ANYONE WHO SEEN THIS FULL EPISODE AND SEEN LUTHER, IF U EVER SEE THAT MAN ON THE STREET YOU BUY THAT GUY LUNCH!!! HE IS THE NICEST KID IVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE! I WISH I HAD THAT CALM COOL DEMEANER.
Yes, they're such great guys. They used the tragic circumstances of a mentally-ill old woman to get a mansion for a song and have it cleaned out for free.
I saw that episode and was in complete amazement at the sheer generosity, emotion, fear, and love for humanity these wonderful, fabulous, caring gentleman had for this woman. They had such respect and understanding for her. This doesn't happen much in the World that we live in today. I've been in the same situation, I lost my father and had to move after nearly fourty year's. I'm not a hoarder but we had accumulated so much over the years and believe me, no one cares. They would have put my belongings on the street. These guys give me hope in humanity. I would love to have the opportunity to tell them that they did all they could and then some. They even cried for her. I would like to say thank you to everyone that went out of their way for her. It gives me hope.
You are absolutely right! It was the saddest episode I've ever seen! When I saw that couple break down in tears, I can't even lie...... I almost did the same! Just sad......
@@margaretwardlow5500 wow... I hope u never have to count on anyone to show you mercy... Life has many twist and turns..... You never know... One day, you may find yourself, needing the same companion, shown to you... Think about that.
Tracey Tabor Banks, Besides, Doctor Robin Zasio is a personal friend of mine who I know from Sacramento, Ca. And Sandra had her in tears! Never saw Robin so frustrated, EVER! She’s a very strong woman who was pushed into having to deal with a most impossible situation! Sandra was entirely to blame for this!
Margaret Wardlow if you know her and watched the episode then you would see that she at least knew that her diagnosis was extremely severe and that she felt bad for her because of how bad it had gotten. She knew that as a doctor she would have had to spend a lot longer time with her as a patient that she just couldn’t provide in that short time frame. She cried towards the end because she did feel so bad for her. Mental Illness is real whether you like it or not.
Don’t watch this episode unless you are prepared to feel gutted. The old woman is crazy as all get out, but watching everything go into the trash because of her obstinacy was horrible. She is a master manipulator and also is suffering hugely as her fantasy world crumbles.
I'm watching this episode now and I'm getting so frustrated watching it because she has no legal right to even be on the property. So many people enabled her and were intimidated by her. She needs mental health help seriously. She's going to have a breakdown whether you're nice or mean and someone needs to step up to the plate and take control. They were waaay too nice to her. Tough love is needed. When dealing with my dad who is a hoarder, I put most of his tools online to sell, ordered a dumpster and removed a lot of stuff all by myself. Also, I called the junk people to come get the rest all while my dad cursed me out. Two years later he thanked me and realized what a hole he was in.
I am so so impressed with the patience of the young guy that's her neighbor. The couple that bought the house. This episode literally have me faith in humanity. Literally just wow. Thank you. So sad. But so beautiful around the edges.
This was, of all the shows I've over the years watched, one of the most evocative episodes of the series. Her illness was so pervasive! The situation one of the saddest. And unique, with new owners of the home (and hoard) being involved in the process. Michael and Eric were such sweethearts! What generosity of spirit. The people who helped Sandra that final morning, they too were kind and selfless. Well, there was that one man who stormed off but I get that he was not going to tolerate Sandra's treatment. Understandably.
I think the hardest part to watch is that somewhere in there, Sandra is still working her legal angles to keep the property. On one hand, she's accepting the new owners' kindness and on the other hand, she's still trying to put legal roadblocks in front of them to keep their house away from them. On one hand, she's accepting help from Hoarders for on-the-spot therapy and to clean out the house but on the other hand, she has no real intention of leaving. There's a sense of entitlement in there...and it seems like it's been there her whole life since her brothers (all THREE grown men) can't even figure out how to stand up to her and get power of attorney if necessary. It wouldn't have been that hard to prove that was mentally incapable of handling business dealings with a few inspections and pictures of what she did to a formerly beautiful property, the conditions she was living in, and the dangers inside the house.
I was so frustrated with Sandra and emotional. I barely made it to the end of the episode. I don't understand hoarders and I am not gonna pretend to know. I'm a minimalist for a reason. Even my car has nothing in it.
This is probably my favorite episode of Hoarders. What a magnificent restoration job Michael and Eric ended up doing with the house. I would love to see a follow-up with Sandra.
