MAKE EVERY DAY A CANDIDATE. GOOD NIGHT.
Just across the bay from
Tampa, Clearwater, Florida is a gorgeous Gulf oasis
where the locals love to live it up.
There’s Moccasin Lake Nature Park,
right in town.
And if you drive just a short ways northwest you can
hike the beautiful Osprey Trail on Honeymoon Island.
And when you’re done with that rent a kayak and paddle
south to take in the natural wonders of Caladesi
Island State Park.
All of this coupled with the breathtaking white sugar
sand beaches and it’s easy to see why Clearwater’s
housing market is so competitive.
Forty-three percent of homes here sell above asking,
and on average they spend just eight days on the market.
> Come on.
Look at all these cute houses.
> But Jeff and Sara, they are not discouraged
by any of that.
They say they are ready to find their dream
home in Clearwater.
[MUSIC]
> You want to toss the ball?
> Yeah, we can try your football skills.
> [LAUGHS] We can try.
> I’m Jeff.
> And I’m Sara.
> And we’re here in Clearwater Beach looking for
our dream home.
> It spiraled [LAUGHS]. > Yeah [LAUGHS].
> I’m a beach baby.
I grew up in Florida, I lived all over all sorts of
different beaches.
And there’s something that’s magical about Clearwater.
A different energy that the beach brings.
This relaxation, this calm.
> In this phase of both our lives we’re both looking for
peace and tranquility.
> And the simple pleasures.
Holding hands, walking down the beach,
watching the sunset.
You know, these are the things that are the most
special to share with your partner.
> We’re gonna live in paradise?
> That’s the plan.
So we were both married before and have
children of our own from separate marriages.
I have one daughter, Zoey, and she is eight years old.
> So I have three children.
Kylie is my oldest.
She’s 19.
My middle guy, Drew, he’s a sophomore in high school.
And my youngest is 13.
His name is Max.
I love all three of you very much.
> And I think that as many people know there’s a lot of
struggles that go along with starting over.
But I guess we both found each other and re-instilled
that faith in that life can be magical and everything
you ever dreamed of.
I don’t think we have enough time to tell you all of the
reasons that I love Jeff.
It’s very challenging to find the heart of gold and
the passion and sensitivity that he has.
I’ve never in my life been treated so special and felt
so unbelievably loved and cared for.
I don’t know baby, life can’t get much better.
Dream home.
Dream man.
> I love you.
Sara’s amazing.
I mean actually that’s how, you know,
I refer to her as Amazing Sara.
I think a lot of families that have evolved,
right,like our situation.
I need somebody that can bring people together.
And Sara has a very special ability.
She just kind of makes it all happen and pulls it together.
Even though it took us a little while I guess to
finally meet each other, we both have our own
accomplishments that we’re bringing to the table.
It just puts us in a very, you know,
powerful position.
And I’m very thankful for that.
So what do you think?
> I think it’s paradise.
[MUSIC]
I have been in the fitness industry for,
goodness, almost 20 years now.
Leading into opening some of the,
you know, most iconic studios in Los Angeles.
Literally put sweat equity into all of the companies
that I have started.
I’ve helped people in their own yoga journeys along the way.
But I have to say my favorite yoga student is
this big guy over here [LAUGHS].
And, you know, my hope is that we’re able to bring our
two halves together and find a home where we can all
become, you know, that happy Brady Bunch family.
> Which one do you want?
Do you want that big one right there [LAUGHS]?
Growing up I had three dreams.
I wanted to be an army man, be a police officer and play
baseball for the New York Mets.
So I accomplished two out of the three so I think I’m
doing pretty good.
And no, I never played for the Mets.
So right out of high school I went straight into the military.
And when I came out of the Army three years later ended
up framing houses, working for somebody.
And then started my own construction business.
[MUSIC]
And I guess the leadership qualities,
right, that you learn in the military they really help in
how to lead my company.
And then I guess at some point during my adventure
I was overlapped being a police officer and running
my own business at the same time.
And it was a very stressful period for me.
And although I may have given up my dream job of
being a police officer I feel like we’ve helped a lot
of people over the years.
And now I finally get to enjoy being cared for.
So we hope that our dream home will help kind of unify
this new family unit that we’re looking to create.
And I think it’s also something that as the kids
get older, right, it’s a place that will keep them
coming back no matter, you know,
where their adventures take them.
So what do you think, baby?
If you’re ready to go then let’s go find our dream home.
> Yeah? > Yeah.
> All right. > Let’s do it.
> I’m action Jackson [LAUGHS].
So I’m ready to go like right now.
Baby.
Come on, let’s go.
> Slow down, action Jackson [LAUGHS].
Looking for a dream home of course there’s
always a budget.
So a range I think for our search is probably in the
one and a half to two and a half million dollar range.
> This is Treasure Island, this whole area here.
Since I was a kid it’s like come a long way.
It’s definitely becoming like a more like cool
place to live.
[MUSIC]
Oh. It’s right here.
Wow.
Cute.
I like all the palm trees.
It’s definitely got some curb appeal.
> Want to go take a look?
> Yeah.
Ooh.
Baby.
The dining room’s a nice size.
It’s open.
We could even have a larger table to fit all the kids.
> This is nice.
> Oh, that’s nice.
Hard not to...
we’ll come back to you, den.
It’s hard not to come right out here, right?
> I like how open everything is.
> Yeah, the open concept definitely feels nice.
All right, let’s see.
What’s off of here?
We’ve got one bedroom.
Kind of small.
[LAUGHS] What size bed is this?
> I think it’s a cot.
It might be a cot.
> But it is nice, it has its own bathroom.
> Yeah.
> And have...
> I think it’s a great size for Kylie.
I think especially with the separate entrance.
> Yes.
That is great.
> So. > That is totally.
> She’ll probably keep it locked so nobody else can
use the bathroom.
> [LAUGHS] She would, yeah.
Okay.
This one seems definitely bigger than the other one.
So then this should be the boys’ room.
And then the bathroom is en suite,
which definitely is very nice for them.
They don’t even have to leave their little cave
[LAUGHS].
Oh and closets.
You don’t think the boys will mind if I occupy some
of their closet, right?
Closets are always a plus, sure.
I’m a girl.
I think most girls would agree.
> So I can live out of a duffel bag,
so I mean I would prefer to have a drawer, but.
> Yeah.
A couple of drawers.
> All right, now I want to see what’s upstairs.
I hope it’s a big master suite.
What do you think it’s gonna be?
> Oh.
> Babe.
Ahhh!
This is where we’re gonna have our coffee.
Wow.
