Sister Fun Meets Style Meets Business with “Unsellable Houses”
Twin sisters of HGTV’s “Unsellable Houses” offer home design and style tips.
Real estate consultants and twin sisters Leslie Davis and Lyndsay Lamb have a knack for helping desperate homeowners sell their lifeless homes on the HGTV show “Unsellable Houses.” After visiting nearby comparable homes, the sisters make the necessary, impactful renovations that convert these unlovable houses into diamonds in the rough.
After building PNW-based Lamb & Co., into a successful, full-service real estate and home design company, word of the twins’ talent and exuberant characters spread around the entertainment industry.
Leslie and Lyndsay soon landed the incredible opportunity to have their own HGTV show — “Unsellable Houses.” The sisters’ talent for helping homeowners sell their “unsellable” homes shone brightly on the big screen, helping them quickly become go-to experts for homeowners, designers and DIYers around the nation.
What is an unsellable home? “It’s any house that’s not selling at its top potential value,” Davis and Lamb said. “Sometimes that means it’s one that’s been on the market longer than average without seeing any bites. More often, it means a home that hasn’t been given the time and attention needed to really max out its sale value.”
The twins invest their own money into that unsellable house and make it attractive to buyers — addressing kitchens, bathrooms, color choices and home décor.
“Unsellable Houses,” which attracted more than 27 million viewers during its first season, follows Lyndsay, an expert in home renovation, design and staging, and Leslie, an expert in budget and negotiations, as they transform stagnant listings into hot properties. With the confidence they can sell any house for a profit, the pair invests their time and know-how to turn lackluster homes into beautiful spaces with functional design that are sure to fly off the market.
