Unsellable Houses

...somebody please halve the running time of this show so that I give it an eight rather than a four! This is a good example of a show that has an innovative idea and then dilutes the outcome with so much "stuff" that it becomes boring in parts. No one wants to see the kids learning to drive, or the family photos. We want to see how unsellable homes transform into homes that command multiple offers and higher than listed prices. Ladies- please- less IS more!

I watch quite a few renovation shows and this isn't bad...but I would like it A LOT more if the two hosts/sisters would just cut down their dialogue by about 30 per cent. They never seem to stop talking and also tend to talk over each other a fair bit which can be extremely annoying.

The manufactured drama is kept to a minimum, thankfully and a lot of the show's dedicated to the actual transformation of the property.

Apart from that, the premise of the show and the renos are fine, although as with many renovation shows, they seem to want to fill every available nook and cranny with a nick-nack. Sometimes, less is more, including the dialogue.

They say that the average agent sells 7 or 8 homes a year. But they say "we sold 170!" Is that believable? No, it's not. It's very misleading to the point of being an outright lie. They compare the sales of a single agent to the entire sales of all the agents in their agency. Apples to oranges. Great self promotion but dishonest to say the least. I guess they think people don't stop and do the math to see if it's plausible. I only learned this by a Google search to reveal that they're talking about their entire agency.

You have to ask if they are that dishonest, then would you want to even watch their show? Nope, not me.

I recently watched an episode where you worked on Pam And Jeff's house. In the episode Lyndsay refinished a door using stripper. She wasn't wearing a mask. That led me to share this cautionary tale. My mom was recently diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer. She never smoked a day in her life. She did own a refinishing and antique company for a few years about 30 years ago. She used stripper like Lyndsay, used stains, and sprayed lacquer. She never wore a mask. We are certain that she has the lung cancer because she didn't take precautions and wear a mask. Please always wear a mask and work in a room that is well ventilated. Encourage those you work with to do the same. My mom is doing ok but her treatment plan will take 3 years so she is not out of the woods. Keep up your amazing work!

I loved the first 3 seasons. Then, they format changed in S4 and now it's not really about Unsellable Houses. They lost their uniqueness. They've started focusing on being realtors and helping people do renovations. Helping people find new homes or just updating their current home is NOT the point of the show!! I can see that anywhere. Please go back to the original format. I'm watching reruns instead of the new episodes. And as with most of these type of shows, they spend way too much time on their personal lives. I don't care about their grandfather's birthday or want to see them give a son a housewarming party. Come on! Show more of the renovations and not your family lives. I don't want to see you get your nails done. Sigh.
