Ep 5. Getting Out of the City

"Buying and Selling" season 6, episode 5 titled "Getting Out of the City" follows the life-changing journey of a couple looking to leave their busy city lifestyle behind and start fresh in a more serene environment. The couple is feeling overwhelmed and drained from their fast-paced, city life, and they're looking for a slower pace of living, where they can take the time to enjoy their surroundings.

To help them achieve their dream, they've enlisted the help of real estate expert Drew Scott and his team of contractors. Drew takes on the challenge of finding them a new, peaceful home in the countryside and transforming their current dated city home into a modern, stylish property that will sell quickly.

Drew and his team waste no time in getting to work. Keeping in mind the couple's wish list, which includes a fireplace and plenty of space for entertaining, they begin the hunt for the perfect country home. They quickly discover a promising property, but with a lot of work required, the couple is hesitant to take it on. Drew assures them that with his team's expertise, they can not only transform the home quickly but also within their budget. With Drew's reassurance, they take the plunge.

As the transformation of their old home begins, Drew and his team help the couple declutter and pack up their belongings, while also analyzing the market to determine what upgrades will add the most value to the property. With a clear vision of what needs to be achieved, the renovation is well underway, with stylish upgrades being made, including new hardwood flooring, lighting fixtures, and wallpaper. Drew enlists the help of his trusted interior designer team to ensure that the new design is chic and modern, while retaining the property's unique character.

As the work continues, Drew and his team need to keep the couple updated, making sure they're comfortable with the work being done and providing them with frequent progress reports. Drew takes the time to answer all their questions and provides them with options whenever necessary. The couple is thrilled with the progress so far and can't wait to see the finished product.

Meanwhile, Drew and the couple take a trip out to their new country home to get a feel for the space and discuss the necessary renovations. Drew sees the potential in the property and helps the couple envision their new life in the countryside. They discuss their plans for the exterior, which includes modifications to the landscaping, a pool, and an outdoor entertainment area. Drew also explores different options for the interior space, recommending that they open up the living area and kitchen to create more open space.

With an action plan in place, Drew gets to work, and the renovations begin at the country property. Projects include a new roof, updated electrical and plumbing, and a new paint job. Drew and his team do all they can to complete the work within the desired time frame, and with stellar results.

As the transformation of both properties come to an end, Drew and his team ensure that every detail is addressed, from cleaning and decorating to staging and marketing. The outcome of both properties is amazing, with the city property looking chic and modern and the country property boasting a new outdoor space and a whole new level of relaxation.

In the end, the couple is thrilled with the work done by Drew and his team and can't wait to start their new life in the countryside. They're grateful for the expert guidance and advice they received and couldn't be happier with the outcome of both properties. Drew and his team deliver yet again, showing that there's nothing they can't do.
