[David] One thing I've learned about Britnee.
Do you bake?
[David] This mom is not a baker.
Listen, every apartment we've been in,
there's something wrong with the stove.
-We'll go with that. -Yeah.
[David] She's had to share tiny bathrooms.
Like, kind of put your legs outside the door.
-So this is bigger. -Hope no one walks in, kind of thing.
[David] She's strong, loving,
and totally deserves some dreams of her own.
Do we need, like, a tiny robe moment or a naked moment?
-A naked moment. -OK.
[David] I can't wait to find out more.
♪♪
[David] About an hour southeast of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
is the adorable small town Mount Pleasant.
And I am pleasantly pleased how pretty everything is.
The drive is stunning, rolling hills, farms.
Small-town living is my vibe.
I grew up with it, so I have a real deep connection to it.
Really looking forward to this week.
I'm on my way to meet Britnee,
and I'm excited to hear her story.
Everyone's got a unique one.
-I'm excited. -Yes, you're in sparkles.
Sparkles!
Oh, my God, it's so great to see you.
-Hi, good to see you. -Are you ready for this?
I am.
-OK, let's go. -[David] Oh, my gosh,
this is going to be so fun. Yes!
-Do you always wear sparkles? -All the time.
Tell me what you love about it.
The glitter, the shine.
I don't know, everything. It just makes me feel good.
So how you feel about sparkles
is how I feel about the color pink.
Every time I see it,
it's just like this little, like here.
I got this shirt not because of this, because of this.
-My son likes pink. -It makes me feel --
-Mm-hmm. -You're adorable.
-Do you live here? -Yes.
I live in a two-bedroom duplex with my three kids.
I have two boys and a girl.
14, 10, and the other one's 12.
[David] What's life for you right now?
-Sports. -Sports?
Coming home from work, I go to a sport.
Softball, wrestling, soccer, and football.
A lot. Active.
-It keeps 'em out of trouble. -Yeah, for sure.
-So you came into some money? -I did.
So we were at baseball practice.
OK.
And my kids were hungry, so we went out to eat.
We were in there just hanging out, and obviously there was
a scratch-off machine. -So this is a lottery win?
-It is. -Oh, my God, yes!
I was scratching, and my daughter's sitting there,
and I was like, um, said, one million underneath.
And I was like, "Oh, snap." I was like, "No."
-I was like, freaking out. -A million dollars?
I was like, "What do I do now?"
And after that, it just, I don't know.
It was just...
-So it's been a whirlwind. -Yeah.
-Congratulations. -Well, thanks.
-That's huge. -We never had money.
So even when you get handed money like that,
we don't know how to handle it or how to get excited -[David] Right.
because our entire life, we live paycheck-to-paycheck. -Yeah.
-Obviously, you are calling me. -Yeah.
So the reality has kind of set in?
It has.
I mean, my kids have been able to do things they wanted to do
that they've never done in their life.
Like what?
So we went on a cruise to Mexico, and they loved it.
First time out of the country?
-It was for my son's birthday. -Oh, my God.
I did a surprise pop-up trip for them to Fort Lauderdale
because they've never been on a plane.
So I trapped them when they came off the school bus
and put them in the car.
You're giving them these monumental, cool memories.
Yes. It feels good.
I mean, obviously, they do still work
for what they need. -Of course.
Like, if they want something, they still got to do chores.
-Of course. -Like, it's not given to them.
I'm so thrilled that you're allowing yourself
to give your kids memories. -Yeah.
And you're allowing yourself to buy a house now.
-It's exciting. -Good.
Tell me about this fabulous house I can find you.
It needs to be at least three to four bedrooms.
-Yes. -At least two bathrooms.
-Yes, please. -Yes.
-They want a yard. -Love.
So I can be inside, kids out there.
[David] Right.
OK, budget?
I would like to knock over 400.
That is a good, healthy budget.
And we're going to help you find your dream home.
-Awesome, I'm excited. -This is going to be fun.
Oh, my God. This is going to be the best surprise.
Even better than a trip.
Yes.
♪♪
Very happy Britnee won the lottery.
It's a well-deserved thing.
But this is tugging at my heartstrings.
Single mom, three very active children.
It's a lot.
We're finding a house for her. This is so fun.
So I'm heading over to meet Lisa and Paula.
-Well, welcome to our area. -Thank you.
-It's so pretty. -It is very pretty here.
-What did you call it? -Laurel Highlands.
