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 Kamohai Kalama, 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. Wow. We want to
00:28restore homes for our local families. The real estate here is crazy expensive.
00:35So to make this work, we have to take on some of the most run-down homes on the
00:38island. Can you hear us? No! Disgusting. How do we do it? Our giant family. I have 87
00:47first cousins. Yo, what's up cuz? More than anything, we want our children to be good
00:53human beings. Exactly. You can'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
01:16all the battleships.
01:17Look at these views. That's Pearl Harbor right there. Yeah. Look at how big the house is. I mean,
01:24they're all massive. It's crazy. Today, we're on the west side of Aiea.
01:31Really historic suburban part of town. It's located just up the street from Pearl Harbor and the Aloha
01:39Stadium. The 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
01:53here. I mean, they're selling for around two mil. You know our good friend Brooks? Love Brooks. So he gave
01:59me a call, wanted to show us this house. Okay. He's done a couple projects already, right? He has. He's
02:06a
02:06mortgage broker, right? So he knows a ton about lending, but not so much about renovation 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
02:21been in their family and they are thinking about selling it. Is he meeting us here? Yeah. Right here on
02:28the right. Let's check it out. Brooks. Hey. What's up, buddy? How's it going, guys? Hey. So pretty up here.
02:37All right. Glad you guys could make it. How are you? Doing good. Yeah? Yeah, I'm excited. So what are
02:42you kind of looking for? What's the situation? So grandpa actually built it. Wow. He designed everything. For the most
02:49part, I think they just built this massive home. Yeah. And it was just them because at that age, all
02:54the kids just kind of went off and did their own
02:55things as adults do. But grandma and grandma passed away. So it's time to just kind of move on. And
03:01we need to sell the property. Yeah. The family's looking to get a million 80 for it. I mean, I
03:05looked it up a little bit. It's a five bed, three and a half bath, just under 4,000 square
03:11feet. And it's on a massive lot. Yeah, it's big. It's huge. Got really great bones. I think just more
03:17needs updating. Yeah. There were some water issues at one point, but I'd like to partner with you guys and
03:22collaborate to rehound it. On the renovation part. Yeah.
03:25Yeah. Um. Um. I mean, we could definitely put this on the MLS, but I know how thoughtful you guys
03:32are with properties, let alone somebody who has a connection to it. So you guys were the first thought. Look,
03:38I'll give you the keys and then let me know what you think afterwards. Okay. Okay. I'll give you a
03:41call. Typically, we don't like to do partnerships because there are so many moving pieces from funding to construction to
03:52design.
03:52We like to be in control to ensure that we're going to have a successful project. This is a massive
04:00house. That in itself is a huge challenge. You add in that Brooks has an emotional connection to this house
04:07like no other. So that could very much so complicate things.
04:13And we're in. Oh my gosh. Wow. Holy crap. These are 20 foot ceilings. It makes it feel massive in
04:23here.
04:24This house in its prime. You can tell was like it architectural digest it. This elevated living room. Look at
04:34this wallpaper. Look at that tile. Look at these light fixtures. This is like an 80s time capsule. I've never
04:42seen anything like this.
04:44But there's noticeable signs of wear. I mean, cracks in the paint around the beams. There's a lot of stuff.
04:50But the fact that Brooks' grandpa designed and built it is so rad.
04:55I've never been in a raised living room. Look at the view. Oh my gosh. We are set up on
05:02the top of the mountain.
05:04Well, that is what's going to help sell the house. So far, so good. Yeah. What's behind this wall?
05:10All right. Kitchen. Definitely dated. Older cabs. Older countertops. It's also an underwhelming island. It looks solid, though. I don't
05:20think we'd have to do too much here.
05:23And I don't know if we've ever said that before. Ever. Never. Not in the kitchens we normally buy.
05:30What do you think this room was? Like a loungy living space?
05:34Look at these built-ins. These are expensive. Something like this would probably run for about 10 grand.
05:42You don't just see furniture made like this anymore. Yeah. We should figure out how to incorporate it back if
05:47we move forward.
05:48Super cool. Yeah, we haven't even gone down the stairs yet. Yeah. Let's continue on.
05:52Yeah. Is this primary? This room is gigantic. Holy crap.
05:56Look at how big it is. And then like, look at the view. What? Bruh. Massive picture window.
06:04It's panoramic. Is that a bathroom around there? Yes. You have a huge bathroom. Obviously needs to be updated, but
06:11like, we're in really good shape.
06:12I mean, yeah. Okay, one more floor. I think there's one more floor.
06:17I've seen a lot of doors, babe.
06:20I feel like I'm now in a closed off dark maze.
06:23So it looks like there's four bedrooms on this level and two bathrooms. I'll go right.
06:27And I'll go left. You go left. Okay.
