[narrator] Tonight in Southern California,
Heather, from The Flipping El Moussas,
helps a family who wants a beach home.
But in this tough market, it may not be what they envisioned.
Look, the ocean's right there. You have a view.
The pole is blocking my ocean view.
[laughing]

[upbeat music playing]
Today, I'm meeting Elizabeth and Richie,
who are making big moves to the beach.
Could you imagine being here on the water every day?
[Heather] With their son starting a new chapter in Long Beach,
and a new grandbaby,
they're looking for not just a house,
but a place to call home close to their family.
We've just been thinking a lot and we just want to be closer to her.
Huh, Eva? You want grandma and grandpa?
[all laughing]
I vote yes.
[narrator] Elizabeth, Richie and their two younger kids
currently live an hour and a half east of the coastline.
Since they aren't familiar with the beach cities,
they've reached out to Heather for help.
[Heather] As Southern California's premier and luxury real estate agent,
I have the inside scoop on exclusive homes along the coast.
-Wow! -Dang!
[Heather] Gorgeous.
It looks so good.
-[Tarek] It came out so great. -[Heather] Oh, I'm so glad.
When someone walks in, they see this view, they see the remodel.
But we cannot price too high or it's gonna scare people.
-$2,895,000? -Yeah.
-You're hired. -[laughs]
Both Richie and Elizabeth come from humble beginnings,
and they've worked very hard for everything that they have.
Purchasing a luxury beachside property
is a dream come true for their family.
And I'm here to make every step of the way
as seamless as possible for them.
[upbeat music playing]
I'm so excited to meet Heather.
-You think she's gonna have the right taste that we like? -I know she is.
I have 100% confidence in her.
-Hi. -[Elizabeth and Richie] Hi.
How are you, guys?
-[Elizabeth] Great. -[Richie] Good.
-Come on in. -How you been?
-[Elizabeth] Thank you. -Welcome to my house.
-It's beautiful. -[Heather] And welcome to Newport Beach.
We've always wanted to get closer to the water towards the beach.
We worked very hard.
We're finally gonna make that move out here.
And we knew that Heather is the go to in the beach cities.
I know she's gonna be able to deliver.
-Where are you guys currently living? -In Moreno Valley, California.
So, 909'ers.
-[Elizabeth and Richie] Yeah. -I'm a 909'er.
-Really? -[Heather] Yes.
I grew up in Running Springs up in the mountains.
-Oh, wow! -Mmm-hmm.
-[Elizabeth] That's great. -So, I'm a 909'er at heart.
And you're looking to move closer to the water.
We are, definitely.
We have a little, brand-new granddaughter.
-How old? -[Elizabeth] Three months.
-Three months. -[Elizabeth] Yes.
So, we have to go wherever she's at.
Yeah, of course you do.
So this is all new to us. We're young grandparents, so.
-We're just really-- -You're very young grandparents.
-You're the same age as my husband. -Yeah. [laughs]
-Shh! [laughs] -[Richie] Yeah.
So how many bedrooms and bathrooms are you guys looking for?
-So we definitely need three bedrooms -Mmm-hmm.
-and three baths for sure. -Okay.
Okay, so I wanna talk about what style you guys both want.
-I would like more of a modern look. -[Heather] Mmm-hmm.
-[Elizabeth] Definitely open floor plan. -[Heather] Mmm-hmm.
I like a lot of whites, a lot of beiges.
-Neutral tones. Mmm-hmm. -Neutral tones, yes.
And I like more of an upscale look.
So, modern luxury beachfront.
-Yes. -Okay. What about you, Richie?
-I'm more of like a beachy feel. -[Heather] Mmm-hmm.
-Bungalow. -[Heather] Mmm-hmm.
But are you into modern or you're not into modern?
Um, I do like it, but I like, kind of like a mixture.
-I'm more into like grayer tones. -[Heather] Okay.
-He's more old school. [laughs] -Okay.
