We've all had our suspicions and asked: "Is Selling the OC scripted?" 

Given the rumors about agents' lavish commissions, or perhaps lack thereof, and the fact that we had our doubts about that elusive billion-dollar listing in Cabo San Lucas, we've decided to dig into fact versus fiction. 

Some of the drama can seem too intense to make up, and even boss Jason Oppenheim confessed to My Imperfect Life that he has to remove himself from the turbulence from time to time.  

"I've learned to take a step back from trying to solve everything myself," he told My Imperfect Life. "I realize a lot of things solve themselves. A lot of things seem like a big deal upfront, but they end up not being a big deal if you just let them go."

Which of those "big deals" are authentic, and which have been stretched for reality TV fans' benefits? Is Selling the OC real or what? Let's dig in. 

Is 'Selling the OC' scripted or real?

Firstly: The Oppenheim Group is a real brokerage and all of the agents on the show are licensed. If you have a look at the O Group website, you'll realize there are plenty of people on staff we haven't even met!

Yes, Selling the OC focuses on actual situations within the realty business. However, that's not to say that producers don't have a vision for the way in which they want the series to play out. 

As Oppenheim told Metro: "At most, I would say that in some situations, if some things need to be addressed or we’re meeting a client or something, we’ll be asked to wait to make sure if we get everything on camera, but that’s certainly not scripted."

His ex, Chrishell Stause, had a different take. In March 2023, the newly married realtor and Selling Sunset star took to Instagram Stories to suggest that the producers were attempting to manipulate storylines. 

"The way reality TV producers manipulate things to create a narrative,” she wrote alongside snake and trashcan emojis. "Sucks to not be able to be proud of what you’re working on."

In her second slide, she decided to call out the production company. 

“Me collecting receipts for when the time comes @done_and_done_productions or scrap this fake narrative bc don’t forget we have voices too," she added. "Viewers do NOT want manufactured drama."

As far as drama goes, there's definitely plenty of it on the OG series Selling Sunset, as well as its spinoff Selling the OC. As with any reality TV show, we take things with a grain of salt, but the chaos we witness in season 2 of Selling the OC—Tyler and Alex's budding relationship, Polly and Jarvis' screaming match, etc.—has certainly seemed to extend into the outside world when cameras stopped rolling. 

We'll be the first to admit, we're too invested to turn back now. We'll just be here, dreaming of luxury listings and waiting for Selling the OC season 3, which will hopefully be released sooner rather than later. (Alex Hall insists it's the most dramatic one yet because guards are down!)

Selling the OC season 2 is now available to stream on Netflix. 

Reality-show spouses are a hot topic of conversation on Selling the OC season 2, and fans are curious about Brandi Marshall's husband, Sean. 

Throughout the new batch of episodes, everyone's critiquing Alex Jarvis' marriages and wondering if her third engagement will be the charm. Tyler Stanaland and Brittany Snow's divorce—and his flirting habits—has dominated O Group gossip. And we're starting to get a peek at show wives Lisa Victoria and Tiffany Helou as their storylines become a bit more prominent this season. 

With all of that in mind, why is Brandi's fella largely left out of the limelight, especially given that the realtor is very open about her family life?

"There’s a bunch of scenes that didn’t make the cut," Sean Marshall revealed to his alma mater in Boston College Magazine. "I’m kind of like the background guy."

Though getting used to life on a reality TV show was a "mixed bag" for the family, Sean is thrilled by his wife's success and loves watching her shine. Here's what to know about the couple. 

Who is Brandi from 'Selling the OC' married to?

Though Brandi is gaining popularity in the real estate and reality TV realms, her husband, Sean Marshall, got his start in sports. 

The 6' 6" basketball player took his career to a new level at Boston College, and he signed with Pınar Karşıyaka of the Turkish Basketball League upon graduation. His love of the game took him around the world, as also played in Greece and Japan, among other locations. 

Now, however, the 38-year-old seems to have taken a page from his wife's book and decided to get into the business of sports. The entrepreneur founded Pro’s Vision Training, which helps players get in tune with their skills and work towards a career in the NBA. 

Additionally, he manages the Team Challenge ALS basketball team, which competes annually in ESPN’s The Basketball Tournament. This is in honor of Sean's late BC roommate, Pete Frates, who died of ALS four years ago. 

"I promised Pete before he died that as long as I could do this, that I would have this team,” Marshall told Boston College Magazine. "I made that promise, so I’m going to stick with it."

How did Brandi and Sean Marshall meet?

Although the two tied the knot in 2015, Brandi revealed that she had not been actively looking for a partner; she was a single mom focused on raising her daughter when Sean entered the equation. She and Sean knew each other from childhood while growing up in Rialto, California, but things took a turn for the romantic when they reconnected as adults. 

How many kids do Brandi and Sean Marshall have?

