I'm not a gambler or a nightclub guy.
Jonathan Scott
Your home should make your life easier.
Drew and I have always been very analytical at looking at the business opportunities. We're entrepreneurs through and through.
We're not pretending to be somebody else. We're being ourselves; we're doing what we do, and people have trust that they put in that, that we won't compromise on our ideals. And it really paid off.
Being married was a huge part of my life. I spent six and a half years with someone, and it didn't work. Anyone in a long-term relationship knows how hard that is.
I love kids, and I get along great with kids.
Of all the success and everything we've achieved, I think I'll be a great dad.
Sometimes you're running toward your target so hard that you don't stop to reassess.
There are probably less than 100 actors who make more than we do across our empire.
We became amazed with Property Brothers at how many kids watch and love the show. We'll even have 4- and 5-year-olds walk up on the street and say, 'Mom and Dad, look: it's the Property Brothers.'
Failure is part of success, and nobody should ever view failure as a bad thing as long as you learn from it.
Growing up, we were in a strict household, so we weren't allowed to have posters of our crushes and stuff on the wall - mine was Cristina Applegate.
I just felt like women love musicians, so I thought that we should become musicians. It'll help my dating life.
Drew's a total wimp.
When the economy collapsed, our construction company was in Calgary, but the U.S. was further along in the recession, so I made the move down to Vegas.
I'm very good at relaxing.
People think because you're a celebrity, because you're on TV, because you're 'People Magazine''s Sexiest Men Alive, things like that, that we're bathing in champagne and taking limos door to door. But we're literally the same guys, just with much busier schedules.
Hiking, scuba diving - I just love getting out and doing things.
I'm four minutes older. Of all the competitions in our life, I won the first one. Though Drew is a quarter inch taller.
Drew pretty much eats all gluten free. I go for flavor over cardboard.
I love classic Christmas. I love just warmth and a little bit of glam. You gotta have the silvers and the golds and what not, but I go a little overboard.
I am a Christmas nerd. Christmas is my favorite holiday.
We really find that most houses we look at - that are really rough around the edges - most of those are actually diamonds in the rough. They could be beautiful, and it just takes a little creativity and having the right people on board.
Justin Timberlake is one of our style icons - he does both formal and casual perfectly.
A good laundry room with storage can make life easier.
I'll admit that I enjoyed my 20s more than my teens, my 30s more than my 20s.
I love to laugh. A sense of humor is really important.
When buyers see the pride of ownership - when they come in, and they're impressed by how clean the place is - they can picture their kids playing on the floor. They can picture the family sitting around the table. When they can picture their own family in that space, instantly you grab them, and they'll pay more money, too.
Buyers look at everything. They open every drawer. They open every cabinet door. So make sure your underwear is folded nicely.
I literally learned everything I could try to do to get a date, and it did not work when I was younger. I heard people love musicians, so I took up the bagpipes.
I remember, this one time, one of my best friends was living with us for a little while, this place we were renovating. We got back, we'd been cleared out. The place had been robbed. They must have backed up trucks to get the appliances. And our buddy was still sleeping.
What we've found is that there's a real gap between what people see and love for their home and actually pulling the trigger and making it happen. One of the biggest problems is people are afraid to make the wrong purchase.
We love meeting fans face to face.
We started out as actors. When we were coming out of high school, we didn't want to be struggling actors, and - I remember the conversation - we were like, 'Let's invest in real estate!'
I'm a magician. A lot of people don't know that I've won awards. I used to do big stage shows.
I don't really watch TV. I don't have time.
I think that's one of the biggest things people don't understand: a clean house will sell faster.
When people suggest we like to 'dream big'... they're absolutely right.
Drew was a director, and I'm a magician.
There's always people trying to do something to make a quick buck. But, if you plan on the long game, you can essentially guarantee success if you're willing to put in the work and if you surround yourself with the right team.
The main thing for me is that anything I design, I try to design it with just a little bit of pizzazz, something that's going to allow the family to stay home and enjoy the space as opposed to necessarily having to always go to a park or something.
There have been some clients who have said, 'In order to compete, I'm going to put a pool in and then sell the house.' That's a terrible idea.
Drew is the most competitive man on the planet. It doesn't matter if we're running to the car: he has to get there first.
With my own home, I feel like I'm the mechanic who drives a crappy car. I never have time to work on my own home.
I went back to college for construction and design.
I'm usually able to reuse at least 50 percent of the clients' furniture. Most times, I'll just clean it up, make it look like new, and that's the best way to save money.
I think when you are young and you don't really know what you want in life, you can commit to something and think at the time it is right.
Anyone who has been through failed relationships - even people in successful relationships - understand that you gain perspective about what is important to you.
I've only ever seen a couple tiny home spaces that are actually a clever use of space.
Open-faced, traditional, wood-burning fireplaces are very inefficient.