06:30Babe, what do you see over there?
06:31Two bedrooms and a bathroom.
06:34I got two bedrooms and a bathroom on this side.
06:37I think we're starting to see where that 4,000 square feet is coming from.
06:42But like, there is another floor. One more.
06:45Oh my gosh.
06:47This is another living room?
06:49I like it because there's a ton of different options that we could do down here.
06:54This is where all the kids hang out.
06:55Or a game room or something.
06:57I think they call these a rumpus room.
07:01I mean, this is definitely one of the more rough spaces.
07:04You gotta scrape the ceilings, flooring.
07:06Change the windows.
07:07Gotta rip drywall.
07:07I mean, there's a lot of work down here.
07:09But now I finally see what I wanted to see, which is the deck.
07:13I want to get out to that deck.
07:15Wow, babe. This is what it's about.
07:18This is everything right here.
07:20This is why people live in Hawaii.
07:22I mean, you can see the Arizona Memorial, all of Pearl Harbor.
07:26You see Ford Island.
07:27I know. You see it all.
07:29The lot goes all the way down to that street down there.
07:32The bummer is...
07:34It's not usable.
07:34But I don't know if the person buying this house is buying it for a yard.
07:39They're buying it for the size.
07:40They're buying it for the location.
07:41They're buying it for the view.
07:43What do you think we could sell this for?
07:44This is the thing.
07:45Houses in this area sell over $2 million.
07:49ARV is going to be like right under $2 million.
07:52The family wants $1,080,000.
07:54If we're looking at a 12-week timeline,
07:56that'll be about $250,000 in holding costs, selling costs.
08:01A renovation is going to be...
08:02For sure is $350,000.
08:05That's a $320,000 profit.
08:08Which is a no-brainer.
08:10But it's not 100% ours.
08:13And if we have another party providing feedback and chiming in on things,
08:18it just could become really stressful.
08:20I mean, we know there's three parts to the deal.
08:24There's the money.
08:25There's the deal itself.
08:27Yep.
08:28And it's the construction experience.
08:30He brought the deal.
08:31Exactly.
08:32That's 30%.
08:32Just to keep it clean.
08:34Right.
08:34I mean, he's still walking away with just under $100,000.
08:39And we're walking away with $220,000.
08:42On a deal this size with that much renovation costs, we need that buffer.
08:46I mean, that's a really good margin.
08:48This house is super unique.
08:49And I think it would be very helpful to Brooks and its family.
08:53I'm down to take it on.
08:55You just have to figure out the partnership.
08:57I'll give him a call.
08:58We'll set up a lunch.
08:59And then we'll go from there.
09:00Okay.
09:01Sounds good, babe.
09:02Let's go lock up.
09:13Yo, what's up?
09:15What's up, brother?
09:16What's up, brother?
09:17How are you?
09:17Good.
09:18Oh, right on.
09:19I mean, I did the polite thing.
09:22You want something to drink?
09:24Are you excited?
09:25I am.
09:27Yeah.
09:27Yeah.
09:28I really wanted to get you over here to just nail out, like, the partnership thing.
09:33Okay.
09:33In my head, what would make sense is we split the profit 70-30.
09:44Our plan was to bring the construction design and the funding, and you're bringing the deal.
09:52To be honest, I was actually thinking 70-30 my way.
09:56Yeah.
09:57I also have the ability to get funding, and I love you guys' design, and that's what I was really
10:02looking for.
10:03The one-third is from you guys.
10:05I mean, I'll be completely transparent.
10:08If that was the way it was going to be, then we probably wouldn't be a part of the deal.
10:15There is a level of control that we need at this price point, and how much risk is involved.
10:24There's a lot of risk on my side, too.
10:26There's literally no way we'd be able to do it for that.
10:32I don't know if I've stressed it enough to you, is this isn't just about the money.
10:36This is a family legacy.
10:38This is a property.
10:39So having less than 50%, it's almost like taking away the bloodline component for it.
10:46And that's where I would need to be at the very minimum in order to feel good about this whole
10:51thing.
10:51Okay.
10:52So you're saying, I mean, 50, you'd be good with?
10:5750% is, yeah, I'm actually comfortable with that.
11:00It feels good inside.
11:01So you're bringing half of the money.
11:04You brought the deal.
11:05We'll bring the other half of the money, and we'll have final say on construction and design.
11:13I'm done with that.
11:14Down?
11:15Yeah.
11:16All I ask is that the cabinets that my grandpa built stay in the house.
11:1950-50.
11:2050-50.
11:21You ready?
11:21Yeah, let's go.
11:22Let's go.
11:24After talking it through, Brooks and I made a deal to purchase the property at $1,080,000
11:30and a 50-50 partnership.
11:32Brooks' family was super stoked that we were able to pay them exactly what they needed.
