work and money and sweat equity we had invested, but it pays off in the end. A reasonably small investment in updating pays huge dividends. We updated 2 bathrooms ( the 3rd was new) replaced the kitchen counters, sink and I ( painstakingly) painted out the kitchen cupboards, painted 80% of the house, and replaced the carpeting on the bedroom and basement levels ( ground floor had already been converted to engineered hardwood). Got rid of stuff we didn't need and ( and this is VERY important) Rented a POD and got everything we didn't need immediately, out of the house. Borrowed some artwork and pieces to "Juuje" up the house from a Friend, and added fresh flowers, homemade cookies, etc. ( Pre-Covid). We had One open house, sold within 48 hrs, and got 1K over our asking, which we had set on the higher end. We spent 7K, but more than made up for it - the difference between selling as is and upgrading was about 80K. Believe me... there were times when I was painting walls or cupboards that I was crying into my paint...but I told myself...If I'm leaving, I'm damn well going to get the most I can for my home, and for the time we sold, we did very well. I love Ms. Allsop - she knows her stuff.

I love how Sofie never enables these homeowners, like she straight push their buttons and give them a reality check lmaoo

Love this family! So happy with the makeover and glad this can help the family move on from the death of her mother.

I really wish they would tell us paint colors. I love that light green color.

I heard, "A couple with three children doesn't know how to breed." It was "breathe!"

Savvy buyers would look at these cosmetic issues and pitch a lower offer. Just needs paint and some finishing touches.

What a transformation! Great job.

That house was so depressing.

The devil is always in the details ...

I loved the floral wallpaper but I get that it's not for everyone :)

why did they remove so many of the indoor plants which added life and colour and look so good with tiled floors? and why not use colourful cushions and wall paintings? the makeover palette made the house look bleak ,basic and rental, and the interior space was left too empty.

The newly finished floors look awful as well. This house is a mess. Do not do projects yourself that look sloppy . It’s does not help at all. They really should have put in a new kitchen sink and nicer faucet ! She harped on and on about the broken faucet and then put it right back in

I used to watch Sophie on HGTV-US. I liked her work. That said, I’m not buying a house with green cabinets. Maybe, I’m too picky.

The house is dreadful. I think this family should rent.I would have painted the fireplace white.

I think I would have kept the house after the changes.

The natural wood in the kitchen was nice, the painted color is UGLY. I swear Sophie is color blind. Green, Grey? This house needs a redo.

Why anthony look like a spice boy? lol

With money & expertise, you can dream dream dream...

These really are too old fashioned to be useful now. Do you have any recent videos please.

good idea on molding and explaining how and why to do it.

Oh come on, you're not going to replace the kitchen faucet? You can replace for under $100. I wouldn't want the previous owners. Yuck

Green? Hmmmm....is this an old show? This seems like 90's or early 2000's...

Purple is a neutral color?? That green color the fireplace is painted doesn't go with the wall color, in fact, a lot of those paint colors are...sort of...weird. That one guy priming the cabinets didn't remove the hardware first, that's a no. And the prices of the supplies seem really really low.

The house still looks outdated.....

I think the contractor might have been interested in Pastor Andrea!

Why did they feel as though they had to blur out the pix of the last supper.

I paused at 16:31...Looking at the fireplace area great color, but the gaps all around the brick-work more to the right side from floor to ceiling is looking unfinished.Esp along that right side part way at the ceiling.

I liked the blue way more than the creme. Although the kitchen cabinets 'did' need a makeover, that light green wasn't much better, and the vinyl tile backsplash looked cheap. They should have chosen a richer-looking vinyl. Of course repairing baseboards was the right move

I can literally feel her heart of gold shining xx Great job team xx

Who in the world do a paint job with a dress and heals on🤦 I don't take this decorator seriosly

Several people from other shows attended this Open House! Clearly they must be Lookers and not Buyers.

Mmmm the 'after' work still looks a bit bland and dated.

Drab

I really need to know when this was filmed. It’s so weird watching an English lady telling Canadian to paint their walls beige in open toed shoes with hosiery

Seems they put a bandaid on a lot of things , like just replace the kitchen faucet already

Well done!

People want everything done for them these days!

