Ever spent thousands on a “luxury” bathroom upgrade… only to hate it eight showers later? In this laugh-out-loud episode of Coffee With Real Estate, Susan and Kurt spill the tea on the five trendy bathroom features that sound amazing in the showroom but drive homeowners crazy in real life.
We’re talking rain shower heads with pathetic water pressure (goodbye shampoo rinse-off), wall-mounted faucets that splash everywhere, complicated linear drains that need a special key to clean (and collect triple the hair), mildew-loving recessed niches, and fancy decorative mirrors that de-silver in the steam. Yes, even the pretty stuff can be a practical nightmare!
Susan, a seasoned real estate flipper, reveals what buyers actually want (spoiler: big spacious showers and double sinks win, giant tubs and carpeted bathrooms lose), and shares her go-to materials that look luxe without the regret. Plus, Kurt confesses to illegally removing water restrictors for that glorious high-pressure blast we all secretly crave.
Then we pivot to the surprise fun topic: Goodwill and thrift stores are having a major glow-up! Bigger, brighter locations in affluent neighborhoods, Gen Z flocking in for sustainable fashion, and mind-blowing finds like a custom tuxedo for $15 are making secondhand the hottest trend in retail real estate. Are thrift stores the new luxury shopping destination? We debate pro vs. con and share our best treasure-hunting tips.
Whether you’re remodeling your bathroom, flipping a house, or just love a good bargain story, this episode is packed with honest advice, hilarious banter, and money-saving truths you won’t hear from designers trying to upsell you a $500 trickle-shower.
Perfect for homeowners, investors, and anyone who’s ever stepped on a linear drain barefoot and regretted every life choice.