We're in the Laurel Highlands area of western Pennsylvania,
hometown of Arnie Palmer,
and then also Mister Rogers.
So it's always a beautiful neighborhood here.
Stop it. Mister Rogers?
-Yeah! -Stop it.
This is Mister Rogers in Latrobe.
-[David] Iconic moment, right? -Yes, yes.
[Lisa] Very nice. He's wonderful man.
All right, so we got some good houses?
-Fabulous houses. -May I look?
-Absolutely, absolutely. -What's your market like?
Most sellers are going to expect to get asking price.
-OK, so it's competitive. -[both] Yes.
-So not a lot for sale. -Correct.
-Because people want to be here. -They go fast.
-[Lisa] Yeah. -[Paula] Inventory is low.
[David] I can see why people love it here.
It's affordable, peaceful,
but still close to Pittsburgh city life.
Today we are in Monroeville on the outskirts of Pittsburgh.
Super cute neighborhood.
Mulberry Mountain's a great house.
I feel family all over it.
Each of our homes have long drive times,
which gives me the opportunity to get to know Britnee.
With all of us kids, there's five of us.
Growing up wasn't easy.
Me and my sisters had to grow up quick.
My brothers had to be,
you know, we were told something.
You just had to be not children.
Yes.
Yeah, I'm sorry you had to go through all that.
[Britnee] It kind of separated all of us.
Brothers and sisters.
I talked to one sister, and that's it.
And that's all I have left in my family,
so it's just me and my kids.
Now I understand, like, the dynamic of
why your kids are so important. -Yeah.
And for you to give them a life that you were never
allowed to have. -Yes.
-And you're doing that. -I am.
And you were doing that before the million dollars, right?
-Yep. -How exciting.
[Britnee] It is super exciting.
This is the house.
It's called Mulberry Mountain. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms.
A little over 1,600 square feet, 325.
-OK. -Right?
-Like, I love this. -Yeah, that's cute.
With this, I think it's just phenomenal.
-This design's cute. -Let's get into it.
So we're coming right into living room, and then
kitchen on the right. -Oh, wow -- ooh, I like the kitchen.
[David] Oh, you went right for the kitchen.
-I did. -Yeah, great living room.
-Why don't we get all up in it? -Yes.
-I never had a big kitchen. -Go HAM.
Like, how big is your kitchen now?
Not very big.
As soon as you walk in, it's like this.
Just a little galley kitchen?
-Mm, it's tiny. -Just with enough to --
to do what it needs to do?
-No? -I like the countertops in this.
-Countertops are really pretty. -This is probably my favorite right here.
-It's really pretty. -Yes, I like that.
-Do you bake? -[Britnee clears throat]
If you ask my daughter, she's going to tell you
I can't bake. -Oh, OK.
Listen, every apartment we've been in,
there's something wrong with the stove.
So I'm going to just say that.
-OK, we'll go with that. -Yeah.
We'll go with that. It's the stove's fault.
-How dare they? -I have to blame it on someone.
I won't blame it on my daughter, but I'll blame it on the appliances.
[David] On the first floor, there's also two really
good sized bedrooms, and one of two bathrooms.
What does it compare to the bathroom
you're currently using? -It's tinier than this.
It's tinier than this, so this is a big upgrade.
-Yes, a large upgrade. -And we have another bathroom.
-Isn't that exciting? -Yes.
Double the pleasure, double the fun.
All right, so here's the other living room.
A little weird, I'm gonna say,
but the kids will love it.
[Britnee] It is cute.
This is where everyone's gonna be hanging out
like crazy. -A little game room.
-Yeah, big enough? -Yes.
What's your current living room look like?
-Probably about this size. -About this size?
-Yeah. -Except you don't have two.
-We have two. -I know.
-Yeah. -[David] Should we go upstairs
and look at the other bedrooms?
-[Britnee] Yes. -[David] OK.
So I have two identical bedrooms here.
-[Britnee] Ooh, this is cute. -[David] This is fun, right?
Yeah.
[David] We're at bedroom three and four, right?
We haven't seen the main bedroom.
-[Britnee] Right. -Main bedroom is down in the basement
that they're using now.
So you have the opportunity to pick, like, this whole floor,
put someone downstairs.
-Yeah. -All right, let's go downstairs
and look at the other living room slash main bedroom.
[chuckles] Oh, my God, the puss pusses.
-You like cats? -I do.
