TVTranscript
00:01Quaint fishing villages, panoramic ocean views,
00:05surf, sand, waves and tides for people all around the world.
00:11The coastal dream is just a move away.
00:19Well I think this will be like the biggest project that we'll have.
00:23I'm kind of nervous about it.
00:25Change our life a little bit again.
00:27Like the closer to the water the better.
00:28And like I'm very excited.
00:30I'm Sydney.
00:31I'm Sebastian.
00:32And we're looking for our dream oceanfront property.
00:34Where we can live and run a business from.
00:37We met 12 years ago.
00:39I went backpacking in Australia.
00:42So I flew into Australia with my friend.
00:44We met Sebastian four hours later and my backpacking plans went out the window.
00:49It was love in the first sight.
00:51She was so interesting to me like how we talked and connected straight away.
00:54My friend went backpacking with his friend
00:56and I stayed with Seb in Sydney.
01:01His energy and his drive in life is just nothing that I had ever seen before.
01:08I love Sydney like because she's just natural.
01:10She's just honest and full of love.
01:12She's a beautiful human being.
01:14And we got married three years later.
01:17In Cuba.
01:17We started business together a few months later and we bought properties.
01:23Started flipping right away.
01:24We've done a lot of renovation, short-term rentals.
01:28I think we have purchased and sold 13 properties.
01:31And after six years we decided to do something new.
01:34And it was very important for us to live in Canada.
01:37Because we tried for five years to get pregnant.
01:39And we was thinking when Sydney lives closer to her mom.
01:43You know like the environment change and everything.
01:45So it would be like easier for her to get pregnant you know.
01:48I picked a spot on a map in Nova Scotia.
01:51I remember the first days when the sunset came.
01:54And I said to Sydney, Sydney pinch me.
01:55And she said why?
01:56I don't believe we are alive.
01:58Like it's so beautiful here.
01:59Like I think it was in heaven.
02:01And three months later, Sailor came along.
02:04And then Silas came along.
02:07I always wanted to watch our kids run on the beach and...
02:10Be wild.
02:11Yeah.
02:11Give them all the freedom.
02:13We like just to come down on the beach.
02:15Go for long nice walks with the dog and with the kids.
02:19And enjoy the waves, enjoy the water.
02:21Dip in and come out and the salt on your skin.
02:23It's all magical.
02:24It's all beautiful.
02:25Like we like to find a property where we can live in it.
02:29Run the business of it.
02:30And give it to our children.
02:31We've always been landlords.
02:33We've always done the property thing.
02:35But we have never done the hospitality.
02:38Taking care of our guests.
02:39We're excited to try something new.
02:43Our wish list for the property is ocean views.
02:47Yeah, for me it's very important to have the beach right there.
02:50I don't want to drive to the beach.
02:51So we would need a minimum two bedrooms for our living space.
02:54Since we're having multiple holiday rentals, guests can always stay there.
03:00We would love two bathrooms.
03:02The property has to have income potential.
03:05It needs to be a business opportunity.
03:07I would like to be able to see where my kids are, to have it open.
03:12Our budget is two million.
03:14It's very typical of Sebastian to say the budget is two million and then go with more.
03:21I just try to make it work.
03:25Patricia is our real estate agent.
03:27She's a firecracker.
03:29She knows us.
03:31She knows what we like.
03:32Patricia is Polish.
03:33Sebastian is Polish.
03:34And it's a whole lot of Polish energy going on.
03:36She is exactly what I need.
03:39I'm so excited.
03:41Let's go.
03:44We are in Liverpool.
03:46Liverpool is in South Shore and it's absolutely beautiful community on the water known for many,
03:53many beautiful restaurants and coffee shops and parks and trails.
03:57This property is located not on the water.
04:00It's in the heart of the city.
04:02The water is literally two minute walk to the park and the beaches.
04:06It's just so close.
04:08Hey Patricia.
04:10Hey Patricia.
04:10How are you?
04:11Good morning.
04:12Are you ready to get started?
04:13Yeah, we're really excited.
04:14We're very excited.
04:15So this property is about an acre and it consists of two dwellings.
04:20The first property I'm taking Sydney and Sebastian to has four bedrooms, two full bathrooms and two half baths.
04:26There's a separate guest house with two bedrooms and one bathroom.
04:29It has 4,116 square feet of living space.
04:34It is listed at $1.1 million.
04:37The main house could be an absolutely beautiful inn.
04:41The guest will live in this big building in the front and we will have a separate house in the
04:46back.