That lady did nothing but try to work at her way and make everybody think that they will do it her way. That's a situation where you need to remove that person because she is no longer the owner of that property she has been given ample time and was given chances by to gentleman to get things secured for her for some living and instead she yell at people she completely did the opposite and in my opinion she needed help far more than what they could have done
Those guys definitely had more patience for her than I would’ve had. Kudos to them for being kind enough to let her sell those things but they let her stick around entirely too long. I would have had the sheriff remove her as she was inhibiting the cleanup crew from doing their job
I just sat and watched the entire show for an hour and half on AE... this is the only episode I wish there was a follow up on..the guys where so kind, and tried to help her, both distraught over her ending... lots of tears, wondering how this woman is doing now?
This episode is frustrating to watch Sandra getting second chances from everybody on this episode with her being a victim ... Those volunteers are enabling her hoarding to continue. A&E should do episodes of hoarders refusing help and let code enforcements kick them off the property . See all there junk getting throwing in dumpster...
I know Sandra was pretty rotten but we need to start acting more like Eric and Michael and show some humanity. We all need to stop lowering ourselves because of emotions from other people’s bad behavior.
They all just pitch in and enable her in the end? She’s singing a tune as she drives away? Those guys are gonna give that house a new life that she never could!
This episode of set me the most. I would have cleared out everything in the house and never asked her anything. Because she has had years to get this situation situated.
Eric and Michael were such genuinely compassionate people. And boy did Sandra test that compassion. I get that some of it's mental illness, but I guarantee you some of it definitely isn't. I've met people like her in my life, people who are just sweet as pie... Until you say something they don't want to hear, or refuse to do something they want you to do, and then they become absolutely venomous. They've learned that if they can't get what they want from you with honey, they will bully you into submission.
I just watched this and I appreciate how wonderful everyone was, and how supportive. If it had been me, I would have said, load up the trucks and take it to some acreage I have. She is one of the most disagreeable, and ungrateful people I have ever seen. Just evict her and set her up in assisted living. And have her van towed. She's manipulated enough people for enough years. I realize it's a sickness, and that's why I am not in a 'care-taker' position.
C Swank 😊 or she could move to Toronto, Canada , here hoarders are seen as Mentally ill, & they r protected. They RUIN a property, & the landlord is left with the bill. Yep, Toronto is a hoarders paradise.
C Swank 😉 i live beside a hoarder/used dirty takeout food container collector, & she is registered with the authorities, if anyone calls to complain, they r told "she is ill, she cannot b corrected in any way, that would b discrimination". Pretty Sweet set up eh? 😊
I saw the whole episode. I don’t know what happened to her in her life but somewhere along the path of life she decided that buying or storing everything she could in life was what mattered.... and in the 1980s there was a ton of buying. Even now, when I myself get an urge to buy even a new pair of socks, I stop and think about this lady. She is exactly what I never want to be.
Why do you even bother to try and negotiate with this woman? Just take her away for a few days, then get rid of the lot. These hoarders are too ill to make rational decisions.
I felt the same way but we are both wrong for thinking that way. We shouldn’t lower ourselves because of our emotions and start being better humans like Eric and Michael. How we treat others is what matters the most in this life. Think about it!!
That's a rediculious statement. Sandra was not the victor she did everything her sickness told her to do. It's a SICKNESS all hoarder share the same symptons.
Those two gentlemen were way nicer than most people would have been don't feel regret for anything that u did because u were so sweet and kind to offer the help u did
The tail is wagging the dog here. How could that many adults be pushed around by one very old lady ? All that bending over backwards to ease her pain, it made it scary. I thought they all were trying to give her a stroke. The outcome was preset. I can't imagine working in a nursing home, where they have to deal with mental illness daily.
I agree. I know everyone's heart was in the right place but the truly humane thing would've been to minimize her suffering asap. Legally remove her from the property, and dispose of everything as the owners see fit - no involvement by the old lady whatsoever. If they still want to give her the money from auction proceeds, fine. Remember, they not only bought the house, but all the contents. Everyone involved knew she had no way to store anything, so allowing her to pick thru and create that mess on the street, was asinine. It made a great tv show but honestly, this way was much more cruel. I also agree that her running all those people around was disturbing.
Jane Doe that would have definitely given her a heart attack and then none of them could have lived with themselves if that had happened. I know I couldn't. Even if she's a mean ungrateful old lady.
@@JaneDoe-zr4px I said the exact same thing about removing her from the property from the start. But. A&E wouldn't be able to push an old rich lady with 9000 sq ft house full of stuff to her breaking point for ratings. Cruel and unusual punishment. Shame on you A&E! I won't be coming back. And leave Trump out of it.
Actually I think they were trying to put her through the process and help her move on from hoarding with the help of after care. I agree that it probably would have been easier for her to be removed and given the money but what would she have learned? That someone is always going to bail her out even if she starts hoarding all over again?
Y'all. This episode I literally have no words. I'm angry at her but at the same time I hurt for her and I don't even know her. I know what it's like to loose everything you've ever worked for but....like they said she had chance after chance after chance.
