-Okay.
-A farmhouse type home.

00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:40,500
Both my parents
grew up on a farm

00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:41,700
in Croatia and in Greece.
116
00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:43,800
So, for me, it kinda
maybe takes me back
117
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:44,900
to their roots a little bit.

there is sort of this emphasis
on indoor-outdoor features.

I work in pipeline
construction.
134

I'm open to spending
up to 800.

Okay.
141
00:04:27,834 --> 00:04:29,700
I think I'm leaning more
towards the sevens.
142
00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:30,767
So 700-800.
143

a big number in LA,

There's a lot of nature,
and it's very peaceful.
175
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,300
-Right?
-[Thanasi] Awesome.
176
00:05:29,300 --> 00:05:30,867
[Veronica] Okay,
so it is three bedroom,
177
00:05:30,867 --> 00:05:31,767
it's one bath.
178
00:05:31,767 --> 00:05:32,900
[Courtney] That is
a huge concern.
179
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:34,066
-[Thanasi] Yeah.
-[Veronica] However,
180
00:05:34,066 --> 00:05:36,767
there's room
for adding a bathroom.
181
00:05:36,767 --> 00:05:38,266
Then I guess
we'll have to see.
182
00:05:38,266 --> 00:05:39,767
-I don't know where...
-[Thanasi] We're off road.
183
00:05:39,767 --> 00:05:41,166
[Veronica] Wait,
where are we going?
184
00:05:41,166 --> 00:05:42,200
Where do I do a U-turn?
185
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,767
[Courtney] Okay,
I'm a little nervous.
186
00:05:43,767 --> 00:05:46,100
You weren't kidding
about the wilderness.
187
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:46,934
Here we are.
188
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,100
I don't know
who's gonna love it more.
189
00:05:52,100 --> 00:05:53,667
It has all of the charm
190
00:05:53,667 --> 00:05:55,667
that Courtney
is going to like.
191
00:05:55,667 --> 00:05:58,000
But the whole property
reminds me
192
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,500
of a Mediterranean village,
193
00:05:59,500 --> 00:06:01,367
and I feel like
that's really gonna pull
194
00:06:01,367 --> 00:06:02,767
at Thanasi's heartstrings.
195
00:06:02,767 --> 00:06:04,300
I love the stone.
196
00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:05,467
It's got a lot of character.
197
00:06:05,467 --> 00:06:08,567
I love the combo
of the rebel stone
198
00:06:08,567 --> 00:06:09,767
-and the brick.
-[Veronica] And the brick.
199
00:06:09,767 --> 00:06:10,667
[Veronica] Yep.
200
00:06:10,667 --> 00:06:12,200
So this is cottage Craftsman.
201
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,400
The price is really great.
202
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,667
It's 745.
203
00:06:14,667 --> 00:06:15,767
[Thanasi] Seven forty-five
is more
204
00:06:15,767 --> 00:06:17,100
than what
I was hoping to spend.
205
00:06:17,100 --> 00:06:19,767
But I will say, the fact
that we're in nature here,
206
00:06:19,767 --> 00:06:20,700
is amazing.
207
00:06:20,700 --> 00:06:22,567
And I already picked up
the key as well.
208
00:06:22,567 --> 00:06:23,667
That is a high lock.
209
00:06:23,667 --> 00:06:24,967
Am I gonna be able
to reach that?
210
00:06:24,967 --> 00:06:26,467
-[chuckles] Right.
-Oh, wow.
211
00:06:26,467 --> 00:06:27,800
[Thanasi] I notice stairs.
212
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,500
-Courtney likes her stairs.
-Yeah.
213
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:30,667
I do love the stairs.
214
00:06:30,667 --> 00:06:32,967
[Veronica] Down here,
we have two of the bedrooms
215
00:06:32,967 --> 00:06:35,567
and upstairs is the main
living space and bathroom.
216
00:06:35,567 --> 00:06:36,467
-[Courtney] Okay.
-[Thanasi] Okay.
217
00:06:36,467 --> 00:06:38,567
Um, there is no primary suite.
218
00:06:38,567 --> 00:06:40,734
However, this is
the largest bedroom.
219
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,066
-Courtney, your face. [laughs]
-It's a little small.
220
00:06:44,867 --> 00:06:47,100
And is this
the only closet space?
221
00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:49,000
This is house hunting
in Los Angeles.
222
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,800
-[both laughing]
-It's really hard.
223
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,567
You can actually do
a built-in wardrobe here.
224
00:06:53,567 --> 00:06:54,667
And so, trust me,
225
00:06:54,667 --> 00:06:56,867
I would be able
to get in closet space.
226
00:06:56,867 --> 00:06:58,266
'Cause that is a must for me.
227
00:06:58,266 --> 00:06:59,166
-[Veronica] Yes.
-[both chuckle]
228
00:06:59,166 --> 00:07:00,934
-Okay, so next bedroom.
-Okay.
229
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,400
[Veronica] I mean,
how adorable already?
230
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,333
[Courtney] This is cute.
231
00:07:06,333 --> 00:07:07,900
[Veronica] Is it giving you
kid vibes, right?
232
00:07:07,900 --> 00:07:09,266
-[Courtney] Definitely.
-[all laughing]
233
00:07:09,266 --> 00:07:11,367
Okay, so upstairs.
234
00:07:11,367 --> 00:07:13,500
-Get those steps in,
Courtney.
-Let's go.
235
00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:16,100
-This is the family room.
-[Courtney] Cute.
236
00:07:16,100 --> 00:07:17,867
[Veronica] I love it.
I think it's really cute.
237
00:07:17,867 --> 00:07:19,100
This is so charming.