04:46That's correct.
04:47Okay.
04:47I really love the peak on this house.
04:50It gives a really nice character.
04:51Yes.
04:52And the little balcony.
04:53I think it just really looks like something that I could see myself running for a business really.
04:58The water?
04:59There are no water views or front.
05:01So how far away is the water?
05:03The water is about two minutes away.
05:05Okay.
05:05So it's not too bad.
05:07Yeah.
05:07So it's under your budget.
05:09You would have to spend some money to make a proper inn, proper bedrooms and bathrooms.
05:13Let's see how much work it needs.
05:15Yes.
05:15Let's go in.
05:21Wow.
05:23This is beautiful.
05:25Yeah.
05:25Look at these big frames on the doors.
05:27It's a nice reception area.
05:29It's a nice landing zone for our guests.
05:32Slate tiles.
05:33It looks like original.
05:34The doors have character.
05:36Everything has a little bit of a nice touch to it.
05:39Is this the living room?
05:40Yes, it is.
05:41Wow.
05:41Another room with a lot of character.
05:44So pretty.
05:45Oh my goodness.
05:45Nice and open.
05:46Hardwood floors.
05:47Great paneling on the walls.
05:50Very classic looking, right?
05:52Yeah.
05:52Look at the windows.
05:53Like the frame of the windows.
05:54Yeah.
05:54You can actually feel the history when you walk into this room.
05:57Is this a real fireplace?
05:58This is not a real fireplace.
06:04It's a propane fireplace.
06:06However, you can always have an insert with a real fireplace.
06:09Could you imagine like the guests sitting here in the winter and like the cozy vibe?
06:13Christmas decorations.
06:14Polish cookies.
06:16Yes.
06:17Beautiful.
06:18Check out this library office.
06:20Lots of space.
06:22Wow.
06:22It's beautiful.
06:23Wow.
06:24This is a sunroom.
06:24It's a lot of light.
06:26Is that the dining room?
06:27Yes, it is.
06:28It's absolutely beautiful.
06:30Cute.
06:31Oh my goodness.
06:32I love it.
06:32Check out the chandelier.
06:33Yeah.
06:34And the size and the space.
06:36And the wood on the walls.
06:37It's amazing.
06:38The paneling.
06:38Yes.
06:38It's all original.
06:40I love the flow from the living space, the library, into the sunroom and now you have
06:44the dining area.
06:46You grab your breakfast and you go outside in the summer or you go in the sunroom.
06:50So should we go and see the kitchen now?
06:52Of course.
06:52Let's go.
06:54I like the kitchen.
06:54What do you think about the size?
06:55Yes, I love big kitchens and islands.
06:58Do you have the right kitchen equipment?
07:00Leave the kitchen like it is and let the guests use the kitchen when they want to cook something
07:04for themselves.
07:04Maybe we can bring in pastries from a local coffee shop.
07:08This would be nice, yeah.
07:09Should we have a look at the bedrooms?
07:10Yes, I'd love to show you bedrooms.
07:13Okay.
07:14We have four bedrooms, two full bathrooms.
07:16This bathroom is a main bathroom that services the other bedrooms other than the primary.
07:23Let's check out this huge primary bedroom.
07:27Lovely.
07:27Wow.
07:28This is way too big for one bedroom left.
07:30You know, make more rooms out of it so we have better income.
07:33And you have this giant walk-in closet that it's really not needed.
07:37We can subdivide it and turn it into a bedroom.
07:40There's an all suite around the corner.
07:42The finishes are really high quality.
07:44Let's check out the guest house.
07:46Okay.
07:47This is the guest house where you guys will be living.
07:49And it's all one level.
07:53Oh, wow.
07:53Not loving the carpet.
07:55No.
07:56Oh.
07:57You can always remove it.
07:58Yeah.
07:59Here's the kitchen.
08:01Oh.
08:01Yeah.
08:02I think we've got this kitchen completely.
08:05I want to see the other rooms now to see what concept we can do.
08:09I love this.
08:09You guys have the vision.
08:11Let's go and check out the building room.
08:13Nice and open.
08:14You can still open part of that wall.
08:16Cool.
08:17I like that this is separate from the business.
08:19So the bathroom is right here.
08:21And we also have two bedrooms in here.
08:24One for the kids.
08:25And this is the primary?
08:26That's correct.
08:27I did want to have two bathrooms though.
08:30Yeah.
08:31And it is really small.
08:32I want you to see the yard.
08:34There's a lot of possibilities out there.
