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.
00:31Yeah.
00:43Yeah.
00:44Yeah.
00:47Yeah.
00:47Yeah.
00:58I
01:12You guys ready to rock and roll?
01:13Yeah.
01:14All right.
01:15Here we go.
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, 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.
01:31And we've been in the South Bay ever since.
01:34All right.
01:34And we just saw your son take a big face plant.
01:37That's a great start.
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.
01:59A hundred 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.
02:09Yeah, 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.
02:24We 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 Tic-Tac-Toe.
02:56I am good at everything.
02:58Yes.
02:59And very competitive.
03:00Actually, the one thing he's not good at?
03:02Family Feud.
03:03We discovered.
03:03Terrible.
03:04Excuse me.
03:05It was me accidentally.
03:06Yeah.
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.
03:46You 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,
03:55you might have to go a little further outside 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 moving ready.
04:03I think we're willing to put in the work.
04:05We thought we'd have a home by now, much, much sooner.
04:09But again, like getting out bid, there's so many families looking.
04:13And we're just, people are willing to go well over asking price.
04:16You 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.
04:27We 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
04:39about 1.5.
04:40I would say we're comfortable going up to about 1.75 for the right house.
04:46Sorry.
04:46I don't think.
04:47Wait.
04:481.75?
04:49You think?
04:50For the right community?
04:52We'd have, it would be, it would put a stretch on us and it would maybe like 1.7.
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.
05:24It's right there.
05:24I see it.
05:24That would be convenient.
05:25Perfect.
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 1.59.
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
05:46at.
05:46Exactly.
05:46We can get the price down a little bit on this.
05:48It's been on the market a little bit.
05:49Mm-hmm.
05:51I don't know.
05:51I'm trying to read it.
05:52So right now I'm thinking you're not sold on this house.
05:55You're so beach.
05:56I just don't know this area very well, to be quite honest.
05:59Yeah.
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.
06:05But in reality, this is showing you how much more your dollar can stretch.
06:08That's fair.
06:09Think of how easy your mornings would be.
06:11That's true.
06:11It would be quite easy.
06:12A cup of coffee and go across the street.
06:13Walk yourself to school, kids.
06:15Just look both ways.
06:16Yeah.
06:17Yeah.
06:18Go in, take 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.
06:38In 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 just connected.
06:59Yeah, 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 work with.
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 the
07:45way 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 in the 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
08:05area you want to be, is probably $300,000 more.
08:08I know.
08:08As is, right?
08:09Sure.
08:09If 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 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.
08:27Yeah.
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 appreciate you guys bringing us out here and trying to kind of expand the areas
08:49and that 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 can definitely see what you see in the home and kind of the canvas that it is.
09:01If this were in the South Bay, I would say, yes, let's go for it right now.
09:08It'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, something that can at least take a little bit of renovation
09:21to make it clean and livable for you because within your budget, we just can't find a lot.
09:26This is tough.
09:27I 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.
10:06This is it over here.
10:07Wow.
10:08It's beautiful.
10:09Yeah.
10:09Tada.
10:10Wow.
10:12Pretty cute.
10:13Oh my gosh.
10:13Pretty great.
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, I 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.
10:50Wow.
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.
11:04Yeah.
11:04Understood.
11:04So it was like dangling this carrot.
11:07They listed intentionally low.
11:09Yeah.
11:09Yeah.
11:09I mean, what would you say it's likely going to go for?
11:12It would probably go a couple hundred thousand above at least,
11:14but if you like it and we want to put an offer in,
11:16then we also can just find out how many offers there are,
11:18and that helps us understand the interest.
11:20Let's get inside.
11:21All right, let's do it.
11:21Yeah, after you.
11:23Okay.
11:23All right.
11:24Wow.
11:26Wow.
11:27All right.
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.
11:34Our kid room.
11:35Especially having two little kids.
11:36It makes so much sense having a separate space.
11:38Yeah.
11:39They can go and yell and scream in.
11:40Yeah.
11:40We got a three-year-old.
11:42And then around this wall, there's living area, dining area.
11:45Wow.
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.
11:55I mean, it seems like it's been recently updated.
11:57I mean, this is doable.
12:00I mean, you can easily move in.
12:01This is a giant space.
12:02I mean, they're probably using this as a kid's play area,
12:03but all the furniture is over 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.
12:15Kind of the natural wood on top.