11:38And with that, it's time to clear up the house and start demo.
11:47What's up, guys?
11:48Yo.
11:49You guys ready?
11:50Yep.
11:51How are you feeling?
11:52It's kind of emotional but exciting at the same time.
11:55I made my peace with this.
11:58Yeah.
11:58So I couldn't come into this if I didn't already do that.
12:01Yeah.
12:01Well, I'm going to let you take the first swing then.
12:03Yes.
12:05Okay.
12:05So everything's cleared out?
12:06Yep.
12:07So let's go kitchen.
12:08Okay.
12:09The main change for this level.
12:11It's the kitchen.
12:12So the footprint is staying here.
12:15We're going to tear down this wall, opening it up to the hallway and shift the island over to make
12:21the space feel even bigger than it is now.
12:23When you go down into the primary, I want to make the two closets one large walk-in closet and
12:29then open up the bathroom to create the space for dual vanities and a freestanding tub.
12:34And on the floor with all of the bedrooms, I want to push that wall back and make it feel
12:39less cramped with clear entries into each room.
12:42We can gut all the bathrooms.
12:43We can gut the kitchen.
12:44All the built-ins that Brooke's grandpa had are being kept.
12:48Do not break those.
12:49Trav and I can get started on taking those down.
12:52So there's not much change to the layout at all.
12:55No.
12:55So we were already working with something that's pretty awesome.
12:58Yes.
12:58We'll stay in the kitchen.
12:59First crack at the kitchen.
13:01Let's do it.
13:20Oh, man.
13:20This one's all butt-separity.
13:25Oh, my gosh.
13:27Is that water damage?
13:28Yeah.
13:29We cannot lose these.
13:31I mean, new ones are like 10 grand.
13:33Guys, Brooks, babe.
13:35Yeah.
13:35What is that?
13:36Water damage?
13:37I think it's water damage.
13:39Is it like that on all the rest?
13:41I don't know.
13:43Gosh.
13:45How does that one look?
13:47Oh, you guys, this one has it, too.
13:48Not.
13:49Yeah.
13:50Oh, my goodness.
13:52I pictured this with these still in the property.
13:55I know.
13:57I don't know if I can salvage this.
14:01We got really skilled woodworkers in the family.
14:05There's a chance he can recreate it to make it look like it was.
14:09We just have to make sure he can do it.
14:12I mean, didn't mean for it to start out like this, but we'll do our best to keep them.
14:16Let's just keep going.
14:17Yeah.
14:20I mean, it's looking good.
14:21We just got to get the rest of Kareem here and clear this out so we can start working.
14:24Yep.
14:37Our permits got approved.
14:39So the guys are finishing up demo at the house.
14:41They're tearing down all the drywall to inspect to see if there's any other water damage.
14:46Once that's done, they can start framing for new windows and bedroom placement.
14:52Then they can move on to electrical and plumbing rough-in.
14:58Dude, what is with all of this rain?
15:01The storm's just supposed to get worse.
15:03Holy crap.
15:05It is all opened up.
15:07Huge.
15:08I know, it does.
15:09Look at how much brighter it is in here and all this natural light just shooting through the house.
15:16You think this kitchen is going to be big enough?
15:18For the price point, it needs to be tippity-top-notch.
15:21It can't just be big.
15:23It has to be amazing.
15:25The thing is, it's jinx.
15:27That's your...
15:28That's your jinx.
15:29No take-backs.
15:30So do you want to see what I designed?
15:32Yeah.
15:36I mean, I see a ton of material here, but we have a massive house.
15:40So, like, I noticed something right off the bat.
15:43This looks like the tile that's already in the house.
15:46Because it is.
15:47It's a front landing tile we're salvaging and keeping.
15:50That's the inspo for this entire house.
15:53Cool.
15:53Moving on to the kitchen, I think we go with a white oak cabinet.
15:57And then we do a two-toned countertop.
15:59So a clean white on the perimeter that also is the backsplash.
16:04And then we do a dark gray concrete-like on the kitchen island.
16:08We have bronze finishes with the statement piece being a bronze hood vent.
16:16It's bold.
16:17It's bold.
16:17Like, we've never done something like that.
16:18And then over there in the dining room off the kitchen, I want to do wine racks.
16:22Floor to ceiling, wine racks that frame out this big picture window.
16:26That makes it look very beautiful and is a statement in this dining room area.
16:31I like it.
16:31And then to wrap it all up, I think the downstairs can make a great game room, hangout spot, recreation
16:38area.
16:39I'm thinking pool table or poker table or on a dry bar.
16:44And then I'm still working on the rest, but I think it's a good start.
16:47That all sounds unreal.
16:49I think the house is going to be amazing.
16:51The next step is scaffolding.
16:53Yeah.