Brandi has a daughter from another marriage, and she shares a son, SJ, with Sean. However, to the Marshalls, there is no differentiation between the two.  

"I'm so blessed that he accepts Autumn as his own," Brandi revealed on the show. "I didn't have any plans on meeting a husband... it was a nice surprise that he came into our lives and I think we have a beautiful family."

This season, Brandi is struggling to move on after the death of her mother, and she finds herself entangled in disagreements with fellow castmate, Alex Hall. Will she work through them? Will Sean begin to play a more prominent role in the Netflix series? Looks like we'll have to wait for Selling the OC season 3 to find out!

Selling the OC season 2 is now available to stream on Netflix. 

Selling the OC is becoming a family affair: Gio Helou's wife, Tiffany, made a few appearances throughout Selling the OC season 2, and if the couple's big news is anything to go by, we suspect she'll become a regular in Selling the OC season 3. 

Between the generous loads of drama—the Alex/Tyler situation, the Alex Jarvis and Polly screaming match, etc.—we did celebrate a few milestones, including Gio hitting the $100,000 million mark, an achievement that the couple rang in with a party. (Yes, the party included an ice sculpture of the agent.) Plus, the couple shared news at the end of the season that their family is growing. Perhaps the Helous will have another licensed realtor in the family?

On that note, let's learn more about Gio's other half!

Who is Gio Helou's wife from 'Selling the OC'?

Gio Helou's mother, Lisa Helou, is an expert in the luxury real estate market and a member of the Oppenheim Group, but his wife Tiffany is actually the one who got Gio his start at the California-based brokerage, though she isn't prominently featured on the Netflix series...yet. 

While strolling by the new OC offices, Tiffany joked to Gio that he should check out the brokerage and join the show. He took his wife's advice, and it just so happened that Jason Oppenheim was in the office that day. 

"We immediately hit it off since we were sporting the same Rolex... the rest is history," Gio told People.

What does Tiffany Helou do for a living?

The 34-year-old might've tipped off her husband about the O Group, but she is actually a publicist for her own company, HelloHelou. Additionally, she has a background in interior design, which is definitely something that connects the two, despite being an opposites-attract pairing. 

"We’re different in the best ways — I’m a thrill seeker, and Tiff is definitely more of a play-it-safe, planner type," Gio told People. "So we’re a perfect balance for each other."

Tiffany Helou Instagram: what's her handle?

Her husband's listings are grand, and so are the couple's travels. On Instagram (@tiffanyhelou), you can catch Tiffany and Gio making their rounds across the globe, including Puerto Rico, Paris, France and, of course, all over her home state of California. 

"I'm happiest when I have a packed calendar full of fun things to look forward to. My incessant planning (and endless calendar invites) sometimes drives Gio crazy, but I think he secretly appreciates it," she wrote on Instagram. 

How did Gio and Tiffany Helou meet?

Though the two wed in 2020, they actually first took their friendship to a romantic level back in high school—but it didn't end well. 

"I had a huge crush on Gio, but after one date he dumped me in the school's parking lot," Tiffany told People. "He was the first boy I ever cried over."

However, timing worked out in their favor, and when the two reconnected post-high school, it turned out to be in their favor. 

Tiffany and Gio Helou's baby news

At Polly Brindle's birthday, one couple-in-the-making stole the spotlight with a hot tub make-out sesh, but the event was also where we learned that Tiffany and Gio were expecting. 

After about a year of unsuccessful attempts, Tiffany learned that she was pregnant. She kept the news hidden from Gio for a few days so she could bring him back to a special place for them both, Laguna Beach, to reveal the news. 

"I took a pregnancy test on a whim, fully expecting it to be negative like the countless others had, and was shocked in the best way," Tiffany said.

Unfortunately, Gio's parents were in the midst of a divorce during Tiffany's pregnancy, but here's hoping a little one will bring happiness after such a difficult experience. The realtor-to-be is due in September 2023, so stay tuned for an update!

Selling the OC season 2 is now available to stream on Netflix. 

Carol Helou is yet more proof that a love of real estate can be genetic. 

In Selling the OC season 2, we reunite with the Oppenheim Group staffers, many of whom are second-generation agents. Tyler Stanaland got a start in the business thanks to his father, John Stanaland, and Gio Helou works alongside his mother Lisa, whose career has also led her to the O Group. 

We've gotten acquainted with Gio's mom, who appears briefly in both seasons of Selling the OC, but considering Gio's father is also prominent in the real estate world, what do we know about him? Is he going to end up on the Netflix series any time soon? Here's the scoop.

Who is Carol Helou from 'Selling the OC'?

Carol Helou is a residential builder, and though Lisa Helou has been a guiding figure for her son, Gio revealed to Real Tea that his dad was the one to originally take him under his wing. 

