00:06I always love clients bringing us a new challenge.
00:08Always? Do you?
00:09Well, you know, it depends what the challenge is.
00:12Garrett and Malia, two boys, sounds like a fun family.
00:15Well, they want four bedrooms.
00:16Yeah.
00:16And that's pretty much all we know.
00:18No. Location, location, location.
00:21All that matters.
00:22It's always location, location, location.
00:32And that's a klein wealth.
00:34Oh, I don't even know.
00:46When you look at the картон side of the, these lines are pretty hard.
00:55Geez to meet them.
00:57The only moment where the beauty is that we're gonna miss.
00:58it's very passionate about our concert.
00:58I love !
01:16We are in Redondo Beach in the South Bay of Los Angeles.
01:21I grew up in Hawaii and being near the beach and the ocean is so important to me.
01:26I grew up in Colorado, which is a completely different environment.
01:29Came out here for school and met Malia and we've been in the South Bay ever since.
01:34All right, and we just saw your son take a big face plant.
01:39That's normal.
01:41So our first home we purchased in Lawndale, which is still part of the South Bay, but a little bit
01:46further inland.
01:47Plenty of space for us and one child, but we're looking for some more space.
01:53Selling it, we had, I think, what, 14, 15 offers.
01:58Well above asking.
01:59100 over asking price.
02:01But then we soon realized that we had to now be in the other position and now be a buyer
02:06in such a crazy market.
02:08Yeah, so we've been renting for months now.
02:11It is tough just knowing that we're paying rent when we could be investing it into a home.
02:17It's been month after month and weekend after weekend just searching and searching and here we are.
02:23We need help.
02:32We're definitely at our wit's end just kind of managing the process.
02:36And so I think the brothers who can kind of help us see the things that maybe we can't see
02:41to kind of get us across the finish line would be huge.
02:44We're not interrupting a romantic picnic in the park, are we?
02:47Hey, what's up?
02:49Hello.
02:49How are you doing?
02:50How's it going?
02:50Good to see you.
02:51It's good to see you.
02:51Hey, John.
02:52We needed some help and you guys popped up.
02:54You know, we just came to play.
02:56Tic-Tac-Toe?
02:57I am good at everything.
02:58Yes.
02:59And very competitive.
03:00Actually, the one thing he's not good at, family feud, we discovered.
03:03Terrible.
03:04Excuse me.
03:05It was me accidentally.
03:08Well, give me a little lowdown.
03:09What is it you're looking for?
03:10What kind of a house?
03:11What are your needs before we talk about the wish list of niceties?
03:15Sure.
03:16So we have two boys, six and three.
03:18So we're looking for enough space to fit us all.
03:21We both work from home.
03:22So I would say four bedroom backyard is big for me.
03:26And we're like this area.
03:27We have a lot of friends who live close by as well with similar age groups.
03:31Yeah.
03:31All the schools in Redondo Beach are great.
03:34A lot of people come to Redondo Beach because of the school system.
03:38Absolutely.
03:38It's a big reason of why we're looking as thick in the South Bay.
03:42The beach doesn't hurt as well.
03:43I mean, that's a nice bonus on top, the cherry on top.
03:46Yeah.
03:46You really want to be in this area.
03:47I love the beach.
03:48I love the beach life.
03:49I need the salts.
03:51But it all depends on budget, right?
03:52And what you're looking for.
03:53Yeah.
03:54And if you've got to stretch the budget a little bit, you might have to go a little further
03:56outside of exactly where you want for schools.
03:58Right.
03:59Because you're paying so much for the area, not just for the house and the lot itself.
04:02It doesn't need to be move-in ready.
04:03I think we're willing to put in the work.
04:05We thought we'd have a home by now.
04:08Much, much sooner.
04:09But again, like getting out bid, there's so many families looking and we're just...
04:13Yeah.
04:13People are willing to go well over asking price.
04:17You guys are already aware of how challenging the search is going to be.
04:21Yeah.
04:22Yeah.
04:22Yeah.
04:22And if we show you a house that's not exactly what we want, no beaching and complaining about
04:25it.
04:26We have one lined up today.
04:28It's just a few minutes from here if you want to hop in with us.
04:30Awesome.
04:31Let's do it.
04:34For home budget, I would say with the sale of our last home, we've been looking around
04:391.5.
04:40I would say we're comfortable going up to about 1.75 for the right house.
04:45But...
04:46Sorry.
04:46I don't think...
04:47Wait.
04:481.75?
04:49You think?
04:50For the right community?
04:52We'd have...
04:52It would be...
04:52It would put a stretch on us and it would...
04:59Maybe like 1.7.
05:00Yes.
05:05It's just a crazy market.
05:07It's so competitive in the South Bay area because there's nothing out there.
05:11Yeah.
05:11This house, it's not South Bay, but it's 15 minutes to the beach.
05:14That's not bad.
05:15It's a very cute neighborhood.
05:16So if you're looking for a good family neighborhood, tons of kids, amazing access to schools.
05:23It's right there.
05:24I see it.
05:24That would be convenient.
05:25Perfect.
05:26Perfect.
05:26But what I do like, so you've got a nice big sized lot.
05:29It's a cornered lot.
05:30I like the cornered lot.
05:31Yeah.
05:31One less noisy neighbor.
05:33This is listed for 159.
05:35So it's really a good price.
05:37I think you could get it down from that as well.
05:39Okay.
05:39Put in some money into it and just make it exactly what you want.
05:42So I assume the competition's a little less compared to some of the areas we've been looking at.
05:46Exactly.
05:46We can get the price down a little bit on this.
05:48Yeah.
05:48It's been on the market a little bit.
05:49Mm-hmm.
05:50I don't know.
05:51I'm trying to read it.
