This HGTV show reminds me of some of their older shows, that were less about personalities, and more about resourceful transformations.  Realtor sisters Leslie and Lyndsay are based in Everett, Washington, and help homeowners analyze why their houses won't sell, and then they update them. 

 

Their styles range from "the expected" to the more quirky, depending on what they think that particular house needs in order to sell.

 

Here's a little sample:

Anyway, for some reason, these two don't seem as annoying (to me) as so many of the hosts HGTV has now, and I like that the shows are just half an hour.   I just want to get to the "afters" of these white elephant' houses!'

 

It's on Tuesdays at 9:00 p.m. Eastern.  They re-air a bunch of them starting at 7:00 a.m. Eastern Thursday morning, if you want to check them out.   Nice escape!

It's a no from me.

 

I do find them annoying.

Probably more than Property Brothers

Oh how I wish they'd go back to non-real estate shows!  Gardening, budget decorating, do-it-yourself, etc.  I like real estate shows, but I like the other stuff too.

@Peaches McPhee,  I'd say this one is far less about real estate, and more about what you can do decorating-wise, with a seeming "dud" of a house.  I like the creativity of what they come up with, on mostly quite lean budgets.

I like this show, but their budgets are a joke- even more unrealistic than some other HGTV shows.

SO tired of the totally overexposed Property Brothers! All the houses look the same to me.

I am enjoying this as I like that all of their looks aren't the same!

Bingo-- that's exactly what I like about them, @CANDLEQUEEN .  They exercise a little creativity with each one, depending on what they think it needs-- so the houses don't end up looking like cookie-cutter copies of each other!  At least, not in the ones I've seen so far.

 

Some people might find the twins a wee bit "perky", and be put off by that, but I find them mostly fun and not "too much" like some hosts of these shows are...

Re: "UNSELLABLE HOUSES". HGTV

I caught some reruns or a marathon a couple of weeks ago but didn't know when the show actually aired.  It's not a good time for me as it competes with several other shows I try to watch at the same time but at least I know now.  From the few episodes I saw, I really liked them....maybe I haven't seen enough shows for them to annoy me yet....LOL!

I like this show.   It's only 30 minutes, doesn't spend all the time looking at 3 different houses, and no nonsense budgeting/planning.  You go twins!!