238
00:07:19,100 --> 00:07:20,467
[Thanasi] It's bringing
the outside in.
239
00:07:20,467 --> 00:07:22,166
And then this bedroom
right here.
240
00:07:22,166 --> 00:07:24,000
They have this staged
as an office.
241
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,266
[Courtney] I mean, I'm short,
242
00:07:25,266 --> 00:07:26,967
so the ceilings
don't bother me.
243
00:07:26,967 --> 00:07:28,300
I have some tall cousins.
244
00:07:28,300 --> 00:07:29,400
[Veronica] You have
some tall cousins?
245
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:30,667
-[Thanasi] Yeah.
-[Veronica] Okay.
246
00:07:30,667 --> 00:07:32,266
So the bathroom,
don't be alarmed.
247
00:07:32,266 --> 00:07:34,934
-[Courtney] Oh, my gosh.
-[laughing]
248
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,567
Don't be alarmed.
249
00:07:38,567 --> 00:07:40,667
The bathroom
is a little bit smaller.
250
00:07:40,667 --> 00:07:43,367
-[Courtney] Oh, my gosh.
-[Veronica chuckles]
251
00:07:43,367 --> 00:07:45,967
[Veronica] I did warn you
there is one bathroom.
252
00:07:45,967 --> 00:07:48,400
Definitely a lot smaller
than we I thought it would be.
253
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:49,834
[Courtney]
This is teeny, tiny.
254
00:07:49,834 --> 00:07:52,100
Like the sink.
This is not gonna work.
255
00:07:52,100 --> 00:07:54,033
It would probably fit
one of your makeup brushes.
256
00:07:54,033 --> 00:07:55,600
One of my makeup brushes.
257
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,667
[Veronica] In small spaces
like this,
258
00:07:57,667 --> 00:08:00,834
I've done built-in storage
inside framing
259
00:08:00,834 --> 00:08:02,500
and that would give you
plenty of storage
260
00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:04,000
for all of your
makeup products.
261
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,166
Okay.
262
00:08:05,166 --> 00:08:06,567
-[Veronica] Kitchen, next?
-[Courtney] Yes.
263
00:08:06,567 --> 00:08:07,533
[Veronica] It's right here.
264
00:08:07,533 --> 00:08:08,767
-It's off of the family room.
-[Courtney] Cute!
265
00:08:08,767 --> 00:08:11,467
I like how it feels
a little open.
266
00:08:11,467 --> 00:08:13,033
Move-in ready.
267
00:08:13,033 --> 00:08:16,000
Imagine countertop
going all the way across.
268
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,500
-[Courtney] Yes.
-Maximizing your storage
269
00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:19,834
would probably only cost
about eight grand
270
00:08:19,834 --> 00:08:21,367
to add even more storage.
271
00:08:21,367 --> 00:08:23,767
This, you know,
was built in the 1930s.
272
00:08:23,767 --> 00:08:25,667
But this kitchen
has been updated
273
00:08:25,667 --> 00:08:28,500
and there is newer appliances
and plumbing fixtures.
274
00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:30,367
That concerns me a bit
just 'cause I know
275
00:08:30,367 --> 00:08:31,834
plumbing and electrical,
276
00:08:31,834 --> 00:08:33,200
when it was done
way back then,
277
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,934
it's definitely not up to code
278
00:08:34,934 --> 00:08:36,367
as far as today's
standards go.
279
00:08:36,367 --> 00:08:37,400
Yep.
280
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,667
But take a look around
and see if we find any issues.
281
00:08:39,667 --> 00:08:41,667
Yeah. Well, do you wanna
get to work over there?
282
00:08:41,667 --> 00:08:43,000
-[Thanasi] Yeah.
-[all laughing]
283
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,100
Real quick.
284
00:08:44,100 --> 00:08:45,233
[Veronica] How's it looking?
285
00:08:45,233 --> 00:08:46,667
[Thanasi] Definitely some sort
of updates going on in here.
286
00:08:46,667 --> 00:08:49,100
Newer garbage disposal,
for sure.
287
00:08:50,300 --> 00:08:51,767
[Veronica] There is a lot
of outdoor space.
288
00:08:51,767 --> 00:08:53,166
We are just in the middle
289
00:08:53,166 --> 00:08:54,567
-of nature out here.
-Cute.
290
00:08:54,567 --> 00:08:56,467
-Whoo! More stairs!
-[Veronica] More steps.
291
00:08:56,467 --> 00:08:58,567
[Thanasi] Oh, great.
More stairs.
292
00:08:58,567 --> 00:09:00,500
There is some space
to entertain,
293
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:03,200
but as far as trying
to play some sports
294
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,934
or kick a ball around or...
295
00:09:04,934 --> 00:09:06,767
Definitely no bocce
going on here.
296
00:09:06,767 --> 00:09:08,767
[Veronica] We have
another patio,
297
00:09:08,767 --> 00:09:11,000
which I thought
would be a perfect area
298
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,467
to add another bathroom
off of the office, tub,
299
00:09:14,467 --> 00:09:16,166
shower, double vanity,
300
00:09:16,166 --> 00:09:17,400
plenty of storage.
301
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,100
Adding a bathroom here
302
00:09:19,100 --> 00:09:22,867
would probably run you
anywhere from 45 to 60.
303
00:09:22,867 --> 00:09:25,400
Okay, so that's still
within my price range.
304
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,867
Yeah.
305
00:09:26,867 --> 00:09:28,767
I feel like you really
hit the nail on the head
306
00:09:28,767 --> 00:09:30,367
-as far as my style.
-Great.
307
00:09:30,367 --> 00:09:32,066
I just feel like
the bathroom's not really
308
00:09:32,066 --> 00:09:33,166
-doing it okay for me.