05:52So right now I'm thinking you're not sold on this house.
05:55There's no beach.
05:56I just don't know this area very well, to be quite honest.
05:59It's just, yeah, different from what we've looked at so far.
06:01But hey, I'm open to anything at this point.
06:04Yes, this is further from the beach, but in reality, this is showing you how much more your dollar
06:07can stretch.
06:08That's fair.
06:08Think of how easy your mornings would be.
06:11It would be quite easy.
06:12That's true.
06:12A cup of coffee, go across the street.
06:13Walk yourself to school, kids.
06:15Just look both ways.
06:16Yeah.
06:18Go in.
06:18Take a look around.
06:20All right.
06:21You walk straight into a closet.
06:23Yeah, watch the walls.
06:24They'll hit you in the face.
06:25I like a grand entrance, and that's...
06:28Do me a favor.
06:28Can you have some grand vision?
06:30Yes.
06:30I will try.
06:31This has all of your square footage on one level.
06:33Is this a four-bedroom?
06:35Four-bed, two-bath, 2,050 square feet.
06:37Yeah.
06:38In fact, with the price that you'd be able to get this house, you could even raise the ceiling
06:42heights and take the full height of the attic space.
06:45Hey, you know what that would do?
06:46That would give a grand entrance.
06:48It would be a grand entrance.
06:51Look how far back this goes.
06:53It's big, and it's all...
06:55This is one of the bedrooms.
06:56This is kind of weird.
06:57Yeah.
06:57Between your living room and kitchen, you have a bedroom where it's disconnected.
07:00Yeah, that keeps going.
07:01Is this a bonus office here?
07:02Yes.
07:03Okay.
07:04Yeah.
07:04I mean, that's obviously something that we definitely need.
07:07Office is great.
07:09Come on to the kitchen when you get a second.
07:11First thoughts on this kitchen.
07:13Okay.
07:13I mean, it's all very plain.
07:15It's a little small, but at least it kind of is a bit more open.
07:20Yeah.
07:20I mean, this is the family room over here.
07:22Yeah.
07:22Because you have a second living space, you could have that as your formal living or whatever
07:26you want.
07:27The idea of expanding the kitchen over here could be a great thing, but in reality, it's
07:30nice, especially when you have two little kids, to have two separate living areas.
07:33I mean, it's a little hospital-y, but yes, I think it has something to...
07:38That's because it's white on white on white right now.
07:41There's so many houses that are renovated, but you're paying a fortune, but it's not
07:44the way you would have renovated it.
07:46Right.
07:46Yeah.
07:46They've literally just done a really quick fix to paint cabinets white and painted the
07:50original tile countertops to sink.
07:52I want you to see past the current stage and see what's potential.
07:57Renovated, these are a gold mine.
08:00You do realize this house, exactly as it is in your perfect ideal neighborhood, that area
08:05you want to be, is probably $300,000 more.
08:07I know.
08:08As is, right?
08:09Sure.
08:09If this, if this were in the South Bay, I would be like, yes, let's do it.
08:14Let's go.
08:14I think that's where I'm, I'm hesitant.
08:16We trust you fully, Jonathan, but I'm trying to picture it.
08:19I'm not quite sure.
08:21And so it's, you know, how many concessions do we want to kind of make in the process?
08:25Let's look at the rest of the house.
08:26I mean, let's look outside to the garage.
08:28Definitely curious.
08:28I think inside it is a blank canvas.
08:30We could make this anything.
08:31Okay.
08:33This is the enclosed porch.
08:35It doesn't look great from the outside, but it is actually pretty big.
08:38You've got a nice yard space back here.
08:40You've got a great area here for a patio.
08:42And then the garage does have access from the alley.
08:45No, I, I appreciate you guys bringing us out here and trying to kind of expand the areas
08:49in that we're, we're looking, because we've been looking for about a year now.
08:52And we've struck out in Palos Verdes and Torrance and some of the other South Bay areas.
08:56So I could definitely see what you see in, in the home and kind of the, the canvas that it
09:01is.
09:01But if this were in the South Bay, I would, I would say, yes, let's go for it right now.
09:08It's, it's a little out of my, out of our bubble.
09:10Wait, you keep going back to this.
09:11So it's not an option.
09:13Yeah.
09:14Jonathan and I are going to try to find some places, but we have been looking and it's really hard.
09:18We're looking for the diamond in the rough.
09:19Something that can at least take a little bit of renovation and make it clean and livable for you.
09:23Because within your budget, we just can't find a lot.
09:26This is tough.
09:26I really have to hone in and try and figure out where we can find them houses to look at
09:31in the South Bay area.
09:32You know, it's just, you know, with prime location, you're putting more money in.
09:37And when that one property pops up, we've got to be ready to pounce on it.
09:40Otherwise they're going to be in the exact same boat they've been over the last year.
09:43Keep missing out, right?
09:55Thanks for being patient, you guys.
09:57Like we said, houses don't come in the market very often in this area.
10:00Yeah.
10:00But I think we found a contender.
10:02The fact that you found a place in Redondo Beach, honestly.
10:05I love it.
10:06Isn't it over here?
10:07Wow.
10:08It's beautiful.
10:09Yeah.
10:09Tada.
10:10Wow.
10:12Pretty cute.
10:13Welcome.
10:14Great curb appeal.
10:15It looks awesome.
10:16I mean, it looks big.
10:17We didn't know this street existed.
10:19What's your first impression?
10:21Honestly, yeah.
10:21There's trees.
10:22This is awesome.
10:22It's quiet.
10:23It's almost like it's made up.
10:24They're walking their cute little golden retriever.
10:27Hi.
10:28And it's got beach.
10:29We're in Dreamland.
