Plot Synopsis

In each half-hour episode of HOLMES: BUY IT RIGHT, Mike Holmes applies his construction expertise and creative vision to one couple's search for their dream home. With their favorite properties to choose from, Holmes gets these home buyers to use their heads -- in addition to their hearts -- and gives them the tools they need to make the most important purchase of their lives. During the process, Mike leads the homebuyers on an inspection of their top three home choices and points out the positives and negatives of each property so they can make an informed decision. Plus, Mike teaches the homebuyers a lesson or two in what to watch out for so they can stay on budget and make a smart investment. From driveways and staircases to water damage and electrical circuits, he'll arm these couples with the information they need to help negotiate a better sale price, as well as the potential expense for future repair costs before they buy. In the series opener, "Hilton Head House Hunt," Mike travels to the beautiful island of Hilton Head, South Carolina, to advise first time homebuyers Caroline and Diego Mahecha during their search for the perfect family home. With their favorites selected, Mike will go through the houses with the couple to identify issues that could be detrimental to the family and their children. Then, in the second episode, "Holmes Views St. Anthony Homes," in St. Anthony, Minnesota, Rhonda and Leo Bogee are looking for a home that's both within their budget and perfect for their four-member family. They have two growing sons and they need just the right place. Mike comes to their rescue, going through the houses, pointing out the pros and cons and ultimately teaching Rhonda and Leo how to buy with confidence and a solid plan.
