7. Getting into the Business

The couple started working together in 2009.

6. Getting Discovered by HGTV

HGTV producers tapped the couple for a show after they came across his Instagram profile, which featured before and after shots of their projects and video clips of the renovation process. Originally the show was going to be called High Stakes Flippers and only one episode aired last summer. The show received good ratings, but was put in limbo until it became Flip or Flop Las Vegas.

3. Managing Business and Married Life

Although the couple has never met or received advice from Tarek and Christina El Moussa, they are confident that they can balance both married life and being business partners. “Being married and business partners, we find it’s an advantage for us,” Bristol said. “Of course there are issues that come up with construction and communication, and … you’re going to have to work on it. It’s about understanding what needs to get done and we’re both very objective with our relationship and with the project.”

2. Vegas Is a Totally Different Beast

The biggest differences between the real estate market in Southern California and Las Vegas is the pace. “Our properties buy and sell in a matter of hours, rather than days or months,” Aubrey said. Also, people in Vegas have different tastes than people in Southern California. “The casino industry really sets a standard for everyone – you see these high-end finishes in the casinos and buyers want that in their homes,” she added.

1. How They Met

They met back in 2009 while watching a UFC fight with mutual friends. After that, they went on one coffee date and quickly realized that they were meant for each other. “We decided right then and there that we wanted to settle down and be together,” Bristol said. Six years later, they were married. They have two sons together: Kale, 6, and Kane, 3.