He likes everything from the '90s.
-[laughing] -What?
-[laughing] -Oh, no, no.
-Uh-oh. -Yes.
-We're gonna have to break that, aren't we? -Not true, not true.
-[Heather laughs] -[Elizabeth] No, it is true.
It is definitely true.
And what about for the primary space?
I would like a big massive tub.
And a lot of room and a big closet.
-So, a walk-in closet? -Walk in closet. Mmm-hmm.
What are you looking to spend on the property?
Uh, $3 million.
What you're looking to spend,
-or you're looking-- -What I'm looking to spend.
[Richie] I'm closer to $2 million.
Anything over $2 million it's kind of pushing it.
-[Heather] Yeah. -I think.
-[Heather] Okay. -Yeah.
Beach living is definitely pricier.
What's the area that we wanna be in?
My main thing is that we got to be by the water.
So we have a boat and I want to be close to the marina.
-Okay. -[Richie] If we're gonna spend all this money,
-I don't wanna be two blocks, three blocks, four blocks -[Heather] Yeah.
to the water.
-I want to be able to see out my windows. -[Heather] I get it.
So do you want, uh, somewhere you can keep your boat?
Yeah, somewhere we can find a slip.
-I'm thinking more Long Beach. Be closer to our grandbaby. -[Heather] Okay.
[narrator] But Elizabeth would be happy with any beach community
within a half hour drive to family.
I'll check out Long Beach,
Huntington Beach and some areas in between.
-Sounds great. -Okay.
-Perfect. Yup.
And are you open to any condo living?
-I do want to be open to those options, for sure. -Okay.
Because I think getting closer to the ocean,
we are gonna have to go smaller.
I'm not too big on condos.
-I don't wanna be right next to my neighbors. -Mmm-hmm.
-Yes. -Are you open to making any changes?
-Like any work? -We don't want to.
What about you? No work?
-Yeah, preferably. Yeah. -Mmm-hmm.
But if it's something small, then we might compromise.
The real estate market is a tough market right now.
It's gonna be challenging to find a house on the water
for the price point that they want.
So there's gonna be some sacrifices.
But I hope that I can find them everything that they want and more.
Trust me, I have your back and be open with me.
So if there's anything you absolutely don't love,
don't be afraid to tell me. No, you hate it.
You know, I can handle it.
-Okay? -You got it.
-Overcommunicate. -Yeah, we will.
-Sure. -I know you will.
-Yeah. -[all laughing]
[upbeat music playing]
When I think of California beaches, I think of Huntington Beach.
Surf City, USA.
You have ten miles of unobstructed beach,
you have your boat dock, you can get on your boat, you can head out to the ocean.
There's restaurants. This is California beach to me.
[upbeat music playing]
[Richie] Wow.
I like that dock.
[Elizabeth] It's beautiful.
[Richie] We got a little yard.
Hey, Heather.
-Hi, guys. -[Elizabeth] How are you?
We're in a bay called Tiburon Bay
and as you can see, you can have your boat right at your house.
[Richie] Oh, my gosh. I mean, I can just come outside, babe, jump in the boat.
It's a great location.
-There is three units here. -Okay.
It's three bedroom, three bathroom, priced at $2,599,000.
But Richie, I know it is above what you're thinking.
[Richie] So the price was a little steep.
I don't like the fact that it's a condominium attached to two other units.
But I think a big plus about this house is that it has a dock.
That is a big selling point for me.
[Heather] This is kind of like a bonus room, extra area.
You have a kitchen over here. Well, a secondary kitchen.
-Not your main kitchen. [laughs] -[Elizabeth] Okay.
[Richie] I like it.
-It's his '90s style. -His '90s style.
-What's wrong with it? -[Elizabeth] No.
-[Heather] Nothing's wrong with it. -I like the gray.
[Heather] It's the '90s style. It has the gray.
I do want to show you the style of this bathroom.
-I like it. -Absolutely not.