[David] Of course you do.
All right, so this they have set up as the main bedroom.
[Britnee] Oh, this is cute.
[David] What do you think of this as the main bedroom for you?
Or more of a playroom for the kids?
Probably a playroom for the kids.
I agree, I think one of those bedrooms up there
could work for you. -More higher, yeah.
Like a top floor.
-Yeah. -Exciting.
-Should we go outside? -Yes.
[indistinct chatter]
-All right. -Oh, this is gorgeous.
Look at this huge deck. Great for the kids.
-We got an above-ground pool. -Beautiful pool.
Yeah.
Your kids will go crazy for that.
[Britnee] Oh, my gosh. I love it.
So you like the property?
-I do, it's a good start. -Good, good.
[David] What can I do for you tomorrow?
-Maybe not so many neighbors. -Neighbors.
-Yeah. -Yeah, I got you.
It is beautiful. Somewhere I can come out
with coffee and just relax
and not have to stare in someone's window.
Now, do we need like a tiny robe moment or a naked moment?
-A naked moment. -OK.
We're going to keep looking until we find you
your perfect house. -Sounds great.
-It's got nice out, doesn't it? -It did.
-We should go for a stroll? -Yes.
[David] Go for a stroll.
[David] I love the countryside and all it has to offer,
especially the wildlife.
Oh, my God, what is that? Is that...
[David] Oh... oh, it's a buzzard.
It's a buzzard.
-[David] Yummy. -[producer] Dead animal.
[David] Nature.
[laughing]
[David] Today, we're heading out of town because Britnee wants
to see a property with fewer neighbors.
Loaflee Lane, super cute 1920s farmhouse.
I think it's fantastic.
But I'm a country boy, dressed as a city one.
Inside, it's all hay bales and chickens.
I say hay bales and chickens.
[laughing] Bok, bok!
I would love to have chickens.
1922 farmhouse, Loaflee Lane, three-bedroom, two-bath.
You're looking at all the property, aren't you?
I am.
This is the country I'm talking about.
This is, I love it, too.
Just over 1,500 square feet, completely renovated,
so no projects.
Sits on an acre and a half, but you have a lot more
visual space than that, which is really cool.
$349, we are still far under your budget.
-Isn't this great? -Beautiful, yes.
-Shall we get into it? -Let's go.
All right. Come on in, my love.
-[Britnee] Ooh. -[David] Right?
-I like it. -Nice, wide hallway.
-Mm-hmm. -You can tell everything's been redone.
-What year was this built? -1922.
Wow. It looks good for 1922.
[David] It looks really good for --
she's had some work done.
-[Britnee] I love it. -Yeah.
-Nice and spacious. -Yes.
-Should we keep going? -Yes.
Love it.
All righty, all righty. It's a big, old dining room.
-Would you have family dinners? -[Britnee] I would.
Now I would, yeah, for sure. All my kids would love it.
They would love to sit down and have dinner.
-No phones allowed? -Nope.
Do they all have phones?
They all have phones, but they don't,
they're not on it when we're out somewhere,
like dinner and stuff.
They all, we all talk and just hang out.
-You're a cool mom. -Oh, sometimes.
[David] Oh, well, you can't be cool all the time.
-Kitchen, not quite as big as yesterday, -[Britnee] Ooh.
but still very, very nice.
[Britnee] Way bigger than the kitchen that I have.
-It is gorgeous. -It is nice, right?
Is it going to be weird to have so much space?
I'm not going to really know what to do with it
or even how to fill up the house
because I'm not used to all of this.
[David] Now, Britnee and the kids have choices.
There's one small bedroom on the first floor,
which is next to one of the bathrooms.
The rest are upstairs.
Oh, OK. Old age.
Cute, open stairwell. All right, our first bedroom.
-Oh, wow. -Size-wise?
-[Britnee] Perfect for the kids. -Good.
-Perfect. -Good.
[David] All right, so we have guest bathroom,
which I love -- it's really cute.
Yeah, for sure.
-Very big. -It's nice.
[Britnee] Very, very big. Nice closet.
[David] I love all the finishes.
I love the colors. I have no notes.
-I do. -All right.
[David] This room is even bigger.
-Yes. -It's great, right?
One of the kids are going to be very happy
with the large room. -Yeah.
All right, so this bedroom has to be yours,
because it has double closets. -Ooh.
I do like double closets.
Yeah.
This would be my room, for sure.