-Bathroom? Okay.
309
00:09:33,166 --> 00:09:34,333
The singular bathroom.
310
00:09:34,333 --> 00:09:37,066
And I'd also really like to be
a little bit closer to family.
311
00:09:37,066 --> 00:09:38,033
-Little closer? Okay.
-Yeah.
312
00:09:39,967 --> 00:09:43,667
♪ Do it
I gotta do it my way ♪
313
00:09:43,667 --> 00:09:45,667
[narrator] So Veronica's
taking them to Chatsworth,
314
00:09:45,667 --> 00:09:47,266
a San Fernando Valley
neighborhood
315
00:09:47,266 --> 00:09:49,166
where Thanasi's mom lives.
316
00:09:49,166 --> 00:09:51,166
Thanasi, it's not
in your mom's backyard,
317
00:09:51,166 --> 00:09:52,166
but it's pretty close.
318
00:09:52,166 --> 00:09:53,400
-Yeah.
-[all laughing]
319
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,834
-It is 750.
-Seven-fifty is perfect.
320
00:09:55,834 --> 00:09:58,033
-If it's got good bones.
-[Veronica] Yes.
321
00:10:01,166 --> 00:10:02,967
-Wow.
-How cute is this?
322
00:10:02,967 --> 00:10:04,467
[Courtney] It has
so much character.
323
00:10:04,467 --> 00:10:05,367
I think it's charming.
324
00:10:05,367 --> 00:10:07,266
I don't love that it's not
a two-story house.
325
00:10:07,266 --> 00:10:09,934
My favorite thing
is probably the views.
326
00:10:09,934 --> 00:10:12,967
The mountains are insane.
There's hiking, there's parks.
327
00:10:12,967 --> 00:10:14,767
[Thanasi] The hiking is
definitely a big plus for us.
328
00:10:14,767 --> 00:10:16,567
[Courtney] Yeah, these stairs
won't be enough stairs
329
00:10:16,567 --> 00:10:17,767
-for me to get my cardio.
-[all chuckling]
330
00:10:17,767 --> 00:10:18,700
[Veronica] But there's hiking
331
00:10:18,700 --> 00:10:20,567
and I already picked up
the key from the agent.
332
00:10:20,567 --> 00:10:22,567
-[Thanasi] Awesome.
-[Courtney] Wow.
333
00:10:22,567 --> 00:10:24,266
[Thanasi] Oh, wow. Yeah.
334
00:10:24,266 --> 00:10:25,667
-There's so much
natural light.
-Right?
335
00:10:25,667 --> 00:10:27,767
[Courtney] But it looks
a little bit tiny for us,
336
00:10:27,767 --> 00:10:28,767
for our big family.
337
00:10:28,767 --> 00:10:30,767
Empty rooms
feel a lot smaller.
338
00:10:30,767 --> 00:10:32,367
Once there's
furniture in here,
339
00:10:32,367 --> 00:10:34,166
it really just like
warms it up.
340
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:39,066
So what do you think
about this, the size?
341
00:10:39,066 --> 00:10:41,166
Feels very tiny
and very closed off
342
00:10:41,166 --> 00:10:42,567
-from the rest of the house.
-[Veronica] Yes.
343
00:10:42,567 --> 00:10:43,567
[Thanasi] A little bit
outdated,
344
00:10:43,567 --> 00:10:44,867
something that
I can take care of
345
00:10:44,867 --> 00:10:45,734
down the road, for sure.
346
00:10:45,734 --> 00:10:47,934
This kitchen
is totally functional.
347
00:10:47,934 --> 00:10:48,934
But aesthetically,
348
00:10:48,934 --> 00:10:51,066
it's really giving me
grandma vibes.
349
00:10:51,066 --> 00:10:52,934
Imagine opening this up.
350
00:10:52,934 --> 00:10:53,834
-[Thanasi] Right.
-[Courtney] Yeah.
351
00:10:53,834 --> 00:10:54,934
[Veronica] You could do
an island,
352
00:10:54,934 --> 00:10:56,767
and to bring the Zen
for Courtney,
353
00:10:56,767 --> 00:10:58,867
you could use
peaceful colors throughout
354
00:10:58,867 --> 00:11:00,200
and white oak cabinets,
355
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,266
or even some green ones
to bring the outside in.
356
00:11:03,266 --> 00:11:04,834
This is why we're excited
to have you here.
357
00:11:04,834 --> 00:11:05,567
[chuckling]
358
00:11:05,567 --> 00:11:06,667
-Yes.
-To give us all these ideas.
359
00:11:06,667 --> 00:11:08,367
-Totally.
-How much would something
360
00:11:08,367 --> 00:11:10,000
like this renovation cost?
361
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,667
Probably going to cost you
$50,000 to $70,000.
362
00:11:13,667 --> 00:11:14,767
-Oh.
-[Veronica] Yeah.
363
00:11:14,767 --> 00:11:16,266
[Courtney] I'm getting
kind of freaked out
364
00:11:16,266 --> 00:11:17,567
with the price of everything.
365
00:11:17,567 --> 00:11:19,667
Okay, so let's not
get too freaked out
366
00:11:19,667 --> 00:11:23,300
and let's move on
with an amazing backyard.
367
00:11:23,300 --> 00:11:25,400
-Oh, my gosh.
-What do you think?
368
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:26,734
-[Thanasi] Wow.
-[Courtney] It's huge.
369
00:11:26,734 --> 00:11:28,000
[Veronica] There's citrus
trees out here.
370
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,367
There's pomegranate.
371
00:11:29,367 --> 00:11:31,667
-Imagine raised garden beds.
