00:01I think it's one of the worst houses we'll probably ever encounter in our
00:05entire career. This house excites the crap out of me. I'm Kamal Haikalama, right?
00:11Yeah! And I'm Tristan Kalama. I put on extra deodorant for this.
00:17Oh my god. We buy and renovate homes in the most challenging place in the country,
00:23Hawaii. The shipping is more than the actual material cost. We want to restore
00:28homes for local families. The real estate here is crazy expensive. So to make this
00:35work we have to take on some of the most rundown homes on the island. Can you hear
00:39us? Disgusting. How do we do it? Our giant family. I have 87 first cousins. Yo what's
00:49up cuz? More than anything we want our children to be good human beings. Exactly.
00:55Can't have little ass walking around. Little ass walking around.
01:08I feel like it's gonna be a good day. I feel like it's gonna go my way. Yeah. Look at
01:15all the battleships. Look at these views.
01:18That's Pearl Harbor right there. Yeah. Look at how big the house is. I mean they're all massive. It's crazy.
01:28Today we're on the west side of Aiea. Really historic suburban part of town. It's located just up the street
01:37from Pearl Harbor and the Aloha Stadium.
01:39The houses down on the flat part of Aiea are normally selling around a million dollars.
01:46But as you head up the hill the houses start to get more expensive because you get unreal views up
01:54here.
01:54I mean they're selling for around two mil. You know our good friend Brooks. Love Brooks.
02:00So he gave me a call. Wanted to show us this house. Okay. He's done a couple projects already right?
02:06He has. He's a mortgage broker right? Right. So he knows a ton about lending. But not so much about
02:12renovation and design.
02:13I think he sees us as a good opportunity to execute on his family's house. It's basically a house that's
02:22been in their family and they are thinking about selling it.
02:27Is he meeting us here? Yeah. Right here on the right. Let's check it out.
02:33Brooks. Hey. What's up buddy? How's it going guys? Hey. See you. So pretty up here. All right. Glad you
02:40guys could make it. How are you? Doing good. Yeah? Yeah. I'm excited.
02:43So what are you kind of looking for? What's the situation? So grandpa actually built it.
02:49Wow. He designed everything. For the most part I think they just built this massive home. Yeah.
02:54And it was just them because at that age all the kids just kind of went off and did their
02:57own things as adults do. Right.
02:59But grandma and grandpa's passed away so it's time to just kind of move on. Okay. And we need to
03:04sell the property. Yeah.
03:05The family's looking to get a million eighty for it. I mean I looked it up a little bit. It's
03:09a five bed, three and a half bath,
03:11just under four thousand square feet and it's on a massive lot. Yeah it's big. It's huge.
03:17Yeah. Got really great bones. Um I think just more needs updating. Yeah. There were some water issues
03:22at one point but I'd like to partner with you guys and collaborate to rehab it. On the renovation part.
03:28Yeah. Um. Um. I mean we could definitely put this on the MLS but I know how thoughtful you guys
03:35are
03:35with properties let alone somebody who has a connection to it. Yeah. So you guys were the first thought.
03:40Look I'll give you the keys and then let me know what you think afterwards. Okay. Okay.
03:44All right. I'll give you a call.
03:46Typically we don't like to do partnerships because there are so many moving pieces from funding to construction to design.
03:56We like to be in control to ensure that we're going to have a successful project. This is a massive
04:03house.
04:04That in itself is a huge challenge. You add in that Brooks has an emotional connection to this house
04:11like no other. So that could very much so complicate things.
04:17And we're in. Oh my gosh. Wow. Holy crap. These are 20 foot ceilings. It makes it feel massive in
04:28here.
04:28This house in its prime you could tell was like it.
04:33Forward. Architectural digest it. This elevated living room. Look at this wallpaper. Look at that tile.
04:41Look at these light fixtures. This is like an 80s time capsule. I've never seen anything like this.
04:49But there's noticeable signs of wear. I mean cracks in the paint around the beams. There's a lot of stuff.
04:55But the fact that Brooks grandpa designed and built it is so rad. I've never been in a raised living
05:03room.
05:03Look at the view. Oh my gosh. Dude we are set up on the top of the mountain. Well that
05:10is what's going
05:11to help sell the house. So far so good. Yeah. What's behind this wall? All right. Kitchen.
05:18Definitely dated. Dated cabinets. Older cabs. Older countertops. It's also an underwhelming island.
05:25It looks solid though. I don't think we'd have to do too much here. And I don't know if we've
05:29ever
05:30said that before. Ever. Never. Not in the kitchens we normally buy.
05:35Oh. What do you think this room was? Like a loungy living space? Look at these built-ins.