12:18Yeah.
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.
12:30It has the fundamentals of everything we want.
12:32Well, so you don't have much of a yard.
12:33Yeah.
12:34So when 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 fenced off.
12:44I'll be right back.
12:45This is the listing agent calling.
12:46Okay.
12:48Even the floor, so these are pre-finished engineers.
12:51Hello.
12:52Hi.
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.
13:03Listen, it's really unfortunate.
13:05The house just sold.
13:12The owners accepted a bully offer about an hour ago.
13:16No conditions.
13:17A 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, it went for a 1.615.
13:31All cash and a quick close.
13:34A bully offer is basically when somebody comes in with a really strong offer.
13:38It's clean.
13:38You don't have a bunch of conditions.
13:40They'd rather just pay more now to get it, especially in a market like Redondo Beach,
13:44which is extremely sought after.
13:45Oh, this 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.
13:59Really frustrating news, actually.
14:01Just 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.
14:09They had a bully offer come in.
14:10It was very high.
14:10It sold for over 1.6.
14:12It's gone.
14:12But 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.
14:18Because that'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.
14:22But 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.
14:27And 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.
14:33Okay.
14:33It'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.
14:41We'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, well, 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
15:37that they really fell in love with.
15:39These sellers have been here for a while.
15:41They 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
15:49goes up.
15:50Hello.
15:51Deja vu.
15:51I know.
15:53This looks familiar.
15:54Right?
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, 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.
16:17In 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.
16:28Try not to get my hopes up, but yes.
16:30Have you ever lived in a split level before?
16:33Um, 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.
16:38Ah, 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 it's been there a while.
16:58Yeah, you have cheap carpet up on the stairs.
17:01Tile at the front.
17:02And then you have this flooring here.
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.
17:14Space for the kids.
17:15But you don't have a second living space or family room in this house
17:19like you do across the street.
17:21Yes.
17:21Would 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.
17:26Like 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,
17:40you 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,
18:14you've got plenty of space for the kids.
18:16Yeah.
18:16I 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.
18:35The houses here sell fast.
18:36Yeah.
18:36So, good luck.
18:38Hey.
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.
18:48Because the house right across the street sold for 1.6, over 1.6.
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
19:03a 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 called out in the
19:56kitchen?
19:57Well, you said you'd be willing to go up to 1.7 to make it perfect.
19:59$200,000 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.
20:15Let's do it.
20:16All right.
20:17We 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.
20:45But it has everything that we need.
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.
21:04They 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.
21:26Multiple 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.
21:48And 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.
21:57Stop.
21:57You're joking.
21:58Are you joking?
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.
22:09Yay!
22:10Thank you so much.
22:12Okay.
22:12I'll talk to you soon.
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, that'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 where your breakfast nook is.
22:39That's my hope is having as much light coming through as possible because right now it does
22:42feel very closed off and janky with the staircase.
22:44Yeah.
22:45We are eliminating the fireplace.
22:47That'll give us way more options for storage and furniture layout.
22:50The only issue is right now, which maybe we need to talk to Malia about, the bottleneck
22:55here 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.
23:09Let's do it.
23:11Let's do it.
23:14Let's do it.
23:24Let's do it.
23:24All right.
23:24Hey, we have company.
23:26Hello.
23:27Good timing.
23:28Hello.
23:29Well, hello.
23:29Want a round?
23:30Grab a seat.
23:31Let's do it.
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
23:42in a very short period of time.
23:44Right.
23:44First of all, we need to know,
23:45what are your priorities?
23:46I mean, we'd love to see it beautiful
23:49and nicely designed,
23:51but I think our number one priority
23:52is 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,
24:02kids, clutter, chaos, like, bleh.
24:05We've got a decent amount of stuff.
24:06I'd say it's a lot of kids' stuff.
24:07We have so many things we can't even,
24:09we don't even know.
24:09Yeah, we've started to put some stuff
24:11in 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.
24:23We're looking at different options
24:25of what we can do,
24:25and the idea of tucking a bankette
24:28into the corner is really cool.
24:29Well, guess what?
24:30That gives you room
24:31for a tall pantry cabinet
24:32with way more storage
24:33to help with clutter,
24:34all while blending seamlessly
24:35into the overall design.
24:37And to bring in some new light,
24:39we can install a new window
24:40above the bankette.
24:42The bench seating plays double duty
24:43with large drawer storage
24:45tucked underneath.