I didn’t feel sorry for Sandra in the slightest. The people I felt sorry for were the good people that tried time and time again to help her and she just continuously took advantage of them. She may be sick in the hoarding capacity, but beyond that, she knew EXACTLY what she was doing anyway. It’s kinda hard to have compassion for someone who goes out of their way to mistreat those around her trying to help her out anyway 🤷♀️. I would have had her leave the minute she started causing any kind of trouble and then mailed her a check for the things they were able to sell at auction. She would have been one less headache that I would have had to deal with on top of everything else anyway 🙄😒
Same she would’ve left as soon I would’ve seen she was playing and didn’t want to participate and had nerve to say she was going back in litigation with the new owners
Never in my life have I've seen someone so ungrateful. That kid Luther has a golden heart. I would love to know how the house came along with the new owners.
Sorry no I don’t feel sorry for her, she had years to deal with it, fought and nail over garbage, took kindness of people willing to help including the new owners for granted, and ruined a beautiful historic house. I would have had her removed from the property and mailed her a check to her brothers house and let them deal with her.
If you've watched the full episode, that is the perfect example of how dealing with an unreasonable individual goes. Reason, logic and empathy DON'T WORK, period! The only thing that works when dealing with such an individual is wielding unbending authority and not going into discussion with them. Discussing doesn't work, dialogue doesn't work. If one party refuses to accept reality, conversation can't happen. The only thing you can hope for is that when the time comes for you to have to deal with an unreasonable individual, that you too have the power and authority to forcibly take action. If you don't; you better wash your hands of it and don't even engage with them. Her ex-husband was a very very smart man; apart form letting it get that far in the first place. He didn't have the authority and power and when he realised that, he removed himself from the toxic situation. Conclusion: the outcome will always be the same when dealing with unreasonable people: A) You keep trying dialogue and reason ... and they keep dragging it all out until they've worn you down and gotten what they want. B) You want to go past dialogue but don't have the power nor the authority. Only one thing remains ... ignore and abandon the situation completely. C) You have the authority and power to take action on your terms and after basic curtsies fail, you use that superior position to solve the issue forcefully. D) You have the authority and power and yet don't use it. You're now part of the problem and are actively contributing to prolonging the toxic situation which does no good to anyone. That's it. There is no fantasy ending where a "good talk" solves it all. Shaking hands and make up; a pipedream. The only reason why this situation with Sandra got dragged out, harming everyone including Sandra herself in the process, is that they never put their foot down and executed their threats. They just kept and kept on treating her as a sane person who's opinion still holds value in the matter at hand.
I think this episode was the saddest one I've seen...She had 41 years of her life in that house... She has nothing else..She was trying to hold to the last of her life.. She clearly at 1 point was a smart business person..And 1turn in life can really mess your head up..
Anyone cringe when she yelled for her crew members names like she was calling pigs "suey!" And then again I cringed when she yelled at this older black gentleman and said "YOU NEED TO LISTEN!' And he was so disturbed he quit and walked off. Respectfully so. I hope that all the people that tried to help her got paid by her in some way but I highly doubt it. I felt for everyone. Even Matt the hoarder expert lost his cool in the episode and freaked out on her that Dr zazio started crying she had to remind him she has an illness. This episode was so mind boggling
At the end of the episode it said she earned $14,000 at auction for the good things she had. Problem is a lot of stuff was collected by the city unsorted and then trashed. The same thing seemed to happen after she drove away from the property for the last time, i.e. more stuff from the house was just trashed because the artificial deadline was up. She probably could have made another $30,000 if the a few more days were given to this operation. But to be clear, I do not support hoarding.
sad too that she had 5yrs to start her move out process. She could have made ton of cash had she been able to accept her fate. That couple was so nice and patient with her. Too bad the action company had not been called sooner.
she oculd have made more! the house itself was filled with treasures. but then when you look at it logically, its just items you put a price on...its better for that lady tospend the money on more deserving things like care for herself.
COURTNEYS AUNT SARA well in all fairness she spent alot of time fighting for her rights to keep the property. Everyones mad because they say she "took advantage" of the system. In reality the new owners bought the property knowing full well she was a squatter and hoarding BEFORE they bought the house. She still had a court date REGARDLESS what the lawyer said and in reality even if she was going to lose the house; she could have been selling her stuff until that date. As much as we see that she is a hoarder it is still her stuff since she still has a court date due. In another perspective the new owners are responsible for her property as in the agreement they signed. Blaming her for having her stuff on the curb is wrong. They should have just kept selling her stuff until the court date. Dont blame her. Blame the new owners who knew full well what they were buying. If it was me, I'd help her sell her stuff and let her live in the mansion.