05:42These are expensive. Something like this would probably run for about 10 grand. You don't just
05:48see furniture made like this anymore. Yeah. We should figure out how to incorporate it back if we move
05:54forward. Super cool. Yeah. We haven't even gone down the stairs yet. Yeah. Let's continue on. Yep.
05:59Is this primary? This room is gigantic. Holy crap. Look at how big it is. And then like look at
06:06the view.
06:07What? Bruh. Massive picture window. It's panoramic. Is that a bathroom around there? Yes. You have
06:15a huge bathroom. Obviously needs to be updated but like we're in really good shape. I mean yeah.
06:20Okay. One more floor. I think there's one more floor. I've seen a lot of doors, babe.
06:27I feel like I'm now in a closed off dark maze. So it looks like there's four bedrooms on this
06:32level
06:33and two bathrooms. I'll go right. And I'll go this side. You go left. Okay. Babe, what do you see
06:38over
06:38there? Two bedrooms and a bathroom. I got two bedrooms and a bathroom on this side. I think we're starting
06:46to
06:46see where that 4,000 square feet is coming from. But like there is another one more floor. Oh my
06:53gosh.
06:54This is another living room. I like it because there's a ton of different options that we could
07:01do down here. This is where all the kids hang out. Or game room or something. I think they call
07:06these a
07:07rumpus room. I mean this is definitely one of the more rough spaces. You got to scrape the ceilings,
07:14flooring. Change the windows. I mean there's a lot of work down here. But now I finally see what I
07:19wanted to see, which is the deck. I want to get out to that deck. Yeah. Wow, babe. This is
07:25what it's about.
07:27This is everything right here. This is why people live in Hawaii. I mean you can see the Arizona
07:33Memorial, all of Pearl Harbor. You see Ford Island. I know. You see it all. The lot goes all the
07:39way
07:39down to that street down there. The bummer is. It's not usable. But I don't know if the person buying
07:45this house is buying it for a yard. They're buying for the size. They're buying for the location.
07:51They're buying it for the view. What do you think we could sell this for? This is the thing. Houses
07:55in this
07:55area sell over two million dollars. ARV is going to be like right under two million. The family wants a
08:02million eighty. If we're looking at a 12-week timeline, that'll be about $250,000 in holding
08:09costs, selling costs. Our renovation is going to be for sure is $350,000. That's a $320,000 profit.
08:18Which is a no-brainer. But it's not 100% ours. And if we have another party providing feedback and
08:27chiming in on things, it just could become really stressful. I mean, we know there's three parts to
08:33the deal. There's the money. There's the deal itself. Yeah. And it's the construction experience.
08:40He brought the deal. Exactly. That's 30%. Just to keep it clean. Right. I mean, he's still walking away
08:46with just under $100,000. And we're walking away with $220,000. On a deal this size with that much
08:55renovation costs, we need that buffer. I mean, that's a really good margin. This house is super
09:00unique. And I think it would be very helpful to Brooks and its family. I'm down to take it on.
09:06You just have to figure out the partnership. I'll give them a call. We'll set up a lunch and then
09:10we'll go from there. Okay. Sounds good, babe. Let's go lock up.
09:25Yo, what's up? What's up, brother? What's up, brother? How are you? Good. Oh, right on. I mean,
09:32I did the polite thing and got you something to drink. Thank you. Ah. Are you excited? I am.
09:38Yeah. Yeah. I really wanted to get you over here to just nail out like the partnership thing. Okay.
09:46In my head, what would make sense is we split the profit 70-30.
09:57Our plan was to bring the construction design and the funding and you're bringing the deal.
10:05To be honest, I was actually thinking 70-30 my way.
10:09Yeah. I also have the ability to get funding and I love you guys design and that's what I was
10:14really
10:15looking for. The one-third is from you guys. I mean, I'll be completely transparent. If that was the way
10:22it was going to be, then we probably wouldn't be a part of the deal. There is a level of
10:30control
10:31that we need at this price point and how much risk is involved. There's a lot of risk on my
10:38side too.
10:39There's literally no way we'd be able to do it for that.
10:46I don't know if I've stressed it enough to you is this isn't just about the money. This is a
10:52family
10:52legacy. This is a property. So having less than 50%, it's almost like taking away the bloodline
11:00component for it. And that's where I would need to be at the very minimum
11:04in order to feel good about this whole thing.
11:07Okay. So you're saying, I mean, 50 you'd be good with.
11:1350% is, yeah, I'm actually comfortable with that. It feels good inside.
11:16So you're bringing half of the money. You brought the deal. We'll bring the other half of the money
11:22and we'll have final say on construction and design.
11:29I'm done with that.
11:30Down?
11:31Yeah. All I ask is that the cabinets that my grandpa built stay in the house.
