Selling the City

It's boring, simple as that, they don't show enough of the properties for sale, most of the people on the show I care nothing about, I can't even remember their names, they are superficial, after the first episode I was kinda into it, but it just went down hill from there, it's good background noise, as I am working from home, I will finish the series because I don't like to leave a show unfinished (I'm on episode 4) but it's just a bland show, heck even selling the oc is better than this, I recommend owning manhattan, it has just the right amount of listings, career driven employees and drama.

Despite claiming multi-million sales achievements and being associated with "the best agent in the city," these girls are dressed in a manner that doesn't reflect such success. Their attire seems incongruent with the image typically expected from individuals who are purportedly successful and operating at such a high level. It's surprising to see this juxtaposition between their purported achievements and their choice of clothing, which appears to be quite casual or even disheveled, almost as if they don't care about maintaining a polished, professional image that aligns with their stated accomplishments.

You would think we're in the 2000s. Jason and Brett Oppenheimer Have a knack for hiring the same type of female agent. Surprised we're still promoting it like it's something great. It's clearly all about looks. And cleverage. Everyone here is the same. All interchangeable. They all talk like a Kardashian valley girl. Vapid. Self entitled. Everyone is here for fame.

The real estate is so buried in the background. You barely have anything resembling real estate. The Opponheim Group should be embarrassed.

The soundtrack is super annoying.

I hope Steve Gold got paid a lot of money. He looks so lost in this and his dignity is depleting.

Netflix keeps scrapping the bottom of the barrel for taste. To think people worship them is beyond idiotic.

They are making shows for low IQ.

I thought its gonna be similar to Owning Manhattan, with negotiation strategies, beautiful locations, real life work situations. But this show is wasting of time. Instead of enjoying luxury real estate, I was forcing myself to watch hoping its gonna be better. All I saw unprofessional soap drama, cheap looks, tacky makeups with lashes most New York woman would never wear. This show is very similar to Selling Sunset, which I stopped watching after half episode. Instead of real estate It was mostly about overdone girls and their tacky drama. These guys made the whole real estate industry look like trash, can't believe someone paid to make this show. Will never watch season 2.

As a guy who had to buy several apartmens in different countries, I actually found the first episode of the first season of this show quite educational. While it was sleep-inducing because of its extreme stupidity, it's still valuable material. If even you only have to watch a single episode to have enough of it. First off, these vultures actually take about 3% commissions off any apartment they sell. And for what? For sitting all dressed up in an office and getting driven by their drivers to the apartment just to show it to you? Well, I guess there is lots of tricky paperwork that someone in the backoffice or elsewhere does, so you'd be better off hiring them than working with the seller directly? Anyways, they are certainly trash. Much more than I used to think from dealing with several real estate agents in my life (no, not the "elite" ones). I would never ever want to have any people like that in my life. And I'd sooner kill myself than marry anyone like that. Actually, they aren't even young. Probably in their late 30s? Since they keep mentioning stuff that happened 10 years ago, and they already were in this industry. The main message of this show however is probably not something you'd expect. It's to stay away from New York because it's clearly in a bubble and is uninvestable. The way these girls are thriving on this bubble is just appauling. You don't want to buy into that. Instead, you should buy when these girls go bankrupt cuz there are no sales. One funny sentence I'll remember from this show is "you have to know luxury to sell luxury". Exactly the way of thinking of a vulture. Avoid vultures and parasites.