♪ Yeah, you living That good life ♪
♪ Okay, you living That good life ♪
I do want to show you the style of this bathroom
because you see this a lot throughout the house.
-[Richie] I like it. -[Elizabeth] Absolutely not.
-[Heather] No. -[Richie] Yeah, this is my swag, man.
-[Heather] You're not feeling it. -No way.
-This... Come on, girl. -No. Total '90s. No.
Well, he only likes it
-'cause he has the boat outside. -[Heather] Yes.
It's got that little bar over there.
-I mean, that's pretty cool right there. -[Heather] Yeah.
I could see him playing his congas down here.
-That's what he loves to do. -Or watching the games.
-Yeah. -You know, we put a TV up right here.
-[Heather] Right here. -[Richie] I'll be out of your way.
-Okay, that sounds good. -You know.
It's looking better.
-So, yeah, Elizabeth, you would probably wanna, -So, Richie.
you know, remodel a little bit
-and I know you do not want that. -No.
[Heather] All right, so we're heading up now to the second level,
where all the bedrooms are.
The primary suite.
And you have a water view.
-[Elizabeth] It's perfect. I love it. -[Richie] Nice.
-[Elizabeth] This is beautiful. -[Heather] Beautiful, right?
You do not have your walk-in closet.
You have a view of your boat. Your boat is right there.
-And of the water. -And you have a patio right here.
-[Elizabeth] Wow. -[Richie] Wow, this is nice.
[Elizabeth] This is beautiful.
[Heather] How do you guys feel out here?
-[Richie] That's a big plus right here. -This is really good.
-[Heather] Good. I'm glad you like this. -[Elizabeth] I'm hopeful. Yes.
This is great.
-Now this is what I'm talking about. -[Richie] This is nice.
[Heather] It even has bubbles.
-Your private soaking tub. -[Elizabeth] Yes.
-[Richie] This is-- -And the finishes are great.
-[Heather] A double vanity. -[Richie] Oh, cool. I like it.
[Heather] This bathroom is a good size.
[Elizabeth] This is totally outdated.
It's a little dark for you.
-But it's the great size for the girls -[Elizabeth] Yeah.
and I know you didn't wanna do any updates but...
We definitely wanted it turnkey.
[Heather] So, you could do a small space lift
by painting the cabinets, replacing the shower tile and adding modern fixtures.
It is kind of like higher in our budget,
but if maybe you can negotiate lower
and we might be open to it.
[Richie] Beggars can't be choosers right here by the beach.
So some pros, some cons.
I want to show you the other two, uh, bedrooms.
So think about these for the girls, guest room.
It's a little bit tight. I would like to like more wide open.
These can come down.
So this will open up the space a lot more and make it feel a lot larger.
And we are in our third bedroom.
This view is unbelievable.
-Love it. -[Richie] Yeah, right.
All right. Let's head up to the third floor.
-[Elizabeth] This is amazing. -[Richie] This isn't bad at all.
-This is great. -[Elizabeth] Oh, my goodness. Look at the ocean.
-[Heather] So you have the ocean view here. -[Elizabeth] Wow.
You have the bay on this side.
[Elizabeth] I know this is gonna sound crazy,
but this doesn't look as bad up here with so many windows.
-[Heather] You like it. -[Elizabeth] Downstairs it looked terrible,
but right here, it doesn't look as bad.
The pros is the area.
I don't like the first floor '90s era decor.
-You got the water, though. -Yeah, it's beautiful.
Ideally, we're looking for something more,
-you know, separated, single family. -[Elizabeth] Yup.
I'm seeing, like we're gonna have to spend some money.
She's probably gonna wanna do her redesign.
-That might be an issue also. -[Heather] Yeah, okay.
♪ Just try it, like a dare ♪
♪ You should know, I don't play fair ♪
[narrator] Next up, Heather has found Richie and Elizabeth
a renovated single family home near their son in Long Beach.
[Richie] This is nice.
