it makes me so happy that monica can show shelby houses now as a realtor... so cool!

the modern townhouse, while not my personal style, is beautifully done! and that rental unit is gorgeous!

Wow! What a lifestyle at such a young age. Both of you sisters are blessed!

First place Shelby: “it only has one bathroom” Monica: “look, she said she wanted a project.”

Shelby's requirements: "But can it fit a hot tub?" :) I like this series, also the "interview" style was different and a nice touch. I'm excited to see what kind of properties you will tour in other cities. I feel like you are more comfortable in warmer weather but I understand the attraction of being close to family. Happy hunting!

The condo was sooo nice! Especially living alone, it is nice to be in a super secure building and have access to all of those HOA amenities -- makes you feel far less isolated.

The town house is great but bedrooms are tooo small for the price paying for. The fact that it has that extra appartment that you can rent out is great. Great to see you and Monica together again and having her to be your realtor. Dont be rush. You will find the right house and you will feel it at the first moment. Get a fixer upper and turn it into a home but pay less. While you were in New York Monica send you pictures of a house that had a studio in back yard. That was a great house.

You are SUCH a good videographer and film maker. Honestly. This translates just like an HGTV show. The premise is clear, you looking and commenting positively and negatively is interesting and fun to watch. Shots, audio, b-roll, story telling, everything is on point. Very well done.

I love house hunting videos! Especially with all the details like neighborhood and price. Can't wait for the next one. Oh and I LOVE that Monica is your realtor! I love you both. ♥

Hey Shelby! I really enjoy this style of videos. I like how Monica is showing her realtor side of things. My favorite was definitely the sky rise condo. I feel like the view would be a huge interest point for tourists and it seems to be in a well located area. The townhouse gives me more of a settle down type of vibe. It’s a 10/10

So happy for you both, and super nice to see you together! You are both so loved and appreciated too! Both of you are good people and deserve it!

My heart dropped when she said budget was $1m. And even more when the first townhome was around $600,000 😩😩. You’re a really huge role model to me, I sure wish one day I can afford a nice home in a nice city that I love.

Ahhhh seeing you two together brings back so much memories from the collab channel you had way back when!

Three things: 1) it's amazing you're investing in real estate, it will make you super-wealthy in the long run; 2) Monica is an awesome real estate agent, good for her; 3) the last house is soooo great. I mean, $1.4m is what, $5,000 worth of mortgage plus extra expenses, so $6,000 or so? If you can rent out the basement for $1,500 and two bedrooms at $800... It's an excellent deal, imo.

NO - Seattle is full of stunning older homes with tons of walkable neighborhoods - Ravenna, Wallingford, First Hill - you know, you grew up here! Actually after watching the video w/ your dad, I found out you guys grew up closer to us in Federal Way! We were on S 380th Pl near Wild Waves for over 25 years -now in Tacoma which also has tons of gorgeous older homes! I'm sure your family would love to have you back - but please remember how gross the weather is here :/

I think a two bed two bath condo suits you best imo. Since you are young and like to travel, condos are easy to shut the door and leave for awhile. Add in the amenities, and everything is walkable downtown, you'd probably love it.

Pro-Tip: Hot tubs - go for gas-heated tubs. Why? They heat up so quickly (10 mins) that you really don't get tempted to just keep them on all the time. Much, much cheaper to own. You're Welcome!

Bezos poster in the communal area makes the apartment a hard no for me.

My brother and his wife bought their home in West Seattle in 2009 for $250K, then sold it in early 2020 for well over $700k, around ~$100k over asking price, with two dozen offers in the first few days. The Seattle market is insane, but I moved away in 2011 and would never go back lol. I like having my own parking spot/driveway.

Wow wow wow ‼️ ‼️

Perfect upload without any doubt.....Such a charming video. Thank you for being there for us!!!!

Great job, Shelby!!! We love you so much 🙌🙌🙌

Sister-Sister collab! Great teamwork! 1:46 Kerry Park! Love that view. I like the last one..modern townhouse

Such a great video! So much insight from you guys. That last place was amazing 🙌🙌

I’d definitely choose the last one, the new town house with the roof top. If you rent out that bottom unit it would help you pay off the house faster even if you only rented it while you payed the mortgage.