11:3550-50.
11:3650-50.
11:37You ready?
11:37Yeah, let's go.
11:38Let's go.
11:40After talking it through, Brooks and I made a deal to purchase the property at $1,080,000
11:46and a 50-50 partnership. Brooks's family was super stoked that we were able to pay them
11:52exactly what they needed. And with that, it's time to clear out the house and start demo.
12:03What's up, guys?
12:05Yo.
12:06You guys ready?
12:07Yep.
12:07How are you feeling?
12:09It's kind of emotional but exciting at the same time. I made my peace with this.
12:15Okay.
12:15Yeah, so I couldn't come into this if I didn't already do that.
12:18Well, I'm going to let you take the first swing then.
12:20Yes.
12:22Okay, so everything's cleared out?
12:24Yep.
12:24So let's go kitchen.
12:25Okay.
12:26The main change for this level, it's the kitchen. So the footprint is staying here.
12:33We're going to tear down this wall, opening it up to the hallway,
12:36and shift the island over to make the space feel even bigger than it is now.
12:41When you go down into the primary, I want to make the two closets one large walk-in closet,
12:47and then open up the bathroom to create the space for dual vanities and a freestanding tub.
12:52And on the floor with all of the bedrooms, I want to push that wall back and make it feel
12:57less cramped
12:57with clear entries into each room. We can gut all the bathrooms, we can gut the kitchen.
13:02All the built-ins that Brooke's grandpa had are being kept.
13:06Do not break those. Trav and I can get started on taking those down.
13:10So there's not much change to the layout at all.
13:13No.
13:13So we were already working with something that's pretty awesome.
13:16Yes.
13:17We'll stay in the kitchen.
13:18First crack at the kitchen.
13:19Let's do it.
13:38Oh, man.
13:40This one's all butts up already.
13:44Oh, my gosh.
13:46Is that water damage?
13:47Yeah.
13:48We cannot lose these.
13:50I mean, new ones are like 10 grand.
13:52Guys, Brooks, babe.
13:54Yeah.
13:55What is that?
13:55Water damage?
13:56I think it's water damage.
13:58Is it like that on all the rest?
14:00I don't know.
14:03Gosh.
14:05How does that one look?
14:06Oh, you guys, this one has it too.
14:08Not.
14:09Yeah.
14:10Oh, my goodness.
14:12I pictured this with these still in the property.
14:15I know.
14:17I don't know if I can salvage this.
14:21We got really skilled woodworkers in the family.
14:25There's a chance he can recreate it to make it look like it was.
14:29We just have to make sure he can do it.
14:32I mean, they didn't mean for it to start out like this, but we'll do our best to keep them.
14:36Let's just keep going.
14:38Yeah.
14:40I mean, it's looking good.
14:42We just got to get the rest of the crew in here and clear this out so we can start
14:45working.
14:45Yep.
14:58Our permits got approved.
15:00So the guys are finishing up demo at the house.
15:02They're tearing down all the drywall to inspect to see if there's any other water damage.
15:08Once that's done, they can start framing for new windows and bedroom placement.
15:13Then they can move on to electrical and plumbing rough-in.
15:19Dude, what is with all of this rain?
15:22The storm's just supposed to get worse.
15:25Holy crap.
15:26It is all opened up huge.
15:29I know it does.
15:30Look at how much brighter it is in here and all this natural light just shooting through the house.
15:37You think this kitchen is going to be big enough?
15:39For the price point, it needs to be tippity top notch.
15:43It can't just be big.
15:45It has to be amazing.
15:45No, it has to be.
15:46It has to be amazing.
15:47The thing is, it's jinx.
15:49Jinx.
15:50Bastard jinx.
15:51No take backs.
15:52So do you want to see what I designed?
15:54Yeah.
15:58I mean, I see a ton of material here, but we have a massive house.
16:03So like, I noticed something right off the bat.
16:05This looks like the tile that's already in the house.
16:08Because it is.
16:10It's the front landing tile we're salvaging and keeping.
16:13That's the inspo for this entire house.
16:16Cool.
16:16Moving on to the kitchen, I think we go with a white oak cabinet.
16:19And then we do a two-toned countertop.
16:22So a clean white on the perimeter that also is the backsplash.
16:27And then we do a dark gray concrete-like on the kitchen island.
16:32We have bronze finishes with the statement piece being a bronze hood vent.
16:39It's bold.
16:40Like, we've never done something like that.
16:42And then over there in the dining room off the kitchen, I want to do wine racks.
16:46Floor to ceiling, wine racks that frame out this big picture window.
16:49That makes it look very beautiful and is a statement in this dining room area.
16:54I like it.