"My dad is a builder," he told the outlet. "I actually started working with him. And it was really great learning the building side of things and understanding how much things cost for clients if they want to remodel or build their dream home from scratch. So it was great to be able to bring that to the sales side when I joined my mom about four years ago."

Little information is available about Carol, but during season 2 of the Netflix reality show, Gio opens up a little bit more about his family. He and his wife, Tiffany, are expecting their first child, a baby boy in September 2023, after months of trying to conceive. However, the timing is bittersweet, as Carol and Lisa, both of whom resided in Balboa Peninsula Point, were going their separate ways, something that was a bit difficult for Gio to digest. 

Regardless, he put his personal feelings aside and listed his family home with the Oppenheim Group. We get to see the gorgeous beachfront property and, in fact, Carol was the one who worked on the construction of the 3,800-square-foot residence, completely scrapping the original layout back in 2013. Gio managed to sell it for close to $16 million.

"I’ve sold a lot of remarkable waterfront properties in my career. This particular listing is not only the best of Newport Beach real estate, but is also uniquely meaningful to me," he told The New York Post. "The home was built by my father and holds some of my favorite family memories, so it’s a privilege to oversee its transition to a lucky new owner."

Though we don't get a glimpse of Carol at any point in season 2, we do learn more about Gio's family. Perhaps we'll go a step further with the Helou clan when Selling the OC season 3 hits the streamer!

Selling the OC season 2 is now available to stream on Netflix. 

Yes, we've already fast-forwarded to Selling Cabo. Netflix released Selling the OC season 2 on Friday, September 8, but since the O Group is expanding its horizons into a neighboring country, we can't help but wonder what's next for the brokerage. 

In terms of drama, our cup runneth over thanks to the Newport Beach office's antics: Polly Brindle and Alex Jarvis' fight, Alex Hall and Tyler Stanaland's quasi romance, etc. But with a new office, will there be a new cast, a new country and new turmoil?! Here's everything we know about those spinoff rumors. 

Is 'Selling Cabo' Netflix's next reality TV show?

At the time of publication, there hasn't been any official word that Selling Cabo is in the works at Netflix, despite the ever-growing brokerage and TV franchise. (Selling the OC is a spinoff of Selling Sunset, in case you didn't know.) However, that doesn't mean we're not crossing our fingers for a Cabo-set spinoff. 

In 2022, Jason Oppenheim revealed to My Imperfect Life that he's always looking to expand the real estate firm, so it seems nothing is out of the realm of possibilities. 

"In terms of the Oppenheim Group, I'm always open to another office that might be in the cards but basically slow, steady growth," he said. "I think the main thing is just for every agent to be more productive than the year before. I judge the company based on the success of my agents."

Currently, there are three agents working onsite at the Cabo office, according to the O Group website. Agents from the LA and OC offices are also responsible for selling homes in Cabo—you might recall that Austin Victoria was ready to uproot his family to Mexico to make his mark there—so it's possible we'll hear more about the O Group's growth in Selling the OC season 3. 

Considering there's currently such a small staff in Cabo, it's probably unlikely—at least for now—that there will be a spinoff. If anything, we'd bank on the San Diego office getting time in the spotlight before the new Cabo digs. 

That being said, there's still plenty of excitement surrounding the brokerage's latest venture, particularly when it comes to that $1 billion listing. Oppenheim revealed that California natives are not only interested in buying luxury pads in their home state, but they're eyeing Cabo in particular, which reached the $400-500 million mark in sales in 2020. 

"This year [2022] they’re on pace for over $2 billion in sales," he noted when he brought his staff to the Mexican hotspot. 

Should any news develop, we'll of course keep you posted, but in the meantime, it looks like we'll get lost in the chaos of Orange County. Trust us when we say there's plenty to keep us busy. And, with hope, Selling Sunset season 7 will hit our screens before the year comes to a close. 

It's the O Group's very luxurious world, we just happen to be living in it!

Selling the OC season 2 is now available to stream on Netflix.

Truth be told, you might've forgotten all about Austin Victoria. 

That's not to say he's a bad real estate agent, far from it, but the Oppenheim Group staffer tends to steer away from the drama, of which there is plenty in Selling the OC season 2. Whether we're watching Tyler Stanaland and Alex Hall dance around their feelings for one another—a contentious topic in the office—or Polly Brindle and Alex Jarvis scream at each other after an all-hands, the intensity is as high as the listing are expensive. 

Then you have Austin: Tyler Stanaland's confidant, a hard worker, and a father of two. But what do we know about the model-turned-realtor? Let's dig a little deeper to learn more about him now that we're in the midst of season 2.

Who is Austin Victoria from 'Selling the OC'?

Although he's celebrating two years with the Oppenheim Group and two seasons in front of the camera on Selling the OC, Austin Victoria is definitely used to being in the spotlight. The realtor began modeling in 2015 after a talent scout noticed him dining with his mother. 