10:30And it's got beach.
10:31You guys are like beaming ear to ear.
10:34You like this area.
10:34I can tell.
10:36The beach is just a straight shot down.
10:38The kids park that we always go to is walking distance.
10:42Yeah, it's this crazy little pocket that we never knew of.
10:45This place here, 1965.
10:47It has 2,100 square feet.
10:50Four bedrooms, three bathrooms.
10:51Keeps you in the same school district that you want to be in.
10:54Yeah.
10:54I don't know if we can afford this.
10:57It's listed at 1.4, so it's under your max budget.
10:59Wow.
10:59However, it has had a lot of work done.
11:01It's not going to sell for 1.4.
11:03Yeah.
11:04Understood.
11:04So it was like dangling this carrot.
11:07I know.
11:07They listed intentionally low.
11:09Yeah.
11:09Yeah.
11:09I mean, what would you say it's likely going to go for?
11:11It would probably go a couple hundred thousand above at least.
11:14Yeah.
11:14But if you like it and we want to put an offer in, then we also can just find out
11:17how many
11:17offers there are, and that helps us understand the interest.
11:20Right.
11:20Let's get inside.
11:21Let's do it.
11:22After you.
11:23All right.
11:24Wow.
11:26Wow.
11:27All right.
11:28Office.
11:28We've got the office space in there.
11:30Yeah.
11:31Gastroom.
11:31Family room to the left.
11:33Nice family room.
11:33A lot of space.
11:33Or a kid room.
11:35Especially having two little kids.
11:36It makes so much sense having a separate space that they can go and yell and scream in.
11:40Yeah.
11:40We've got a three-year-old.
11:42And then around this wall, there's living area, dining area.
11:44Wow.
11:45Look at this flow.
11:46Nice.
11:47Another big space.
11:48Yeah, wow.
11:48Kitchen not so big, but would this work for you?
11:50It's a little bit tight.
11:52Probably a little darker than I would.
11:53Dark.
11:54I would do myself.
11:55But it's...
11:56I mean, it seems like it's been recently updated.
11:57I mean, this is...
11:59This is doable.
11:59I mean, you can easily move in.
12:01This is a giant space.
12:02I mean, they're probably using this as a kids' play area, but all the furniture is
12:05over on that side.
12:06Oh, wow.
12:06Yeah.
12:06This is a great space.
12:07Yeah.
12:07It's a lot of space.
12:09Yeah.
12:09You could still have a dining table here.
12:11Yeah.
12:11And then expand into a beautiful big kitchen with an island.
12:14Yeah.
12:14I love the ceilings.
12:15The natural wood.
12:17The natural wood on top.
12:18What's your gut reaction here?
12:20Is this a house you would say, yes, we could live in this?
12:23100%.
12:23Yeah.
12:24I think there's a couple things that we might change or not have different preferences for,
12:28but it seems like you can move in right away.
12:30The fundamentals of everything we want.
12:32Well, so you don't have much of a yard, so...
12:33Yeah.
12:34So that...
12:34When I was looking at the listing photos, I noticed the yard was a little tight in the
12:38back.
12:38Is that okay for you guys?
12:40Yeah.
12:40As long as there's a place for the kids to play, I think the front yard is fine.
12:44It's fine.
12:44I'll be right back.
12:45This is the listing agent calling.
12:46Okay.
12:48Even the floor.
12:49So these are...
12:51Hi.
12:52This is Danielle.
12:53Oh, hi.
12:54I just wanted to give you a heads-up.
12:56I think you said you had some people at the Redondo listing today.
13:00I'm literally in the house right now.
13:01Yeah.
13:02Listen, it's really unfortunate.
13:05The house just sold.
13:12The owners accepted a bully offer about an hour ago.
13:16No conditions.
13:18A little frustrating because we're literally here at the house.
13:22I actually think my clients would put an offer in on this.
13:24I wish I could have given you more time.
13:26What did it sell for?
13:27As soon as I found out.
13:28It went for a 1.615.
13:31All calves and a quick close.
13:34A bully offer is basically when somebody comes in with a really strong offer.
13:37It's clean.
13:38You don't have a bunch of conditions.
13:40They'd rather just pay more now to get it.
13:42Especially in a market like Redondo Beach, which is extremely sought after.
13:45Oh, this is lovely.
13:47This is lovely.
13:48Yeah, it's just frustrating because they literally know we're looking at the house.
13:52Why would you not let us at least bring an offer forward?
13:56Hey, guys.
13:57Yeah.
13:57Hey, come on in for a sec.
13:58Yeah.
13:59Hey, really frustrating news, actually.
14:01I just spoke with a listing agent.
14:03Yeah.
14:04They sold the house.
14:05What?
14:05No.
14:06Like, it's gone.
14:07Yeah, it's a firm sale.
14:09Let a bully offer come in.
14:10It was very high.
14:10It sold for over 1.6.
14:12It's gone.
14:13But that still would have been...
14:14I mean, I would have said if you guys were going to do an offer, it would be around 1
14:17.6.
14:18That's a good price.
14:19Yeah, we could counter that.
14:19But for them to take that without even looking for competing.
14:22It's frustrating, but it's the homeowner's decision to make, right?
14:24Wow.
14:25There's like nothing.
14:26There's nothing we can do.
14:27No, and there's no conditions to fall through.
14:29So, it's gone.
14:30The house is gone.
14:31There's no point touring the rest of this house.
14:33So, okay.
14:34It's ridiculous.
14:35We weren't even given a chance to make a offer.
14:38So, I'm sorry, but it's like we've been giving everything up.
14:42We've been rushing to see these showings, and we didn't even get a chance.
14:47It's frustrating to finally feel like you're making a little bit of progress in the search,
14:51only to have it dangled in front of you and then pulled back.