16:55And then to wrap it all up, I think the downstairs can make a great game room,
17:00hangout spot, recreation area.
17:03I'm thinking pool table or poker table or on a dry bar.
17:07And then I'm still working on the rest, but I think it's a good start.
17:11That all sounds unreal.
17:13I think the house is going to be amazing.
17:15The next step is scaffolding.
17:17Yeah, I gotta get a trap on that.
17:19We've never worked on a house that's this high off the ground.
17:23Never.
17:23So I made sure that we had 10 grand in the budget for scaffolding.
17:27We're going to be having to paint the exterior any time now.
17:30Do you think we go dark on the exterior?
17:32I'm feeling a super dark earthy green with a black trim.
17:36But break up some of the color patterns.
17:38So I need to know where we're landing with that.
17:40Let's get it ordered.
17:42I'm going to actually take a photo of all this stuff out and send it to Brooks.
17:47Do it.
17:47He's going to love it.
17:56The guys are continuing to work on the interior this week with Plumbing Ruffin.
18:00While Travis is working on getting bids for the scaffolding,
18:03so exterior paint can get started soon as well as drywall.
18:07Oh, what's up, guys?
18:09Yo.
18:10There's rain.
18:11Isn't it wonderful?
18:12I know.
18:12It's not fun.
18:13It's Hawaii weather for you.
18:14Yeah.
18:15It's raining here, but it's not five minutes down the road.
18:17Yeah.
18:18So where are we at with scaffolding?
18:19I got three guys that came out.
18:22Yeah.
18:22They're all landing around $35,000.
18:25$35,000?
18:26$35,000?
18:27That's for a 28-day rental.
18:29Are you kidding me?
18:31Yeah.
18:32We budgeted $10,000 for the scaffolding.
18:34I mean, that's a $25,000 hit to the budget.
18:41We don't buy houses with elevations like this.
18:45We don't ever come across them either.
18:46Or that even required the substantial amount of scaffolding.
18:49I mean, we had no clue how much it really was going to cost, but no one expected $35,000.
18:55I feel like that's like a commercial-style pricing when I'm doing a whole building.
19:00Well, I just don't know what the alternative is.
19:02To hit the ARB that you're trying to do, you kind of have to pull out all these bells and
19:07whistles
19:07and change out windows and make sure there's fresh paint on the house.
19:10And so to not do that would hurt us even more, I feel like.
19:14I'll get on the phone with Brooks and keep going.
19:19Yo.
19:21Yeah, I have some not-so-fun news.
19:23A $25,000 hit is rough on any project.
19:27We have a good margin on this house, which normally would make this hit
19:32easier to take, but we do have a partner.
19:35And now both of us are taking this hit.
19:37We just figured this out.
19:39I wanted to let you know.
19:40All right?
19:41Okay.
19:42Bye.
19:44So I'm trying to achieve that, and I hope that that's what's happening.
19:48What did he say?
19:50I mean, he's bummed, but he also trusts us, so
19:54understands that this kind of stuff comes up.
19:56We just have to get there.
19:57We're going to get there.
20:02As Chauvin and Teep keep pushing ahead at the house.
20:04We're headed to my cousin Kia Aina's wood shop in Kaneohe to see if we can fix these water
20:10damage cabinets.
20:12All right.
20:15Ho!
20:16Hey, guys.
20:16Hi.
20:17How's it going?
20:18What's up?
20:18Nice to see you.
20:19You too.
20:20We bring goodies.
20:21Super.
20:22Best ever, man.
20:23Oh, what do you got today?
20:25These are from a renovation that we're doing right now.
20:28We want to put this back into the house.
20:30Okay.
20:31You can tell they're in a little bit rough shape.
20:34They seem better days.
20:34Maybe we bring one inside and you guys can take a look at it.
20:37Oh, these are heavy too.
20:38It's heavy for me.
20:39Yeah, they're heavy.
20:40So.
20:40Let's go for it.
20:45We ended up partnering on this house with the grandson.
20:50Right.
20:51And so it just would mean a lot if we salvaged and kept them.
20:56Sure.
20:56Totally salvageable.
20:57Yeah.
20:57Totally, yeah.
20:57You feel this right here.
20:58You can feel that little dip.
21:00Yeah.
21:01That's a good thing.
21:01That tells you it's thick.
21:02It's thick, yeah.
21:03Yeah.
21:04That'll get it really smooth.
21:05Okay.
21:06Take whatever's off on here and then try rubbing in a hard wax.
21:10I like that idea.
21:12Okay, cool.
21:12Okay.
21:12Well, I appreciate it.
21:13Always.
21:13Yeah, absolutely.
21:14I know.
21:15Yeah.
21:15Thanks for coming by.
21:16Yeah.