-[Thanasi] Yeah.
372
00:11:31,667 --> 00:11:32,600
These rosebushes,
373
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,266
imagine these taken out
and a bocce ball court.
374
00:11:35,266 --> 00:11:36,667
I can already envision it.
375
00:11:36,667 --> 00:11:38,033
[Courtney] That sounds so Zen
376
00:11:38,033 --> 00:11:39,500
-and so beautiful.
-[Veronica] Right? Yes.
377
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:41,000
There's a lot
of potential out here.
378
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,066
-Yeah, definitely.
-Right?
379
00:11:42,066 --> 00:11:42,867
Super exciting.
380
00:11:43,934 --> 00:11:46,767
Over here, this is
the first guest room
381
00:11:46,767 --> 00:11:49,600
or future baby's
nursery, maybe.
382
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,266
I love how deep
this closet is.
383
00:11:52,266 --> 00:11:53,367
[Thanasi] I feel like
maybe once we get
384
00:11:53,367 --> 00:11:54,867
a crib and stuff in here,
385
00:11:54,867 --> 00:11:56,033
it might get a little cramped.
386
00:11:56,033 --> 00:11:57,100
-[Veronica] Okay.
-Yeah.
387
00:11:57,100 --> 00:11:58,467
[Veronica] I'm gonna show you
the bathroom now, okay?
388
00:11:58,467 --> 00:11:59,567
-[Courtney] Okay.
-[Thanasi] All right.
389
00:12:00,567 --> 00:12:01,834
[Courtney] It's tiny.
390
00:12:01,834 --> 00:12:03,467
There's lacking storage.
391
00:12:03,467 --> 00:12:05,600
Everything is in
working condition.
392
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,667
And honestly, just paint
and a light fixture
393
00:12:07,667 --> 00:12:08,867
would go a long way.
394
00:12:08,867 --> 00:12:10,834
-[Courtney] Yeah.
-Yeah. Next bedroom.
395
00:12:11,467 --> 00:12:12,467
[Courtney] Wow.
396
00:12:12,467 --> 00:12:14,033
[Thanasi] It's much bigger
than the first bedroom,
397
00:12:14,033 --> 00:12:14,867
-for sure.
-[Courtney] Yeah.
398
00:12:14,867 --> 00:12:16,567
[Veronica]
So the primary suite.
399
00:12:16,567 --> 00:12:20,033
[Courtney] I'm not loving
how small this closet is.
400
00:12:20,033 --> 00:12:22,667
Very quick fix, $2,500.
401
00:12:22,667 --> 00:12:26,200
I've taken these off and done
a gorgeous, built-in wardrobe.
402
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,467
And so, you actually
have drawers below
403
00:12:28,467 --> 00:12:30,667
and hanging above,
and it looks original.
404
00:12:30,667 --> 00:12:32,266
-Okay.
-That'll be your closet.
405
00:12:32,266 --> 00:12:33,767
[all laughing]
406
00:12:33,767 --> 00:12:34,667
[Veronica] And the bathroom.
407
00:12:34,667 --> 00:12:35,800
[Courtney] Not very thrilled.
408
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,100
Yeah, definitely a lot smaller
than what we're looking for.
409
00:12:39,100 --> 00:12:40,000
[Courtney] Teeny tiny.
410
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,367
[Veronica] This bedroom
is pretty big.
411
00:12:41,367 --> 00:12:42,567
You could eventually make
412
00:12:42,567 --> 00:12:44,166
a bigger bathroom
with the space.
413
00:12:44,166 --> 00:12:45,367
[Courtney] That's true.
414
00:12:45,367 --> 00:12:47,600
These bathrooms
from the 1950s,
415
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,467
they just don't have
the storage that I need.
416
00:12:49,467 --> 00:12:50,567
What do you guys think?
417
00:12:50,567 --> 00:12:53,200
I love the home,
418
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,567
but I do feel
419
00:12:54,567 --> 00:12:56,667
like it's a little
closed off for me.
420
00:12:56,667 --> 00:12:58,467
The kitchen also
needs a lot of work.
421
00:12:58,467 --> 00:12:59,567
[Thanasi] I'm okay with that.
422
00:12:59,567 --> 00:13:00,934
I like putting
my own stamp on things
423
00:13:00,934 --> 00:13:01,767
-so...
-[Veronica] Yeah.
424
00:13:01,767 --> 00:13:02,734
[Courtney] I would love
to find a kitchen
425
00:13:02,734 --> 00:13:04,934
that's a little bit
more move-in ready.
426
00:13:04,934 --> 00:13:06,266
And another thing is,
427
00:13:06,266 --> 00:13:08,500
I would love for the bathrooms
to be bigger.
428
00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:10,166
I'm gonna have to make
some phone calls
429
00:13:10,166 --> 00:13:12,367
because Los Angeles is tough.
430
00:13:12,367 --> 00:13:13,533
Probably gonna
have to find something
431
00:13:13,533 --> 00:13:15,867
that is a little bit higher
than what they want to spend.
432
00:13:15,867 --> 00:13:19,567
♪ Chasing, chasing
We do it for the fun ♪
433
00:13:19,567 --> 00:13:21,000
[narrator] So Veronica
lines up a home
434
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,367
she thinks Courtney will like.
435
00:13:22,367 --> 00:13:24,567
[Courtney] I'm hoping
that this is going to be
436
00:13:24,567 --> 00:13:25,834
just picture-perfect.
437
00:13:25,834 --> 00:13:26,867
Ooh.
438
00:13:26,867 --> 00:13:28,100
-[Veronica chuckles]
-[Thanasi] Wow.