@@willshine3963 you are incorrect on bunch of things here. Michael and Eric (the new owners) became legal owners of the house and hoard the moment they filed their deed, therefore Sandra's court date (if there was an actual court date) would be a moot point because she no longer had a legal interest in the property since in no longer belonged to her. Sanda fibbed/flat out lied about having warehouses on hold or being in negotiations for warehouses so I seriously doubt she had an actual court date. Plus according to her brother, her basis for fighting the foreclosure was completely incorrect to begin with. The federal government's bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac didn't pay off her mortgages making her balance zero, which is what she believed. Because she was able to claim pauper status she received a ton of postponements/extensions resulting in the 3 yr fight before she was foreclosured on, including her belongings she left in/on the property. So, the new owners did everything right and showed Sandra more patience and kindness then she would have received from anyone else so your criticism of them is quite unfair.
This was sad. It was one of the first episodes that really made me look at hoarding as a mental illness. For this woman to lose her home and not face the reality of what she caused is very sad. In the end she lost everything, her home that she loved so much and all of her belongings. So sad 😢
I've seen many people lose their homes for non payment. In my state it can take up to a year to get them out. Some people are not in the position to sell their homes. They just owe more than what they are worth. Others should have sold it and taken the little money they could get out of it.
This was handled poorly by the “professionals”. A good plan and clear instructions would have made all the difference. The gentlemen that bought the mansion made a valiant effort.
this was the saddest episode I ever seen she stayed in that house I believe 50 years she should of been gone and down sized it was sad she lost mostly everything I actually teared up... Because I knew someone who was a hoarder 😢😱😔😑 it's hard to believe it till you actually seen living proof of it
The first thing that should have been done after the tv crew left was to replace the roof. If I lived there I’d help those dudes out for free the house is like a work of art
This episode left me quite depressed. What a horrible situation for all the people involved. I understand perfectly well that hoarding is a mental condition... however, in this particular case, I wonder if the woman couldn't have been taken to another place after the agreement of auctioning the salvageable stuff and giving her the money. Since she wasn't the owner any longer, this could have relaxed and eased all the job. It was obvious things were to get do hard if she was in the middle. She showed her temper right from the start.
Just watched this episode in my country. So sad. And yet these new owners were beyond amazing! I tend to think that hoarding is either incurable or that the science simply doesn't know how to handle it yet. These cases are tragedies! (I speak from experience, my late father was a hoarder).
There was an episode of an older man who lived in Arizona who showed signs of dementia and the psychologist had him removed from the process and off his property. No cops, judge, or legal route was taken. I'm sorry but Mike had no spine whatsoever in having the deputy remove Sandra off the couples property after being lied and manipulated by her several times.
I WANT TO SEE MORE OF THIS HORDERS EPISODES....I DON'T KNOW WHY? IT IS JUST HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE CAN LIVE THIS WAY.... THIS IS TERRIBLE....I THINK I HAVE TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT....THE WORSE THE BETTER....OH LORD....
They do meet with the people before the cleanup. The one lady though that lost her daughter who was suicidal she got months of counseling before the clean up
Michael and Eric are beautiful people. To see Eric so emotional was hard to watch. They are very empathetic people. May Hashem bless always. Shalom. I will always keep you in my prayers.
I think in reality in the same situation, except no show taping, the new owners would have had her removed when she sat her chair in the path of the workers insisting she see everything. They put up with her narcissistic shenanigans because they needed all the drama for the hoarders show. The good thing is this episode did show that hoarders who cannot, will not change and refuse help have a dire consequence and outcome. I know the show is about the psychology behind hoarding and steps to improve with help but there should be at least a few more shows of the consequences when you've taken every opportunity and snubbed your nose at it. I watch this episode over and over. Another favorite was Laura season 7 episode 10 because the abused mate finally stood up for themselves and kicked the abusing hoarder out EXCEPT apparently the dude was on Dr Phil 2 years later in the same predicament! Grow a pair buddy!!
I know you’re reply is a year old but I wanted to answer! Apparently they are doing a 2nd horders episode on this house with the new owners. And they mentioned that Sandra still lives in the area but won’t comment on her further. So she’s alive and ‘well’ but ended up foreclosing on the mansion.
This episode hit different to other episodes. She strikes me as a narcissist which probably overlaps with the hoarding. This is the end result. 40 years of possessions loaded up in dumpsters and living in van, rumor is she died in 2020. Really made me think about capitalism and consumerism and the system as a whole, mental illness and Healthcare. She had it all -a business, a mansion and ended up where? For what?
The cleaning guy is rude and just plain mean to that poor woman he needs punched in the face the guys who bought the house are kind and understanding the head cleaning dude karma will get you. That’s someone Mom/Grandma what if it was urs??? Js… This is sad.