14:53So, back to square one.
15:07In a market like this, in this area that's so hot, you want to be the person who gets
15:12in and sees the listing before it's even up.
15:14They love this neighborhood, and I was literally just knocking on doors.
15:17I talked to a couple of agents in the area, and I talked to a couple of neighbors that came
15:20out, and they said,
15:21well, I think so-and-so's looking to sell.
15:23And that's all it was.
15:34I think it's kind of hilarious that you're looking out the window right here at the house that they really
15:38fell in love with.
15:39These sellers have been here for a while.
15:40They saw the house across the street listed and started thinking about selling themselves.
15:45They just haven't put it up yet, and I hopefully can get this locked down before it actually goes up.
15:50Hello.
15:51Deja vu.
15:51I know.
15:53This looks familiar.
15:54Right?
15:55Yeah.
15:55I mean, that house is still not available, so just, you know.
15:58Okay.
15:58But this one is.
15:59Wow.
16:00I like the yard.
16:01It's a cute little garden.
16:02It's a nice-sized corner lot.
16:04It has four bedrooms, two bathrooms.
16:06It's just over 2,000 square feet.
16:08Okay.
16:09They're letting us in.
16:10We're going to have a peek.
16:11It's supposed to be listed for 1.325, which is well under market value.
16:15I don't want to waste any time.
16:17It's in this neighborhood, so.
16:18It's in this neighborhood.
16:19Hey, you know what?
16:20If you do like it, let's work that bully thing in our favor, because we can just say,
16:24here's our best and final.
16:25What do you think?
16:26All right.
16:27You want to get inside?
16:27Sure.
16:28Come on.
16:28I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but yes.
16:30Have you ever lived in a split level before?
16:32Um, I don't even know what that is.
16:34You'll see them when we walk inside.
16:36It's not just one flat level.
16:38Come on in.
16:39Ah, yes.
16:39Yeah, the stairs split as soon as you come in.
16:41Okay.
16:42So we go down to like a sunken living room area.
16:44Okay.
16:44And then up to the bedrooms and whatnot.
16:46It's an interesting layout.
16:48I wouldn't know what to do with the space.
16:50Don't get scared just because of the stairs.
16:52Overall, this house is pretty great.
16:55Carpets.
16:56Interesting.
16:57That looks like that's been there a while.
16:59Yeah.
16:59You have cheap carpet up on the stairs, tile at the front, and then you have this flooring
17:03here.
17:03It looks like an engineered hardwood maybe.
17:05Yeah.
17:05Yeah.
17:06You could swap out all the floors, obviously.
17:08I would get rid of the carpet.
17:09Yeah.
17:09This has the wooden exposed beams that I like, space for the kids.
17:15But you don't have a second living space or family room in this house like you do across
17:20the street.
17:21Yes.
17:22Would need to figure out storage for all their stuff.
17:24But I think a lot of the rooms are actually going to feel a little bit bigger.
17:27Like even the kitchen over here.
17:28This is a lot bigger than what you're working with across the way.
17:32It's a little cramped.
17:34The kids could easily just get stuck.
17:36You know it's cramped.
17:37When you're putting these little like baby bumpers at my head level, you know it's cramped.
17:41But the house has a nice big footprint here for the kitchen area.
17:45There's one bedroom downstairs, which you could use as an office.
17:47It's actually pretty big.
17:48Okay.
17:48Upstairs, three bedrooms, one bathroom.
17:51That would give us plenty of space.
17:53I mean, I think this is perfect.
17:55Garrett would love this.
17:56Look at this yard.
17:57Wow.
17:58And this is exactly what we've been wanting in a backyard.
18:02It feels like a little vacation spot.
18:04Yeah.
18:04How are you feeling?
18:05Because you don't look like you're as sold in this house as you were across the street.
18:08Yeah, I mean it's a lot of work inside.
18:11But honestly, now that you've brought me out here, we've got plenty of space for the kids.
18:16Yeah.
18:17I need to talk to Garrett.
18:19But I think at this point, I mean, we'd love to be the ones to get ahead and actually put
18:24in an offer.
18:25Before it goes on the market?
18:26Yeah.
18:27Yeah.
18:28If you can get Garrett on a video call right now, show him the place.
18:31I really think if you're going to put an offer in, we need to be able to tell them right
18:34away.
18:34Okay.
18:34The houses here sell fast.
18:36Yeah.
18:36So good luck.
18:39Hey.
18:39Hi.
18:40All right.
18:40Do you want to see this place?
18:42Yeah.
18:43All right.
18:44I'll give you a little tour.
18:47I don't want to get our hopes up because the house right across the street sold for 1.6, over
18:531.6.
18:54So very easily they could say, no, we want to wait and see how much this house goes for.
18:58But if the listing agent is being honest with their client, a split-level home is not as valuable as
19:04a typical layout for most families.
19:05And so that means that this house should not sell for the same amount that the one across the street
19:09did.
19:09That's a big room.
19:10It's a big, huge room.
19:12You could put a dining table here.
19:14You could have a massive kitchen expanded.
19:17And then this wall, you could open up and have, like, instead of this table, you could have a breakfast
19:22bar seating that opens to the main area here.
19:25Okay.
19:25I'm just saying, from my little experience, but your dollar will stretch a lot further with this renovation than other
19:32ones where you need a lot more structural work.
19:33I definitely trust you.
19:35When we saw that last house and saw that neighborhood, I can't stop thinking about that neighborhood.
19:40I can't lose another one.
19:42Yeah.
19:42No, I agree.
19:43I think we need to offer what we need to to stick out.
19:47I feel 1.5 might be enough to stimulate their interest.