439
00:13:29,266 --> 00:13:32,100
♪ I'm feeling like
it's gonna be one more time ♪
440
00:13:33,266 --> 00:13:34,467
[narrator] To show
Courtney and Thanasi
441
00:13:34,467 --> 00:13:36,367
a home that's more
move-in ready,
442
00:13:36,367 --> 00:13:37,667
Veronica is meeting them
at a place
443
00:13:37,667 --> 00:13:40,367
in the Reseda neighborhood
of the San Fernando Valley.
444
00:13:40,367 --> 00:13:41,567
[Thanasi] All right,
I think this was it.
445
00:13:41,567 --> 00:13:42,767
She said the corner house,
right?
446
00:13:42,767 --> 00:13:44,867
[Courtney] Yeah, I like
this big tree in the front.
447
00:13:44,867 --> 00:13:45,934
-[Veronica] Hi!
-[Courtney] Hi!
448
00:13:45,934 --> 00:13:47,066
Good to see you again.
449
00:13:47,066 --> 00:13:48,634
-Hello, nice to see you.
-Yeah, definitely.
450
00:13:48,634 --> 00:13:50,266
-How cute is this house?
-It's cute.
451
00:13:50,266 --> 00:13:51,100
-Isn't it cute?
-I like it.
452
00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:52,734
I'm showing them
the house today
453
00:13:52,734 --> 00:13:55,467
because it has a lot
of closets for Courtney.
454
00:13:55,467 --> 00:13:56,667
It's move-in ready.
455
00:13:56,667 --> 00:13:59,100
And I feel like
it's Thanasi's style.
456
00:13:59,100 --> 00:14:01,367
It kinda reminds me
of a Mediterranean farm.
457
00:14:01,367 --> 00:14:03,166
[Thanasi] Yeah, in Santorini
in Greece, for sure.
458
00:14:03,166 --> 00:14:04,066
-Totally.
-Yeah.
459
00:14:04,066 --> 00:14:05,166
[Courtney] It's a little
plain for me.
460
00:14:05,166 --> 00:14:08,166
Honestly, shutters, awnings
and gorgeous light fixtures.
461
00:14:08,166 --> 00:14:09,667
I promise you that will bring
462
00:14:09,667 --> 00:14:11,767
all of the character
that you're gonna want.
463
00:14:11,767 --> 00:14:14,266
The asking price is 795,
464
00:14:14,266 --> 00:14:15,567
-so it's at the top.
-For her.
465
00:14:15,567 --> 00:14:16,634
-[all chuckling]
-Yeah.
466
00:14:16,634 --> 00:14:18,634
-It's still within my budget.
-Yep.
467
00:14:18,634 --> 00:14:19,767
So I'm hoping
that this is going to be
468
00:14:19,767 --> 00:14:21,000
just picture-perfect.
469
00:14:24,867 --> 00:14:26,533
Ooh!
470
00:14:26,533 --> 00:14:28,266
-[Veronica] Right?
-[Thanasi] Yeah, wow.
471
00:14:28,266 --> 00:14:30,533
A lot of natural light.
The windows are nice and big.
472
00:14:30,533 --> 00:14:32,433
Obviously, recently updated,
473
00:14:32,433 --> 00:14:33,834
and it's pretty much
move-in ready.
474
00:14:33,834 --> 00:14:36,567
-[Courtney] That's great.
-I feel like almost too ready.
475
00:14:36,567 --> 00:14:38,166
I wanna be able to put
my own stamp on things.
476
00:14:38,166 --> 00:14:39,634
-Put your stamp on it?
-Yeah.
477
00:14:40,767 --> 00:14:42,367
So over here are two bedrooms
478
00:14:42,367 --> 00:14:44,734
for future kids' rooms
or office.
479
00:14:44,734 --> 00:14:46,333
Ah!
480
00:14:48,166 --> 00:14:50,867
We have a fully updated
bathroom right here.
481
00:14:50,867 --> 00:14:53,967
[Courtney] Okay,
this isn't terrible.
482
00:14:53,967 --> 00:14:55,834
It's definitely been
updated down here, too.
483
00:14:57,233 --> 00:14:59,767
And then, right over here
is the dining room
484
00:14:59,767 --> 00:15:00,867
centered in between
485
00:15:00,867 --> 00:15:02,467
the kitchen
and the family room.
486
00:15:02,467 --> 00:15:03,667
[Courtney] Wow,
this is beautiful.
487
00:15:03,667 --> 00:15:06,233
Even though
this isn't technically
488
00:15:06,233 --> 00:15:08,166
-an open concept...
-Yeah.
489
00:15:08,166 --> 00:15:11,867
...I do love how the space
is flowing into each room.
490
00:15:11,867 --> 00:15:13,967
You don't have to have
a big, open concept home
491
00:15:13,967 --> 00:15:16,667
to really, you know,
feel like a warm hug.
492
00:15:16,667 --> 00:15:17,700
Yeah.
493
00:15:17,700 --> 00:15:19,934
[Veronice] And over here
is our updated galley kitchen.
494
00:15:19,934 --> 00:15:21,100
Wow.
495
00:15:21,100 --> 00:15:22,367
[Courtney]
This is really nice.
496
00:15:22,367 --> 00:15:24,100
[Veronica] Isn't it nice?
Plenty of storage.
497
00:15:24,100 --> 00:15:25,667
[Thanasi] I wish they would
have knocked the plaster out
498
00:15:25,667 --> 00:15:26,734
and hidden the electrical.
499
00:15:26,734 --> 00:15:27,867
For the asking price,
500
00:15:27,867 --> 00:15:29,734
they should have tidied
things up little bit more.
501
00:15:29,734 --> 00:15:30,567
Okay.
