With any successful reality TV show, skeptics are quick to assume that everything shown onscreen is done only for the cameras — which is understandable, as countless iconic reality series have been revealed to be staged. Case in point: The biggest accusation people throw around when it comes to “Selling Sunset” is that the cast aren’t actually selling anything. Many doubt that the ladies even have licenses, and that they’re merely playing pretend.
President of The Oppenheim Group, Jason Oppenheim was quick to clear up this misconception. “Mary, Heather, Maya, and Christine were licensed and successful real estate agents at The Oppenheim Group many years prior to filming our show,” he told People in August 2020. “Any insinuation that the agents on our show are not experienced, successful, or licensed, evidences a complete disregard for the facts. Even a superficial investigation would identify previous team photos, hundreds of millions in transacted sales, and more than 50 years of combined licensed real estate experience from these agents,” he added.