21:16Appreciate it, man.
21:17Shoot.
21:18Always nice to see you.
21:20Now, if only you had a cousin that did scaffolding.
21:30Now that we have scaffolding at the house, the guys can get started on exterior paint and installing
21:35the windows.
21:37While all of that is happening outside, drywall can get started inside.
21:53Okay.
21:53What do you think?
21:54I love it, but it's my favorite color, so what do you think?
21:58I mean, we went bold going this dark.
22:02It's a huge house and this front facade is so unique.
22:05I feel like the green elevates the space.
22:08We still have to figure out what we're going to do out here and I don't know what that is.
22:15Like, this is blocking the whole thing.
22:17What is this?
22:18Is it an appliance?
22:21It's to Brooks.
22:23What is he ordering?
22:24Why would he order anything without talking to us?
22:26I would just text him and be like, what is this, bro?
22:29No, I'm going to text him.
22:30All right, well, let's check out inside.
22:33I mean, they're hanging drywall, but...
22:35I mean, almost.
22:37Is there more?
22:38They started on the bottom.
22:40Oh, yeah.
22:41All down here is hung.
22:44Oh, Brooks just texted.
22:46He just pulled up.
22:50Yo.
22:51What's up?
22:52What do you think of the exterior?
22:54Dude, I like it.
22:55Do you like it?
22:56I like it.
22:57It's sick, right?
22:58Yeah, everybody's going to be green with envy.
23:00Okay, but the real question is, what the heck is this?
23:03Oh my God, I'm so excited for this.
23:05It's a sauna.
23:08What?
23:08For this house?
23:10Yes.
23:10In the rumpus room.
23:13No.
23:15Yes.
23:15The opportunity presented itself and I had to act quick.
23:18I got it half off.
23:20That's a deal.
23:22I thought you guys would be more excited.
23:24This is not just a small thing, right?
23:27We're at drywall already.
23:28This isn't a small house either.
23:30This is a huge change.
23:32It requires drywall.
23:34You got to run electrical.
23:36I mean, we don't even know how to install one of these.
23:39Bro, when we sat down and talked about this part, you agreed that we would be in charge
23:44of the design.
23:46This is a problem.
23:48Okay.
23:54I really envision it being more like a workout, relaxation, recovery.
23:59Where we were going to do the second living room family area.
24:02Yeah.
24:03I mean, you think about the type of people that we want to attract the buyers.
24:07I think this is a really good feature.
24:09A feature that'll help sell the house.
24:09I think it's a feature for sure.
24:11But like, can you just plug this in?
24:13Because we can't.
24:14Ruffing for electrical is done.
24:15Yeah.
24:15Plug and play.
24:16Okay.
24:17We can make it work.
24:18It just has to feel intentional and well thought out.
24:21We have to get our heads together and really figure out where it's going to go.
24:32So we're working with the dry bar and these windows.
24:35And you have the sliders.
24:37It has to go somewhere on that side.
24:38On that side.
24:39If you're leaning into the workout thing and you put like a mirror and then you have like
24:44weights in this corner.
24:46Yeah.
24:46So it feels more intentional.
24:48And then you still have the rumpus part, right?
24:51This will blend into kind of a recreational space.
24:54Yeah.
24:54Exactly.
24:54Yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:55I mean, I'm not mad at it.
24:57It is a sizzle feature that not many houses have that ours does.
25:01Yeah.
25:01That being said, no more surprises.
25:03No cold plunges.
25:05You bet.
25:06Just text me next time.
25:17As we come into the final few weeks, the pace is picking up at this IAF mansion.
25:22We got dry on paint being finished as flooring and cabinets arrive.
25:32This house is absolutely massive and a lot still needs to get done.
25:36I mean, so we're just trying to jump in wherever we can.
25:39I need to get this for Bubba so he can do his kicks.
25:43The sauna installers are here.
25:45We have the flooring material and that's going to delineate one side from the other side.
25:52It's going to be really cool.
25:55Although it was a last minute surprise, you have to do things to houses that set yourself apart.
26:02And this addition from Brooks is definitely doing that.
26:09We could all three fit in here.
26:11Come on.
26:12Come on, Trav.
26:12Get in here.
26:13They're going to come back and I'm like, I just put the top on, please.
26:17Meeting is officially adjourned.
26:20Let's sweat together.
26:22Right on, Brooks.
26:24Good call.
26:24Good call, Brooks.
26:30We were at the very tail end of this project.
26:33It's all the finishing touches really that take the longest.
26:36I'm just excited to see it all come together.
26:56You good?
26:57Yeah, I'm fine.
26:58Can we do volleys?
26:59Okay, yeah, be careful.
27:01I know, I have all my pads on.