16:53I've got to get a trap on that.
16:55We've never worked on a house that's this high off the ground.
16:58Never.
16:59So I made sure that we had $10,000 in the budget for scaffolding.
17:03We're going to be having to paint the exterior any time now.
17:05I think we go dark on the exterior.
17:07I'm feeling a super dark, earthy green with a black trim.
17:11It'll break up some of the color patterns, so I need to know where we're lining with that.
17:16Let's get it ordered.
17:17I'm going to actually take a photo of all this stuff out and send it to Brooks.
17:21Do it.
17:22He's going to love it.
17:31The guys are continuing to work on the interior this week with plumbing rough-in.
17:35While Travis is working on getting bids for the scaffolding, so exterior paint can get started
17:40soon as well as drywall.
17:42Oh, what's up, guys?
17:43Yo.
17:44It's rain.
17:45Isn't it wonderful?
17:46I know.
17:47It's not fun.
17:47It's away weather for you.
17:49Yeah.
17:49It's raining here, but it's not five minutes down the road.
17:52Yeah.
17:52So where are we at with scaffolding?
17:53I got three guys that came out.
17:56Yeah.
17:56They're all landing around $35,000.
17:59They're $35,000?
18:01That's for a 28-day rental.
18:04Oh, my gosh.
18:04Are you kidding me?
18:05Yeah.
18:06We budgeted $10,000 for the scaffolding.
18:08I mean, that's a $25,000 hit to the budget.
18:14We don't buy houses with elevations like this.
18:17We don't ever come across them either.
18:19That even required the substantial amount of scaffolding.
18:22I mean, we had no clue how much it really was going to cost, but no one expected $35,000.
18:27I feel like that's like a commercial-style pricing when I'm doing a whole building.
18:32Well, I just don't know what the alternative is.
18:35To hit the ARV that you're trying to do, you kind of have to pull out all these bells and
18:38whistles
18:39and change out windows and make sure there's fresh paint on the house.
18:42And so to not do that would hurt us even more, I feel like.
18:46I'll get on the phone with Brooks and keep going.
18:51Yo.
18:52Yeah, I have some not-so-fun news.
18:55A $25,000 hit is rough on any project.
18:58We have a good margin on this house, which normally would make this hit easier to take,
19:04but we do have a partner, and now both of us are taking this hit.
19:09We just figured this out.
19:10I wanted to let you know.
19:11All right.
19:12Okay.
19:13Bye.
19:15So I'm trying to achieve that, and I hope that that's what's happening.
19:19What did he say?
19:21I mean, he's bummed, but he also trusts us, so understands that this kind of stuff comes up.
19:26We just have to get there.
19:28We're going to get there.
19:33Has Trav and the Teep keep pushing ahead at the house?
19:35We're headed to my cousin Kia Aina's wood shop in Kaneohe
19:38to see if we can fix these water damage cabinets.
19:42All right.
19:46Oh!
19:46Hey, guys.
19:47Hi.
19:47How's it going?
19:48What's up?
19:48Nice to see you.
19:49You too.
19:50We bring goodies.
19:51Super.
19:52That's right, man.
19:52Okay.
19:53Oh, what do you got today?
19:55These are from a renovation that we're doing right now.
19:58We want to put this back into the house.
20:00Okay.
20:01You can tell they're in a little bit rough shape.
20:03They've seen better days.
20:04Maybe we bring one inside and you guys can take a look at it.
20:07Oh, these are heavy, too.
20:07It's heavy for me.
20:08Yeah, they're heavy.
20:09So.
20:10Let's go.
20:15We ended up partnering on this house with the grandson.
20:20Right.
20:20And so it just would mean a lot if we salvaged and, like, kept them.
20:25Totally salvageable.
20:26Yeah.
20:26Totally, yeah.
20:27You feel this right here.
20:28You can feel that little dip.
20:29Yeah.
20:30That's a good thing.
20:30That tells you it's thick.
20:31It's thick.
20:32Yeah.
20:32Yeah.
20:33That'll get it really smooth.
20:34Okay.
20:34Take whatever's off on here and then try rubbing in a hard wax.
20:39I like that idea.
20:40Cool.
20:40Okay, cool.
20:41Okay.
20:41Well, I appreciate it.
20:42Yeah, absolutely.
20:43Yeah.
20:43I know.
20:44Yeah.
20:44Thanks for coming by.
20:45Yeah.
20:45Appreciate it, man.
20:46Shoot.
20:47Always nice to see you.
20:48Always.
20:48Now, if only you had a cousin that did scaffolding.
20:58Now that we have scaffolding at the house, the guys can get started on exterior paint and installing
21:03the windows.
21:05While all of that is happening outside, drywall can get started inside.
21:20Okay.
21:21What do you think?