According to his O Group bio, Austin "prides himself in being the best father and husband he can be. His passions, other than real estate, include living a healthy lifestyle and always pushing the boundaries to become physically and mentally stronger."

Austin Victoria wife: who is he married to?

After dating for less than a year, Austin married his wife Lisa in 2018. They share two twins, Hazel and Lila, who are soon to be 4-years-old. Though the model and fitness enthusiast has love for his family, we catch him at a crossroads with Lisa in the debut season of the show, when he's keeping late hours and traveling extensively while she's home.

In season 2, those issues only seem greater, as Lisa revealed she is ready to have another child. Meanwhile, Austin is considering a move to Cabo San Lucas to help the O Group set up its new office, despite having just settled down in Orange County.

Austin admits that Lisa keeps things grounded, but he is the one who is ready to take on a challenge. He also prides himself on being his family's provider and adding another kiddo into the mix seems to raise concerns for him, though Lisa assured him in season 2 that her mother would help out if need be. Chances are, he is not going that route, judging from his reaction.

What is Austin Victoria's age?

Born on December 13, 1990, the reality star is currently 32 years old. Astrologically, he's a Sagittarius, and they're always up for an adventure and constant change. This certainly checks out, cosmically. 

Austin Victoria Instagram: what's his handle?

You can catch the Selling the OC star on Instagram at @austin_victoria, where he regularly posts sweet shots of the Victoria clan, behind-the-scenes insights into the Netflix series and plenty of shirtless thirst traps. 

What is Austin Victoria's net worth?

Though the Glendora, CA native insists he was raised from humble beginnings, Austin is now reportedly worth an estimated $3 million. He has said that providing for his family is always his first priority, and he has a sense of pride in being able to give them what he didn't have growing up. 

(If you're curious, here's the Selling the OC cast net worth.) 

What drama does Austin get into this season?

This season, the Selling the OC crew has it out for Alex Jarvis, and vice versa. A hot topic of conversation is her two-year-long engagement, and whether or not her third marriage will be a success. (She did get married in April 2023 and, thus far, it is seemingly a success.) But there was a lot of talk about Jarvis' other half, Sergio, and her friend group in Cali—particularly during an alleged Halloween party. 

"It was the strangest party I’ve ever been to. A bunch of, like, rich, fat men with, like, beautiful women everywhere,” Austin told co-workers in season 2. "[Jarvis] got really weird when she saw me like she wasn’t supposed to be there. … I’m not saying that [it was a swinger’s party]. I’ve been to some weird parties in L.A. and that by far beats them all."

Though he still has a ways to go before he earns a Drama King title, we'll go ahead and give him a point for this tidbit!

See Austin Victoria in Selling the OC season 2, now streaming on Netflix.

In the event you got sidetracked by the mega-million-dollar listings, Polly Brindle and Alex Jarvis of The Oppenheim Group will redirect your attention back to the office drama where it belongs.

Selling the OC season 2 just premiered on Netflix on Friday, September 8, and the realtors did not disappoint. Naturally, they're working with gorgeous homes—a billion-dollar listing (yes billion with a "B")—but that pales in comparison to the tension between the crew.

We're pretty wrapped up with Alex Hall and Tyler Stanaland's will-they-won't-they situation, as well as the unexpected Jarvis/Rose clash, but the sophomore season saves the best for last in the second-to-last episode thanks to Brindle and Jarvis' office screaming sesh. Trust us when we tell you this is unlike any other team meeting you've ever witnessed. 

*Warning: season 2 spoilers ahead*

What happened between Polly Brindle and Alex Jarvis on 'Selling the OC'?

Tensions came to a boil during an OC all-hands. After the team went around to report the statuses of their listings, Brindle took the opportunity to invite her entire office to her lavish sleepover-themed birthday party, despite the animosity that had been brewing. Jarvis said in front of the whole group that she would not be attending after Brindle had called her a derogatory name. 

Things began heating up from there when Brindle pulled her colleague aside after the office-wide sit-down. 

"You're telling me that I'm two different people. You're coming at me in an insulting way," Jarvis said. 

"You were f***ing dry-humping someone in Cabo. That's why you were so pissed off I have a video of it," Brindle retorted. 

Though we cannot comment on footage we haven't seen, drama about the alleged video escalated into consent issues. And since there wasn't enough chaos to go around,  rumors about a "compromising" video with Brindle and Stanaland followed. Because the team chit-chat already hadn't gone poorly enough.

Did Polly and Alex make up on 'Selling the OC'?

Though quite a bit of time has passed since filming took place, we're going to go out on a limb and say that the two have not made amends. Why? They're not following one another on Instagram, though they're following plenty of their other reality-show peers. 

Additionally, when Jarvis tied the knot—after getting engaged for a third time, as the cast likes to point out—Brindle was noticeably absent from the comments section of the announcement. You'd think a congratulatory Insta comment would be the cordial thing to do, considering they're in such close quarters.

