Sell This House is an American reality TV show where homeowners who have trouble selling their houses are paired with a team of experts in order to get their homes "buyer-ready." The team works together to transform the home, making small repairs, decluttering, and staging the house to appeal to potential buyers. Hosted by Tanya Memme, the show has previously featured locations across the US, including California, Texas, and New York.

Season 4 Episode 3 of Sell This House is set in sunny San Diego, California. The episode follows a couple, Kay and Saul, who have been trying to sell their home for over a year. Despite the desirable location and stunning views, the couple has had no luck with potential buyers. The team of experts includes designer Roger Hazard, contractor Charlie Frattini, and stager Sabrina Soto. They are tasked with transforming the home and making it more attractive to potential buyers.

The episode begins with the usual walkthrough of the house by the three experts. The team first identifies areas that need fixing, such as peeling paint, overgrown shrubs, and outdated decor. The house has stunning views of the ocean and the experts focus on highlighting this feature throughout the renovation process.

Roger starts with the interior of the house. He suggests repainting the walls to create a lighter and brighter feel which will make the space feel larger. The dining area receives a dramatic transformation with new furniture and lighting fixtures. Roger also suggests updating the kitchen by replacing the countertops and adding new cabinets. The team identifies that the biggest challenge in the house is the outdated bathroom and the cramped master bedroom. Roger suggests a new paint color and adding new decor to the bedroom so that it appears larger. In the bathroom, he recommends a complete overhaul with new tiles, a new tub, and sink to create a modern and luxurious feel.

Next, Charlie works on fixing the exterior of the house. The team notes that the front yard is overgrown and needs to be tidied up. Charlie recommends trimming back trees and bushes so that buyers can see the house clearly. He also suggests replacing the broken fence which will help create more privacy for potential buyers. Charlie estimates the cost of the repairs at around $3000.

Finally, Sabrina works on staging the house to make it more attractive to potential buyers. She carefully chooses decor items that compliment the ocean view. For the living room, she chooses furniture that is light and airy to create an inviting atmosphere. The master bedroom receives a spectacular transformation with new bedding, curtains, and artwork. The team also agrees to remove any personal photographs or items to create a clean slate for potential buyers.

After a few short weeks, the team is ready to show the house to potential buyers. The new decor, combined with the ocean views and modern design elements, makes the house feel larger and more inviting. The couple is ecstatic with the transformation, and they can't believe that it's the same house that they struggled to sell for over a year.

This episode of Sell This House is a perfect example of how a little bit of TLC can completely transform a home. The team successfully updated and modernized the home to make it more appealing to buyers. The stunning views combined with the expertise of the Sell This House team will undoubtedly help Kay and Saul sell their home quickly.