21:22I love it, but it's my favorite color, so what do you think?
21:26I mean, we went bold going this dark.
21:29It's a huge house and this front facade is so unique.
21:33Yeah.
21:33I feel like the green elevates the space.
21:36We still have to figure out what we're going to do out here.
21:39Oh, yeah.
21:39And I don't know what that is.
21:42Yeah.
21:43I'm like, this is blocking the whole thing.
21:45What is this?
21:45Is it an appliance?
21:48It's to Brooks.
21:50What is he ordering?
21:51Why would he order anything without talking to us?
21:54I would just text him.
21:55Like, what is this, girl?
21:56No, I'm going to text him.
21:57All right.
21:58Well, let's check out inside.
22:00I mean, they're hanging drywall, but...
22:02I mean, almost.
22:04Is there more?
22:05They started on the bottom.
22:07Oh, yeah.
22:08All down here is Kung.
22:11Oh, Brooks just texted.
22:12He just pulled up.
22:16Yo.
22:17What's up?
22:18What do you think of the exterior?
22:20Dude, I like it.
22:21Do you like it?
22:22I like it.
22:23It's sick, right?
22:24Yeah.
22:24Everybody's going to be green with envy.
22:26Okay, but the real question is, what the heck is this?
22:30Oh, my God.
22:30I'm so excited for this.
22:31It's a sauna.
22:34What?
22:34For this house?
22:36Yes.
22:36In the rumpus room.
22:39No.
22:40Yes.
22:41The opportunity presented itself, and I had to act quick.
22:44I got half off.
22:46That's a deal.
22:47I thought you guys would be more excited.
22:49This is not just a small thing, right?
22:52We're at drywall already.
22:54This isn't a small house, either.
22:55This is a huge change.
22:57It requires drywall.
22:59You've got to run electrical.
23:01I mean, we don't even know how to install one of these.
23:04Bro, when we sat down and talked about this part, you agreed that we would be in charge
23:09of the design.
23:11This is a problem.
23:13Okay.
23:18I really envision it being more like a workout, relaxation, recovery.
23:23Where we were going to do the second living room, family area.
23:27I know.
23:27I mean, you think about the type of people that we want to attract, the buyers.
23:30I think this is a really good feature.
23:32I think it's a feature for sure.
23:34But, like, can you just plug this in?
23:36Because we can't.
23:37Ruffin for electrical is done.
23:38Yeah.
23:39Plug and play.
23:39Okay.
23:40We can make it work.
23:41It just has to feel intentional and well thought out.
23:44We have to get our heads together and really figure out where it's going to go.
23:54So, we're working with the dry bar and these windows.
23:58And you have the sliders.
23:59It has to go somewhere on that side.
24:01On that side.
24:02If you're leaning into the workout thing and you put, like, a mirror and then you have,
24:06like, weights in this corner.
24:08Yeah.
24:09So, it feels more intentional.
24:10And then you still have the rompus part, right?
24:13This would blend into kind of a recreational space.
24:16Exactly.
24:17I mean, I'm not mad at it.
24:19It is a sizzle feature that not many houses have that ours does.
24:23That being said, no more surprises.
24:25No cold plunges.
24:27You bet.
24:28Just text me next time.
24:39As we come into the final few weeks, the pace is picking up at this IA of Mansion.
24:44We got dry-on paint being finished as flooring and cabinets arrive.
24:53This house is absolutely massive and a lot still needs to get done.
24:57I mean, so we're just trying to jump in wherever we can.
25:00I need to get this for Bubba so he can do his kicks.
25:04The sauna installers are here.
25:06We have the flooring material that's going to delineate one side from the other side.
25:13It's going to be really cool.
25:16Although it was a last-minute surprise, you have to do things to houses that set yourself apart.
25:22And this addition from Brooks is definitely doing that.
25:30We could all three fit in here.
25:31Come on.
25:32Come on, truck.
25:33Get in here.
25:34They're going to come back and I'm like, yes, what's top on, please?
25:37Meeting is officially adjourned.
25:40Let's sweat together.
25:42Right on, Brooks.
25:44Good call.
25:44Good call, Brooks.
25:50We're at the very tail end of this project.
25:52All the finishing touches really that take the longest.
25:56I'm just excited to see it all come together.
26:11Whoa.
26:15You good?
26:16Yeah, I'm fine.
26:17Okay, can we do volleys?
26:18Okay, yeah, be careful.
26:20I know, I have all my pads on.
26:22You don't have a helmet on.
26:23I don't have a helmet.
26:25Yeah, you do.
26:26I mean, we're at the very end of this project and it's just a crazy week.
26:31We have so much going on and the kids are home from fall break.
26:34So we're just juggling, working from home, doing our best.
26:41I have to take this phone call.