08:36So let's go.
08:37Okay.
08:40Oh, look at this big piece of property.
08:43It's like a park.
08:44Yeah.
08:44It's huge.
08:45I could really see maybe some Nordic Spa type action happening here.
08:48Like a swimming pool for the guests.
08:50Maybe mini golf.
08:52So I just want to remind you about the listing price.
08:54It's $1,100,000.
08:56Yeah.
08:57Okay.
08:57And that includes two homes.
08:59The main building has so much potential.
09:01I'm not sure about our living house, but we can always make it work.
09:05I like that there's a potential of being able to run it seasonally versus all season.
09:09And the price is good.
09:111.1.
09:12You get a lot for 1.1.
09:13What would you like to see next?
09:15I want to see something that has an established business.
09:18Yeah.
09:18And especially like see the water, have a water view.
09:21I got something lined up for you for tomorrow.
09:23So I'd love to show it to you.
09:28Today we're in Queens County and buyers love this area for sandy beaches, great restaurants, great coffee shops and nature.
09:35This property has established business, has a water view and it has a beautiful home.
09:42Hi, how are you today?
09:44Good morning, Patrizia.
09:45So what do you have for us?
09:46I have a beautiful home for you and you wanted established business.
09:49Yes.
09:49It comes with three cottages, two bedrooms each and it's already operational.
09:55Because it's only three cabins, is there potential to build?
09:58There's some land in the back.
09:59You can cut some trees.
10:00You could build more cabins or you can just build one building with six units.
10:05Oh, great.
10:07The second property I'm taking Sydney and Sebastian to features a four bedroom, one and a half bathroom home with
10:12three additional rental cottages.
10:14The main house has 2,024 square feet of living space and is situated across from a very popular beach.
10:21And it is listed at $1.3 million, which is under their budget.
10:26The house is beautiful, like the big deck on it, like I really like the structure.
10:30Yeah, it's nice because it does have that forest in the background, so it's really a rustic feeling.
10:35It's kind of easy going.
10:37And I see some water.
10:39There is no water front, but it's a water view.
10:41But you do have a street.
10:42Yes, we do.
10:43So you have to cross the street to go to the beach.
10:46That's correct.
10:46Okay.
10:47Yeah.
10:47I really want to see inside.
10:48Let's go.
10:51Wow, look at the deck.
10:53Look at the stairs.
10:54This looks nice.
10:55I'm excited.
10:56Nice and rustic.
10:58Wow.
10:58I like this high ceiling.
11:00It's definitely giving surfer vibes.
11:02I love the open, airy, lots of natural light.
11:05Yeah.
11:06There's no isolation, so it would be not functional for the wintertime.
11:10No.
11:10It's not winterize.
11:13It's not winterize.
11:15You would have to spend money to do that, obviously.
11:18I love the fireplace.
11:20That's gorgeous.
11:21It's a real fireplace.
11:22The floors are all wood, large windows.
11:25The whole place, it's nice and open.
11:28But I really can see the kids running around and playing and having fun, especially on the
11:33big deck.
11:34Do we need a big house like this?
11:36Well, we could just make more babies.
11:37Oh, okay.
11:38Or you can turn one into the office as well.
11:41We have two bedrooms on this side of the house.
11:43Okay.
11:44We can maybe knock some walls down and make the bedrooms a little bit bigger.
11:49Love it.
11:49Very cute.
11:50Paint room.
11:51Yeah.
11:52And the kitchen's over here.
11:54Great cabinet space.
11:56You can paint it the way you like it.
11:58Yeah.
11:58I can see straight away.
11:59There's a bedroom.
12:00The kitchen is small.
12:01So we can knock down the wall, make it bigger.
12:04The concept is there.
12:05I really love the sweetness of it.
12:07It's a cottage pie.
12:09There's a lot more house to the other side, so let's go check it out.
12:13There is another bedroom here.
12:14You can open up that wall.
12:16You can combine it with the kitchen.
12:18There is a full bathroom on this side.
12:22Okay.
12:22Small little bathroom.
12:23It's small.
12:24Can we do both kids at the same time in here?
12:27I'm not sure.
12:28I would definitely want to add in a bathtub for the boys.
12:31Yeah.
12:31So check out the primary.
12:33Oh, wow.
12:33This is another cute room.
12:35Yeah.
12:35Nice and open.
12:36Great ceiling.
12:37Great height.
12:38Lots of wood.
12:39See, there's everywhere room for it.
12:41To knock down this wall, make it an ensuite or something.
