Family Ties Beckon and Break
Laura and Mark Knightley purchased a fixer-upper in 2002, and after spending $30,000 to remodel the entire place, the only original fixtures remaining are the dishwasher and the kitchen sink. The house is now in great shape, but the bold rainbow colors in every room may be detracting some buyers. Despite being desperately in love with their house, the Knightleys are selling in order to move closer to Laura's grandparents in Valencia. Meanwhile, Derick Taylor originally bought his house 11 years ago and has already spent $30,000 on renovations. He was in the midst of several other home improvement projects when he and his wife decided to go through an amicable divorce. Rather than finishing his projects, he put the house on the market. After nearly three months, there hasn't been a single serious offer. That's where Donna and Shannon Freeman come into the picture. They'll conduct a thorough search of each house to determine where changes can be made that can get these homes sold.