502
00:15:30,567 --> 00:15:33,133
Thanasi notices
all of the little details,
503
00:15:33,133 --> 00:15:35,467
and so, right now,
he's fixated on little things,
504
00:15:35,467 --> 00:15:38,333
and I'm trying to pull him out
and think big picture here.
505
00:15:38,333 --> 00:15:39,200
This is their first home.
506
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,467
It will probably not be
their forever home.
507
00:15:41,467 --> 00:15:43,667
And I think
that this is a great space
508
00:15:43,667 --> 00:15:44,533
to grow their family.
509
00:15:44,533 --> 00:15:47,166
And then, over here
is the primary suite.
510
00:15:47,166 --> 00:15:48,867
Wow.
511
00:15:48,867 --> 00:15:50,667
[Veronica] Big wow
for a big room.
512
00:15:50,667 --> 00:15:51,767
-[chuckles]
-[Thanasi] Very big, yeah.
513
00:15:51,767 --> 00:15:54,033
[Veronica] This is a very
large primary suite.
514
00:15:54,033 --> 00:15:56,266
It's a little stale,
a little bit plain in here.
515
00:15:56,266 --> 00:15:58,767
Totally. Paint.
Like paint goes a long way.
516
00:15:58,767 --> 00:16:00,767
-[Thanasi] Yeah.
-Gorgeous window treatments.
517
00:16:00,767 --> 00:16:02,533
Plenty of opportunities
in here.
518
00:16:02,533 --> 00:16:04,266
[Courtney] Oh, my gosh.
519
00:16:04,266 --> 00:16:06,667
My little walk-in closet.
520
00:16:06,667 --> 00:16:07,634
[all laughing]
521
00:16:07,634 --> 00:16:09,033
And then the primary bathroom.
522
00:16:09,033 --> 00:16:11,033
Also newly updated.
523
00:16:11,033 --> 00:16:13,533
Okay, this is nice.
524
00:16:13,533 --> 00:16:16,066
I wish that there was
a double vanity.
525
00:16:16,066 --> 00:16:18,467
You could eventually
steal from your closet
526
00:16:18,467 --> 00:16:19,667
and make a larger bathroom.
527
00:16:19,667 --> 00:16:20,433
[Courtney] I don't know.
528
00:16:20,433 --> 00:16:21,934
I can't really steal
from my closet.
529
00:16:21,934 --> 00:16:22,834
-[Veronica] Right?
-[laughing]
530
00:16:22,834 --> 00:16:24,467
[Courtney] That's asking
for too much.
531
00:16:24,467 --> 00:16:25,433
What's behind this door?
532
00:16:25,433 --> 00:16:27,634
This is actually access
to the backyard.
533
00:16:29,100 --> 00:16:30,533
[Thanasi] This is a little
disappointing for me,
534
00:16:30,533 --> 00:16:31,266
I'm not gonna lie.
535
00:16:31,266 --> 00:16:32,867
[Courtney] I'm not as thrilled
536
00:16:32,867 --> 00:16:34,967
-as I was expecting to be.
-[laughing]
537
00:16:34,967 --> 00:16:36,166
-Yeah.
-Totally.
538
00:16:36,166 --> 00:16:39,166
Imagine grass
and bistro lights
539
00:16:39,166 --> 00:16:41,467
built-in seating wrapping
around these trees
540
00:16:41,467 --> 00:16:44,467
going all the way across,
a bocce ball court.
541
00:16:44,467 --> 00:16:46,867
I feel like
there is potential here.
542
00:16:46,867 --> 00:16:48,066
[Thanasi] I'm glad
you're here for the vision.
543
00:16:48,066 --> 00:16:49,767
-'Cause I can't see it.
-[all laughing]
544
00:16:49,767 --> 00:16:50,567
Totally.
545
00:16:50,567 --> 00:16:51,634
I'm glad you're giving me
these ideas.
546
00:16:51,634 --> 00:16:54,100
But bonus, though,
it's an additional
547
00:16:54,934 --> 00:16:58,033
little family hangout,
a little office.
548
00:16:58,033 --> 00:16:59,467
[Courtney] You know
who would love this?
549
00:16:59,467 --> 00:17:00,767
-[Veronica] Who would love it?
-Your mom.
550
00:17:00,767 --> 00:17:02,934
-So she could be close to us.
-[Thanasi] Definitely.
551
00:17:02,934 --> 00:17:04,667
[Courtney] Definitely
move-in ready.
552
00:17:04,667 --> 00:17:05,867
-[Veronica] Yes.
-[Courtney] But it lacks
553
00:17:05,867 --> 00:17:07,166
a little bit
of character for me.
554
00:17:07,166 --> 00:17:08,767
[Thanasi] I love the look
of the house from the outside.
555
00:17:08,767 --> 00:17:11,066
Totally my style.
But at $800,000,
556
00:17:11,066 --> 00:17:13,467
I just feel like
we're overextending ourselves.
557
00:17:13,467 --> 00:17:15,767
There's a lot of options
and this is your first home.
558
00:17:15,767 --> 00:17:18,667
It's the first time you guys
are moving in together.
559
00:17:18,667 --> 00:17:19,433
[Thanasi] Yeah.
560
00:17:19,433 --> 00:17:20,867
While also planning a wedding.
561
00:17:20,867 --> 00:17:22,667
I'm throwing a lot
at you guys.
562
00:17:22,667 --> 00:17:25,166
You've definitely put us in
a bit of a predicament here.
563
00:17:25,166 --> 00:17:26,333
Definitely.