For sure, because you deserve it.
-[Britnee] It is very nice. -Because you won the lottery,
and you're the mom.
-Yes. -But the outside.
-Let's go. -Shall we, shall we?
-Yes, let's go. -Acre and a half to explore.
[David] All right.
Back porch matches the front one.
-Oh, it's very big. -Look at all this.
-Look at all this, it's -- -[Britnee] It is gorgeous.
[David] Like, what would the kids think?
Like, instant playground, right?
And you have to get a trampoline.
Toys galore. Oh, yeah, trampoline.
-You have to. You have the space to do it. -Oh, my gosh.
[Britnee] Yes, yes.
So I know you love the property.
-I do. -So, tomorrow,
give me a vibe.
This is going to be a hard one to beat,
but I think maybe you're going to have to surprise me.
[David] You know, I'll do that.
There's not a lot on the market, so I will dig
through the few that I have and find the one
I think that you'll enjoy.
Should we walk the property a little bit?
-Yes, let's go. -Let's do it.
I love this old barn over here.
I'm an outdoor boy. As a kid, this is how I grew up.
-I grew up on the edge of town. We had an acre and a half. -[Britnee] Mm-hmm.
[David] I mowed the whole thing by hand.
[Britnee] Oh, my gosh.
[David] Yeah, that was like, we had chores.
[David] We're in the Monroeville Mount Pleasant area,
and it's just really fun to see
very affordable housing outside of a major city.
I'm learning Britnee loves her privacy.
So I found another great option in Monroeville.
Glen Earl Gorge is an amazing house,
still with neighbors,
but like lush, lush greenery.
If she wanted to walk out
and show the world her goods,
while her kids are not there, she could.
It's got three bedrooms and two bathrooms,
over 1,800 square feet,
sits on a quarter of an acre.
So there's still space.
We're at $379 here, which is a really great price.
Look at all the beautiful vegetation.
It's so peaceful. You can hear the birds.
Not bad. Ready?
-Let's go. -All right.
All right, cutie pie.
-Ooh. -I know, right?
[David] Look at that fireplace.
-[Britnee] I love it. -[David] She's cute.
I love a good fireplace.
[Britnee] That'd be nice to sit in front of a fire with kids.
Christmas tree. We haven't talked about
the holidays at all.
-Do we do holidays? -We do every holiday.
-Every holiday? -Yes.
Oh, my God. Yes for the holidays.
All right, we're going to start out in the main bedroom.
It does have its own ensuite, which is a first.
-We haven't seen one of those. -It is.
-It's very pretty in here. -It's pretty, isn't it?
It's a nice sized room, too.
All right, we have a small bathroom, but it is a bathroom.
[Britnee] Gorgeous. I like the wall back here.
[David] It's really pretty.
Have you ever had a bathroom connected to your bedroom?
-Yes, I have. -You did?
-One time. -OK, one time.
-That's nice, right? -But it didn't really count.
Why?
Because it wasn't even really that big.
You had to, like, kind of put your legs outside the door.
-You know, it's like... -So this is bigger.
Hope no one walks in, kind of thing.
[David] Down the hall in this beautifully maintained
mid-century house, there are two more cute bedrooms
for the kiddos,
and a bathroom that's big enough for all your limbs.
Well, it's a cute size bathroom too.
-It's cute. -I do like it.
[David] I love the tile. It looks original to the house.
And if it's not, then they did a really nice job of making it
feel vintage. -It looks very nice.
Great. Let's continue.
All right, let's go into the kitchen.
[Britnee] OK.
Little dining room area here.
Right off the kitchen.
[Britnee] That's a cute little kitchen.
-It's a cute little kitchen. -It is, nice size.
-It's a nice size. -It's a lot bigger than what I'm used to.
[David] Nothing needs to be done, right?
The house is in phenomenal shape.
But if I was to live here, I'd probably tear this out
and extend the whole kitchen that way. -Mm-hmm.
Yeah, an island.
-Yeah. -I am obsessed with islands.
-Islands are great. -[Britnee] I do.
I love islands.
[David] I'm an island girl myself.
All right, so this is my favorite room in the house.
It's a delicious family room.
-[Britnee] Ooh, high ceilings. -High ceilings, it's great.
-And another fireplace. -Oh, a fireplace.
[Britnee] I do like this living room.
[David] It's a great living room.
[David] High ceilings are my favorite.