27:03You don't have a helmet on.
27:04I don't have a helmet.
27:06Yeah, you do.
27:07I mean, we're at the very end of this project and it's just a crazy week.
27:12We have so much going on and the kids are home from fall break.
27:15So we're just juggling working from home, doing our best.
27:22I have to take this phone call.
27:24How's it going, Brooks?
27:26Exactly.
27:27I know.
27:27I could not tell.
27:31Perfect.
27:31Sounds good.
27:32I'll see you there.
27:34Okay, bye.
27:34All right, back out.
27:38All right.
27:38Okay, babe.
27:40Well, I just got a phone call from Brooks.
27:44He has some design suggestions.
27:49What do you mean by design suggestions?
27:53He wants to change the paint color in the primary from white to gray.
27:56Why?
27:58We can't color drench a room gray.
28:00We're 10 days out.
28:01Changing anything 10 days out involves a lot of time and a lot of money and we can't do it.
28:07It's a no.
28:08I mean, I can give him a call and I'll talk to him.
28:10I'm sure he'll understand.
28:13Stop kicking the door.
28:16Bye bye.
28:16You're going to break it.
28:20What's up, brother?
28:21I was calling about the house.
28:24We know how much this house means to you and we're almost done, right?
28:29Like we're at the tail end.
28:31You've been a part of it the entire way.
28:33But we really want to try and surprise you with a fully finished product.
28:41So I'm asking you, we're asking you, if you can hold off from coming by.
28:50And just trust us to get it to the finish line.
28:55Yes.
28:56Okay.
28:57I can.
28:58I can.
28:58You promise?
28:59Do you promise?
29:01Yes.
29:02I appreciate it.
29:03I do agree.
29:04Yes.
29:04Okay.
29:05Thanks, buddy.
29:06Bye.
29:06Bye.
29:07Okay.
29:07Bye.
29:11And let the disco begin.
29:14Are you, little DJ made it out here?
29:21That's not how you dance.
29:22Did you just whoop whoop?
29:24Yeah.
29:30Okay, this looks good.
29:31I mean, we're so close.
29:33There's still a lot of other things that can happen.
29:41Things are wrapping up, but there's still a ton to do.
29:46We got staging coming and Trav just called me and said that we have a huge problem with the tub.
29:52This is the tub?
29:53This is like the final thing?
29:55This is that.
30:06I've never seen a tub this .
30:09It just arrived like this.
30:10This tub took like five weeks to get here.
30:13I already called.
30:14They're going to expedite it.
30:16It's going to be two weeks.
30:17We are ready to install.
30:19Like, we're not getting the house cleaned in two days.
30:21It's like, we're ready.
30:22We can't not have a tub in that bathroom.
30:25It's going to turn buyers away.
30:31We can't have nothing there.
30:33We can't afford to push off listing the house.
30:37But we just have nothing like this on island.
30:40Thoughts are we could basically drop it in place and dry fit it.
30:44Then you can get photos on the market and all of that.
30:47And the second it comes in, just swap it out.
30:49Let's do that.
30:50We'll get a towel that hangs over so we can proceed.
30:54That's the creative solution.
30:56It's a good solution.
30:57Well, I don't feel like we have a choice, so it is what it is.
31:00But we have tracking for the new tub.
31:02We got to make sure it gets here and gets swapped out like ASAP.
31:12It has been a journey.
31:13It has been a journey on this one.
31:16We're so close.
31:17Furniture is the final piece and you have to nail it.
31:20So I'm not putting any pressure on you at all.
31:23You're right here with me, brother.
31:26We're always trying to elevate our staging and our houses.
31:30And on a house this big, it is scary.
31:34It's a challenge, for sure.
31:35I'm just giving you a little pat on the back before this craziness happens.
31:42Thanks.
31:42The truck's here.
31:44Guess.
31:45The truck is here.
31:48So the L sectional is right there in the corner.
31:52We're going with an elevated, mature, sexy vibe.
31:57And it's like you have to have furniture that feels that same way
32:01to really bring everything together.
32:03It's the jewelry with the dress.
32:05It's the shoes with the outfit.
32:08Yes, for men.
32:10Brooks is going to be here in less than 24 hours and everything has to be perfect.
32:15Let's go.
32:32I got to test it out.
32:38Who knew a towel could be so useful?
32:40It looks good as new.
32:41I mean, come on.
32:44It's really good, babe.
32:45This is one of my favorites.
32:47Do you think Brooks is going to like it?
32:49I think Brooks is going to love it.
32:50He should be here any second.
32:53Oh, he just pulled up, babe.
32:55You ready?
32:56Yep, I am.
32:57Let's go.
32:57What's up?
32:58What's up, brother?
