Premise

2003–2011

In seasons 1 through 9, cameras were set up to record prospective buyers' reactions in a one-day open house, followed by Memme showing and discussing the comments with the homeowners. Afterward, Hazard makes his evaluation. He, Memme, the sellers, and their friends and family then work to stage the house, fixing, minimizing or hiding any problems he has found, working with a budget of a few hundred dollars. This generally involves redesigning the landscaping, painting, removing excess clutter and personal items and staging furnishings without making structural changes to the house. Finally, the same potential buyers are brought back for a second walkthrough.

2020–2022

In May 2020, A+E Networks announced the series would be returning for its tenth season after a nearly nine-year hiatus. Season 10 premiered on May 18, 2020, on FYI [2] and many free streaming services. The latest season focuses on houses that have been sitting on the market for more than 100 days. Memme starts by conducting an open house to get feedback from buyers, before working with a local designer to transform the homes. After relisting the homes online and conducting a new round of open house inspections, viewers see the transformation, hear prospective buyer feedback, and find out for what price the home listed and if it sold.