24:46Anywhere we can get extra cabinets
24:48would 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.
24:56We can open that up,
24:57put flooring in,
24:58add some shelves and baskets
24:59to keep shoes organized,
25:01and a door to keep things
25:02looking neat and tidy.
25:03That sounds good.
25:04We can also consult
25:05with a professional organizer
25:06to help sort and manage
25:08some of the chaos.
25:09All right.
25:09Let's do it.
25:10From an aesthetic standpoint,
25:11keeping in mind
25:11that we're going to look
25:12at all durable products,
25:14do you see anything here
25:16that jumps out to you?
25:17I'm personally like a cleaner look,
25:19so I like the ones
25:21that are a little bit simpler.
25:23I think in general,
25:24we like more natural-looking tones.
25:27I don't mind a little texture.
25:29I like the clean,
25:30but I would probably lean towards this.
25:31So you like this kind of realm here
25:32with some veining in it?
25:34Yeah.
25:34Okay.
25:34Here, give us a little,
25:35pull through there
25:36and have a little look.
25:38Tell us wall color,
25:39what you're thinking,
25:39and then for accents
25:40in this space.
25:41Oh, wall color.
25:41Oh, wall color.
25:42Go for both.
25:43It's like a test.
25:43Nobody likes looking
25:44through a fan deck
25:45under pressure.
25:46I know, this is a lot.
25:48I'm probably white on the walls.
25:51Yeah, yeah.
25:52Very light.
25:52Very light,
25:53light and bright
25:54with the walls.
25:55Like cabinet,
25:56I wouldn't necessarily
25:57want a dark cabinet,
25:58but I do like these
26:00kind of blues and greens
26:02all in a row.
26:03Not heavy dark.
26:05It's farmhouse coastal.
26:07Did we make that up?
26:08There can be farmhouses
26:09on the water.
26:10Because he's,
26:11you know,
26:11Colorado farmhouse,
26:13Hawaii coastal.
26:15We can put that
26:15in the design.
26:17But I would say,
26:17like,
26:17we do love the beach,
26:19so things that can kind of
26:19bring that coastal beach feel.
26:22I mean,
26:23we can also do real stone
26:24in the entry.
26:25We can even do a terrazzo.
26:27We can do,
26:28you know,
26:28a little of anything.
26:29We'll pull it together
26:30and then we'll see
26:31which things actually
26:32work together.
26:32Cool.
26:32Okay.
26:33And above all else,
26:34storage.
26:35Yes.
26:36Yes.
26:36Yeah.
26:36Yes.
26:37Yes.
26:56I don't know a single person alive
26:58who has ever not heard the saying,
27:01storage 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
27:07needs for storage
27:08and as the kids get bigger,
27:10the needs only get greater.
27:11I just think that
27:12you can't have enough closets.
27:14We'll frame it out
27:14and we'll just make it
27:15just like a couple
27:16of adjustable shelves
27:17or something.
27:19But we're in pretty good shape.
27:20We've got the fireplace.
27:21Close this up.
27:22Yeah.
27:22Ready.
27:22So that all came off
27:23pretty good.
27:24Electrical's done.
27:25I wonder if we,
27:26because we're capping.
27:27Yeah, we'll cap off on top.
27:29At the top of chimney.
27:30I'm wondering if,
27:32I mean,
27:32if there's any chance
27:33of a draft or anything
27:34coming down,
27:35I would still insulate
27:36in this section as well,
27:38just behind the drywall.
27:39Just a little.
27:40A little bit of rigid.
27:41Well, we got insulation,
27:42so we could do that.
27:43Yeah.
27:44That's not a problem.
27:44So this is just going to be
27:46blank wall smart work.
27:47Yeah.
27:4831 inches.
27:49Mm-hmm.
27:51It's not often
27:52that we actually
27:53get rid of a fireplace
27:54without putting another one back.
27:56So it'll just be
27:57a drywalled corner.
27:59This is a smart use
27:59of this space.
28:00The way it was configured
28:01wasn't optimal.
28:02And this just gives them
28:04so much better use
28:04for seating over here.
28:07Way more options
28:08for how to do the furniture.
28:13I know this has been
28:14a stressful process.
28:15They've looked at a ton of houses.
28:16They've lost out.
28:17They had their hopes up
28:17and they were crushed.
28:19So it's important for us
28:20to get them in there.