Should anything develop on this friendship front, or lack thereof, we'll be sure to keep you posted. In the meantime, we're going to have to be patient for Selling the OC season 3.

Selling the OC season 2 is available to stream on Netflix beginning Friday, September 8.

Call us impatient, but we're already curious about Selling the OC season 3. 

Selling the OC season 2 landed on Netflix on Friday, September 8, and it delivers a large helping of turbulence and opulence, as expected. We meet a new face (hi, Ali Harper), witness a relationship escalate (that's you Tyler Stanaland and Alex Hall), and, but of course, catch connections falling apart.

There's plenty happening, and a new Oppenheim Group office is in the works in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Heck, there's even talk about the brokerage's record-breaking first billion-dollar listing. Surely we can't be parting ways with the group given all that's going on, right? Right, Netflix?! 

Here's everything we know about the fate of the show.

Will there be a 'Selling the OC' season 3?

Rest assured, reality TV fanatics: Selling the OC season 3 has been confirmed by the streaming giant, and believe it or not, it's already in the works. According to staffer Alex Hall, the third time is definitely the charm. 

"I think the most impressive is going to be season 3, to be honest, because like our friend group after season one, we were like, ‘Holy sh*t.’ So we were a little guarded coming into season 2 just because of all that happened after season 1," she revealed to ET Canada. "And then by the end of season 2, we were like, ‘F**k this.’ Like you can’t think about everything before you say it."

If they were "guarded" before, we can't even begin to imagine what's going to happen once the third season comes around. Dare we say, the Newport Beach office drama *just* might be more addicting than Selling Sunset (a.k.a. the franchise OG)?! You didn't hear it from us. 

In the ET Canada chat, Stanaland actually agrees with Hall about the cast's approach. 

"Season 1, we definitely had our guard down, but in 2 we came in hot, but we just let it all show. And I think that you see that, and season 3 even more so I think," he noted. "I think with time we’ve just grown more comfortable with the cameras around. And that’s why you see the drama and relationships and things you do see."

OH. GOODNESS. GRACIOUS.

What will 'Selling the OC' season 3 be about?

We were left with quite a few cliffhangers come the end of the eight episodes in season 2. Did Alex Jarvis get married, and did she make amends with her real estate partner in crime, Alex Rose...and nemesis, Polly Brindle? Will Alex and Tyler become #couplegoals or ultimately friend zone the flirtation? And are we going to get a peek at that billion-dollar listing? The Cabo office is getting ready to rock and roll, after all...

Though we don't have a synopsis of what's to come just yet, we're fairly certain there will be plenty of material to keep us intrigued. And if Miss Ali Harper from Nashville, Tennessee, does in fact get her license and work her way into the Oppenheim brothers' good graces, will she pick sides in the office? Team Jarvis or Team Brindle? That could be a make-it-or-break-it decision. 

When will 'Selling the OC' season 3 hit Netflix?

A release date has yet to be revealed, but given that there was a year between season 1 and season 2, we suspect the third installment will be around this time next year. But we're definitely hoping it comes around a lot sooner because patience isn't our strong suit. (No offense to the forthcoming Selling Sunset season 7.) 

As Jason Oppenheim told My Imperfect Life, "The [Newport Beach] office becoming so successful as quickly as it has is the biggest reward. They've doubled anything I thought they could've achieved in their first couple of years."

From viewers' point of view, that also means drama. Be sure to watch this space for season 3 updates, but until then, enjoy getting lost in the season 2 antics and beachside homes.

Selling the OC season 2 is currently streaming on Netflix.

We knew Selling the OC season 2 would be grand, but the Oppenheim Group's first billion-dollar listing catapults the brokerage into unimaginable territory. 

During a group sit-down in the Newport Beach office, head honcho Jason Oppenheim updated his staff about the company's new office in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, as well as the big bucks that come along with it. 

"We've got a big announcement: in Cabo San Lucas, we have our first billion-dollar listing," Jason revealed. 

"Billion? Like with a 'B'?" Lauren Shortt asked. 

Yes ma'am, billion. Viva la Mexico, right?! But aside from the initial mention of the exceptionally high-priced listing, we don't hear much about it after the first episode. And when the crew leaves for a company trip to the tropical hotspot, we don't visit said listing (though that gorgeous $45,000,000 villa certainly sufficed). So, what do we know about this abode with Big Listing Energy? Let's dig in. 

(Yes, this mystery is the new "Did Davina sell the $75 million house on Selling Sunset?") 

What's going on with Oppenheim Group's billion-dollar listing?

Is it a single-family property? Is it intended for more than one buyer? Is it a luxury community within Cabo? Is it one of the most expensive homes in the world? Little is known about the listing. However, it's likely to be the brokerage's partnership with various groups on the Enclaves, something the company touches on via Instagram.