12:44This is why I brought you here, because you have great creativity.
12:48Why don't you check out cottage number two, and I will meet you at the deck.
12:53Sounds good.
12:55I think that it's a good size cabin.
12:58Lucky one is not occupied.
13:01Cute.
13:02Wow.
13:03I could definitely see our guests sitting here, enjoying the cottage.
13:07It carries over the surfer vibes into here.
13:09Yeah.
13:11Patricia knows what we like, huh?
13:12Yeah.
13:13Let's go talk to her.
13:16So what did you think about the cottage?
13:18The cottage is really sweet.
13:20I love that it doesn't need a whole lot of work.
13:22So the list price is $1,300,000 under your budget.
13:27Comes with the business.
13:28It's already operational.
13:29You have the house to live.
13:31You have the view.
13:33I definitely love the water view.
13:35I think it's really pretty.
13:36We want to finally see something with our full budget.
13:39I want to be right on the water, Patricia, you know?
13:41Water frontage comes with the price.
13:44You know, we have a lot of budgets to play with around.
13:46Everything is negotiable, right?
13:48Okay.
13:48I will set it up for tomorrow.
13:50I can't wait.
13:53We are in Hunts Point in South Shore.
13:55Buyers absolutely love this area.
13:58For the ocean, fishing, beaches.
14:01It's absolutely stunning.
14:02I am changing gears here a little bit,
14:05and I'm showing them something that is over their budget.
14:07However, it provides great opportunity to own a business
14:11and a home and have dramatic oceanfront.
14:14Morning.
14:15Good morning, Patricia.
14:16How are you?
14:17Good.
14:18Patricia?
14:18Yes.
14:19This is what we were talking about.
14:20Exactly.
14:20It's absolutely beautiful.
14:22Exactly.
14:22So we have a main house.
14:24This is where you would be living.
14:25We also have ten cottages and three suites.
14:28Wow.
14:28This is the main house?
14:29This is the main house.
14:30It looks a little bit small, but...
14:32It's quite deceiving.
14:33You'll be surprised how much space is there.
14:35Okay.
14:36How many people could it host in one time?
14:38About 55.
14:4055?
14:42This property consists of ten cottages and three suites.
14:46This business has been in operation for the last 80 years.
14:50The sellers are retiring,
14:52and they're looking for someone who's going to run it with a fresh blood.
14:56So the list price is $2,200,000.
14:59This is $200,000 more over our budget.
15:02You have to give me something for it.
15:04So what is it?
15:05So first of all, it has private beach.
15:07It's right on the ocean.
15:08The land is 1.5 acres.
15:10It is very unique and very profitable.
15:13So the main house is where you would be living.
15:16Can we have a look?
15:17Of course.
15:17Let's go.
15:18Let's go.
15:18I'm excited.
15:21It's a bit tight in here.
15:23So we have a bathroom on the left-hand side.
15:26It's bigger than it looks.
15:27It is the only full bathroom in this house.
15:29First thing, maybe, like, make it into a walk-in shower and add a bathtub.
15:34Okay.
15:35Let's check out the view.
15:38Wow.
15:39Oh, my God.
15:40I love it.
15:41Wow.
15:42It really has the wow factor.
15:43I can't believe how big this house is.
15:45It's huge.
15:46Yes, it's amazing.
15:47Look at the corner.
15:47Corner windows.
15:48I really didn't expect to see this.
15:50This house is beautiful.
15:52And you're in the center.
15:53Yeah.
15:53You see absolutely everything.
15:55Look at the ceiling.
15:56Look at the openness.
15:57Yes.
15:58From outside, it looks small.
15:59But when you came in, like, I'm impressed.
16:03This is Captain's Quarters.
16:05This is the best location on this land.
16:08Can we look at the kitchen?
16:09Of course.
16:10Nice and open concept.
16:12Wow.
16:12New appliances.
16:14Where does all this space come from?
16:16And it looks good.
16:17Like, it's nothing wrong with it, right?
16:18So...
16:19You can add an island.
16:20You can add a peninsula if you wish.
16:21Yeah.
16:21A nice island or something, you know?
16:23Change the backsplash.
16:26So this is the kids' room.
16:29I could see some bunk beds.
16:30The boys might be excited about that.
16:33Let's check out the primary.
16:35Beautiful, nice and bright.
16:37I like that you can see the ocean from the bedroom.
16:40Maybe I'd shift the bed so you can see the ocean while laying in bed.
16:44You could.
