Hit lifestyle series Masters of Flip features the dynamic super couple Kortney and Dave Wilson, who take on the challenge of transforming their rundown real estate investments into stunning and sellable family homes. Working with limited timelines and budgets, this real life husband and wife make their refreshingly positive outlook the driving force behind their projects. Despite the ever present “renovation frustration,” they remain upbeat and kind to contractors, trades people and most importantly to each other! The series is produced by Rhino Content and developed in association with Corus Entertainment.
