Beautiful home to begin with. I like the magic wallpaper. I wish the industry would get over their obsession with grey everything.
-
George is typical of a single man who has lived in his comfort zone for many years.
-
I know the exterior needed an update, but the colors they chose added very little curb appeal! It was so drab. They definitely could have selected more attractive colors.
-
The blue on the front was quite nice, just needed to paint the "gold", grey or white. Those dragonflies were hideous too.
-
George is so smart, he got a free home renovation in a house that he already received for free. He aint selling that place.
-
He’ll be smoking and smirking in that house for years to come.

I happen to love the exterior colors. When I look at houses, I look at the size, shape and condition of rooms and house...not the furniture! Some people are incredibly shallow and short sighted. I think she turned an adorable Victorian into a gray, dull nothing. The reactions of the "new potential buyers" are less than impressed--they seem very bored with it. SHE'S more impressed with her work than they are! I'd fire her!

Think I would have got rid of the yellow ceilings

He obviously dosent have any intention of actually selling the place, if youre motivated and want to ( in his case go travelling ) 92% of the asking price can be negotiated to 95% and then its a done deal, hes lived there his whole life, he just wanted a cheap renovation
-
If he already had 6 offers he doesn't need to be on this show, clearly people are interested in the house. The house is not selling because HE is rejecting their offers, not because there's anything wrong with the house.
-
Where I live houses are sold within 24 hours and there are 8 buyers trying to buy the house. No matter what old ugly furniture or bad paint jobs they may have.
-
I'd have maybe kept the blue. Maybe swapped the gold out for white. It gave it character. The exterior 'after' colour is sooo painfully drab. And...dragonflies on the walls in the main bedroom. Cringe
-
Kinda funny that traditional victorian colors are not popular for a victorian house.
-
Did anyone else notice the hideous and cheap looking (1960's?) wrought iron columns on the front porch? They undoubtedly replaced the original wood ones years ago, they could so easily be replaced with metal poles surrounded with real wood (or even fiberglass) authentic looking columns. It was obviously an inexpensive quick fix that someone decided to just let ride. It RUINS the entry look!
-
The kitchen was plain. And you didnt show the bathrooms.why, thats part of a house people are interested in.
-
Modernizing a Victorian Home automatically looses me as a buyer. If así look for Victorian homes, I am not looking for updated ones.
-
he just wanted a makeover.....didn't really wanna sell his childhood home. smh

What are these people talking about? You don't look at how a house is decorated or furnished! You look at the location, the space and the bones of the house when deciding whether to buy or not. The furniture? You bring your own furniture and decorate it the way you like. The color scheme? Ever hear of paint? I wouldn't buy a house that is less then 2 feet away from my neighbor, but that's my preference, and from there you start talking price.
-
It is lower than the area and who cares if he has a stained mattress?!?!?! I'm not going to live on, with, or use his stuff, he'll be taking it with him! You have to expect to paint and make changes when you buy a home. He has a modern kitchen and they say nothing about the electricity and plumbing--if it were newer than there you go!
-
I suspected he never planned on selling his home!