Loved this video! The interview style made it look like an episode of house hunters

Love this new video! Can’t wait to see more house tours in the future. I’m a big fan of finding an outdated single family home and making it your own!

Of the 3, the expensive townhouse is the best imo. Since you're leaning toward a fixer, you should check out West Seattle because you travel a lot and its only 10-15 from the airport. The bridge is reopening this year and light rail will be there eventually making it a great investment.

Wow!! I’m subscribed to both of you and I LOVE videos like this one when you two are together! :D

Maybe Shelby should look for a place in South Carolina where Sam is from? Just imagine what $1 million can buy there?

Love the video! Can’t wait for the rest of the series!

you guys are definitely the coolest sisters on youtube! always so fun/enlightening watching both of yours' investment journeys - really appreciate how transparent you both have always been :)

Next up: Love it or List it, where Shelby is the overzealous interior designer, and Monica is the pessimistic realtor😂

I love this real estate touring type video with you and your sister. Hope you do many more! As for my opinion, I would definitely do the condo tower but with a 2 bedroom (for office space) with a bigger living room on a higher floor. Love the clean modern style, huge windows, the city conveniences, condo community feel, the shared amenities and the safety/security. The townhouse although it had more space, the half windows and windows without views, levels and rooms setup and area I did not like. Can’t stop thinking about Dateline NBC break in scenarios when at that property. Would def not live alone there.

That last one is gorgeous; it would be a dream come true to live in such a beautiful and open space. The lack of a real yard would sting a bit, but that rooftop is amazing, though I'd want more privacy than that, so I'd have some kind of screening or lightweight optical barrier put up around at least half of the space, so that I could be up there in the open air without being visible to literally everyone within five miles. (But I'd still want to take in the view when I wanted, so either part of it isn't enclosed like that, or the parts that are have retractable sections that I can move aside to open it up when I want).

hah big brain move ;P her budget can go up every time she releases another video about her house search!

I always love looking at real estate videos, especially when I'm not the one having to pay! ;) Can't wait to see where you end up Shelby, thanks for taking us along on the ride. :)

I love the casual “budget’s around a million”

Loved this topic and style of video! More of these please!

which house was your favorite?! I really liked the modern townhouse but wow it's $$$$

ooooh buy #3 with monica. the modern townhouse. you guys could sell the other seattle townhouse and use the capital to buy this one. and still look for a fixer upper

The townhouse one (first one) looked so cute and nice!

These prices are bonkers compared to where I live. You would probably like the Portsmouth NH scene. Lots of restaurants, sort of an old time NYC architecture, on the ocean, an hour from Boston. Also no state income tax and no sales tax! One of the perks of living in NH.

Love love love this house content Shelby!!

I think I would keep the 1.4 million one because it’s a great investment property and if you think about it, it will end up being as cheap as the condo in the long run. Also, if you work from there you can put that in your taxes. So it’s a win win.

"Budget's around a million." is just such an insane sentence to hear. I cannot imagine. Lol I'm in on Property 3, too.

Have loved watching your videos time to time and seeing you move - weird to see you filming here in seattle! all the best

Keep on inspiring people Shelbs! Good luck on your next project house!

I love this kind of video and can’t wait to see more about the decision and your next project!

i love the new condo but with the size bedrooms of the townhouse (the 2nd one). this was a really cool video shelby!!

The 3rd house looks amazing but I think for when you are right now, the condo is great. It's in a more busy neighborhood, great ammenities and then later you can move to a house if you decide to stay

The last one because of the bottom unit. The bathrooms were on the dark side. For small bathrooms I like light oak cabinets with a horizontally grain with a white Caesarstone counter top. Mirror with a light built in.

Totally love the third option!

You're video portrays Monica's professionalism beautifully 👌👍

2nd condo reminded me of your NY stay inside when you went to the new place, the minimal look with large windows

I love the last one, it was so stunning! If it was me though, I’d probably go with the first one just because you could personalize it to how you want (esp for the price) and the yard space was so nice!

You inspire me so much as an investor, female boss babe and so much more. Love this series🙏♥️

What a coincident! We actually tour the exact townhouse as the property #3 in your video back in Feburary! It was geogours!

Existing to see what home you will pick. Thanks for sharing 👍 🥰

"I really trust her taste. I feel like she'll know what I like." For some reason this statement made me giggle, seeing that she is your twin.

Loved this!