19:52Does that leave us some room to then, I guess, address some of the things we clung out in the
19:56kitchen?
19:57Well, you said you'd be willing to go up to 1.7 to make it perfect.
20:00200 grand is going to give you what you need for the renovation.
20:03I think at this point, like, we've put in enough offers and lost out.
20:06I'm definitely ready for us to find our place.
20:09I'm going to write the offer up now.
20:11We'll get it over to them right away.
20:12And I'm going to call them right now because I want them to know it's coming.
20:14Okay.
20:15Okay.
20:16Let's do it.
20:16We got this.
20:18I am trying my best not to envision our future here.
20:23But at the same time, you have to be, you know, you have to be envisioning your future if you're
20:27willing to put in your entire life savings.
20:30So we walked through the property.
20:32My clients love it.
20:34I mean, it's a great neighborhood.
20:35It's a great home.
20:36We want to put an offer in.
20:38The home itself, like, it definitely needs a little work, the stairs, the kitchen, but it has everything that we
20:47need.
20:48But this isn't your dream home.
20:52Yeah, I can't call it a dream home.
20:55I think if we were to figure out the kitchen and the flow of all that, that would be big
21:02for us.
21:03They just want to come in with the absolute best they can afford.
21:08And they want to make an offer at 1.5.
21:12We're not worried about conditions.
21:13We're not worried about anything else.
21:15They just want to get settled into a home with the kids.
21:18I just hope that we can actually get our offer in and make a deal before this goes in the
21:22market
21:22because this will be the exact same situation as across the street.
21:25Multiple offers.
21:26It's going to go for well above list.
21:41Hello?
21:42Hey, it's Drew.
21:43How you doing?
21:44Hi.
21:45Doing well.
21:45How are you?
21:46Oh, I'm great.
21:47And you will be much better once you hear what I'm calling about.
21:51Okay.
21:51What's up?
21:52The one time being a bully pays off.
21:55You got the house.
21:56Stop.
21:57You're joking.
21:58Are you joking?
21:59No.
21:59I'm not joking.
21:59I would not joke about this.
22:00I know how stressful this has been.
22:02Oh, my gosh.
22:04I literally just got the text from the listing agent.
22:07So, congratulations.
22:08You got a house.
22:10Thank you so much.
22:12Okay.
22:12I'll talk to you soon.
22:13Thanks, Drew.
22:14We're here.
22:18Lee and Garrett have signed off on Drew's plan for the kitchen.
22:21So, we have our breakfast bar going in here.
22:23Okay.
22:24So, blow through this wall so you can really see it open.
22:27Peninsula there.
22:28There's no room for an island.
22:29Right.
22:30And then building in a nook in the corner,
22:32that's a good use of that space there.
22:33And this is going to be a new window,
22:35so we're going to cut out the window
22:36where your breakfast nook is.
22:39That's my hope is having as much light coming through as possible,
22:41because right now it does feel very closed off and janky with the staircase.
22:44Yeah, we are eliminating the fireplace.
22:47That'll give us way more options for storage and furniture layout.
22:50The only issue is right now,
22:52which maybe we need to talk to Malia about,
22:55the bottleneck here at the front door,
22:56we would get that rail out of there,
22:58one big step across here.
23:01It'll invite people in to the living room,
23:03and then we've got space to do whatever we want over here.
23:07Okay.
23:07Continue on with demo?
23:09Yeah, let's do it.
23:24All right, hey, we have company.
23:26Hello.
23:27Hello.
23:28Good timing.
23:28Well, hello.
23:29I think we need to talk a little.
23:32Talk a little finish?
23:33Yeah.
23:34You got the house.
23:35So big celebration in order for that,
23:38but that's only the start of this journey,
23:40because we have a lot of work to do in a very short period of time.
23:44Right.
23:44First of all, we need to know, what are your priorities?
23:46I mean, we love to see it beautiful and nicely designed,
23:51but I think our number one priority is just function.
23:54Sorry, did you just eye roll when you said that?
23:56I trust that you will make it beautiful.
23:58That's why I'm not worried about that,
24:00but for us, it's just like function, kids, clutter, chaos.
24:04Like, bleh.
24:05We've got a decent amount of stuff.
24:06Okay.
24:06I'd say it's a lot of kids' stuff.
24:07We have so many things we can't even, we don't even know.
24:09Yeah, we've started to put some stuff in the garage that's set aside,
24:12sort of like, how can we tuck some of that away?
24:15It's just like constant clutter.
24:17We just need good storage space.
24:19Storage is obviously a good thing.
24:21We're doing all new cabinetry in the kitchen.
24:23Right.
24:23We're looking at different options of what we can do,
24:25and the idea of tucking a bankette into the corner is really cool.
24:29Well, guess what?
24:30That gives you room for a tall pantry cabinet
24:32with way more storage to help with clutter,
24:34all while blending seamlessly into the overall design.
24:37And to bring in some new light,
24:39we can install a new window above the bankette.
24:42The bench seating plays double duty
24:43with large drawer storage tucked underneath.
24:46Anywhere we can get extra cabinets would be great.
24:48Awesome.
24:49Let's utilize every square inch possible
24:52so that everything's nice and clean.
24:53Yes.
24:54Cool.
24:54You've got dead space under the stairs.
24:55We can open that up, put flooring in,
24:58add some shelves and baskets to keep shoes organized,
25:01and a door to keep things looking neat and tidy.
25:03That sounds good.
25:04We can also consult with a professional organizer
25:06to help sort and manage some of the chaos.
25:09All right.
25:09Let's do it.
25:10From an aesthetic standpoint,
25:11keeping in mind that we're going to look at all durable products,
25:14do you see anything here that jumps out to you?
