Trent and Amber did not let their show’s success get into their heads as they still kept their day jobs. Like any other ordinary family, the couple has dealt with challenges while still raising their kids to the best of their abilities.

The news of the new job came as a surprise considering his son, Jonah, also works as a car salesman. His fans are having mixed reactions, with some even claiming he “stole” his son’s job according to a report by TV Season Spoilers.
Amber, on the other hand, is a teacher who previously worked as a realtor at Washburn and Associates with a five-star rating for her amazing services. Before getting into the real estate business, she was a stay-at-home mom and the head of both the Parent-Teacher Association and Girls Scouts at her kids’ school.
What is Trent and Amber’s net worth?
Trent and Amber’s estimated net worth is between $1 million to $5 million. Their earnings come from both their day jobs and their reality TV show. According to the show’s producer, Terence Michael, the couple makes 10 percent of each episode’s budget. So if the episode’s budget is $600,000, their cut will be $60,000.
After spending years transforming their fixer-upper, the couple sold the farmhouse, which had been a family treasure, and bought a new one. Thanks to their income, the couple managed to purchase a 3,660-square foot home with four bedrooms and three bathrooms valued at approximately $486,000.