26:43How's it going, Brooks?
26:45I know, I could not tell.
26:49Perfect.
26:50Sounds good.
26:51I'll see you there.
26:52Okay, bye.
26:54All right, back out.
26:56All right.
26:57Babe.
26:58Well, I just got a phone call.
27:00Okay.
27:01From Brooks.
27:03He has some design suggestions.
27:07What do you mean by design suggestions?
27:10He wants to change the paint color in the primary from white to gray.
27:14Why?
27:15We can't color drench a room gray.
27:18We're 10 days out.
27:19Changing anything 10 days out involves a lot of time and a lot of money and we can't do it.
27:25It's a no.
27:25I mean, I can give him a call and I'll talk to him.
27:27I'm sure he'll understand.
27:30Stop kicking the door.
27:33Bubba, you're going to break it.
27:36Okay.
27:37What's up, bud?
27:38I was calling about the house.
27:41We know how much this house means to you and we're almost done, right?
27:46Like we're at the tail end.
27:48You've been a part of it the entire way, but we really want to try and surprise you with
27:56a fully finished product.
27:58So I'm asking you.
28:00We're asking.
28:01We're asking you if you can hold off from coming by.
28:06And just trust us to get it to the finish line.
28:11Yes.
28:12Okay.
28:13I can.
28:14I can.
28:14You promise?
28:15Do you promise?
28:17Yes.
28:18I appreciate it.
28:19I do agree.
28:20Okay.
28:21Thanks, buddy.
28:22Bye.
28:22Bye.
28:23Bye.
28:27And let the disco begin.
28:30Are you a little DJ?
28:31DJ made it out here?
28:37That's not how you dance.
28:38Did you just whoop whoop?
28:39Yeah.
28:45Okay.
28:46This looks good.
28:47I mean, we're so close.
28:48There's still a lot of other things that can happen.
28:57Things are wrapping up, but there's still a ton to do.
29:01We got staging coming, and Trav just called me and said that we have a huge problem with
29:05the tub.
29:07This is the tub?
29:08This is like the final thing?
29:10This is that.
29:12Holy s***.
29:13What happened?
29:16Yeah, no, it's the whole...
29:18It's totally...
29:21I've never seen a tub this...
29:23It just arrived like this.
29:25This tub took, like, five weeks to get here.
29:27I already called.
29:28They're going to expedite it.
29:30It's going to be two weeks.
29:32We are ready to install.
29:34Like, we're not getting the house cleaned in two days.
29:36Like, we are ready.
29:37We can't not have a tub in that bathroom.
29:39it's going to turn buyers away.
29:44We can't have nothing there.
29:46We can't afford to push off listing the house,
29:50but we just have nothing like this on island.
29:53Thoughts are we could basically drop it in place
29:55and dry fit it,
29:56then you can get photos onto market and all of that.
29:59And the second it comes in, just swap it out.
30:02Let's do that.
30:02We'll get a towel that hangs over so we can proceed.
30:07That's the creative solution.
30:08It's a good solution.
30:09Well, I don't feel like we have a choice,
30:11so it is what it is.
30:12But we have tracking for the new tub.
30:14We got to make sure it gets here
30:15and gets swapped out like ASAP.
30:24It has been a journey.
30:25It has been a journey on this one.
30:28We're so close.
30:29Furniture is the final piece,
30:31and you have to nail it.
30:32So I'm not putting any pressure on you at all.
30:35You're right here with me, brother.
30:37We're always trying to elevate our staging and our houses,
30:41and on a house this big, it is scary.
30:45It's a challenge, for sure.
30:47I'm just giving you a little pat on the back
30:50before this craziness happens.
30:53Thanks.
30:54The truck's here.
30:55Oh.
30:55Guess.
30:56The truck is here.
30:59So the L sectional's right there in the corner.
31:03We're going with an elevated, mature, sexy vibe,
31:07and it's like you have to have furniture
31:10that feels that same way
31:12to really bring everything together.
31:14It's the jewelry with the dress.
31:16It's the shoes with the outfit.
31:18Yes, for men.
31:21Brooks is going to be here in less than 24 hours,
31:23and everything has to be perfect.
31:25Let's go.
31:42I've got to test it out.
31:47Who knew a towel could be so useful?
31:50It looks good as new.
31:51I mean, come on.
31:54It's really good, babe.
31:55This is one of my favorites.
31:57Do you think Brooks is going to like it?
31:58I think Brooks is going to love it.
31:59He should be here any second.
32:02Oh, he just pulled up, babe.
32:04You ready?
32:05Yep, I am.
32:06Let's go.
32:07What's up?
32:07What's up, brother?
32:08How are you?
32:09Good, good.
32:10Oh, my gosh.
32:11The day has come.
32:12Yes, it has.