These episodes are very repetitive. Same formula - make it as bland as possible: take out the clutter and paint the walls white (or in this case, paint the brick fireplace a sickly shade of green).

Kitchen and faucet should have been updated -- Booo!

The house looks like no one cares.🤔

I love the soft green paint you used in the living room. If you read/respond to comments, could you please advise the brand and name of the shade you used?

Omg!!!! She has good communication skills. I would have been kicked out from the door!! Lol

The transformation needed a transformation

Canada mid-winter. Fabulous yellow paint? Yucky, dirty-looking yellow paint. Cracked driveway, and a problem with the finish at the front of the house where a planter box used to be.

Reusing the faucet in the kitchen, rly? No 250 bucks available for a decent faucet? If there's one thing that comes through all episodes... Minimalism sells houses, so get on the bandwagon. Also pastel tones vs bright colors

If she is a pastor why didnt she just pray for a seller to come along?

Andrea plz don't leave this home. Ur mother 's blessings is always with you n feel that she is within u. U r a v humble n sweet person. N blessed with a v beautiful n spacious home

The weakest part of these shows is she doesn't say exactly when the house sold and for how much in comparison to the original asking price. It leaves you wondering, and not in a good way.

How much did the house sell for?

First of all. What the F is she wearing 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

The house was in a terrible state to start off with. Didn't anybody care about maintenance. Shocking.

Why do so many people used dark colours….everywhere….in their homes?

Lmao I can't believe they censored the last supper painting

The floor is way too dark and imho you guys ruined the fireplace.

Those Canadian windows.

My question is do the home owners pay for the work done for the makeover or does the show?

The only thing I like about this place are those plants.

Are these shows old? Many of the improvements seem rather dated.

I don't get Americans' need for two living rooms.

Whoops! The new decoration looks very dated. This would be unsaleable in Europe.

This family just lazy

Ok new rule for all homes- no longer are shades of tan allowed! It looks old, dirty and like tobacco stains.

Anyone know when these were filmed? Because the decor, even when they do it up, looks very 90s.

Why are you showing these OLD reruns? So dated!

I thought this show was about nice places. Terrible. It is depressing .....

The pastor is not convinced even if the facts are staring her in the face. Wonder how they got her to agree to a makeover.

You forgot to place the inside plants at the entrance well some of them, but in general, you got the wow on the house, I like the bedroom with the light green too

Why do all these houses have only one bathroom? For an entire family???

A 4-bedroom detached house in Mississauga (Malton area) for $339,000 CAD? That's freakin' unbelievable!! Nothing is THAT cheap there, in the Mississauga-Toronto area... Which year was it?

This family doesn't need to move. They need to redecorate from head to toes.

These makeovers are mediocre at best. God I wouldn't hire her for anything.

I loved the reform but I would have kept the blue room. I loved the colour. X

seen

My friends contractor said this would cost 18,000.00 not 3500.00 to do

When did she move to Canada 🇨🇦 🤔

what do they do to get all the built up grease off the kitchen cabinets? It always shows them just rolling out primer on the cabinets but when I did this years ago in an old kitchen it peeled off the first time I cleaned it.

When was this Show Broadcasted? The interior Design Looks quite old fashioned ....before AND after! What about scandinavian minimalist interior design, Industrial design....?

I think she does a good job on the houses, but seems she could be a bit kinder to owners.

Kitchen needs way more work done for updating. Big tv unit needs to go. Front door trim needs to be painted. Old lady furniture needs to go. Rent some up to date furniture for the open house & pictures.

Love that jacket 😍

amazing.job welldone.wow

Beautiful

Why do you have to blur out Jesus and the Last Supper? So disrespectful to her beliefs. Jesus isn’t vulgar He doesn’t need to be blurred 🙄

The incredible dirt oddly book because name molecularly grate qua a quick entrance. quixotic, mellow raincoat

funny how they blur our out christianity but would highlight a rainbow flag.

She’s one of the most unprofessional hosts. Sitting on people’s furniture all the time. No.

I don't have a problem with the makeover but that the showing was only to other black buyers. There were only one other white person which was married to the black woman. We needed to see more offers to a variety of nationalities or was this property in a red lined district and that is why majority of buyers we black only?

Took down the religious art to "depersonalize the space" but left up a picture of Blacks in the living room....