32:59How are you?
33:00Good, good.
33:01Oh my gosh.
33:02The day has come.
33:03Yes, it has.
33:06Just from the outside, it's a completely different house.
33:08We just breathe life really back into it.
33:12This makes the house stand out from the neighborhood now.
33:14Oh, 100%.
33:15Yeah, because when you walk down the driveway,
33:17you just kind of, your line of sight does this, and your color schemes are always so on point.
33:22I mean, before, the exterior was like a beige, and it honestly is pretty timeless.
33:27But for us, we're like, nah, we got to jazz it up.
33:32What was really important is that we did the family house justice.
33:38This is a one-of-a-kind family.
33:40This is a one-of-a-kind house.
33:41I'm excited to show you inside.
33:43I'm excited too.
33:45Are you ready?
33:49Wow.
33:51Oh man, did I pick the perfect partners.
33:54Draws you in, right?
33:56Yeah.
33:57Look at this, right?
34:01I think I actually want to spend time up here now.
34:04Yeah.
34:04And like, take it in.
34:05Like, the view just comes straight in now.
34:09I feel like I'm walking to a different environment that wasn't here ever before.
34:13Right, right.
34:14But all these moments are already here.
34:17We just brightened it.
34:20Modern and sophisticated, but it still has that island feel to it.
34:25A hundred percent.
34:26All of the heart and soul of this home is all still here.
34:30And what do you think about the wallpaper and the foyer?
34:33Your grandparents had something similar that I absolutely loved, and I wanted to pay homage to it.
34:38I like that.
34:39Yeah.
34:40Even the tile, the entry tile.
34:42Oh, that was never going anywhere.
34:44That was the whole ends before this whole house.
34:48Turns the corner.
34:49Ah.
34:50Whoa.
34:53This is like a Michelin star restaurant now.
34:57Wow.
34:59The space just feels different.
35:01All we really did, bro, is take out this wall.
35:03Yeah.
35:04That's it.
35:04Yeah.
35:05And it feels so much bigger.
35:07It felt closed and gloomy in here.
35:11So the lighter cabinets now with the light countertops really brighten the space up.
35:17We did want to make sure that the house felt elevated because it is such a unique and beautiful home.
35:23So we chose hiring materials.
35:25Yeah.
35:26What do you think of this hood vent?
35:27I like it.
35:28Yeah.
35:29It's such a vibe, dude.
35:31There isn't another house like this ever sold in this area.
35:35I've never seen a house like this sold ever.
35:38It's so unique, you know, and that's all because of your family.
35:41I'm stoked to hear that.
35:42Yeah.
35:42But it's set up for true entertaining, which leads you to this massive dining room.
35:48You set out the buffet and then you have like dinner parties.
35:51You see the wine rack.
35:53Yeah.
35:55A massive dining room table.
35:57We don't normally get to do this in a lot of the houses that we have, right?
36:00Especially in Hawaii, right?
36:01No, especially in Hawaii.
36:07Now we're going to the primary.
36:08Okay.
36:09You know where to go.
36:10You know where to go.
36:10I will lead the way.
36:11Okay.
36:12Wow.
36:14And look at the view you get now.
36:16This is the best part of the room.
36:17I mean, to see all that too, Pearl Harbor.
36:19From your bed.
36:19You can see all the ships.
36:20Yeah.
36:21From your bed.
36:21But this is cool.
36:22When you have a primary this big that you get a sitting area, this is why this is my favorite
36:28room.
36:28I know.
36:28It's so good.
36:31Check out this en suite.
36:32See what we did with it.
36:35Wow.
36:36I feel like I'm overusing the word wow, but it's your fault for making it so good.
36:42From floor to ceiling is what you want to see, but from floor to this ceiling is pretty awesome.
37:15Right?
37:17You can walk down and walk into a wall automatically.
37:18Right?
37:19But now it's nice big open landing.
37:22Yeah.
37:22To all the bedrooms.
37:23I think we go to these ones first.
37:25Okay.
37:25Okay.
37:26So we got this one staged as an office.
37:28This is perfect as an office.
37:29I like it.
37:30All this was here.
37:31We just freshened it up.
37:32Yeah.
37:36This one just feels so good.
37:39This is a better sleeping room, whereas that was a good office space.
37:44So this is the bathroom for this living area, this sleeping area.
37:49This is the one that had all the water damage.
37:52It was totally open.
37:54This was just brought into the future.
37:59He's going straight in.
38:01There we go.
38:03Wow.
38:04I mean, this was your room.
38:07What do you see?
38:08Tell me what you really see.
38:10What is that?
38:10We took them to my cousin's shop, Keina.
38:13Yeah.
38:13And then they refinished them.