32:15Just from the outside,
32:16it's a completely different house.
32:17We just breathe life really back into it.
32:21This makes the house stand out
32:22from the neighborhood now.
32:23Oh, 100%.
32:24Yeah, because when you walk down the driveway,
32:26you just kind of, your line of sight does this,
32:28and your color schemes are always so on point.
32:31I mean, before, the exterior was like a beige,
32:34and it honestly is pretty timeless,
32:36but for us, we're like, nah, we've got to jazz it up.
32:41What was really important
32:42is that we did the family house justice.
32:46This is a one-of-a-kind family.
32:48This is a one-of-a-kind house.
32:49I'm excited to show you inside.
32:51I'm excited, too.
32:53Are you ready?
32:57Wow.
32:59Oh, man.
33:00Did I pick the perfect partners?
33:02Draws you in, right?
33:04Yeah.
33:05Look at this, right?
33:09I think I actually want to spend time up here now.
33:11Yeah.
33:12And, like, take it in.
33:13Like, the view just comes straight in now.
33:17I feel like I'm walking to a different environment
33:19that wasn't here ever before.
33:21Right, right.
33:22But all these moments were already here.
33:24We just brightened it.
33:27Modern and sophisticated,
33:29but it still has that island feel to it.
33:32100%.
33:32All of the heart and soul of this home
33:35is all still here.
33:37And what do you think about the wallpaper
33:39and the foyer?
33:40Your grandparents had something similar
33:42that I absolutely loved,
33:43and I wanted to pay homage to it.
33:45I like that.
33:46Yeah.
33:47Even the tile, the entry tile.
33:49Oh, that was never going anywhere.
33:51That was a whole ensemble for this whole house.
33:54Turns the corner.
33:56Ah.
33:56Whoa.
33:59This is like a Michelin star restaurant now.
34:04Wow.
34:05The space just feels different.
34:07All we really did, bro, is take out this wall.
34:10Yeah.
34:10That's it.
34:11Yeah.
34:11And it feels so much bigger.
34:13It felt closed and gloomy in here.
34:17So the lighter cabinets now,
34:19the light countertops,
34:20really brighten the space up.
34:23We did want to make sure
34:25that the house felt elevated
34:27because it is such a unique and beautiful home,
34:29so we chose hiring materials.
34:31Yeah, what do you think of this hood vent?
34:33I like it.
34:34It's such a vibe, dude.
34:36There isn't another house like this
34:39ever sold in this area.
34:40I've never seen a house like this sold ever.
34:43Oh.
34:43It's so unique, you know,
34:45and that's all because of your family.
34:46I'm stoked to hear that.
34:48But it's set up for true entertaining,
34:50which leads you to this massive dining room.
34:53You set out the buffet,
34:55and then you have, like, dinner parties.
34:56You see the wine rack.
34:58Yeah.
35:00A massive dining room table.
35:02We don't normally get to do this
35:03in a lot of the houses that we have, right?
35:05Especially in Hawaii, right?
35:06No, especially in Hawaii.
35:11Now we're going to the primary.
35:13Okay.
35:13You know where it is.
35:14You know where to go.
35:15Yes, I will leave the way.
35:16Okay.
35:17Wow.
35:18And look at the view you get now.
35:20This is the best part of the room.
35:21I mean, to see all that, too, Pearl Harbor.
35:23From your bed.
35:23You can see all the ships.
35:24Yeah.
35:25From your bed.
35:26But this is cool.
35:26When you have a primary this big
35:28that you get a sitting area,
35:30this is why this is my favorite room.
35:32I know.
35:33It's so good.
35:35Check out this en suite.
35:36See what we did with it.
35:38Wow.
35:40I feel like I'm overusing the word wow,
35:43but it's your fault for making it so good.
35:46From floor to ceiling is what you want to see,
35:48but from floor to this ceiling is pretty awesome.
35:51Right?
35:51This is over-the-top five-star luxury hotel vibe.
35:56And you get your own makeup station.
35:58For the ladies.
36:00At this price point house, never.
36:02These little things that add a lot of value.
36:06Magnifique.
36:06It's magnifique.
36:07See?
36:08Michelin star, I told you.
36:09Do they have Michelin star bathrooms?
36:10But if they did, you just got one.
36:15Okay, already coming down the stairs.
36:16Huge change.
36:17Huge change.
36:18I don't feel like I'm going to step down
36:20and walk into a wall automatically.
36:21Right?
36:22But now it's nice, big, open landing
36:24to all the bedrooms.
36:26I think we go to these ones first.
36:27Okay.
36:28Okay.
36:28So we got this one staged as an office.
36:31This is perfect as an office.
36:32I like it.
36:32All this was here.
36:33We were just freshening it up.
36:34Yeah.
36:39This one just feels so good.