"This expansion into Cabo San Lucas is the culmination of an exciting partnership with Diego Sanchez Navarro and Grupo Questro, as we bring to market the Ritz Carlton Residences, the Enclaves, the 1 Homes Residences by 1 Hotels, the Hacienda Beach Club Residences, and billions of dollars in new projects on the best undeveloped land that Cabo has to offer," the post read.

More about the O Group: Cabo

Currently, the highest active listing on the Oppenheim Cabo website is $17,950,000—no small amount, but still lightyears away from $1 billion. The company's Instagram page, which reveals listed and sold properties, does not make mention of the billion-dollar buy, but does include a link to the Enclaves website in its bio.

To put things in context, Come to Cabo Villa Rentals revealed that homes in the luxury real estate market in Cabo average at around $3 million, but can reach as high as $16 or $17 million. And in the O Group's case, one home hit the $45,000,000 mark, which we see in season 2. Then we have a late 2022 article from Forbes that stated a $90 million beachfront abode in Los Cabos, the county that incorporates Cabo San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, was the most expensive property in the area's history. Given this insight, it's likely this project is referring to the Enclaves.

During the OC Group's Mexican getaway—which included a hefty dose of drama—Jason took his staffers to the office to show them around and talk numbers. He said that Cabo hit $400-500 million in sales in 2020. 

"This year [2022] they’re on pace for over $2 billion in sales," he noted. 

Additionally, Jason revealed last year that his brokerage sold an enormous $2 billion in real estate over nine years, and it's interesting to think one single place has the power to compete with so many years of hard word. 

Does the billion-dollar listing on 'Selling the OC' actually exit?

My Imperfect Life has reached out to the Oppenheim Group regarding the property, but did not hear back at the time of publication. As soon as we learn more, or if the Enclaves are confirmed, we'll be sure to keep you updated. 

Whatever the case might be, we'll just be here getting lost in the O Group drama until then!

Selling the OC season 2 is available to stream on Netflix beginning Friday, September 8. 

In between big sales and bigger bickering matches, did Alex Jarvis get married?

Now that Selling the OC season 2 has made its way onto Netflix as of Friday, September 8, we're getting lost in the luxury and the drama. There's plenty happening in the romance department—not to point fingers, but let's point 'em at Alex Hall and Tyler Stanaland—and we can't help but wonder how things unfolded for our betrothed Southern native. 

So is Ms. Jarvis now a Mrs., or is she simply a "ring collector" as Polly Brindle rudely suggested? Here's everything we know. 

Alex Jarvis' marriages: did she tie the knot for a third time on camera?

While her wedding is a hot topic of conversation—and we get a sneak peek at her stunning $50,000 Michael Costello dress during a fitting—Alex Jarvis didn't get married on-camera...at least not in Selling the OC season 2. Her engagement was mentioned quite frequently, as it was her third overall. This was a little tidbit that some of Jarvis' castmates didn't mind using against her, but she insisted the third time was the charm and admitted she had to "kiss a lot of frogs" to get to her current place. Little is known about her previous relationships.

But considering her two-year-engagement seemed long, everyone was curious if, in fact, the third time was actually the charm. Rest assured, naysayers (*cough* Polly Brindle *cough*), Jarvis did marry Sergio Ducoulombier in one of the most romantic locations in the world: Villa del Balbianello in Lake Como, Italy. Talk about amore! After their "I do's" they hopped on a boat to Bellagio to enjoy some Italian cuisine. (Honestly, this sounds like the perfect way to cap off a wedding.)

"Four years ago he walked into a restaurant and stole my attention and my heart," Jarvis wrote on Instagram. "Two months ago I chose him and he chose me. Nothing worth pursuing is easy or perfect, and love is certainly no exception. But loving you @sergioducoulombier is the easiest decision I ever made."

She revealed in confessionals that she and Sergio, the CEO of Slip Cash Inc., decided to go against the norm and just elope...and they did in April 2023. 

"We wanted to have a very intimate and romantic wedding day without all the traditional expectations around us," Jarvis told People. "So we decided, let's the two of us go to Italy. We've been before and it's actually where I told him I loved him. He had already told me he loved me, but I held back for a little while."

What were those swinger rumors about?

In season 2 of the show, there was a lot of talk about Jarvis' other half, Sergio, and Jarvis' friend group in Cali—particularly during an alleged Halloween party. 

"It was the strangest party I’ve ever been to. A bunch of, like, rich, fat men with, like, beautiful women everywhere,” Austin Victoria told co-workers in season 2. "She [Jarvis] got really weird when she saw me like she wasn’t supposed to be there. … I’m not saying that [it was a swinger’s party]. I’ve been to some weird parties in L.A. and that by far beats them all."

Jarvis shut down those rumors in a joint interview with US Weekly. 

"I don’t know if we have enough time to unpack that. Actually, Austin, I would like to know what drugs you were on that night for you to think that that’s what happened," she said. 