564
00:17:28,967 --> 00:17:30,767
♪ Oh, I've gotta know love ♪
565
00:17:30,767 --> 00:17:32,266
[narrator] Courtney
and Thanasi's wedding
566
00:17:32,266 --> 00:17:34,433
is just a few weeks away,
567
00:17:34,433 --> 00:17:37,567
so they need to figure out
which place they'll call home.
568
00:17:37,567 --> 00:17:39,567
Hi! How are you?
569
00:17:39,567 --> 00:17:41,100
I'm good, how are you?
570
00:17:41,100 --> 00:17:43,767
-Good. Thank you so much
for coming over.
-Hi, how are you?
571
00:17:43,767 --> 00:17:46,333
This is a little treat
from my family to yours.
572
00:17:46,333 --> 00:17:48,734
It's pan dulce bread,
sweet bread,
573
00:17:48,734 --> 00:17:50,567
and horchata
and watermelon juice.
574
00:17:50,567 --> 00:17:52,634
I grew up...
Like I'm obsessed with this,
575
00:17:52,634 --> 00:17:54,367
and it just reminds me
of family, so...
576
00:17:54,367 --> 00:17:55,333
-[Thanasi] Awesome.
-Delicious.
577
00:17:55,333 --> 00:17:56,567
[Veronica] It's always better
to make a decision
578
00:17:56,567 --> 00:17:57,233
on a full stomach.
579
00:17:57,233 --> 00:17:58,367
-[Thanasi] Agreed.
-[chuckling]
580
00:17:58,367 --> 00:17:59,567
[Veronica] Okay, so Thanasi,
581
00:17:59,567 --> 00:18:01,667
I know that pricing
was a big deal.
582
00:18:01,667 --> 00:18:03,166
-[Thanasi] Right.
-And the cottage
583
00:18:03,166 --> 00:18:05,200
was listed at 745.
584
00:18:06,433 --> 00:18:07,467
[Thanasi] I do like the price.
585
00:18:07,467 --> 00:18:08,467
[Veronica] A lot of character.
586
00:18:08,467 --> 00:18:10,266
[Courtney] Absolutely
loved it from the get-go.
587
00:18:10,266 --> 00:18:12,634
The outside,
I love the natural elements.
588
00:18:12,634 --> 00:18:15,166
The kitchen
has so much character.
589
00:18:15,166 --> 00:18:17,000
But it's far.
590
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,166
It's far from family.
591
00:18:18,166 --> 00:18:19,767
-It's a little bit small.
-[Veronica] Yes.
592
00:18:19,767 --> 00:18:21,867
-The one bathroom.
-[Veronica chuckles] Yeah.
593
00:18:21,867 --> 00:18:23,066
[Courtney] Not enough for us.
594
00:18:23,066 --> 00:18:25,433
I do feel like the ranch
was a great blend
595
00:18:25,433 --> 00:18:26,934
of both of your styles.
596
00:18:27,967 --> 00:18:29,467
[Courtney] I love
the red brick.
597
00:18:29,467 --> 00:18:32,033
I feel like the home has a lot
of character in the front.
598
00:18:32,033 --> 00:18:33,634
[Thanasi] I'm loving all
the room in the backyard.
599
00:18:33,634 --> 00:18:35,667
It was definitely
the closest of all the houses
600
00:18:35,667 --> 00:18:37,433
that you showed us
to our families.
601
00:18:37,433 --> 00:18:40,000
Bathrooms, minimal renovation.
602
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,333
[Courtney] They are
a little bit tiny.
603
00:18:41,333 --> 00:18:43,767
And the kitchen,
it needs renovation.
604
00:18:43,767 --> 00:18:44,867
-For sure.
-[Courtney] Yep.
605
00:18:44,867 --> 00:18:46,367
With us getting married,
606
00:18:46,367 --> 00:18:48,367
that just sounds like too much
at one time,
607
00:18:48,367 --> 00:18:49,266
I see it as the opposite.
608
00:18:49,266 --> 00:18:50,667
I see it as
an opportunity for us
609
00:18:50,667 --> 00:18:52,066
to make some really
good memories.
610
00:18:52,066 --> 00:18:53,834
-Memories for sure.
-[chuckling]
611
00:18:53,834 --> 00:18:55,634
The Spanish bungalow.
612
00:18:57,100 --> 00:18:59,867
It was the most expensive
at 795.
613
00:18:59,867 --> 00:19:02,033
[Courtney] But it was also
the most move-in ready.
614
00:19:02,033 --> 00:19:03,767
[Thanasi] So I really like
the style of the house.
615
00:19:03,767 --> 00:19:05,266
You could totally
envision that house
616
00:19:05,266 --> 00:19:07,533
on a hillside in Santorini
or something like that.
617
00:19:07,533 --> 00:19:08,300
[Veronica] Totally.
618
00:19:08,300 --> 00:19:09,467
[Thanasi] Close enough
to my family.
619
00:19:09,467 --> 00:19:10,667
[Courtney] I love
the kitchens,
620
00:19:10,667 --> 00:19:13,033
lots of countertop space,
lots of storage.
621
00:19:13,033 --> 00:19:14,233
There's two bathrooms.
622
00:19:14,233 --> 00:19:15,567
-Two...
-[all chuckling]
623
00:19:15,567 --> 00:19:17,133
-With lots of storage.
-Yeah.
624
00:19:17,133 --> 00:19:18,667
-And a hallway.
-And walk-in closets.
625
00:19:18,667 --> 00:19:19,567
[all laughing]
626
00:19:19,567 --> 00:19:20,934
[Courtney] The exterior,
627
00:19:20,934 --> 00:19:23,233
it needed a little bit
of something,
628
00:19:23,233 --> 00:19:24,367
-a little character.
-[Veronica] Yeah.
