Sell This House! is a thrilling home renovation show that takes viewers all across the United States as real estate expert and host, Tanya Memme, helps homeowners make strategic changes to their home in order to increase its value and speed up the selling process. Season 5 episode 4 of the series takes us to Las Vegas, Nevada where Clayton and Susan Barrow are in desperate need of help from Tanya.
The couple has been trying to sell their 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home for over a year with no luck. With a cluttered living room, a few dated features, and a less than appealing curb appeal, potential buyers are walking away from the property without a second thought. Tanya Memme and her team come in with a plan to give the home a modern and cozy feel that buyers will love. The challenge is to find a solution that doesn't take too much of a financial burden on Clayton and Susan.
The Sell This House! team takes viewers through every step of the process starting with the clean-up and depersonalization of the home. Tanya Memme, the host, explains how important it is for homeowners to remove all traces of their personal life from the home before potential buyers arrive for an open house. In this episode, viewers learn how to tackle the monumental task of decluttering and organizing a home, which can be especially overwhelming for those who have lived in their home for a long time.
The next step is the removal of the home's dated features, such as an old-fashioned fireplace and an unattractive chandelier in the dining room. Viewers will see the transformation from outdated to modern as the homeowners opt for stylish features that appeal to a wider audience.
One area of the home that gets special attention in this episode is the living room. The Sell This House! team takes creative steps to make the space feel inviting and cozy, including adding a gas fireplace and a fresh coat of paint in a warm neutral color. The changes are dramatic and show how small changes can have a big impact in a room.
The exterior of the home is also in need of attention. Viewers will learn how easy it is to improve their homes' curb appeal with simple tasks like adding potted plants, redoing the mailbox or adding a new front door. The Sell This House! team adds simple yet effective touches throughout the exterior of the home that enhances the overall appearance.
Sell This House! season 5 episode 4 is an inspiring episode that shows homeowners how to revamp their house without spending a fortune. The changes made in Clayton and Susan's home prove how strategic home improvements can make the difference between a home that goes unsold and one that attracts multiple offers.