This lady don't realize that you cant take that material stuff to the grave. She is so prideful and stubborn. When she passes away, her spirit is is going to haunt that house.
the two young sharks kicked the old woman out of her home. couldn't they pick another place to stay? or couldn't they give her at least one or two rooms out of the hundreds in the castle? how is it possible to have your house stolen like that?! this is outrageous and she behaved too well.
Cau the bank took it cause she didn't make any payments on the mortgage and she thought she could keep working out deals with them but no if you don't pay they take it and sell it and there nothing you can do at that point unless you can pay the full payment to pay them off that just how it is for for everyone when you deal with a bank

They are all difficult lol
No she wasn’t. Tim the abuser was, that old guy from California whose hoarding drove his wife into catatonia.

C Swank 😊 or she could move to Toronto, Canada , here hoarders are seen as Mentally ill, & they r protected. They RUIN a property, & the landlord is left with the bill.
Yep, Toronto is a hoarders paradise.
C Swank 😉 i live beside a hoarder/used dirty takeout food container collector, & she is registered with the authorities, if anyone calls to complain, they r told "she is ill, she cannot b corrected in any way, that would b discrimination". Pretty Sweet set up eh? 😊
Couldn’t agree more! She was a tiger that needed taming after a tranquilizer dart to the forehead!
Can’t help but wonder how Sandra went from successful business person to the person we see on this episode
Just life. Loneliness.
It is explained in the episode.
the saddest episode to date
I saw the whole episode. I don’t know what happened to her in her life but somewhere along the path of life she decided that buying or storing everything she could in life was what mattered.... and in the 1980s there was a ton of buying. Even now, when I myself get an urge to buy even a new pair of socks, I stop and think about this lady. She is exactly what I never want to be.
Her husband
Why do you even bother to try and negotiate with this woman? Just take her away for a few days, then get rid of the lot. These hoarders are too ill to make rational decisions.
She was disgusting....and she was a mean old bat. I wouldn't have even involved her in the cleanup. There is no negotiating with a hoarder.
Because they are mentally ill.
I felt the same way but we are both wrong for thinking that way. We shouldn’t lower ourselves because of our emotions and start being better humans like Eric and Michael. How we treat others is what matters the most in this life. Think about it!!
Bullcrap that garbage man just made a fortune off her.
The couple the new owners of this home they are angels they are angels nothing but angels❤👍
Well they did target a persons home for years even before the forclosure. Just saying.
House had been in foreclosure for years! Eric and Michael bought it and were kind enough to give her a chance .
This episode makes me want to frantically get rid of some things!
I just re-watched this episode again and Sandra was another level. Seriously anyone who dealt with her likely needed therapy
And so did her therapist!
Sandra played each and everyone of them including the psychologist. She came out the winner.
She did manipulate them, but I don’t see how see ended up a winner really. She got to keep 1-2 truckloads of two rooms and 50 years of her life.
Not exactly
She lives in her car in a friend's yard. That is not winning.
That's a rediculious statement. Sandra was not the victor she did everything her sickness told her to do. It's a SICKNESS all hoarder share the same symptons.
@Babyhowdy233 Fighting to stay in a home that you can't afford to live in doesn't exactly sound like heroic behavior...
Luther is FINE
Moe Towne ..... Which guy is Luther ?
Andrea Murphy darkskin one
He was 😅
One of the saddest episodes I’ve seen lately 💔
Omg guys are beyond lovely
Sandra was always one of my favorite episodes. She is just insane all the way until the end. She has storage sheds dammit!
Those two gentlemen were way nicer than most people would have been don't feel regret for anything that u did because u were so sweet and kind to offer the help u did
The tail is wagging the dog here. How could that many adults be pushed around by one very old lady ? All that bending over backwards to ease her pain, it made it scary. I thought they all were trying to give her a stroke. The outcome was preset. I can't imagine working in a nursing home, where they have to deal with mental illness daily.
I agree. I know everyone's heart was in the right place but the truly humane thing would've been to minimize her suffering asap. Legally remove her from the property, and dispose of everything as the owners see fit - no involvement by the old lady whatsoever. If they still want to give her the money from auction proceeds, fine. Remember, they not only bought the house, but all the contents. Everyone involved knew she had no way to store anything, so allowing her to pick thru and create that mess on the street, was asinine. It made a great tv show but honestly, this way was much more cruel. I also agree that her running all those people around was disturbing.
Jane Doe that would have definitely given her a heart attack and then none of them could have lived with themselves if that had happened. I know I couldn't. Even if she's a mean ungrateful old lady.
@@JaneDoe-zr4px I said the exact same thing about removing her from the property from the start. But. A&E wouldn't be able to push an old rich lady with 9000 sq ft house full of stuff to her breaking point for ratings. Cruel and unusual punishment. Shame on you A&E! I won't be coming back. And leave Trump out of it.
