New York [June 27, 2019] The worst homes in Houston’s best neighborhoods are getting Texas-sized makeovers in the new HGTV series Going for Sold, premiering Thursday, Aug. 1, at 11 p.m. ET/PT. The series stars real estate agent Jon Pierre Tjon-Joe-Pin and his wife Mary, a former flight attendant who left her career to pursue her love of design and start their home renovation business. In each episode, the busy parents of two turn forgotten homes into charming and affordable properties that appeal to young families looking for a high-end look without the hefty price tag. With a love for bright colors and bold design, Mary incorporates artful features into each home, including removable wallpaper, bamboo sinks, modern staircases and geometric paint accent walls.
“Jon’s worked in real estate for years, and I lent a hand with design,” said Mary. “I took a giant leap of faith, quit my job and went all in to create our family business.”
“More than one hundred people move to Houston every day, so we’re working to keep up with demand,” added Jon. “Mary’s style helps houses look better and sell faster.”
In the series premiere, Jon and Mary buy a large home that has a living room with cathedral ceilings and a bonus loft space. The outdated property also is riddled with issues, including a cracked foundation, crumbling kitchen and ugly finishes. The duo works extra hard to complete the massive overhaul by adding a stunning modern staircase, sleek modern kitchen and luxurious master bath. Throughout the season, Jon and Mary overcome serious renovation challenges such as faulty plumbing and roof leaks, rework choppy floor plans and even incorporate a New Orleans-inspired design that reflects Mary’s Louisiana upbringing.

What do you think? Are you a fan of home makeover series? Will you check out Going for Sold?
I Love the couple they work so good togather,together, I love her money saving idea’s and her vision for each project.
I looked forward to this show when it was running. The husband & wife have a great working relationship & her designs were always original & I love this show & cant wait for the next season. PLEASE tell me that there will be another season.
Love the show. Their chemistry on tv is wonderful. As a former flight attendant I would have loved to fly with Mary. The show has homes that most Americans live in. You know normal people. I hope this show continues for several seasons to come.
Love this show!
I love it. I hope it gets a second season. I really like the chemistry between them and her decorating style. Watching them I have reconsidered buying new and renovating instead.
My wife & I just finished watching the first three episodes of Going for Sold. We love them and can’t wait for the next episode. We’re looking to buy our first home and know we want to look in Huston, TX.
What a surprise! Another husband/wife team flipping houses. Not much originality on the part of HGTV.
I have to see if like it my favorites are property brothers and love it or list it
We will check it out. Has there been a decision made on a possible season 4 of Desert Flippers?