36:42This is a better sleeping room,
36:44whereas that was a good office space.
36:47So this is the bathroom for this living area,
36:49this sleeping area.
36:51This is the one that had all the water damage.
36:54It was totally open.
36:56This was just brought into the future.
37:01He's going straight in.
37:03There we go.
37:05Wow.
37:06I mean, this was your room.
37:08What do you see?
37:10Tell me what you really see.
37:11What is that?
37:12We took them to my cousin's shop,
37:14Kia Aina.
37:14Yeah.
37:15And then they refinished them.
37:17Now they're the same, but upgraded.
37:21Doesn't it look like it was supposed to be in here?
37:24It fits in there perfectly.
37:25It fits in there perfectly.
37:25Like a glove.
37:26This is awesome.
37:27We said we were going to try and keep it,
37:29and we kept our word.
37:31Last level, guys.
37:32The Rompest Room.
37:34Oh, wow.
37:40The Rompest Room.
37:42Oh, wow.
37:44This room is fun.
37:45It has life again.
37:48Can you just imagine, though,
37:49like this is the party room?
37:51It always was.
37:52Yeah.
37:54This room just felt old.
37:57You didn't want to spend time down here.
37:58Nope.
37:59Who would not want to spend time down there now?
38:05Even behind you, the-
38:06You got a dry bar right here.
38:08And then you have the view still.
38:09The view still.
38:10You know, like, it checks a lot of boxes.
38:12But before you walk out, you need to get in the sauna.
38:14Yeah, we're going to make you get in that sauna, bro.
38:17Is it getting hot?
38:19I mean, this was your idea, after all.
38:21I need armrests.
38:24You should have ordered one with armrests.
38:28All right.
38:29Let's check out the outside.
38:30The deck.
38:32With the new and improved view.
38:34Wow.
38:35Now it feels like you can enjoy the space.
38:38Before, it was just-
38:39Mm-hmm.
38:39Didn't feel like it was usable.
38:43It's enough space to have a dinner party,
38:46if you wanted, to put a barbecue grill in the corner.
38:49This is the backyard.
38:50You can't beat this view, dude.
38:52No.
38:53You really can't.
38:54No, you really can't.
39:20Step back and just take a look at it, and, and, um, I'm getting a little emotional now,
39:27but the house is beautiful.
39:29They knocked it out of the park.
39:30It's been an honor.
39:31It's been a blessing, and we're grateful that you trusted us.
39:34We have Sean coming just to bounce numbers off of from a realtor perspective.
39:39I mean, this, that's just a little, little part of that.
39:41This is, this is gonna sell itself.
39:43It'll sell itself, right?
39:44Yeah.
39:44I feel like it couldn't have gone any better.
39:48The biggest compliment is when somebody tells you you did their house justice, and with
39:54Brooks having so many memories and experiences here, that means the world to us.
39:59I got the whole gang.
40:01Oh, the whole gang.
40:01The whole gang today.
40:03Who's this?
40:03Hi.
40:04Hi.
40:04How are you?
40:05How are you?
40:05I'm good.
40:07How are you?
40:07Good to see you.
40:08Good to see you.
40:10This is, like we were talking about, a very unique house.
40:13I had a really hard time finding anything that's even remotely close to this house that
40:19has ever sold in this area.
40:22We're trailblazing on this one.
40:23So what's the on-market price?
40:25That's the question.
40:26I was at $199.
40:28And you were much lower.
40:29This is the first.
40:31Yeah.
40:32And I think you're spot on.
40:33Like, I wouldn't want to put a two on there.
40:35It's really a two.
40:36Yeah.
40:36But I'd always, as you guys know, I'd like to pull it back like 10 and it gives the perception.
40:41I think we'd do $199.
40:42And then if it's supposed to-
40:45Drive up, it will.
40:46Jam over that, then 100% it will.
40:49So we're all in agreement?
40:51$199.
40:52Perfect.
40:53Let's go.
40:57Hi, Dad.
40:58I'm sure you're not harmony.
41:16The house is blessed.
41:17And now it's time to put it on the market.
41:19Hey, how you doing, John?
41:20How are you?
41:21Good to see you.
41:21Good to see you.
41:22Wow.
41:23Incredible.
41:24Oh, that looks amazing.
41:26Everything is focused on the view.
41:27Yeah.
41:28It's amazingly hidden from the street.
41:30You can't tell what's inside, can you?
41:33It's pretty incredible.
41:33Beautiful.
41:35So we had a ton of foot traffic through the open house.
41:39We ended up accepting an offer at $1,950,000, which means we netted a profit of $180,000 split
41:50between Brooks and us.
41:51It's always nice to sell a house to a local family.
41:54This family are local business owners.
41:56They contribute to the community.
41:57So nothing is better than that.
