Chip's a baw. Look at that. That being said, I've heard and seen worse in corporate buyouts.

Sounds like Chip is a great guy off camera

Chip is basically challenging this guy to a duel at Sonic. No way around it.

They will probably get 50k each to go away. They can buy a lake house in Waco with that.

People are acting like HGTV was just jonesing to use the Magnolia Realty company for their show
They wanted the Gaines for their show
Chip and Joanna could've started any other realty firm for their purpose
And like you said, it wasn't til the third season or so that people even realized what Magnolia Realty was

I will say this.
As someone who has a wife who loves her some Fixer Upper, I have made the trek to their place in Waco. It is impressive. They either know how to run a business right, or they have hired people that have taught them.
My house looks like Joanna Gaines came in and decorated it and we probably spent $1200. Everything was reasonably priced. I was really surprised.

The ex partners have a case if he intentionally got them out of the picture and low balled them in a payoff because of the future HGTV deal. Now if it was coincidence then it's a different story.

At least Chip and Joanna renovate MOST of the house, unlike Property Brothers
"we sold you previous home for 400k.. and we bought this piece of crap built in the 80s for 300k. That leaves us 100k to renovate the living room, kitchen, and dining room. We'll use the spare bedrooms and closets to hide all of the shite from the cameras and then you're on your own."

Yeah aside from Baylor a lot of the city looks old and very rural

The fact is Magnolia wasn't worth dog shite when he bought them out, I mean it was basically nothing if they sold out for $2,500. Chip for whatever reason liked the name, that's literally all he paid for. I don't see him buying a business model or product considering they had one measly agent and took that little of money.
Chip and Joanna could of just as easily went with the show with a new company name and I don't see how he'd of owed them anything.
Given all that, yeah I think they'll settle just to move on and shut them up.

I've seen Chip's knuckles. This won't end well.

I don't know what he did, but the business being featured in a tv show is material. He presumably worked for that business on investor behalf including himself. If the contract was signed 2 days afterwards it was in the works.
Again I don't know the details, but I could a scenario where a suit was necessary.

I like what they do mostly. I bet the place is pretty nice.

I'd love to see that valuation argument. "Chip, thanks for your $2500 offer. However, based on that HGTV deal, which may or may not lead to a show, which may or may not become successful, which may or may not become one of the hottest HGTV shows of all time, which may or may not lead to you and your wife's large social media following, which may or may not then influence our realty business for the better, we believe the valuation should be 25x."