-[Heather] Hi, you guys. -Hi.
-Welcome to your almost maybe new home. -[Elizabeth laughs]
-[Richie] Good first impression. -[Elizabeth] Yes.
-[Richie] The patio is beautiful. -[Elizabeth] I love the color.
This home is priced at $2.3 million
and it's in a area called and Marine Stadium.
This is actually a manmade waterway.
It was built for the 1932 Summer Olympics. So that's really cool.
You can't bring a big boat out here,
but you can bring a smaller boat
and you can actually pick up the family right outside of here.
-No way. -Oh, that's great.
And the dock is down the street, so it's not too far.
So far, so good.
Proximity to the water, the curb appeal, it's my style definitely.
[Heather] Ready?
[Elizabeth] Wow. It's amazing.
-[Heather] You like it? -[Elizabeth] It's gorgeous.
Okay, I wanna point out the Dutch door
because you can open the top,
you can you let the breeze come in from the water?
I think that's a really nice feature.
-Okay, so take it in. -It's nice.
[Elizabeth] I think it's small.
[Heather] I think, with what you guys want,
-being so close to the water, -[Elizabeth] Yes.
[Heather] the square footage is just not there,
-unless you wanna spend ten million plus, right? -Yeah.
The Long Beach real estate market is a seller's market.
There's a lot more buyers than homes available.
Prices are staying very strong,
which means that finding everything they want
within their budget, is really tough.
[Elizabeth] The design is exactly how I would design it,
and then this is kind of like a makeshift island.
So you could add an island,
-if you wanna do a little bit of work. -[both] Yeah.
I know that you guys wanted the larger kitchens.
There's not a lot of storage, but I have an area
-that you could turn into a pantry, -[Elizabeth] Right.
which I'm gonna show you.
So as you see, this is extra space
that could be a pantry, or you could even use this as storage.
I think add some shelving and make it your own pantry,
you know, doing a beverage center.
[Elizabeth] Okay, that'll give us the extra storage
-that we need for sure. -Exactly.
[Richie] That's an extra perk right there.
So, I'm gonna take you to your primary.
-[all laughing] -[Richie] This is it?
Where's my restroom? [laughing]
Your restroom is across the hall
and you do not have your walk-in closet.
-Okay. -Oh, man.
-Yes. -That's a long way.
Not having a primary suite is a big problem.
There's absolutely no privacy for us.
I don't know how that would work.
Remember the view, remember the beautiful downstairs.
You are on the water.
I know we're by the beach, we gotta downsize a little bit.
You know, after you see the rest of the house,
I really want you to think about
-if this is something that you could live with. -[Elizabeth] Okay.
-[Elizabeth] This is amazing. -Gorgeous view.
-[Richie] I like this. -[Elizabeth] Wow.
[Heather] Full entertainment area.
You have, you know, your fire pit,
-Yeah. -you have the covered canopy area.
This is nice.
-I forgot about the bedroom over there. -[Elizabeth laughs]
You know, overall,
-like this is my favorite feature of the house. -[Elizabeth] For sure.
We can continue to consider it.
[Heather] This would be your bathroom.
So really, um, neutral, which you love.
[Elizabeth] The aesthetics are gorgeous. I love.
It's a different tile in the back
-I love that. -[Heather] We actually are using these tiles
in one of our flips.
[Elizabeth] Oh, wow. Beautiful.
-[Heather] So, this is beautiful. -[Richie] Nice.
Do you wanna see the final bedrooms?
-[Elizabeth] Yes. -[Heather] We have two more bedrooms.
[Richie] Yeah, this is cool. This is perfect for them.
-[Elizabeth] No complaints here. It's perfect. -[Heather] Mmm-hmm.
So this bathroom is a shared bathroom.
-There's plenty of room, -[Elizabeth] Mmm-hmm.
-[Heather] Gorgeous shower. -[Richie] Shower's nice.
So overall, very positive.