Actually I think they were trying to put her through the process and help her move on from hoarding with the help of after care. I agree that it probably would have been easier for her to be removed and given the money but what would she have learned? That someone is always going to bail her out even if she starts hoarding all over again?
@@JaneDoe-zr4pxYours is the best comment. Totally agree with what you said.
So after all of this and agreeing to, she spends all night pulling things out of the dumpster and then lieing about it.
Y'all. This episode I literally have no words. I'm angry at her but at the same time I hurt for her and I don't even know her. I know what it's like to loose everything you've ever worked for but....like they said she had chance after chance after chance.
I didn’t feel sorry for Sandra in the slightest. The people I felt sorry for were the good people that tried time and time again to help her and she just continuously took advantage of them. She may be sick in the hoarding capacity, but beyond that, she knew EXACTLY what she was doing anyway. It’s kinda hard to have compassion for someone who goes out of their way to mistreat those around her trying to help her out anyway 🤷♀️. I would have had her leave the minute she started causing any kind of trouble and then mailed her a check for the things they were able to sell at auction. She would have been one less headache that I would have had to deal with on top of everything else anyway 🙄😒
That's not how the process works. They're trying to get her not to do this again.
toyoscio ...if you saw the episode, then you know how well that worked out for them anyway 👀😳🙄😒🤷♀️🤦♀️
Yeah, one way or another, Sandra chose to be terrible
Same she would’ve left as soon I would’ve seen she was playing and didn’t want to participate and had nerve to say she was going back in litigation with the new owners
I would’ve had police escort her off my property
Never in my life have I've seen someone so ungrateful. That kid Luther has a golden heart. I would love to know how the house came along with the new owners.
One of the best episodes
Sorry no I don’t feel sorry for her, she had years to deal with it, fought and nail over garbage, took kindness of people willing to help including the new owners for granted, and ruined a beautiful historic house. I would have had her removed from the property and mailed her a check to her brothers house and let them deal with her.
What’s funny is she thought the owners were trying to manipulate her somehow
I totally agree
If you've watched the full episode, that is the perfect example of how dealing with an unreasonable individual goes.
Reason, logic and empathy DON'T WORK, period!
The only thing that works when dealing with such an individual is wielding unbending authority and not going into discussion with them.
Discussing doesn't work, dialogue doesn't work.
If one party refuses to accept reality, conversation can't happen.
The only thing you can hope for is that when the time comes for you to have to deal with an unreasonable individual, that you too have the power and authority to forcibly take action.
If you don't; you better wash your hands of it and don't even engage with them.
Her ex-husband was a very very smart man; apart form letting it get that far in the first place. He didn't have the authority and power and when he realised that, he removed himself from the toxic situation.
Conclusion: the outcome will always be the same when dealing with unreasonable people:
A) You keep trying dialogue and reason ... and they keep dragging it all out until they've worn you down and gotten what they want.
B) You want to go past dialogue but don't have the power nor the authority. Only one thing remains ... ignore and abandon the situation completely.
C) You have the authority and power to take action on your terms and after basic curtsies fail, you use that superior position to solve the issue forcefully.
D) You have the authority and power and yet don't use it. You're now part of the problem and are actively contributing to prolonging the toxic situation which does no good to anyone.
That's it.
There is no fantasy ending where a "good talk" solves it all.
Shaking hands and make up; a pipedream.
The only reason why this situation with Sandra got dragged out, harming everyone including Sandra herself in the process, is that they never put their foot down and executed their threats.
They just kept and kept on treating her as a sane person who's opinion still holds value in the matter at hand.
Yeah,they failed because they weren't assertive
I think this episode was the saddest one I've seen...She had 41 years of her life in that house... She has nothing else..She was trying to hold to the last of her life.. She clearly at 1 point was a smart business person..And 1turn in life can really mess your head up..
I saw episode, Venedik make me cry, you have good hearts boy. Its not your fault!! Best wishes
Anyone cringe when she yelled for her crew members names like she was calling pigs "suey!"
And then again I cringed when she yelled at this older black gentleman and said "YOU NEED TO LISTEN!' And he was so disturbed he quit and walked off. Respectfully so. I hope that all the people that tried to help her got paid by her in some way but I highly doubt it. I felt for everyone. Even Matt the hoarder expert lost his cool in the episode and freaked out on her that Dr zazio started crying she had to remind him she has an illness. This episode was so mind boggling
Those guys are saints. I wouldn't have had her there.
At the end of the episode it said she earned $14,000 at auction for the good things she had. Problem is a lot of stuff was collected by the city unsorted and then trashed. The same thing seemed to happen after she drove away from the property for the last time, i.e. more stuff from the house was just trashed because the artificial deadline was up. She probably could have made another $30,000 if the a few more days were given to this operation. But to be clear, I do not support hoarding.
sad too that she had 5yrs to start her move out process. She could have made ton of cash had she been able to accept her fate. That couple was so nice and patient with her. Too bad the action company had not been called sooner.
she oculd have made more! the house itself was filled with treasures. but then when you look at it logically, its just items you put a price on...its better for that lady tospend the money on more deserving things like care for herself.