16:44And there's an ensuite as well.
16:46The two bathrooms that we were looking for.
16:49Exactly.
16:50I'd love for you to see three suites.
16:52I'll meet you by the water.
16:54Wow.
16:55Look at those views.
16:56This is amazing.
16:57Wow.
16:59Look at the bathroom.
17:01Yeah.
17:02Wow.
17:02Big soaker tub.
17:04Look at the bedroom.
17:05Bedroom.
17:06I'm really excited to go see a cottage.
17:09Yes.
17:10Wow.
17:11Wow.
17:12Wow.
17:12So it's definitely the cottage vibes.
17:14Yes.
17:15The real Canadian cottage vibes.
17:17Yeah.
17:17So it's a two bedroom.
17:19Yeah.
17:19Got a big bathroom.
17:21Mm-hmm.
17:22The kitchen.
17:23Change the color.
17:24Maybe do something with the siding, you know?
17:26Maybe do it more beachy like white.
17:29Yeah.
17:29Should we check out the water?
17:30Let's do this.
17:34So what do you think about the waterfront?
17:37This is beautiful.
17:38This beach is really amazing.
17:41So what do you think about the main house?
17:43I'm in love with the house, really.
17:44How is the cottage tour?
17:46The cottages are a lot.
17:47It's going to be a huge venture.
17:49They need a lot of work and money.
17:51200,000 over the budget.
17:52So we have to think about it.
17:54But I do actually see our kids enjoying this property.
17:57Yes.
17:57We have three beautiful properties to think about it.
18:01Give us a little bit of time and we'll be back.
18:02We'll be there if you need me.
18:07So here we are again making another big life decision.
18:11Yeah.
18:11It's beautiful, huh?
18:12Yeah.
18:13So let's talk about the properties.
18:14Let's talk about the vintage inn.
18:15What did you like?
18:16I love the piece of land.
18:17Like the main building that we would use for the business is beautiful.
18:22Like a character home.
18:23For our house in the back, this gives us privacy we want.
18:27Mm-hmm.
18:28The business needs to be established in this house.
18:30Yeah.
18:30There's lots of possibilities for the land.
18:33The only thing that is missing on it is the water view.
18:35I like the price.
18:361.1 million.
18:38Let's talk about the rustic cabins.
18:40Yeah.
18:40It's an established business.
18:42The potential to expand more cabins.
18:44So the house, it's open concept.
18:46I don't love that the house that we're going to be living in isn't winterized.
18:50So we can't run it all year.
18:52The price is 1.3 million.
18:55So the last property, the beach retreat.
18:58Are you ready for taking on 55 guests in a time?
19:01It's a big deal.
19:03It's open.
19:04It's airy.
19:05It's got two bedrooms.
19:07The privacy is gone because the house is right in the middle.
19:10So the cottages are around.
19:11Cottages, they're a little bit updated.
19:14They're not our style.
19:17The price, 2.2 million, 200,000 over the budget.
19:20I know which property I can see our family in.
19:23And I know which investment is the best for our family.
19:26Are we crazy?
19:27We are crazy.
19:29Cheers.
19:29We are ready for it.
19:32We took the plunge.
19:33We got the beach retreat.
19:35The house is perfect for us.
19:37The business is a great adventure.
19:38We couldn't be happier.
19:40We love it.
19:41The property was listed at 2.2 million.
19:44Of course I offered 2 million to stay in the budget.
19:47But then we learned that there was competing offers.
19:50We didn't want to miss out.
19:51So we bought it for 2.2.
19:53We've been here for two months.
19:55And it's been crazy.
19:56We've got two more to do before 3 o'clock check-in.
19:58It's just been a lot of learning.
20:00Every day we meet new people.
20:02And our first guest was really special.
20:04She actually came here 46 years ago when she was pregnant with her son.
20:09And her and her son stayed in the cottages this time.
20:12It was just really special.
20:14We have big plans.
20:15We want to put some hot tubs in.
20:16Some saunas.
20:17We just love it here.
20:18And we just want to keep putting new energy in every year.
20:23Our boys love it here.
20:24The freedom.
20:25The colleague of the beach property.
20:27We have so much fun here.
20:28They learn so much.
20:30We've been spending a lot of time on the beach.
20:32Come on Sansa.
20:33Run.
20:34They go surfing.
20:35They go swimming.
20:36Their adventures are endless here.
20:39This property is perfect for us.
20:41To be all the time on the beach.
20:43To the good life.
20:44Cheers.
20:44Cheers.
