Jason and Christine are budget sellers who hate agents. They can’t understand why you would part with thousands of dollars in commission when you could sell the home yourself. After all, it can’t be THAT hard! Seven months ago they listed their modest Brisbane house on a do-it-yourself sell internet site. To save even more money, they didn’t bother to order a sign or any marketing materials. The sole advertising push was down to one single website. It’s no great surprise that the house hasn’t sold and there’s been precious little interest. Can Andrew persuade our budget conscious couple that agents are worth the commission, or will they insist on sticking with the DIY approach?

What was the name of this paint colour?

No wonder it hadnt sold before the makeover. I wouldnt look past the walls, it gives an overall feeling of an unloved house. They couldnt be bothered to tidy up... why would you pay their asking price! I agree with dawnie ...baby was a real star.

I'm afraid the only thing going for this home is the pool. Even with the new fence, there is plenty of space for a child to run out on to the busy street. From what I was hearing the lady of the house was the one doing any attempt at renovating. Was there a health reason that the man couldn't pick up a paint brush and clean up some of those walls. Unfortunately the house has no street appeal, and the price being asked (if you compare with new project homes) is way too high. Just loved the little baby though.