COURTNEYS AUNT SARA well in all fairness she spent alot of time fighting for her rights to keep the property. Everyones mad because they say she "took advantage" of the system. In reality the new owners bought the property knowing full well she was a squatter and hoarding BEFORE they bought the house. She still had a court date REGARDLESS what the lawyer said and in reality even if she was going to lose the house; she could have been selling her stuff until that date. As much as we see that she is a hoarder it is still her stuff since she still has a court date due. In another perspective the new owners are responsible for her property as in the agreement they signed. Blaming her for having her stuff on the curb is wrong. They should have just kept selling her stuff until the court date. Dont blame her. Blame the new owners who knew full well what they were buying. If it was me, I'd help her sell her stuff and let her live in the mansion.
@@willshine3963 you are incorrect on bunch of things here. Michael and Eric (the new owners) became legal owners of the house and hoard the moment they filed their deed, therefore Sandra's court date (if there was an actual court date) would be a moot point because she no longer had a legal interest in the property since in no longer belonged to her. Sanda fibbed/flat out lied about having warehouses on hold or being in negotiations for warehouses so I seriously doubt she had an actual court date. Plus according to her brother, her basis for fighting the foreclosure was completely incorrect to begin with. The federal government's bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac didn't pay off her mortgages making her balance zero, which is what she believed. Because she was able to claim pauper status she received a ton of postponements/extensions resulting in the 3 yr fight before she was foreclosured on, including her belongings she left in/on the property. So, the new owners did everything right and showed Sandra more patience and kindness then she would have received from anyone else so your criticism of them is quite unfair.
Where did this episode go? the full episode got pulled or something? I cant find it anywhere.
LOL
Wow those two guys are amazing sad but some.people you can't help
I hope Sandra is doing better now. I'm curious how old she is, since she lived in that house for 41 years, I'm thinking around 70.
This was sad. It was one of the first episodes that really made me look at hoarding as a mental illness. For this woman to lose her home and not face the reality of what she caused is very sad. In the end she lost everything, her home that she loved so much and all of her belongings. So sad 😢
I've seen many people lose their homes for non payment. In my state it can take up to a year to get them out. Some people are not in the position to sell their homes. They just owe more than what they are worth. Others should have sold it and taken the little money they could get out of it.
It would have been kinder to remove her from the property and clear the house quickly rather than indirectly enabling her to continue to hoard.
That's not how the process works. They try to break the hoarder of the need to hoard.
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR ALMOST A YEAR!! WOOHOO!
It is addiction, plain and simple.
I played in this house before she got it.
This was handled poorly by the “professionals”. A good plan and clear instructions would have made all the difference. The gentlemen that bought the mansion made a valiant effort.
algio911 yeah they played it up for the show. I found the owners way more calm genuine and sincere.
Why did they take the full episode down 😭😭😭😭
i want to see the house renovated... i think with sandra's stubborness she will beliving on the street homeless... too sad
luvlvnlife look on Facebook , the house has a page
i want to see the old house collapsing on those two sharks who have stolen it.
Also this is greensboro
@@globalmuffin2 didn't steal it
@@globalmuffin2 They did not steal it. They purchased from a bank.
Update the house is about done and will be open to he public soon look up when Sandra died in the begining of April thats what i heard
Wheres the full episode it was available awhile ago
this was the saddest episode I ever seen she stayed in that house I believe 50 years she should of been gone and down sized it was sad she lost mostly everything I actually teared up... Because I knew someone who was a hoarder 😢😱😔😑 it's hard to believe it till you actually seen living proof of it
The first thing that should have been done after the tv crew left was to replace the roof. If I lived there I’d help those dudes out for free the house is like a work of art
where i can see full episode online?
I'll put something together for you
Revelation of LIfe .... I would love to see entire show. I do not have cable.
This episode left me quite depressed. What a horrible situation for all the people involved. I understand perfectly well that hoarding is a mental condition... however, in this particular case, I wonder if the woman couldn't have been taken to another place after the agreement of auctioning the salvageable stuff and giving her the money. Since she wasn't the owner any longer, this could have relaxed and eased all the job. It was obvious things were to get do hard if she was in the middle. She showed her temper right from the start.
Sandra was a hoot, here.
Just watched this episode in my country. So sad. And yet these new owners were beyond amazing!
I tend to think that hoarding is either incurable or that the science simply doesn't know how to handle it yet.
These cases are tragedies! (I speak from experience, my late father was a hoarder).