629
00:19:24,367 --> 00:19:26,667
I can still see something
happening back there.
630
00:19:26,667 --> 00:19:28,834
Trust me. Just, okay,
everyone, close your eyes.
631
00:19:28,834 --> 00:19:30,734
We're gonna imagine
beautiful grass,
632
00:19:30,734 --> 00:19:32,000
bistro lights.
633
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,433
Veronica definitely helped us
envision the spaces
634
00:19:35,433 --> 00:19:37,567
in ways that I would
have never imagined.
635
00:19:37,567 --> 00:19:39,667
[Thanasi] Her background,
she just has this vision.
636
00:19:39,667 --> 00:19:40,767
It just opened our eyes up
637
00:19:40,767 --> 00:19:42,667
to so many different
more possibilities
638
00:19:42,667 --> 00:19:44,433
that we would never see
without her.
639
00:19:44,433 --> 00:19:45,467
I've done my part,
640
00:19:45,467 --> 00:19:47,634
and I feel like you guys
have the hardest part,
641
00:19:47,634 --> 00:19:49,400
so you just let me know.
642
00:19:58,667 --> 00:20:00,567
[doorbell rings]
643
00:20:00,567 --> 00:20:01,533
-Hi!
-[Courtney] Hi!
644
00:20:01,533 --> 00:20:03,066
-[Thanasi] Hey, Veronica.
-How are you?
645
00:20:03,066 --> 00:20:04,834
Oh, my gosh.
You guys are all moved in.
646
00:20:04,834 --> 00:20:07,667
We picked
the California ranch.
647
00:20:07,667 --> 00:20:10,233
Even though this is more
of Thanasi's style,
648
00:20:10,233 --> 00:20:11,767
it still has
a lot of character,
649
00:20:11,767 --> 00:20:13,367
and we both love the backyard.
650
00:20:13,367 --> 00:20:14,667
-Yeah.
-Doesn't it feel bigger
651
00:20:14,667 --> 00:20:16,634
-with furniture in the space?
-[Courtney] Yes.
652
00:20:16,634 --> 00:20:18,333
[Thanasi] Definitely enough
room for the family.
653
00:20:18,333 --> 00:20:19,367
-Absolutely.
-Yeah.
654
00:20:19,367 --> 00:20:21,533
[Courtney] The house
was listed for 750
655
00:20:21,533 --> 00:20:23,867
and our original offer
was countered,
656
00:20:23,867 --> 00:20:26,266
so we ended up with 778.
657
00:20:26,266 --> 00:20:27,767
[Thanasi] Seven seventy-eight
was a little bit more
658
00:20:27,767 --> 00:20:28,667
than I wanted to spend,
659
00:20:28,667 --> 00:20:30,533
but with the home inspection
that we got back
660
00:20:30,533 --> 00:20:31,767
and the condition of the home,
661
00:20:31,767 --> 00:20:33,433
I was okay
with spending that much.
662
00:20:33,433 --> 00:20:34,567
The kitchen's great.
663
00:20:34,567 --> 00:20:35,834
-It's functioning.
-Good, okay.
664
00:20:35,834 --> 00:20:37,100
[Courtney] And so,
we're so excited.
665
00:20:37,100 --> 00:20:38,934
When we're ready
to design the kitchen,
666
00:20:38,934 --> 00:20:40,066
we will give you a call.
667
00:20:40,066 --> 00:20:41,000
Call me, you know
where to find me.
668
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,100
-[Courtney] Yes.
-[Thanasi] Definitely.
669
00:20:42,100 --> 00:20:43,867
But we have some bigger news
670
00:20:43,867 --> 00:20:44,734
-to tell you.
-[Veronica] Yeah.
671
00:20:44,734 --> 00:20:46,100
We got married.
672
00:20:46,100 --> 00:20:48,433
Oh, my God. Congratulations!
673
00:20:48,433 --> 00:20:49,734
Big milestones,
getting married,
674
00:20:49,734 --> 00:20:50,567
buying a house.
675
00:20:50,567 --> 00:20:52,767
For Courtney and Thanasi
to include me
676
00:20:52,767 --> 00:20:55,567
on this journey,
on this incredible milestone,
677
00:20:55,567 --> 00:20:59,000
was seriously so amazing,
so happy for them.
678
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,100
So I got you guys
a little gift.
679
00:21:00,100 --> 00:21:01,166
It's very heavy.
680
00:21:01,166 --> 00:21:03,667
-[Thanasi] Oh, wow.
-[Courtney] Oh, my gosh!
681
00:21:03,667 --> 00:21:06,066
Very first. Not first,
but in your new home,
682
00:21:06,066 --> 00:21:08,467
-bocce, or bocci ball.
-Yeah, I love it.
683
00:21:08,467 --> 00:21:10,133
Even though we were
on different pages,
684
00:21:10,133 --> 00:21:11,100
Veronica helped us see
685
00:21:11,100 --> 00:21:12,667
that we really
weren't too far apart
686
00:21:12,667 --> 00:21:14,133
when it came to making
this decision.
687
00:21:14,133 --> 00:21:15,367
-[chuckles]
-That's good.

[Thanasi] She was definitely
the vision that we needed.
689
00:21:17,033 --> 00:21:19,433
-Ooh. I got close!
-[Veronica] Oh!
690
00:21:19,433 --> 00:21:20,967
[Courtney] Now that
I have my husband,
691
00:21:20,967 --> 00:21:22,667
we can definitely
get our lives started
692
00:21:22,667 --> 00:21:23,834
and grow our little family.
693
00:21:23,834 --> 00:21:25,233
Maybe I'll just like pitch it.
694
00:21:26,767 --> 00:21:29,066