25:17I'm personally, like, a cleaner look,
25:19so I like the ones that, like, are a little bit simpler.
25:23I think, in general, we like more natural-looking tones.
25:27Yeah.
25:27I don't mind a little texture.
25:29I like the clean, but, like, I would probably lean towards this.
25:31So you like this kind of realm here with some veining in it?
25:33Yeah.
25:34Okay.
25:34Here, give us a little, like, pull through there and have a little look.
25:38Tell us wall color, what you're thinking, and then for accents in this space.
25:41Oh, wall color.
25:41Oh, wall color.
25:42Go for both.
25:43It's like a test.
25:43Nobody likes looking through a fan deck under pressure.
25:46I know.
25:47This is a lot.
25:48I'm probably white on the walls.
25:51Yeah, yeah.
25:52Very light.
25:52Very light.
25:53Light and bright with the walls.
25:55Like, cabinet, I wouldn't necessarily want a dark cabinet,
25:58but I do like these kind of blues and greens all in a row.
26:03Not heavy dark.
26:05It's farmhouse coastal.
26:07Did we make that up?
26:09There could be farmhouses on the water.
26:10Because he's, you know, Colorado, farmhouse, Hawaii, coastal.
26:14We can put that in the design.
26:16But I would say, like, we do love the beach.
26:19So things that can kind of bring that coastal beach feel.
26:23I mean, we can also do real stone in the entry.
26:25We can even do a terrazzo.
26:27We can do, you know, a little of anything.
26:29We'll pull it together and then we'll see which things actually work together.
26:32Cool.
26:32Okay.
26:33And above all else, storage.
26:35Yes.
26:36Yes.
26:36Okay.
26:37Yes.
26:56I don't know a single person alive who has ever not heard the saying, storage is key.
27:02You can't have enough storage.
27:03We have a family of four.
27:05They have a family of four.
27:05I know how much a family of four needs for storage.
27:08And as the kids get bigger, the needs only get greater.
27:11I just think that you can't have enough closets.
27:14We'll frame it out and we'll just make it just like a couple of adjustable shelves or something.
27:19But we're in pretty good shape.
27:20We've got the fireplace.
27:21Close this up.
27:22Yeah, ready.
27:22So that all came off pretty good.
27:24Electrical's done.
27:25I wonder if we, because we're capping.
27:27Yeah, we'll cap off on top.
27:29At the top of the chimney.
27:30I'm wondering if, I mean, if there's any chance of a draft or anything coming down,
27:35I would still insulate in this section as well, just behind the drywall.
27:39Just a little.
27:40A little bit of rigid.
27:41Well, we got insulation.
27:42So we could do that.
27:43That's not a problem.
27:45So this is just going to be blank wall smart work.
27:47Yeah.
27:4831 inches.
27:49Mm-hmm.
27:51It's not often that we actually get rid of a fireplace without putting another one back.
27:56So it'll just be a drywall corner.
27:59This is a smart use of this space.
28:00The way it was configured wasn't optimal.
28:02And this just gives them so much better use for seating over here.
28:07Way more options for how to do the furniture.
28:13I know this has been a stressful process.
28:15They've looked at a ton of houses.
28:16They've lost out.
28:17They had their hopes up and they were crushed.
28:19So it's important for us to get them in there.
28:20These guys went through hell and back to find a home.
28:24So I just want them to be super happy.
28:44Hi, guys.
28:44Oh, hey.
28:45How's it going?
28:45Your timing could literally not have been more perfect.
28:48Great to see you.
28:49Good to see you.
28:49Good to see you.
28:49Good to see you again.
28:50Good to see you.
28:51Um, this is...
28:52Welcome to the party.
28:53Have you seen the chaos in the garage and all the stuff?
28:56I've seen the chaos and I've seen some photos from the rental.
28:59Okay.
28:59I'm here to help sort through and edit all of the toys
29:01and figure out what is the right system that is easily maintained.
29:04Something that's functional but also beautiful.
29:06It has to look great with the design.
29:07So we have a lot of options.
29:08There's space over there that we could put a cabinet.
29:11The one category that's probably going to be pretty big is arts and crafts.
29:14Yeah.
29:14And that doesn't always look beautiful.
29:16Yeah.
29:16So if we can have cabinetry just to contain paint and things like that.
29:20Yeah.
29:20You know what, because we don't really have what I'm thinking.
29:22We don't want that in the pantry.
29:24One idea to keep it aesthetically pleasing is to use an opaque woven basket to contain
29:28all of the toys.
29:29It's functional and looks great.
29:32For arts and crafts, an acrylic turntable.
29:34With separate compartments for paint brushes, markers and crayons.
29:38And it's clear so you can see what goes where.
29:41And labeled jars for supplies.
29:43So the kids know where stuff goes when you kindly ask them to clean up after themselves.
29:49Even as a grown-up, I can't remember where everything's supposed to go.
29:51But we have it all beautifully labeled.
29:53And then every time we're refilling, it's so easy.
29:55Yes.
29:56My job is to make sure that the system is flawless.
29:58It can be maintained long after I'm gone.
30:01And that the whole family can use it.
30:20During the tours, Malia kept saying how she wants the entrance to have some sort of visual interest
30:25that just welcomes you in and drops the jaw.
30:29And I think we can do that with this house.
30:31I mean, a terrazzo floor in there would be stunning.
30:33They would absolutely love that.
30:34But also, I think the right railing can help open that up a bit.
30:38Something visual that pulls you into the space and makes you feel welcome,
30:41that's what you want to have.
30:46Way better.
30:47Oh, did I not get low enough?
30:48Oh, that works.
30:49Hold on a sec.
30:49Let me give it a little kick.
30:51Good morning.
30:52Boink!
30:53Boink!
30:53What's happening?