-Very positive. -Okay.
-[Elizabeth] I love that it's modern, open concept. -[Heather] Mmm-hmm.
[Elizabeth] The en suite, that's the biggest downfall for me.
[Richie] I love that it's a private home.
The water's right there. That's what I wanted.
-[Heather] More pros than cons. -[Elizabeth] Yes.
-More pros than cons. -Yeah.
-Definitely. -More pros than cons.
-Okay. -I still wanna go look at other properties
with a more modern, upscale aesthetic.
[upbeat music playing]
[narrator] Up next, Heather has found a home
she thinks Elizabeth would like.
I love the fireplace wall, but that's a problem.
[upbeat music playing]
How do you think the girls are gonna feel moving out here?
They're probably gonna miss their friends.
But once they get that beach life,
I think they're gonna get adjusted really fast.
[narrator] Elizabeth and Richie want to move near the water
and closer to their son's new family in Long Beach.
Today, Heather is meeting them at a condo
that's more Elizabeth's modern style.
Heather has something wonderful for us.
This is a condo.
This one is $2.5 million.
That's a lot of money.
Sunset Beach is a fantastic ocean city.
The price is good.
[upbeat music playing]
[Heather] Hello.
-Good to see you. -Hi, how are you? Good to see you too.
-How are you guys? -How are you doing?
It's a nice house.
-[Elizabeth] It's not '90s. -[Richie] Right.
-[laughing] -Definitely not.
But there's no direct boat access.
-The boat ramp would be about a block down. -Okay.
That's a block?
-Mmm-hmm. -Depending on what's in there,
-we'll weigh pros and cons. -Yeah.
-If you like the outside, you're gonna love the inside. -[Elizabeth] All right.
[Heather] Elizabeth and Richie have a lot of wants.
Finding something that's perfect for them, it's tough.
There's not a ton of inventory right now at the beach.
But, they'll love this location.
We're literally steps from the sand.
It's a little hidden gem.
-[Richie] It's got some glamour. -[Heather] It does.
-[Elizabeth] Wow. -[Richie] Yeah.
-[Elizabeth] Even this wall. This is my aesthetic. -[Richie] Yeah, that's nice.
[Heather] And then if you look to your left...
Elevator. Hello!
-[Elizabeth] What? -[Heather] You have an elevator in your house.
-[Richie laughs] -[Heather] Very convenient.
-[Elizabeth] Beautiful, yes. -[Heather] How fun is this?
I mean, you don't see an elevator
-in a $2.5 million house very often. -No.
-Yeah. -Yeah. True.
-[Heather] So this is really cool feature, you guys. -[Elizabeth] It is.
Welcome to your primary suite.
-[Elizabeth] This is beautiful. -[Richie] Oh, this is sweet.
-I like it. -Look at that closet.
[Heather] Is that big enough for you?
[Elizabeth] It is. Absolutely.
Do you like the rooms?
Is there anything that you're not happy with?
-One thing I could point out is this view. -[Heather] Mmm-hmm.
-[Elizabeth] That would definitely be a con. -[Richie] Oh, yeah.
Yeah, we're gonna have to have
-the blinds down right here. -[Elizabeth] Yeah.
Yeah, there's no ocean view.
The views are so important to me.
There's roofs everywhere.
There is more of a roof view than there is an ocean view.
Oh, my goodness.
-This is what I asked for. Yeah. -[Richie] Yay!
-You like it? -This is perfect.
[Heather] Your soaking tub.
[Elizabeth] Yep. And it's standalone. I love it.
This is really popular now, so.
-So, in a lot of the homes I see, -Yes.
in a lot of the flips that I'm doing,
this is a very popular design.
-Special. -[Elizabeth] This is like a spa.
-It is. -Yeah, it's perfect.
-Great. -Yeah.
-Yes. -Well, we are not done, girl.
-We have a lot more to go. -Let's go!
[upbeat music playing]
[Heather] Third bedroom also with a private bathroom.