Anything is possible and curable. God is really truly good always.
There was an episode of an older man who lived in Arizona who showed signs of dementia and the psychologist had him removed from the process and off his property. No cops, judge, or legal route was taken. I'm sorry but Mike had no spine whatsoever in having the deputy remove Sandra off the couples property after being lied and manipulated by her several times.
Where is the updated.
I WANT TO SEE MORE OF THIS HORDERS EPISODES....I DON'T KNOW WHY? IT IS JUST HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE CAN LIVE THIS WAY.... THIS IS TERRIBLE....I THINK I HAVE TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT....THE WORSE THE BETTER....OH LORD....
Joe W watched the whole episode last week! This was to me one of the worst cases of mental illness ! She fought to the very end!!!
No worries I will post a video for you so you can see some of what really happen
I think that if you have a disorder you should recieve counseling before they do the cleanup, but I understand that’s not how the remains interesting.
Lol
They do meet with the people before the cleanup. The one lady though that lost her daughter who was suicidal she got months of counseling before the clean up
my biggest flex is actually going there and meeting the redhead guy.
why did yall pull the full episode, you used to have it up on YT? Guess you gotta keep the money coming in by paywalling it on your site
You can go on the AE website and watch it
Shes literally chris farley......
SHE LIVES IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER SAD
No river in her town
Sad to make light of peoples suffering.
How did they make their money?
Michael and Eric are beautiful people. To see Eric so emotional was hard to watch. They are very empathetic people. May Hashem bless always. Shalom. I will always keep you in my prayers.
I think in reality in the same situation, except no show taping, the new owners would have had her removed when she sat her chair in the path of the workers insisting she see everything. They put up with her narcissistic shenanigans because they needed all the drama for the hoarders show. The good thing is this episode did show that hoarders who cannot, will not change and refuse help have a dire consequence and outcome. I know the show is about the psychology behind hoarding and steps to improve with help but there should be at least a few more shows of the consequences when you've taken every opportunity and snubbed your nose at it. I watch this episode over and over. Another favorite was Laura season 7 episode 10 because the abused mate finally stood up for themselves and kicked the abusing hoarder out EXCEPT apparently the dude was on Dr Phil 2 years later in the same predicament! Grow a pair buddy!!
anyone know what happened to her?
No house is worth this.
I literally just passed this house
Unicorn girl TJ really? Does it look any better?
what happened to sandra..anyone know.. ?
jessie james she eat all the things no where 2 put them but in her belly lol na just kidding I really hope she got the help she soooooo much needs.🙏👇🤘
R.i.P 😬
I know you’re reply is a year old but I wanted to answer! Apparently they are doing a 2nd horders episode on this house with the new owners. And they mentioned that Sandra still lives in the area but won’t comment on her further. So she’s alive and ‘well’ but ended up foreclosing on the mansion.
Sabra Hart-Walker where did you see that info? Sources?
This episode hit different to other episodes. She strikes me as a narcissist which probably overlaps with the hoarding. This is the end result. 40 years of possessions loaded up in dumpsters and living in van, rumor is she died in 2020. Really made me think about capitalism and consumerism and the system as a whole, mental illness and Healthcare. She had it all -a business, a mansion and ended up where? For what?
Everyone is a narcissist to you people
Sounds life a horror flick in the making
So sad her whole life gone. They're trying to soften the blow. I wish I could learn more on her life
Does anyone know what happened to Sandra?
She's dead
Oh Mary, it takes a fairy to make something pretty.
I was so sad watching this episode. I want to know if she’s okay in 2023
She's dead
She passed away at the age of 79 in 2023.
😢
@@davissasa
It's okay. She lived a long life.
That is my aunt
ZeroMason1 Mason1 how is she now?
The cleaning guy is rude and just plain mean to that poor woman he needs punched in the face the guys who bought the house are kind and understanding the head cleaning dude karma will get you. That’s someone Mom/Grandma what if it was urs??? Js… This is sad.
Sandra didn't have any kids. BTW, watch the full episode before commenting such a thing.
Say, "I didn't watch the episode," without saying, "I didn't watch the episode. "
This lady don't realize that you cant take that material stuff to the grave. She is so prideful and stubborn. When she passes away, her spirit is is going to haunt that house.
the two young sharks kicked the old woman out of her home. couldn't they pick another place to stay? or couldn't they give her at least one or two rooms out of the hundreds in the castle? how is it possible to have your house stolen like that?! this is outrageous and she behaved too well.
Cau the bank took it cause she didn't make any payments on the mortgage and she thought she could keep working out deals with them but no if you don't pay they take it and sell it and there nothing you can do at that point unless you can pay the full payment to pay them off that just how it is for for everyone when you deal with a bank
Blatant troll. Impressive.
Ha she can live with you hoard up your house.