28:21These guys went through hell
28:22and back to find a home.
28:23So I just want them
28:24to be super happy.
28:44Hi, guys.
28:44Oh, hey.
28:45How's it going?
28:45Your timing could literally
28:47not have been more perfect.
28:48Great 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
28:54in the garage
28:55and all the stuff?
28:56I've seen the chaos
28:57and I've seen some photos
28:58from the rental.
28:59I'm here to help
29:00sort through
29:00and edit all of the toys
29:01and figure out
29:02what is the right system
29:03that is easily maintained.
29:04Something that's functional
29:05but also beautiful.
29:06It has to look great
29:06with the design.
29:07So we have a lot of options.
29:08There's space over there
29:09that we could put a cabinet.
29:11The one category
29:12that's probably going to be
29:12pretty big
29:13is arts and crafts.
29:14And that doesn't always
29:15look beautiful.
29:16Yeah.
29:16So if we can have cabinetry
29:18just to contain paint
29:19and things like that.
29:20Yeah, you know what?
29:21Because we don't really have,
29:21when I'm thinking,
29:22we don't want that
29:23in the pantry.
29:24One idea to keep it
29:25aesthetically pleasing
29:26is to use an opaque
29:27woven basket
29:28to contain all of the toys.
29:29It's functional
29:30and looks great.
29:32For arts and crafts,
29:33an acrylic turntable
29:34with separate compartments
29:36for paintbrushes,
29:37markers, and crayons.
29:38And it's clear
29:39so you can see
29:40what goes where.
29:41And labeled jars
29:42for supplies
29:43so the kids know
29:44where stuff goes
29:45when you kindly ask them
29:46to clean up
29:47after themselves.
29:49Even as a grown-up,
29:50I can't remember
29:50where everything's supposed to go,
29:51but we have it
29:52all beautifully labeled
29:53and then every time
29:54we're refilling,
29:55it's so easy.
29:55Yes.
29:56My job is to make sure
29:57that the system is flawless,
29:58it can be maintained
29:59long after I'm gone,
30:01and that the whole family
30:02can use it.
30:20during the tours,
30:21Malia kept saying
30:22how she wants the entrance
30:23to have some sort
30:24of visual interest
30:25that just welcomes you in
30:26and drops the jaw.
30:28And I think we can do that
30:30with this house.
30:31I mean,
30:31a terrazzo floor in there
30:32would be stunning.
30:33They would absolutely love that.
30:34But also,
30:35I think the right railing
30:36can help open that up a bit.
30:38Something visual
30:39that pulls you into the space
30:40and 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.
30:49Let me give you 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
30:56should run all the way in here.
30:58So that's...
30:58Hey, hey.
30:59I made the executive decision
31:01to remove that stud
31:02so we just run the hardwood
31:03all the way in.
31:04Do you want instead
31:06to do the tile?
31:07I think we're light on tile,
31:09so...
31:10Well, we're done with that, right?
31:10Because the tile's finished.
31:11Yeah.
31:14Oh.
31:15I'll clean this up, Drew.
31:16Oh, guys.
31:17Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold 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
31:29the lower level, right?
31:30Well, just...
31:31It never looks...
31:33totally 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...
31:46Oh, yeah.
31:47When they were laying that,
31:49they should have...
31:50looked 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,
31:58but this...
31:59Even the color looks off.
32:00They should never have used
32:01a blank tile like this.
32:02That should have been off-cut.
32:04Oh, I think that's...
32:06And that's the first thing
32:07you see when you walk in.
32:15We ordered this online,
32:16and I don't remember
32:18any of the tiles
32:18being half blank.
32:20Hold on.
32:20Let me see.
32:21Some nosing.
32:22You said we...
32:22Do we have any more of the...
32:23I think there's a few pieces
32:25of tile left,
32:26but not much.
32:28There's three pieces.
32:29We can demo the tile,
32:31but Jonathan's asking
32:32about a nosing
32:33to match this nosing.
32:37So...
32:37All right.
32:39Well, that automatically
32:40is better
32:41because you're basically
32:41cutting up the stairs.
32:42Yeah, cut this corner
32:43right here like that,
32:44and all of a sudden
32:45this pattern would blend
32:47perfectly with the other tile.
32:48And then for this,
32:49I know we have more
32:50of our bullnose in here.
32:52Hold on a sec.