-That's cool. -Beautiful.
-[Heather] Yeah, cool, right? -[Richie] Yeah.
I love the design.
The color, the vanity. This is perfect.
How do you feel about it being a condo?
I'm not too jazzed about that idea,
but the way this is structured,
-it doesn't seem like it'll be that much of a nuisance. -[Elizabeth] Yeah.
-We are in the Beach City, -[Elizabeth] Right.
so houses are close to each other.
-You don't have that big property. -Yeah.
You don't have a yard here.
Something to consider.
[Heather] Stairs, but there is an elevator.
-[Elizabeth] Jeez, okay. -[Heather] Okay?
-[Richie] Ay-yi-yi. -[Heather] All right.
-What do you think? -[Elizabeth] Wow.
-This is the area that you guys... -[Richie] Oh, wow.
...are gonna be in the most.
Living room, kitchen.
-I love the fireplace wall, but, that's a problem. -[Heather] Tell me.
-[Elizabeth] The view. -Okay, but come here.
Okay. Come out here.
Look, the ocean's right there. You have a view.
[laughing]
[Heather laughs] It's right there.
The pole is blocking my ocean view. [laughs]
-[Heather] Okay. -Who cares about the view? Just close the blinds, girl.
You wanna focus in here. Loot at this.
-See, Richie loves this. -Close the blinds.
I actually love this condo.
There's only one wall connecting the back.
Feels more like a single family home to me.
I really could see myself bringing my family and being proud.
Here's your dining area into your beautiful kitchen.
-[Elizabeth] Oh, my goodness. -[Richie] Oh, look at that.
Wow!
-That's a beautiful kitchen. I love that stone. -[Richie] It's beautiful.
-[Elizabeth] It's a piece of art. -[Richie] That's nice.
Do you feel like that this space is large enough for you
-to cook, to entertain, to have your family here? -[Richie] Definitely.
-[Elizabeth] I do. Yeah. -For me to cook.
-Oh, so you cook? -[Elizabeth] He's the cook. Yeah.
-Yeah. -He's Cuban. It's in his blood.
-Oh, that's great. -[Richie] Yeah.
[upbeat music playing]
-[Elizabeth] No way. -[Heather] Yes way.
[Elizabeth gasps] Wow!
-[Heather] So here's a rooftop hangout zone. -[Richie] Oh, wow.
[Heather] You have your barbecue area.
-[Elizabeth] This works. -[Heather] And...
-Definitely an ocean view. -[Elizabeth] This is gorgeous.
[Richie] I like that the barbecue's already built in.
-'Cause I like to barbecue too. -Mmm-hmm.
This would do it for me right here.
[upbeat music playing]
-[Heather] This is California living here. -[Elizabeth] Yes, it is.
What are you thinking with this price point with the house that you got?
-For a turnkey, it makes a little bit of sense. -[Heather] Yeah.
-You guys are coming from being inland. -[Richie] Yeah.
-You're coming to the beach. -Mmm-hmm.
-[Heather] This is a special place at the beach, -[Richie] Yeah.
literally steps away.
-Yeah. -So you have to take that into consideration as well.
Is there anything else that you want to see, do, before we leave the house?
-Elevator. -Let's do it.
-Let's go. -Awesome.
Heather picked this house for my wife
but the funny thing is, I kind of liked it more than she did.
But I love that it has an elevator.
-There it is. -[Richie] Oh, yeah.
-Wow. -All right. You ready?
All right. Let's go.
Okay.
[door closes]
-[Elizabeth shrieks] -[all laughing]
♪ See the lights coming down ♪
-♪ Sounding better, whoa ♪ -♪ Yeah ♪
We're excited. We're ready.
-Are you? -We are.
-We're ready to deliberate. -I know. I was gonna say,
Wait, are you ready?
-Did you make a decision without talking? -Nope, not yet.
Like, hello! I am your real estate agent.
