Banking on the success of Property Virgins , which focuses on first-time buyers who plan to live in their new home, Flipping Virgins distinguishes itself by making sure participants will be selling their home for hopefully a profit after the renovations are complete, as noted by XONecole.
Sherrod also proposed moving the show to Atlanta, Ga. When we think of people buying a house together, we often tend to think of couples, possibly with children, who are putting down roots for their family.
But as we see on Flipping Virgins , that is not always the case. In the first season 's fourth episode and season finale, two sisters went in on a flipping project together. In the second season 's premiere, two best friends — one who was recovering from a nasty divorce and property dispute — decided to flip a house together.
By the second season's sixth episode, Flipping Virgins featured a mother and daughter who wanted to tackle flipping a house as a team. The third season featured two more mother-daughter episodes, two more pairs of best friends, a couple of teachers who wanted a new stream of income, a father-daughter duo, and two more sisters who bought property together.
This diversity of buyers makes Flipping Virgins a unique addition to other house-hunting and house-flipping reality TV shows. While some of the homebuyers' relationships might come with different emotional attachments and tensions than romantic couples, Flipping Virgins focuses on the teamwork aspect along with Egypt Sherrod's professional advice. With years of experience under her belt , Egypt Sherrod has flipping houses down to a science, as she told Fox News Magazine in March As she says on Flipping Virgins , it's all about "finding the right house at the right price.
If a house is too damaged, flippers end up eating away at all their potential profits to renovate. To avoid this, Sherrod has found a sweet spot that she describes as "a third, a third, and a third. Because time is money. Getting involved in real estate is not as easy as it may appear, and buying a property comes with a lot of moving parts with many different people involved, from brokers to buyers. Egypt Sherrod has flipped dozens of homes — she flipped her first in her mids after getting her first major radio DJ paycheck — and she has the system down to not just a science but an art form.
On Flipping Virgins , Sherrod has one cardinal rule. In an interview with XONecole. In some cities the real estate market is booming! While in some cities it's still doing really, really bad. One of the easiest ways to turn a profit with house flipping is to do your own renovations rather than outsource the work to contractors, which can prove to be a more challenging aspect of the experience for some.
This is especially true if the new homeowner has never had any DIY training like most of the participants on Flipping Virgins. Sandra is a Real-Estate agent who shows buyers 3 houses. I've rated this show 9 out of 10 because as you watch, you realize that Sandra pressures every buyer to buy her houses for well over the asking costs. She tells them that they are in the midst of a bidding war and they need to bid a min of thousand dollars more then the house asking costs are.
Her clients clearly ask for simple things, like a finished basement or a large bath tub and she refuses to show any of these houses to her clients.
She tells them the house will sell in a hurry and they cannot wait, yet she always finds houses for every show. She also makes fun of the "virgins" behind their backs every chance she gets. It is joyful watching what a horrific real-estate agent Sandra is and I must say I do enjoy the show.
However I enjoy the show but it should be renamed Real-estate agent rip off nightmares. It seems as though Sandra is working for the sellers. When Egypt hosts the show, she is very nice and listens to her buyers, she even partners with them clearly trying to help them find a dream home that meets their needs. Details Edit.