Looks like there's still tension on that front. If you need us, you know where to find us: on the couch, scoping out the million-dollar properties and taking in all of those O Group rumors. 

Selling the OC season 2 is available to stream on Netflix beginning Friday, September 8. 

Do we have a shakeup in SoCal? Is Alex Jarvis leaving the Oppenheim Group?

This wouldn't be the first time we wondered if an agent was looking for pastures new. Part of the Selling Sunset season 6 drama focused on whether or not Chrishell Stause was exiting the brokerage after her relationship split with Jason Oppenheim. Now, we're just bringing the speculation to a different Cali office. 

Selling the OC season 2 has landed on Netflix as of Friday, September 8, and we're getting up to speed with the "messy" office drama. It appears some turbulence has made Jarvis reconsider where she wants to take her career next. Here's what we know. 

*Warning: season 2 spoilers ahead!*

Is Alex Jarvis leaving the Oppenheim Group?

Alex Jarvis has considered leaving the Oppenheim Group, according to a debaucherous final few episodes in Selling the OC's second season. Though she is taking kindly to the potential O Group newbie and fellow Southern Belle, Ali Harper, Alex is on shaky ground with her current cast members and co-workers. 

For one, she and Alex Rose are no longer the power duo we've come to love from season 1. They're clashing over professional differences—or perhaps we should say unprofessional differences—and they're taking a breather from doorknocking. Plus, they're going at listings alone. 

Then there's the drama with Polly Brindle. After the Office Londoner extended an invite to everyone on the team for her birthday party, a not-so-little tiff erupted between Brindle and Jarvis, the latter of whom was upset over a derogatory name Brindle used to describe her. Then we have the alleged video that was taken without Jarvis' consent, which then erupted into an argument about another alleged video, this time with Brindle and Tyler Stanaland. 

So, given that there's some hostility, Jarvis confided in Harper while at her desk that she'd be willing to have a look at something new. 

"It makes me question if I should stay at this brokerage," Jarvis told Harper, who insisted she stay at the real estate firm. "I'm not saying I'm gonna leave, I'm just, you know, keeping my options open."

At the end of the day, it appears the drama didn't deter Jarvis too much, as she's still listed as a realtor associate on the Oppenheim Group website. But the question remains: will the ladies squash their beef? Looks like we're just going to have to wait for a potential Selling the OC season 3 to find out!

Selling the OC season 2 is available to stream on Netflix beginning Friday, September 8.

What happened between Tyler Stanaland and Brittany Snow that caused their relationship to crumble? 

Ahead of Selling the OC, Tyler Stanaland received plenty of attention, not necessarily for his participation on the show, but for his famous counterpart, a.k.a. Pitch Perfect royalty Brittany Snow. Once the Netflix series dropped, viewers turned their attention toward the surfer and relator for other reasons: his flirty behavior. 

Read Tyler Stanaland and Brittany Snow's statement

Although the announcements about their September 2022 separation were vague and neither party has publicly commented on what caused them to part ways, fans have made plenty of speculations since the news broke last year.

"After time and consideration, Tyler and I have made the difficult decision to separate," Snow's statement read. "This decision was made with love and mutual respect for one another. We have realized we need to take some time and make sure we are each living our most fulfilling and authentic lives." 

What happened between Tyler Stanaland and Brittany Snow?

Viewers (and O Group staffers) were up in arms about Tyler's almost-kiss with Kayla Cardona on the debut season of the show. According to Stanaland, the incident did not come between him and Snow at the time, and Cardona apologized for the almost-kiss. 

For her part, Cardona has claimed that she is not the only one who deserves the scrutiny.

"Everyone else wants to put all the blame on me. No one else is innocent, I'll make that real clear," she told Netflix Tudum. "I think they reacted from a place of guilt and they wanted to put all that heat on me because they know they're guilty themselves. I haven't done half of the s*** that they've done. And I'm also talking about off-camera."

While no one knows specifically what she was alluding to, some believe Tyler and Alex's Hall flirty friendship--which paps and onlookers caught glimpses of when the cameras stopped rolling in fall 2022--is the culprit. 

At the time, Hall told People, "His close friends know a little bit more about his personal life than the audience knows. So anybody in their right mind, I mean, who do you call when you're going through issues? You call your friends. I think people really want to hold onto that idea that there's something there between Tyler and [I]. I mean, at this point, we're just friends, so there's nothing more to it."

Whatever the reason, and regardless of the agent, it appears that the split was a heartbreaking ordeal. In a May 2023 interview with Bustle, Snow opened up about the struggles she went through, without naming her ex-husband directly, and said that her Pitch Perfect family helped nurse her back to health after the turbulent time. 