30:54Yo, making some nice clean...
30:56I mean, the hardwood should run all the way in here.
30:58That's...hey, hey.
30:59I made the executive decision to remove that stud,
31:02so we just run the hardwood all the way in.
31:04Do you want instead to do the tile?
31:07I think we're light on tile, so...
31:10Well, we're done with tile, right?
31:10Because the tile's finished.
31:11Yeah.
31:14But I'll clean this up, Drew.
31:16Oh, guys.
31:17Hold on.
31:18Hold on.
31:18Hold on.
31:18Hold on.
31:20What's with the...
31:21There's no bullnose or anything.
31:23On the top level.
31:27Hold on.
31:28This is supposed to match the lower level, right?
31:30Well, just...it never looks totally right.
31:35Oh, what's with the pattern?
31:39That does not look good.
31:41What's with this whole blank section?
31:42Yeah, why is it so bare?
31:44That's just the way it came.
31:46That's...oh, yeah.
31:47When they were laying that,
31:49they should've looked at the pattern it was creating.
31:52No, actually, that looks awful.
31:53Oh.
31:54Look at how stark it is here.
31:56Like, this looks good.
31:57They've kind of matched it up, but this...
31:59Even the color looks awful.
32:00They should never have used a blank tile like this.
32:02That should've been off-cut.
32:04Oh, I think that's...
32:05And that's the first thing you see when you walk in.
32:15We ordered this online and I don't remember any of the tiles being half blank.
32:20Hold on.
32:20Let me see.
32:21You said we...do we have any more of the...
32:23I think there's a few pieces of tile left, but not much.
32:28There's three pieces.
32:29We can demo the tile, but Jonathan's asking about a nosing to match this nosing.
32:37So...
32:37All right.
32:39Well, that automatically is better, because you're basically cutting up the stairs.
32:42Yeah, cut this corner right here, like that, and all of a sudden this pattern would blend perfectly with the
32:47other tile.
32:48And then for this, I know we have more of our bullnose in here.
32:52Hold on a sec.
32:53All right, that's over here, Jonathan.
32:54Is it?
32:55Yeah.
32:56So, would we cut the tile back, though, the extra couple of inches?
32:59Yeah.
32:59Which, of course, is not ideal.
33:01Yeah, exactly.
33:02Oh, that looks actually a lot cleaner.
33:03So, that will look a lot better.
33:06It never looks good to have indifferent materials exactly in line with each other.
33:26Don't chip the paint.
33:32Look at your butt.
33:33It looks ridiculous.
33:34Who cares?
33:35Dusty butt.
33:35We need a butt shot.
33:40Tell me the story.
33:42Oh, my God.
33:43All right.
33:44You...
33:44I did not pay for this.
33:53I did not pay for this.
33:53Presley.
33:54Presley, Marlon.
33:55You guys want to come over?
33:56To the boat?
33:57Yeah.
33:58They're, like, so close.
33:59They're, like...
34:01The nettles.
34:02Oh, you thought they were going to crash into each other?
34:03Oh, near collisions?
34:04As you can see from our kids, like, they just love this park.
34:07They love being by the beach.
34:08They love collecting things at the beach.
34:10So, we spent a lot of time out here.
34:12We don't have any family locally, so it has been a lot on us.
34:17It definitely is a bit of an island.
34:20Our jobs are very busy.
34:22We have two kids starting school.
34:24It's certainly a lot these days.
34:26Yeah.
34:27Society's not really made for two working parents and without family around.
34:31And having grown up in Hawaii and having community and family all around,
34:35it was definitely a big shock coming here, but that is also why this area, you know,
34:40it's become our community that we hope to stick around with.
34:45Yeah.
34:58We can see you.
34:59The sunshine is electric.
35:01Walking out to the beach of perfection, looking out at the ocean.
35:06Waves rolled in magical motion.
35:08Clear blue skies
35:10The reason why
35:12We head down south for the tropical light
35:16Ooh, ooh, the hot, hot sun
35:20Laughing, relaxing, and ocean fun
35:25Ooh, ooh, wherever you run
35:30Fast in the glory of ocean fun
35:34There's a surprise here
35:35Because obviously we do the drawer storage all the time
35:38There's secret storage
35:40The base of this table
35:42Oh, awesome
35:43Oh, for arts and crafts stuff
35:44Yeah
35:45Oh, amazing
35:46The extra little organizations
35:48There's going to be a little treat for them
35:50The hot, hot sun
35:54Laughing, relaxing, and ocean fun
35:57The boys are finishing up inside there
35:59So it's just going to be a couple minutes
36:00Are you ready to get into this neighborhood officially?
36:03Yes
36:03Oh, yes
36:04We are ready to get into it
36:05In the neighborhood
36:05And get back to the South Bay
36:08Just, I mean, to start to, like, be settled down
36:12Get to know our neighbors
36:14Whoa, whoa, whoa
36:14Looks like they're ready
36:15Hello, hello
36:16You ready?
36:17Either we're going to absolutely hit the mark
36:20Or you guys are going to see it again
36:21What's up, Dave?
36:22Hello
36:23I'm very, very excited for you guys
36:25We are
36:25We're super excited as well
36:27Look at this smile
36:27I can't even, I don't, I can't even function right now
36:29I mean, in another world
36:31It could have been that house you were moving into
36:34Very true
36:35I know
36:35Very true
36:35I think you picked the better house
36:37I think you did
36:38Tell them
36:38The things that you did not like about this house
36:41Before the layout, the split level
36:43I actually think makes it a more unique and beautiful home
36:46Than some other standard houses in the neighborhood
36:47We're super excited, we cannot wait
36:49Take a deep breath
36:51Let's get you in this house
36:52Yeah
36:52All right, let's check it out
36:53So ready
36:57Step right in
36:58Oh

37:20No
37:21I did not expect this at all
37:22What?