Shelby Church we love your videos! Very informative as i am looking for a place in Everett possibly.

Keep on looking. All were great properties though!! Crazy how expensive Seattle is now, beautiful city!

best collab ever i loved this vid

i love that large square window in the primary bedroom

I love the last one!

I loved the modern Town house and the condo.

Looking forward to the next videos like this. Pretty cool. I would probably go for the last town house out of the three.

Good video, also love the family resemblance, you go qweens.

I would keep looking…loved the natural light in all of them, but at the end of the day, you have to ask yourself. How do I live and what do you need to determine what home suites you. If outside green space is important, then keep looking. That would be important to us. Even here in CA, we chose a home across from a park with a premium lot size because at the end of a long day or week, it is nice to sit on the patio and have an adult beverage while the dog runs around the yard or work out in the yard freshening up the garden and flowers. Good luck with your search❣️

#3 modern townhouse is what I see Shelby in. I myself would like #1 townhouse.

Really enjoying this type of series, from Vancouver btw, so housing prices are outrageous.

love these videos. I really like the condo

Definitely keep looking. I'm further north in Snohomish county, but I have a beautiful home.

The reno town home would be such a nice option, having such a "low" price and then having more money to be able to make the space your own is priceless to me.

We lived in a condo in downtown Seattle on Cedar St. for two years and it was a blast.

I love how casually you say "oh, around $1 million" 😅

I love all of them and if money wasn't a factor in my decision then I would choose the 3rd one. If the price was a factor I would probably choose the 2nd one over the 3rd.

I love how this video is filmed

the last one was def my favorite!

The last one was my favorite!

yes to the seattle content!!

They are all such good options! I would go #3 if money wasn't a factor, but then number #2 if money was a factor. The condo is super cool, but I would want at least 2 bedrooms for an office/guest room space.

I toured the first property when it was on the market in 2018 and I too agree that the lack of second bathroom was a dealbreaker for me. Great property otherwise!

Another good video. For me, a condo with two bedrooms and two bathrooms would be best option. Maybe such a unit will become available in the same building you filmed or in another building. We live in New Orleans in an older building in a 2br/2barth condo we purchased in 2014. Our condo rules only allow long term (1 yr+) rentals. The building has gated entry and is very secure. Security is important to us since we enjoy traveling throughout the year and never worry about leaving the condo for extended periods of time. Hope my comments give some food for thought. Good luck with your search.

I liked them all for different reasons. I will say our primary bedroom is ridiculously large at the expense of the other bedrooms on the same floor. My spouse and I don't spend a lot of time in it. We had to buy extra furniture and larger artwork so that it didn't look stupid. We feel like it's wasted real estate....just like our formal dining room. We pay a lot for rooms we don't use that much! : (

I love that you said primary bedroom not master. Thanks for being conscious of your viewers. Love the 3rd one!

The newly built town house ( 3rd one) is a great choice.

We just went through house hunting this past month. We viewed that SPU spot as well. It was a cool place for sure! You did a better job at showing it than the Redfin pics lol. It's a brutal market, but it's getting better out here. Good luck!

KZfaq recommended your video. Thanks for taking us on the journey! I'm a sucker for real estate :)

The townhouse no doubt! Seems like it would be an amazing home and a great investment

My fiancé & I are house hunting in the greater seattle area and it's killing us. We could afford a huge home in a number of other states but would have to pay 2-3x the price for the same thing in WA 😭we just toured new builds in SoCal and they're 500k where the same home in WA is $1.5 mil...affordable for us but ridiculous knowing we could get the same for less in other areas.

Yes, having Monica as ur agent would def bring benefits! hoping to see more content like this

I really enjoyed this episode.

Hope you go back to Seattle! Fremont, Wallingford, or Ballard might fit the bill for you? Crazy how $1M is what goes for a starter home in some cities.

Definitely prefer the last place. Although I also liked the old charm of the second one. From personal experience, I couldn't live in that condo with no outdoor space/balcony. They tend to feel stuffy because there's no fresh air and you can't even open a window when it's nice weather. You can't easily air things out so they get dusty quicker and tend to smell stale. They can also be eerily quiet.

The last one is super nice!

11:02 “Well, write the offer Monica, what are we even doing” lmao 😂

Great video

loved the condo, appreciate touring more like 🤘
