Sell This House!

A large home with a bright sunny living room, located in a quiet and affordable neighborhood. Sandy and Gary have lived here for 31 years and raised their family in this home. Now it’s time for them to move on. But what’s the problem? Could it be the shag carpet, Sandy’s collectibles, and 31 years of clutter? At an open house, Sandy and Gary listen to the comments, then find out what host Tanya Memme and designer Roger Hazard have planned to address the issues–like bringing the house into the 21st century!

Located near Little Rock, Arkansas, Michael and Kaleena’s 3-bedroom home, with a huge backyard, is surrounded by a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities. But it’s been on the market for six months with no offers. After an open house to hear what potential homebuyers think, host Tanya Memme and designer Roger Hazard offer their plans to address the issues–brighten things up, banish clutter, and rid the house of its pesky wallpaper! And Roger updates the bathroom from 1940s to modern spa in just a couple of days!

Don and Owen have lived in this traditional northern New Mexico pitched-roof home with beautiful woodwork for seven years, and now they’re ready for a change. In the unique Art-Barn area of nearby Lamy, the houses have their own attached art studios surrounded by the solitude of the high desert. But the house isn’t moving and it’s time for another try. Will our designer Roger Hazard’s plans– to de-bachelorize and de-hippify Don and Owen’s desert getaway to get rid of that “used” feeling–work? Hosted by Tanya Memme.

It’s a custom-built house with a backyard pool on a whopping wooded lot. Large rooms, a spacious floor plan, and a fantastic fireplace should attract lots of interest. So why isn’t it selling? We hold our hidden-camera open house, and the vote is unanimous–the house is a throwback to the 1970s. The basic plan: Update the living spaces with fresh paint to highlight the architecture, remove clutter, and add some much needed class. Can we turn this ’70s A-frame into a clean, up-to-date retreat?

An historic home with great curb appeal, beautiful aged woodwork, and craftsman detail, in a popular neighborhood just minutes from downtown…it’s got everything a homebuyer could want…so why won’t anyone buy it? Kit and Spence have lived in their home for eight years, and now that Spencer is finishing his PhD, they are relocating to Colorado for work. After listening to comments at our hidden-camera open house, it’s designer Roger Hazard to the rescue, and has he got plans for the sunroom!
