But even without the sale, Josh's mother still thinks he should be proud about how far he's come since high school. And we are too!

Josh reconnected with his buddy from high school -- whose parents happen to be ready to list their house.
10017236
She thinks you missed a spot.
10017241
The cannolis worked. At least it worked to bring in loads of hungry brokers.

Madison's client has a gorgeous house in Malibu but she's in a hurry to move the property.
10017251
Albert is really attached to the house, since he spent hours upon hours researching and designing every feature.
10017256
Josh heads to party with some pals from high school. Now that he's flipping houses, and not cars, he wants people to see how much he's changed.
10017261
Josh thinks Mimi and Albert's house doesn't need much of a hard sell, so he's stocking up on mood elevators and letting the listing do the work for him. More cannolis please.

The Altmans go to visit Warren and Denise at Cardio Barre, and they like what they see.
10017271
Josh and his brother decide to put a deal to the "Altman Bowl" test. The lowball offer won't be enough to make the sale, but it's a good starting point.
10017276
After catching up over dessert, the talk turns to business. Josh thinks the house is worth around $8 million. His clients disagree.
10017281
But as expected, the clients don't love the offer. But since Warren takes a chess style approach to real estate, he wants them to close the deal fast.
10017286
Not only is Madison's pooch precious -- he can do tricks too. But he's not the only one. Madison managed to make this work for his client and lease her house in time to ensure she makes her loan payments.
10017291
And then he goes the extra mile for his client -- suiting up and pumping the pee to ensure nature's creatures don't get to close.
10017296
Madison has a solution to the house's landscaping issue -- and the solution is urine. Apparently coyote pee deters hungry deer.
10017301
Madison takes a whiff. That looks to be the face of a man deterred.
10017306
Madison is going to have to work some magic to get this house sold under such a tight deadline, but he's Madison "Escrow" Hildebrand. It can be done.
10017386
His client's loans are coming due in three months so she needs Madison to sell the house pronto.

But once the group comes to a consensus, Josh is ready to list -- as long as they are willing to actually part with their home.

Post-pee, the yard is looking lush. Madison's brokers open goes off splendidly. Hopefully there was a buyer in all those visitors.
10017406
Meanwhile, Josh Flagg had some interesting folks stop into his open house. Perhaps they were lured by his free cannolis?
10017411
When it comes time to negotiate the deal, Josh pulls a fast change and snatches the phone from Matt's hand. Not cool when it comes to bro code, but it did net their clients an extra $200,000.
10017416
Josh's clients decided not to sell (they loved the house too much). But they are happy to see how much Josh has grown and changed since high school.

After negotiating with Graham, Madison gets his client something that will help tremendously with her bills -- a year's rent in advance.