-[David] It's so nice, yeah. -My all-time favorite.
[David] Let's continue. We have one more space before we get outside.
All right. Do you like sunrooms?
-[Britnee] I love it. -Aren't they fun?
[Britnee] I've always wanted a sunroom.
[David] It's kind of like a little dream, right?
-Watch the birds. -Yeah.
-Should we go outside? -[Britnee] Let's go.
Do you see how, like, pro-naked this is, though?
-Out here? -Mm-hmm.
I have some ideas.
-Just a few. -Mm-hmm!
Just a couple.
Ooh, naked moment indeed.
Right? Like, it's so private.
[Britnee] Yes. Little kid's playground.
[David] Little kid's playground. Cute, right?
[Britnee] It is very nice. Very homey.
Yeah, think your kids are going to like any of these?
-I do, yes. -Good.
Good, because it's all about the kids.
-It's all it ever is. -Take your time.
I'm enjoying it here.
When you have an idea, let me know,
and we'll pay cash, right?
-That's right. -Yes!
♪♪
-Are you ready for this? -Yes, I am.
-Homeowner? -Yes.
I'm very excited for you. I'm excited for your kids.
-Yeah. -Super excited.
Oh, I bet.
All righty, all righty.
You've been a delight.
It's been fun.
So you have two bedrooms, one bath right now.
-Mm-hmm. -What is the sleeping situation like?
So the two boys share the one room.
[David] OK.
We did try sharing, my daughter and I,
the other room.
There was no way. She snores too much.
I couldn't do it.
So I moved downstairs on the couch.
Ready for a bed?
-Yes. -Good.
All right, we started this yummy journey
out at Mulberry Mountain. -[Britnee] Yes.
-I really like the kitchen. -[David] Kitchen was great.
[Britnee] The rooms were nice size.
-Very vibrant. -[David] Yeah, yeah.
[Britnee] The house was very, very vibrant.
[David] It had a lot of space, a lot of separate space
for everybody. -Yes.
[David] It had a pool, which was super fun,
but that was the entire backyard.
-[Britnee] It was, yeah. -[David] You know?
Then I took you over to Loaflee Lane.
[Britnee] Lots of space. The house inside was beautiful.
[David] The house was great.
-[Britnee] Yes. -Like 1922 farmhouse,
all been redone, no projects.
[Britnee] That was great. I love that one, yeah.
[David] You can't beat the property there, you know?
[Britnee] Lots of space.
Glen Earl Gorge, so cute.
[Britnee] Yes, I loved the homey vibe.
[David] Yeah, vintage-y, sexy, sort of a vibe, you know?
[Britnee] In the sunroom, in the living room.
High ceilings, the wooden sunroom.
-I loved it. -[David] Yeah.
I did like the privacy in the backyard.
-[David] Yeah. -[Britnee] I really did.
-It's perfect. -Yep.
All right. The time has come.
I know you're paying all cash.
I'm going to have to probably go with...
♪♪
Come on. Where are we going?
I really think I'm going to have to go with...
Loaflee Lane.
[David] It had the space. It had the no projects.
[Britnee] It did. I can't beat the yard.
-[David] I cannot. -[Britnee] I can't, I -- I --
-I like country. -[David] It was [indistinct].
That's what my kids like to do, is be outside.
What's the first thing you're going to do?
Toys for the kids, trampoline, things like that.
-You have to have a trampoline. -Oh, yeah.
I grew up on a trampoline. It's the best thing ever.
-Yeah, we had one. -They may break something, but you know.
-It's fixable. -Exactly.
[Britnee] You know what I'm saying?
[Britnee] I chose Loaflee Lane because,
and this is what I was looking for here,
with all the country setting
and not really having many people around me.
[dog barks]
[Britnee] This is the ideal location.
My kids get dropped off right at the front door.
I don't have to, like, wait for them down the road
or anything like that.
I'll be sitting right on the porch waiting for them
to get right off the bus.
[indistinct chatter]
They had to share a room for the longest time.
So this just gives them an opportunity to kind of
give their freedom, their space that they wanted.
I bought them the trampoline that they wanted.
They have the land.
Pretty much, they can do anything they want here.
They can ride their dirt bikes and stuff that they got.
It just gives them opportunities to do more.
David, thank you for this opportunity.
Never have I thought that I'd be on TV or anything like that.
And the help that you gave me
to find the house that my kids always wanted,
I appreciate it. [chuckles]
