The Gaines are well known for turning houses from drab to fab.
If you know Chip and Joanna, then you’ll know they love shiplap and dramatic reveals.
However, not every client of theirs was on board.
Kelly and Ken Downs were among thehomeowners who were unimpressed with their “Fixer Upper” experience.
The master renovating duo, however, understandably didn’t call out any couples by name.
But they did speak to one practice that puts the homeowners out of their favor.
We want to do remodels for clients' homes.
In fact, the Gaines warned future participants that they were going to crack down on it.
Perhaps one of the couples they were referring to was Jeff and Sara Jones.
The Joneses starred in season 3 of the hit HGTV show, becoming first-time homeowners on air.
Several properties that all got the Gaines' special touch are available to rent on Airbnb and Vrbo.
And yet, it may simply be that the homeowners had no other choice.
It seems"Fixer Upper" homes are harder to sell.
The fame attached to these properties might bring excited renters, but buyers are evidently harder to come by.