32:53All right.
32:53That's over here, Jonathan.
32:54Is it?
32:55Yeah.
32:56So would we cut the tile back,
32:57though, the extra couple of inches?
32:59Yeah.
32:59Which, of course,
33:00is not ideal.
33:01Yeah, exactly.
33:02Oh, that looks actually
33:03a lot cleaner.
33:03So that will look
33:05a lot better.
33:06It never looks good
33:08to have in different materials
33:11exactly in line
33:12with 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.
33:44I 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...
34:01Wow.
34:02Oh, you thought they were
34:03going to crash into each other?
34:03Oh, near collisions?
34:04As you can see from our kids,
34:06like, they just love this park.
34:07They love being by the beach.
34:08They love collecting things
34:09at the beach.
34:10So we spend a lot of time out here.
34:12We don't have any family locally,
34:15so 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.
34:26Society's not really made
34:27for two working parents
34:29and without family around.
34:31And having grown up in Hawaii
34:32and having community
34:33and family all around,
34:35it was definitely a big shock
34:36coming here.
34:38But that is also why this area,
34:40you know, it's become our community
34:42that we hope to stick around with.
34:49We hope to have a great day.
34:54Ooh.
34:58Ooh.
34:59The sunshine is electric.
35:01Walking out to the beach of perfection.
35:03Looking out at the ocean.
35:06Waves roll in magical motion.
35:08Clear blue skies.
35:34There's a surprise here because obviously we do the drawer storage all the time.
35:38There's secret storage.
35:40The base of this table.
35:43Oh, for arts and crafts stuff.
35:45Yeah.
35:45Oh, amazing.
35:46The extra little organizations, there's going to be a little treat for them.
35:57The boys are finishing up inside there, so 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 the neighborhood and get back to the South Bay.
36:08Just, I mean, to start to, like, be settled down, get 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 or you guys are going to hit everything.
36:22What's up, Dave?
36:22Hello.
36:23I'm very, very excited for you guys.
36:25We are.
36:25We're super excited as well.
36:27I can't even, I don't, I can't even function right now.
36:30I mean, in another world, it could have been that house you were moving into.
36:34Very true.
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 before, the layout, the split level,
36:43I actually think makes it a more unique and beautiful home than some other standard houses in the neighborhood.
36:47We're super excited.
36:48We cannot wait.
36:49Take a deep breath.
36:50Let's get you in this house.
36:52Yeah.
36:52All right.
36:53Let's check it out.
36:54So ready.
36:57Step right in.
37:03Oh, my God.
37:05Oh, my God.
37:08This is all for you and the kiddos.
37:15Oh, my God.
37:17Oh, my God.
37:18What?
37:19No.
37:19I did not expect this.
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 does have a great look.
37:34I mean, what you guys did with it, it looks so much better than what it was before.
37:37Doesn't it look amazing?
37:38Your first impression is so nice.
37:41Oh, my God.
37:44It's so open.
37:45This flow of the stairs, who Jonathan was talking about before, just opening this up a little bit
37:48You didn't really notice coming down.
37:51Beautiful.
37:51The floors and stairs.
37:52What do you think?
37:52Floors are incredible.
37:53I love this at the start.
37:55I love this.
37:55The tile there looks great.
37:57Oh, my God.
37:57We haven't had, like, a setup, like a place for the whole family.
38:01This is incredible.
38:01I honestly...
38:02Oh, my gosh.
38:03What's going through your headroom?
38:03I don't think this is our house.
38:05I'm just, like, just the flood of everything we've been through to get here.
38:09Like, we have a cuddle couch now.
38:11Yeah, I mean, this is nice.
38:11Cuddle couch.
38:12We wanted it for the kids.
38:13Yeah, the whole family.
38:14That feels good.
38:15Oh, my gosh.
38:16Not only can you cuddle up, but you can cuddle and craft.
38:19Oh, my gosh.
38:20Wow, look at that.
38:21Look at that.
38:22That's amazing.
38:22We know that nothing is more important for families than having storage.
38:28Some of it comes through furniture, and some of it comes through better use of your existing spaces.
38:34Oh, my gosh.
38:35Look at that.
38:35So we got some baskets.
38:37Each of you have a basket for shoes.
38:39Storage in there.
38:40Oh, my gosh.
38:40I didn't even notice that coming in.
38:41We have kids' stuff tucked away and organized, so you can see.
