Hot agents work with elite clientele on Netflix’s ‘Selling the OC’

They’re young, they’re hot and they’re full of confidence, and they’re selling some of the most expensive real estate in the country in an unscripted series upcoming on Netflix. In “Selling the OC,” premiering Wednesday, Aug. 24, they’re the real estate agents of the newly opened Orange County, Calif., office of The Oppenheim Group, the agency at the center of the Netflix series “Selling Sunset.” And because the location is new and the agents are new to one another, the pressure to sell and establish themselves is immense. As in any workplace, there is gossip, backbiting and office politics, and alliances are forged and enemies are made. But mostly, everyone is trying to establish and protect their own turf. And the stakes are high given that the properties they sell are often in the tens of millions and carry commissions that can be life-changing. The idea for the show was born out of the relationship executive producer Adam DiVello already had with Jason Oppenheim, the founder of The Oppenheim Group that he worked with on “Selling Sunset.” “He was opening an office in Orange County and he was staffing it,” DiVello explains. “And you know, we worked alongside him with who we thought would, be good for wanting to be on camera. I mean, obviously the people want to be on a TV show so that helps. So we picked out the people that wanted to be on a TV show and together put together these agents. I mean, he kind of picked out the best ones that he thought would represent him the best down there and it’s a fun group.”
