The Deed: Chicago

Chicago real estate mogul Sean Conlon lends his capital and mentorship to novice property flippers struggling to pull troubled projects back into the black. In this series premiere, Sean partners with Berta, a real estate broker who started flipping condos on the side.

Sean teams up with Mark and Bryan, two best friends who built a business based on quick and easy flips. But now they’ve run into a problem. They bought the wrong house at auction and it’s much bigger and in much worse condition than they planned for. Will Sean be able to prevent this one mistake from bringing down the duo’s whole business?

Sean teams up with Larry and Chantill, a couple from Chicago’s South Side who see real estate as their ticket to success. Their latest flip was supposed to be a major moneymaker, but they put their trust in the wrong people and are now in dire straits.

Sean meets Kai and Bernette, a duo whose reckless house-buying spree has left them cash-strapped.