It's a very difficult decision for sure because it's a big purchase.
And it is a huge move for us. We need to make the right decision.
Let's go through the houses
-and I wanna bring up Huntington Beach. -[Elizabeth] Yeah.
[Heather] So, this one is our boat dock.
Not too far from your son.
I feel like as we went up, it got better.
The primary suite was unbelievable.
That third story,
there was an actual ocean view there. It was beautiful.
However, it's gonna be a remodel for me.
I did like it.
It's gonna be hard to find a house that has a boat dock
-right in the back. -[Heather] Yes.
That's value in itself right there.
I love the area, though.
-[Richie] Yeah. - [Heather] Yeah, that was the most expensive house.
Unless I negotiate well.
-Yes, Negotiate well. Yes. -[Heather laughs]
[Elizabeth] We could do that.
-And then we could have it all. -[Elizabeth] Yes.
-Do it. -[Heather] And I could renovate your house.
-[Elizabeth] Let's do it. -[all laughing]
[Heather] That house in Long Beach, close to your sons,
fully remodeled.
So brand new everything.
I think it's a good price.
There's a lot of pros. The view, right on a marina.
Also that it's not a condo, it's an actual house.
- The kitchen's a little on the small side. -[Elizabeth] Yes.
[Elizabeth] I loved it. Every room, you have an ocean view.
The only downfall that I seen is
it does not have an en suite. It's a problem.
So let's move on and talk Sunset Beach.
[Elizabeth] This house makes me excited.
[Richie] It's turned key and it was just amazing the way it was laid out.
The way it was designed.
I could definitely see me like showing off that house.
It's a "wow" house.
[Elizabeth] The primary was gorgeous.
- Big, beautiful tub. -[Heather] Mmm-hmm.
-[Elizabeth] Exactly what I had been looking for. -[Heather] Mmm-hmm.
[Elizabeth] The kitchen was magnificent,
-but the worst part of all, -[Heather] Mmm-hmm.
[Elizabeth] everywhere you looked, there was roofs.
Remember the elevator.
- But how cool to have a elevator -[Elizabeth] Yes.
-in your home, for that price point. -Yes, it is.
It was neat. All of these houses are great options.

[Elizabeth] Hey.
-[Richie] Hey. -Hi, you guys.
Oh, my gosh. Beach homeowners, huh?
-Yes. -[Richie] Yeah.
-We love it, we love it. -How are you?
We chose the bungalow in Long Beach.
This view is absolutely amazing.
This was exactly what we were looking for.
Thank you. How cute is she.
Originally, the house was listed at $2.3 million
and we actually ended up paying $2.25 million
and I'm just so grateful to Heather.
I don't think we could have done this without Heather.
She's just been a great asset for us.
-[laughing] -Hi, Eva.
-Oh, she's so sweet. So this is your "why." -Thank you.
-This is my "why". There she is. -[laughing]
So since you're now beach homeowners,
-this is a beach bag with some beach towels. -[Elizabeth] Thank you. Aw.
-Thank you so much, Heather. -[Richie] Appreciate it. Thank you.
So this house definitely didn't have everything that I wanted.
I gave up my primary suite,
but at the end of the day, I gave up a little bit and I gained a lot more.
-I sit here every single morning -Mmm-hmm.
-and this... I stare out for hours. -[Heather] Ah!
-See, I love the smile. -I'm so happy. Yes.
-I just love living here. -Oh!
All of our dreams have come true.
I can go get my boat.
I can take a cruise when I want to.
[Elizabeth] All our hard work has paid off.
We're actually living our dream.
-This is our favorite, this view is everything. -I like my room.
You know, I really enjoyed working with Elizabeth and Richie.
They're really special clients to me.
I love that family is the most important thing to them.
It is just so rewarding that I found them their perfect home.
Every single night, we get to enjoy this beautiful life.
And we could not have done this without you.
-Aw! You guys. -Yeah. Thank you, Heather.