37:23Where are we?
37:24Okay
37:25Are you brain glitching?
37:26I think so
37:27I don't even know what to look at first
37:29What's it taking first
37:30I mean, the stairway
37:31Does have a great look
37:33I mean, what you guys did with it
37:35It looks
37:35I'm shaking
37:36So much better than what it was
37:37Doesn't it look amazing?
37:38Your first impression is so nice
37:41Oh my God
37:44It's so open
37:44This flow of the stairs
37:45To what Jonathan was talking about before
37:47Just opening this up a little bit
37:48Yeah, you didn't really notice coming down
37:51Beautifully
37:51Floors and stairs
37:52What do you think?
37:52Floors are incredible
37:53I love this
37:54At the start
37:55The tile there looks great
37:56Oh my God
37:57We haven't had like a set up
37:58Like a place for the whole family
38:00This is incredible
38:01I honestly
38:02Oh my gosh
38:03What's going through your head right now?
38:03I don't think this is our house
38:04I'm just like
38:05Just the flood of everything
38:07We've been through to get here
38:09Like we have a cuddle couch now
38:11This is nice
38:11We wanted us for the kids
38:13Yeah, the whole family
38:14That feels good
38:15Not only can you cuddle up
38:17But you can cuddle and craft
38:19Oh my gosh
38:20Look at that
38:20Look at that
38:21That's amazing
38:22We know that nothing is more important
38:25For families
38:26Than having storage
38:27Some of it comes
38:29Through furniture
38:30And some of it
38:31Comes through
38:32Better use
38:32Of your existing spaces
38:34Oh my gosh
38:35Look at that
38:35So we've got some baskets
38:36Each of you have a basket for shoes
38:38Storage in there
38:40Oh my gosh
38:40I didn't even notice that coming in
38:41We have kids stuff tucked away and organized
38:44So you can see
38:45You have the trains
38:45You have the cars
38:46Amazing
38:47With the baskets
38:48Oh my gosh
38:49This is real
39:05This was a stressful search for a home
39:07It's not easy
39:08To find a house in this area
39:10I mean so many people we know dream of being in this area
39:12And somehow the stars aligned and you made it happen
39:17Well at first they didn't
39:19Here there's a house
39:20Nope you're not going to have that house
39:22I think we've still been honestly coming to terms with the fact that we got here
39:26In the beach area that we've been wanting
39:30And honestly now that we have a house here as well
39:33It's pretty overwhelming
39:34Oh no now you're going to cry
39:36We've both like we've worked so hard and like we met here in the South Bay
39:41And we don't have our you know family here
39:44That's truly it's us
39:45It's us and the kids
39:47And this is the start of just
39:49Yeah
39:50Our lives
39:53Yeah
39:53And honestly I feel like I've had this like anxiety
39:56In the pit of my stomach for you know 12 months now
40:00And it's just kind of like settled
40:01Yeah
40:02Is honestly incredible
40:03I can't believe it's it's our dream home
40:06Yeah
40:07Like I can't believe you can just see outside
40:09You can literally see all the way through
40:13Yeah
40:13How cool is this breakfast bar
40:15Amazing
40:19Yeah okay I haven't even like soaked this all in yet
40:23Like I love the countertops
40:25It's not too veiny
40:26Is she looking more lovingly at the counter than she is at you
40:30It's okay
40:31I hope it's temporary
40:32Look you matched with the green
40:34I know honestly the color of the cabinets is perfect
40:37It's honestly perfect
40:38Look at this right here
40:41Oh

40:42Mama likes it
40:45You guys have not only what's a beautiful kitchen
40:48But it's packed with technology as well
40:50I love the fact that you're not wasting counter space with your microwave
40:53And storage drawers
40:55Look at all that space
40:57That's crazy
40:58Oh and look at the farmhouse sink
41:01Oh and this is our dishwasher
41:03I didn't even realize
41:04This is a gorgeous kitchen guys
41:07Compared to what was here before
41:08This is like a night and day
41:10I'll actually like cooking now
41:12I know
41:12There are some amazing touches in here
41:15This is like our dining space now
41:17This matches
41:17We've been dreaming of a nook
41:19In the window
41:20There's a window here
41:21This is crazy
41:22So not only did we squeeze in beautiful fridge
41:26Wow
41:27Check out all the storage
41:29Oh my gosh

41:31Talk about amazing
41:33The kids can then choose their drawer just for them

41:55It's great
41:56The natural wood on the floors
41:58The tables
41:59And honestly it feels like roomy
42:02For just kind of being tucked away
42:03It is
42:03It doesn't feel like a little afterthought
42:06You can actually get six people around
42:07It's pretty easy
42:08Yeah
42:08If you were buying this kitchen already finished
42:12It would not be within your budget
42:13Right
42:13Yeah
42:14This is honestly incredible
42:15I don't think I've seen you smile this much
42:17Since I've known you
42:18I love it
42:19I'm in disbelief
42:21Thank you guys
42:22This is honestly more than we could have ever dreamed of
42:25This is crazy
42:27We've been through a lot with our home buying journey
42:31I mean money and living in Southern California
42:34Has always been tough
42:37I am glad that we stuck it up
42:40It is pretty incredible
42:41What kind of aligned together for us to end up here
42:45That anxious feeling is kind of gone
42:46Everything is just so
42:48Well thought out
42:49Yeah
42:49And it's got a nice beach
42:51Yes
42:51Beach feel that we definitely wanted
42:54We met in the South Bay

42:58And it's something I have always dreamt of
43:02And we were never moving again
43:04We met in the South Bay