38:45You have the trains.
38:45You have the cars.
38:47Amazing.
38:47But the baskets...
38:48Oh, my gosh.
38:50This is real.
39:05This was a stressful search for a home.
39:07It's not easy to find a house in this area.
39:10I mean, so many people we know dream of being in this area, and somehow the stars aligned, and you
39:17made it happen.
39:18Well, at first they didn't.
39:19Here, there's a house.
39:20Nope, you're not going to have that house.
39:21I think we've still been honestly coming to terms with the fact that we got here in the beach area
39:28that we've been wanting.
39:30And honestly, now that we have a house here as well, it's pretty overwhelming.
39:34Oh, no.
39:35Now you're going to cry.
39:36We've both, like, we've worked so hard and, like, we met here in the South Bay, and we don't have
39:43our, you know, family here.
39:45It's truly, it's us.
39:46It's us and the kids.
39:47And this is the start of just our lives.
39:53Yeah.
39:53And honestly, I feel like I've had this, like, anxiety in the pit of my stomach for, you know, 12
39:59months now, and it's just kind of, like, settled.
40:02Yeah.
40:02It is 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.
40:10You 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.
40:23I know.
40:23Like, I love the countertops.
40:25It's not too veiny.
40:27Is she looking more lovingly at the counter than she is at you?
40:30It's okay.
40:31I hope it's temporary, but it's okay.
40:33Look, you matched with the green there.
40:35Yeah.
40:35I know.
40:35Honestly, the color of the cabinets is perfect.
40:38It's honestly perfect.
40:39Look at this right here.
40:41Oh.
40:42Wow.
40:43Mama likes it.
40:45You guys have not only what's a beautiful kitchen, but it's packed with technology as well.
40:50I love the fact that you're not wasting counter space with your microwave and storage drawers.
40:55Look at all that space.
40:56That's crazy.
40:58Oh, and look at the farmhouse sink.
41:02Dishwasher.
41:02Oh, and this is our dishwasher.
41:03I didn't realize.
41:05This is a gorgeous kitchen, guys, compared to what was here before.
41:08This is, yeah, this is like a night and day.
41:10I'll actually like cooking now.
41:12I know, yeah.
41:12There are some amazing touches in here.
41:15This is like our dining space now.
41:17Yeah, this matches.
41:18We've been dreaming of a nook.
41:19And the window, there's a window here.
41:21It's crazy.
41:23So, not only did we squeeze in beautiful fridge.
41:26Wow.
41:27Check out all the storage.
41:29Oh my gosh.
41:30Look at that.
41:31Talk about amazing.
41:33The kids can then choose their drawer just for them.
41:36Wow.
41:36That's awesome.
41:37Coolest one.
41:38Uh-oh.
41:38Oh, gosh.
41:39Push on that.
41:39Yes, yes.
41:40I think I know what this is.
41:41Push on it right there.
41:43Storage.
41:44Wow.
41:45That's just for the kids.
41:46Yay.
41:47Arts and crafts.
41:48And then open the drawer in the front.
41:51So you have literally anywhere we can possibly.
41:53Oh, wow.
41:54These are big.
41:55They're big.
41:55It's great.
41:56The natural wood on the floors, the tables.
42:00And honestly, it feels like roomy for just kind of being tucked away.
42:03It's a lot of space.
42:04It doesn't feel like a little afterthought.
42:06You can actually get six people around.
42:07It's pretty easy.
42:08Yeah.
42:09If you were buying this kitchen already finished, it would not be within your budget.
42:13Right.
42:13Yeah.
42:14This is honestly incredible.
42:16I don't think I've seen you smile this much since I've known you.
42:19I love it.
42:20I'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 has always been tough.
42:37I am glad that we stuck it up.
42:40It is pretty incredible what kind of aligned together for us to end up here.
42:45That anxious feeling is kind of gone.
42:47Everything is just so well thought out.
42:49Yeah.
42:50And it's got a nice beach.
42:51Yes.
42:52Beach feel that we definitely wanted.
42:54We met in the South Bay.
42:55We're now building our family here.
42:58And it's something I have always dreamt of.
43:02And we were never moving again.
43:04You have to stay busy.
43:04We're no longer staying here for the future.
43:04Now—
43:04We're positivised by Chris Prado City.
43:05Wed oat好好.
43:05Question 5.
43:07You may Ihre time.
