Ever turn on the TV, settle in for some satisfying home destruction, and realize the faces on the screen aren't the ones you expected? That’s been the vibe for a lot of long-time fans of Zombie House Flipping lately. If you’ve been wondering what happened to Justin and Ashlee on Zombie House Flipping, you aren't alone. One minute they’re the "Robin Hoods of Real Estate" in Orlando, and the next, the show is hopping over to Tampa and Dallas with entirely different crews. It’s jarring.
Honestly, the transition felt a bit like a ghosting. No big "farewell" episode. No dramatic exit. Just... new people. But before you think they vanished into thin air or had some massive falling out with the network, the reality is a lot more grounded in, well, actual reality.
The Orlando OG Crew vs. The Expansion
To understand where they went, you have to look at how the show itself changed. For years, Justin Stamper and Ashlee Casserly (along with Keith Ori and Peter Duke) were the heartbeat of the series. They were the Orlando team. Justin was the high-energy project manager who lived for the courthouse auctions, and Ashlee was the sharp-witted realtor making sure the "zombies" actually made money.
Then came Season 6.
A&E decided to turn Zombie House Flipping into a franchise. Suddenly, we weren't just in Orlando anymore. The show expanded to include teams in Tampa and Dallas. While this gave us more "gross-to-gorgeous" content, it also meant the original Orlando crew had to share the spotlight. If you’re seeing Dolmar Cross in Tampa or the team in Dallas, it doesn’t mean Justin and Ashlee are "gone" in a permanent sense; it just means the show's rotation is a lot more crowded now.
Are they still on the show?
This is the part that trips people up. Technically, Justin and Ashlee are still part of the Zombie House Flipping universe. However, their screen time has dropped significantly as the network focuses on these new markets.
In the most recent Season 6 episodes, we’ve seen a lot of "Back to the Flip" specials and episodes where Duke or Ashlee take the lead on specific projects, but the frequency of the full original Orlando team appearing together has definitely slowed down. It's a classic TV move: test new talent while keeping the old favorites on a "recurring" or "best-of" loop to see what sticks with the ratings.
Life Beyond the Camera: What They’re Doing Now
Outside of the edited world of reality TV, Justin and Ashlee haven't stopped moving. Real estate doesn't wait for a camera crew to show up.
Justin Stamper is still very much the Orlando native he's always been. He continues to run Blueprint Real Estate Group, the boutique brokerage he co-owns with Ashlee. If you follow him on social media, you’ll see he’s still flipping, still hanging out with his dog Marley, and still deeply embedded in the Central Florida scene. He even branched out into the restaurant world with Johnny’s Tap House Grill. Basically, he's busy.
Ashlee Casserly (now Ashlee Casserly-Greenberg) has been balancing a lot more than just house listings. Since the early days of the show, she’s become a mom, which naturally shifts your priorities away from 60-hour filming weeks. She’s still a powerhouse broker at Blueprint, but she’s also been very open about her life as a parent.
"It's not always about the flip; it's about the life you build after the hammer drops."
That sentiment seems to define their current pace. They aren't just "TV characters"—they are business owners who have a real-world reputation to maintain in Orlando.
The New Faces Taking Over
While many fans still search for what happened to Justin and Ashlee on Zombie House Flipping, a new generation of flippers has moved in:
- Tampa: Led by Dolmar Cross, this team brings a high-volume, fast-paced energy to the Gulf Coast.
- Dallas: Featuring Derek and Chauncey, this crew deals with the unique "zombie" problems of the Texas market (hello, foundation issues).
- Orlando Additions: Even in the home base, we’ve seen new faces like Alynne Cordray joining Keith and Duke to keep the Orlando branch moving when Justin or Ashlee are tied up with other ventures.
Why the Change Feels So Weird
Fans get attached. We watched Justin and Ashlee navigate the 2008 housing crash remnants. We saw them turn literal biohazards into dream homes. When a show shifts to an "anthology" style where teams rotate, it loses that core ensemble feel that made the early seasons so bingeable.
There’s also the "reality" of reality TV. These shows are expensive to produce. Filming in multiple cities allows the production company to film year-round, regardless of weather or local market lulls. It makes business sense for A&E, even if it leaves viewers wondering where their favorite duo went.
The Real Reason Behind the Absence
If you want the "real-real" reason? It's likely a mix of contractual shifts and life stages. Both Justin and Ashlee have been doing this for nearly a decade. That’s a long time to have cameras in your face while trying to run a real brokerage and raise a family. They haven't officially "quit," but they have certainly stepped back to let the franchise breathe while they focus on the "Real" in Real Estate.
How to Stay Updated
If you miss the original duo, you don't have to wait for Saturday morning reruns.
- Check Blueprint Real Estate Group: Their company website is active, and they’re still listing properties in the Orlando area.
- Follow the Gram: Both are active on Instagram, showing the behind-the-scenes of their actual flips—not just the ones that make it to A&E.
- A&E App: You can still find the "Best Of" compilations and the occasional new Orlando episode if you dig through the Season 6 archives.
The bottom line? Justin and Ashlee are fine. They weren't fired, they didn't go broke, and they didn't have a falling out. They just grew up, leveled up their businesses, and the show grew around them.
To see what they’re up to this week, your best bet is to look at the Orlando MLS or their social feeds. While the "zombie" houses of Florida are still being brought back to life, the people doing the work are just doing it a little more quietly these days.
