Open-faced, traditional, wood-burning fireplaces are very inefficient.

I've only ever seen a couple tiny home spaces that are actually a clever use of space.

Anyone who has been through failed relationships - even people in successful relationships - understand that you gain perspective about what is important to you.

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.

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 went back to college for construction and design.

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.

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.

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.

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'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.

Drew was a director, and I'm a magician.

When people suggest we like to 'dream big'... they're absolutely right.

I think that's one of the biggest things people don't understand: a clean house will sell faster.

I don't really watch TV. I don't have time.

I'm a magician. A lot of people don't know that I've won awards. I used to do big stage shows.

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!'

We love meeting fans face to face.

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.

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.

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.

Buyers look at everything. They open every drawer. They open every cabinet door. So make sure your underwear is folded nicely.

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.

I love to laugh. A sense of humor is really important.
