TLDR: Zombie House Flipping premiered on A&E on January 30, 2016, and has run for 7 seasons and 125 episodes. The original Orlando cast includes project manager Justin Stamper, builder Keith Ori, and Irish-born realtor Ashlee Casserly.
A new spinoff called Zombie House Flipping: Family Business premieres on A&E on May 30, 2026, following the Harr family in Columbus, Ohio.
Tommy Harr has completed approximately 400 flips and built a $20 million portfolio by age 27. His mother Katie retired from a 30-year teaching career in 2022 to join the business.
The original cast does not appear in the spinoff. Both shows stream on the A&E app and Philo.
A zombie house is a property left for dead.
Abandoned, foreclosed, neglected to the point where the neighborhood has written it off. Zombie House Flipping has spent a decade making the case that those are exactly the properties worth buying.
The show premiered on January 30, 2016, on FYI and A&E, and built its audience on something reality renovation television rarely delivered: actual financial transparency. Budgets, overruns, carrying costs, profit margins. Not every flip went well. That was the point.
Seven seasons and 125 episodes later, A&E is expanding the franchise with a Columbus, Ohio spinoff following a multi-generational family operation. Zombie House Flipping: Family Business premieres May 30, 2026. The Harr family has nothing to do with the original cast. They are their own thing entirely.
The Original Cast: Orlando’s Zombie House Crew
Justin Stamper: The Project Manager Who Started at 19
Justin Stamper is an Orlando native who entered real estate under the worst possible conditions. After flipping his own family’s foreclosed home at age 19, he started buying distressed properties directly from courthouse step auctions.
That hands-on experience in the deepest part of the 2008 housing crash shaped how he approaches every project on the show.
He co-founded Blueprint Real Estate Group in Orlando’s Antique District, where he focuses on sourcing properties, negotiating acquisition prices, and managing overall financial risk.
On screen, he is the one doing the math while everyone else is dealing with the surprises inside the walls.
Keith Ori: The Builder With Two Preservation Awards
Keith Ori grew up in Pennsylvania, served as an intel analyst in the 20th Special Forces Group while earning a journalism degree from the University of Southern Mississippi, and moved to Florida in 2002.
He began rehabbing his own rental properties, then expanded into property preservation during the 2008 crash, managing approximately 3,000 foreclosed homes before shifting his focus to historic zombie properties.
The City of Orlando awarded him its Historic Preservation Award for Best Preservation in both 2013 and 2017. The 2017 award came from the team’s restoration of a prairie-style home on Lake Copeland that required rebuilding 65 historic wood windows.
He also hosts the Keith Ori Podcast covering real estate investing and construction. Outside work he is a former race car driver, skydiver, and scuba diver with three children.
Ashlee Casserly: From a Village in the Irish Midlands to Orlando’s Zombie Houses
Ashlee Casserly was born and raised in a small village in the Irish Midlands and educated in Galway before emigrating to the United States after earning her bachelor’s degree.
She obtained her real estate license in 2007, immediately before the housing market collapsed, which forced her to specialize in exactly the kind of distressed, short-sale, and foreclosure properties the show documents.
She worked in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington D.C., and Miami before settling in Orlando, where she co-founded Blueprint Real Estate Group with Justin Stamper. On the show she handles initial property valuation, design input, and resale strategy.
Peter Duke: The Designer Who Went to Ukraine
Peter Duke designed the distinctive industrial aesthetic that defined the early seasons of the show before departing to focus on his own development company, Hourglass Homes.
His post-show trajectory took an unexpected turn when he volunteered as a convoy driver delivering military and medical aid to Ukraine, becoming a key figure in the documentary film No Sleep Till Kyiv.
He returned as a guest designer in Season 5. He is not a current cast member.
The Regional Teams
Later seasons introduced rotating regional crews. The Tampa team is led by Dolmar Cross, a Jamaican-born entrepreneur and University of South Florida graduate who runs a high-volume wholesaling operation called Real Advisors, alongside realtor Samantha Middleton and designer Amanda Areopagita.
The Dallas team follows husband-and-wife investors Chauncey and Derek Pham tackling severely deteriorated properties in the North Texas market.
Zombie House Flipping: Family Business (Premieres May 30, 2026)
The Columbus spinoff is a different show with a different family and a different city. The Harr family’s competitive advantage comes from something most flipping operations do not have: two generations of professional home inspectors who can identify structural problems before they become financial disasters.
Tommy Harr: 400 Flips and a $20 Million Portfolio by 27
Tommy Harr grew up in Pickerington, Ohio, played NCAA Division I soccer at the University of Dayton, and graduated with a degree in finance and entrepreneurship.
He started working summers for his father’s property inspection business at age 12 for pocket money, joined full-time as a home inspector after college, and began flipping about a decade ago.
His first flip was an expensive education. He lost $100,000 on a historic mansion due to rookie mistakes.
He has since completed approximately 400 flips and built a $20 million portfolio by age 27, currently flipping up to 200 homes annually in Columbus. He is 31, married with a young son, and lives in one of his own flipped homes in the Grandview area.
The show came about after his educational social media presence and participation in a Tampa-based real estate mastermind group caught the attention of a former A&E executive. The spinoff spent nearly three years in development before its May 30, 2026 premiere.
Chris Harr: The Father With 25 Years of Inspection Experience
Chris Harr has been a professional home inspector for over 25 years and runs National Property Inspections (NPI) in Columbus. When Tommy was a child, Chris also ran a property preservation business for banks handling foreclosed homes, which is where Tommy first learned that distressed properties could become opportunities.
On the show, Chris handles pre- and post-construction inspections, giving the family a significant edge on properties that most buyers walk away from.
Katie Harr: Retired Teacher Turned Designer and Realtor
Katie Harr taught for 30 years before retiring in 2022 to join her son’s real estate business. Tommy encouraged her to get her real estate license. She now handles all interior design for the flips and serves as the listing agent for the finished properties.
The combination of her design sensibility and her realtor’s understanding of what buyers actually want has become one of the family team’s most valuable assets.
Will Harr: Construction Lead
Will Harr is Tommy’s youngest brother and the construction crew lead on the show, managing subcontractors and coordinating the physical build on each project.
Tommy is the oldest of five siblings total. His brother Jake is a licensed home inspector at NPI Columbus alongside their father, though his on-screen role in the series was not confirmed in pre-premiere press materials.
Tommy’s sisters Mallory and Amanda are not involved in the real estate business or the show.

What is a zombie house?
In real estate, a zombie house is an abandoned, foreclosed, or severely neglected property that has been left vacant for years, often stuck in foreclosure limbo. These properties deteriorate significantly and become neighborhood eyesores, but they attract investors because they can be acquired cheaply and rehabbed into profitable homes. The show documents the full process from acquisition through renovation and sale.
