Million Dollar Listing - NY

Thanks Kao!  

Kao, I'm following your lead...

Steve: what a beautiful apartment, but that location...merp. Glad the CEO had his back on that one.

Ryan: Why is he such a d-bag with Tyler? I was hoping he had grown out of that tendency.

Tyler: I started to cry when he was talking to that man who had lost his partner. I thought Tyler was perfect and I love how he treats his clients. And I hate when he looses a listing, but I think he lost it when he asked to speak to her parents. Those views are wonderful, but ugh, that area is so busy. But I judge a neighborhood on at least one good bar and one 24-hour bodega, so these apartments aren't really meant for me. I also feel that he is the only broker at Tripplemint that is doing high level sales, I think they are using him to break ground in a new area. It looks like that firm does mostly rentals.

Frederick: Ugh. I don't know why his husband wants to move to LA. The art scene in NYC is where it's at. And I like how Derick said that there was more outside space in LA for the kids...but that house looked like it didn't have a lot of outdoor space and those kids will mostly be in a car when they move. You forget how much we walk in NYC. But good for Fredrick to be so accommodating to his husband when clearly he loves NYC. I would have been a lesser person and said 'nope'.

And he can afford a house in CT, and 40k in rent a month. I'm just so biased with my love for NYC I can't wrap my head around moving to LA.

Tyler is sweet! And how he called his mom? I love him.

And Ryan's 'oh no, I am so nervous, do not look at me or the video I produced' seemed false. I think since I've been seeing that childish side again I'm questioning his authentication.

Oh! It's the same one. How was it priced originally? 4 million for 3 bedrooms in Tribecca is pretty good, except one must like the lack of light.

Frederick: I couldn't believe that woman made such a scene at his showing! So glad he called her and her husband out on their BS. Asking for their permission before opening his business is EXACTLY what they wanted, even though they denied it, and threatening to have him blackballed was just beyond. I like the attitude that his other realtor friends had; if someone in your field arrives in your backyard with a good reputation it's like friendly competition to be on that same level.

Ryan: Glad he finally sold that Tribeca loft. Not sure what time they shot this but it's recently gone under contract so either it's taking a super-long time or the deal fell through.

Tyler: Feeling very bad for him, but totally understand why that couple slashed their budget. They should still be reasonable as the quality of properties they will see at 3 million will be a lot different than those at 4 million. The wife's "Oh, you'll find us something equally as good!" was kinda flippant. No, dear...he probably won't; but that's the sacrifice you made. I got the impression that their families were helping them with the purchase and balked at paying 4 million.

Steve: Don't blame him for cutting that contract loose; if the building management doeds one thing shady there's probably more in store. He made the right decision to get out. I'm not going to comment about all the dirt that the internet dug up on his GF and will only say that their discussion about what to name their baby was really cute.

I don't think Tyler sold that property yet. Last week was when he lost the deal on that property (forgot where it was) because the girl talked to her parents or something and they decided to go with a realtor who said that he could sell their property for top dollar (but basically just told them what they wanted to hear and took their money) and this week was with the couple who were buying who dropped their budget from 4 million to three.

I think I missed the "icing the kicker" mention. What happened?

That's a power move and really tacky.

Well damn. Tyler's clients played hardball (asking for 500k off the purchase price of that apartment) and for once it paid off. It also helped that the sellers were extremely motivated.

Frederick was a mess at the open house of that beautiful apartment. Tyler's client had the money, she just didn't want to spend it on a 2 bedroom with small closets. She did like the rest of the apartment but his attitude would have put me off completely.

I couldn't understand who Luiz didn't want to work for; was it Ryan or Ryan's client? Both of them were rude, and that client (from the clips we saw) was a nightmare. I would have told Ryan no and kept it moving.

Oh man....I would never work for him again. Let him be crappy to someone else.

and Luis quits the show again.

Agreed. I have a complicated relationship with Luis. I really like that he was open about his mental health, but I find him a little fake. Also, working with him would drive me crazy! He is so flighty!

Ramona was pure Ramona. I wonder why they didn't invite Sonja - she lives on that block. Or me. I live close by too! But I guess they wanted to have more socialites than social workers (see what I did there?)

I was so enjoying this show! Love seeing all the apartments in NYC. I can't wait for next season, there is so much luxury inventory that I feel it will be interesting to see a little more on what is going on. (Meanwhile, normal people and low-income people are still struggling to find affordable housing).

What is Luis’s relationship with his baby & baby momma? I stopped watching.

Is this coming back on? Has anyone heard anything about a new season?

They should film a new season now.   They should show the throngs of New Yorkers trying to unload their condos, leaving furniture on the street, fighting over UHaul moving trucks, panicking about COVID-19 and unrest.
