In its 2017 season, A&E’s Hoarders featured a woman named Sandra Cowart. The show highlighted the plight of Sandra, who had filled her stunning four-story and 31-room mansion with almost everything imaginable. Her spoils, so to speak also included pieces of furniture she found lying on the street. “What happened to A&E’s Hoarders Sandra?”
Here’s what we know about Sandra Cowart
Though she was evicted from the mansion after failing to pay back a bank loan, the new owners allowed Sandra to cull out her hoard and arranged for many of those items that would be auctioned off. Despite the fact that Sandra officially moved out of Michael and Eric’s house on October 4, 2016 (as seen in Season 3), she has yet to visit them since they finished renovating. After losing her job and finding herself unable to manage the house on account of hoarding, Sandra finally found a TV show that would give her an outlet. “I felt like people might be more helpful than just me trying to make all these decisions myself,” says Ikeda about why she chose Hoarders as opposed to other similar shows.”
A&E’s Hoarders Sandra admitted around the time of her initial episode’s airing that she was unhappy with the show’s outcome. The decorator claimed that she had yet to receive any proceeds from the auction of her belongings and that the items she had chosen to keep were not moved to the location she requested.
Alice responded to the claims by noting that Hoarders is not a transportation service. “We’re not going to move 50 years of contents piece-by-piece,” she stated. “The point of this show is to try to make people face their disorder and make some very difficult decisions.”
What does the Julian Price House look like now?
Michael and Eric purchased their dream home for just $415,000. They plan to move in with their twin daughters but are offering certain rooms of the house as short-term rentals so that they can make money off it! A majority of the renovation was completed last spring in time for a Designer Showcase that benefited the nonprofit Preservation Greensboro. “It’s an honor for us to continue to create memories in this home,” Eric previously told the Greensboro News & Record. “Our overall goal is to bring back to the neighborhood what was lost.”
Sandra expressed how lucky she felt to have lived in the historic mansion over the past four decades. “If this had happened 35 years ago, I really would have been devastated,” she shared. “I’ve not allowed a single thing to be changed… Forty years, what a privilege! What an incredible opportunity!”