38:15Now they're the same, but upgraded.
38:19Doesn't it look like it was supposed to be in here?
38:22It fits in there perfectly.
38:24Like a glove.
38:25This is awesome.
38:26We said we were going to try and keep it, and we kept our word.
38:29Last level, guys.
38:31The Rumpus Room.
38:33Oh, wow.
38:40The Rumpus Room.
38:42Oh, wow.
38:43Wow, wow.
38:45This room is fun.
38:46It has life again.
38:49Can you just imagine, though?
38:50Like, this is the party room.
38:52Like, this is where-
38:52It always was.
38:53Yeah.
38:54This room just felt old.
38:57You didn't want to spend time down here.
38:59Nope.
39:00Who would not want to spend time down there now?
39:06Even behind you, the-
39:07Got a dry bar right here.
39:09And then you have the views still.
39:10The views.
39:11You know, like, it checks a lot of boxes.
39:13But before you walk out, you need to get in the sauna.
39:15Yeah, we're going to make you get in the sauna, bro.
39:18Is it-
39:19Is it getting hot?
39:20I mean, this was your idea, after all.
39:23I need armrests.
39:24Nah.
39:25You should have ordered one with armrests, then.
39:30All right.
39:31Let's check out the outside.
39:32The deck.
39:33With the new and improved view.
39:36Wow.
39:37Now it feels like you can enjoy the space.
39:39Before it was just, didn't feel like it was usable.
39:45It's enough space to have a dinner party, if you wanted.
39:49To put a barbecue grill in the corner.
39:51This is the backyard.
39:53You can't beat this view, dude.
39:54No, you really can't.
39:55Ford Island, Pearl Harbor.
39:57It's so good.
39:58It's so crazy cool back here.
40:01You saw the house.
40:02Yeah.
40:02All of its levels.
40:04The design, the thoughtfulness of how you tied things that were already here.
40:08Yeah.
40:09To the finish, what that means to me is huge.
40:13My mother is the one that was in charge of the trust,
40:15and my grandparents' house was the last one to be sold.
40:19So it was really emotional for me to kind of, like,
40:23step back and just take a look at it, and, and, um,
40:29I'm getting a little emotional now, but the house is beautiful.
40:32They knocked it out of the park.
40:33It's been an honor, it's been a blessing,
40:35and we're grateful that you trusted us.
40:37We have Sean coming just to bounce numbers off of from a realtor perspective.
40:42I mean, this, that's just the little, little part of that.
40:45This is, this is gonna sell itself.
40:46It'll sell itself, right?
40:47Yeah.
40:48I feel like it couldn't have gone any better.
40:51The biggest compliment is when somebody tells you you did their house justice,
40:56and with Brooks having so many memories and experiences here, that means the world to us.
41:03I got the whole gang.
41:04You can stand with you.
41:05Oh, the whole gang.
41:05The whole gang today.
41:07Who's this?
41:07I hate guys.
41:08How are you?
41:09How are you?
41:09How are you?
41:10What's up, good?
41:10How are you?
41:11Good to see you.
41:12Good to see you.
41:14This is, like we were talking about, a very unique house.
41:17I had a really hard time finding anything that's even remotely close to this house
41:23that has ever sold in this area.
41:26We're trailblazing on this one.
41:28So what's the on-market price?
41:30That's the question.
41:31I was at $1.99.
41:33And you were much lower.
41:34This is the first.
41:36Yeah.
41:37And I think you're spot on.
41:38Like, I wouldn't want to put a two on there.
41:40It's really two.
41:41Yeah.
41:41But I'd always, as you guys know, I'd like to pull it back like 10,
41:44and it gives the perception.
41:45And I think we do $1.99.
41:47And then if it's supposed to jam over that, then 100% it will.
41:54So we're all in agreement.
41:56$1.99.
41:57Perfect.
41:58Let's go.
42:02Hi, Dad.
42:03What's up?
42:04You're on harmony.
42:22The house is blessed.
42:23And now it's time to put it on the market.
42:25Hey, how you doing, John?
42:26Good, Mike.
42:27How are you?
42:27Good to see you.
42:28Wow.
42:29Incredible.
42:30Oh, that looks amazing.
42:32Everything is focused on the view.
42:33Yeah.
42:34It's amazingly hidden from the street.
42:36You can't tell what's inside, can you?
42:39It's pretty incredible.
42:40Beautiful.
42:41So we had a ton of foot traffic through the open house.
42:45We ended up accepting an offer at $1,950,000,
42:51which means we netted a profit of $180,000 split between Brooks and us.
42:57It's always nice to sell a house to a local family.
43:01This family are local business owners.
43:02They contribute to the community.
43:04So nothing is better than that.