"In the past year I went through probably the hardest mental health challenge I've ever faced," she told the outlet. "In one day, in a matter of hours, my life turned completely upside down. I was blindsided and everything I thought I knew, held sacred and truly trusted in my life was completely different."

This is certainly not the ending we expected from the pair, who first crossed paths via Instagram DMs in 2018.

"I knew of Britt for obvious reasons, but she was my unattainable crush forever," Stanaland told The Knot in March 2020. "As a man, I used to watch Pitch Perfect with friends and [thought] 'Brittany Snow. One day.' But never thinking it would ever happen. I sent a direct message with the most embarrassing pickup line. A dad joke."

From there the two were inseparable and embarked on puppy parenthood before tying the knot in 2020. Before Stanaland entered her life, Snow kept quiet about personal matters.

"I'm very public about [my relationship] for the first time in my life and that's very strange to me," she told US Weekly. "I keep things very to myself because I feel like the magic gets lost if you promote it too much, but I don't know! When you're in love..."

Selling the OC season 2 is available to stream on Netflix beginning Friday, September 8. 

The Selling the OC cast zodiac signs are as wild as the agents' listings are extravagant. 

After what seems like an eternity—it's been a year, but you get where we're going with this—Selling the OC season 2 is set to hit the market and win us over with its opulence and drama. Needless to say, we're ready for it all. 

To celebrate the Netflix series' return on Friday, September 8, we've done some astrological digging to uncover what's going on with the show's famous faces. (We also dug into the Selling the OC cast's net worth because we know you're curious about those figures, too.)

A catch-up with the wild O Group staffers? Sold!

What do the 'Selling the OC' cast zodiac signs tell us?

Celebrity astrologer Kyle Thomas provided some cosmic insight about each of the O Group staffers' zodiac signs, and some of the details just might surprise you. Have a look to see where everyone in the office stands with the stars.

Alexandra Hall: June 10 (Gemini)

Air signs (Gemini, Aquarius, and Libra) tend to be smart and charismatic, which certainly describes Alexandra Hall, one of the O Group's top staffers. However, we are sometimes surprised to learn that these members of the zodiac can keep things bottled up, considering they present such a tough exterior. Is her will-they-won't-they relationship with Tyler Stanaland one of those things she prefers to keep hidden? Or, given that Geminis "hunger for new horizons," per Thomas, perhaps this means she'll be ready to dive into a new relationship with her longtime friend? We'll find out. 

Alexandra Rose: July 8 (Cancer)

Alexandra Rose might be dominating the real estate game now, but she definitely did not have an easy upbringing--far from it. Perhaps that's why she craves strong connections and takes Jarvis under her wing in the debut season. And, as a Cancer, Thomas notes she and her fellow water signs "hunger for safety, security, and emotional balance." Though we sense some impending drama on the Jarvis/Rose front, we are crossing our fingers that all works out.

Alexandra Jarvis: May 6 (Taurus)

According to Thomas, "Taurus are grounded, strong, and romantic. They are sensual creatures focused upon passion, possessions, and authenticity." Alex Jarvis is definitely strong in her roots and faith, and the O Group's Southern Belle is ready for her romantic happily-ever-after. Will we see her wedding play out this season? We'll know shortly!

Polly Brindle: April 1 (Aries)

Sure, her birthday might be April Fools' Day, but the "immensely fiery" Polly Brindle is no joke. The OC's resident Brit is nothing short of dynamic and exudes Main Character Energy. If we were willing to bet, some of those characteristics *might* be problematic in the episodes ahead.

Brandi Marshall: January 4 (Capricorn)

Thomas nails the no-nonsense realtor to a t in his assessment of "strategic" and "focused" Caps: "Oftentimes they turn their whole lives to building an idea, whether that’s their career, family, or a hobby. They seek long-term gain."

The realtor is all about her career and providing for her family, so we're not surprised to learn that she is one of the earth signs of the O Group.

Kayla Cardona: December 20 (Sagittarius)

Sags crave adventure, evolution, and all things new. They are one of the more dynamic members of the zodiac and could benefit from taking breathers before heating up with passion or fury. (Perhaps that would've saved us some drama between Kayla Cardona and Tyler Stanaland...)

Tyler Stanaland: July 19 (Cancer)

Tyler Stanaland has definitely gotten attention, but not necessarily the good kind. He went through a very public divorce from actor Brittany Snow, and many suspect his flirty office behavior was to blame for their demise. But since Cancers "hunger for safety, security, and emotional balance," will he seek to find that in season 2? (Perhaps with longtime pal and co-worker Alex Hall?)

Austin Victoria: December 13 (Sagittarius)

The realtor, model, and actor craves adventure and always looks to improve himself in his career. When taking all the office drama into account, the dad of two is not typically one to get involved: he's too busy planning his next moves.

Sean Palmieri: August 6 (Leo)

We'll admit, we're a bit taken aback to learn that Sean, one of the quietest realtors in the office who generally steers clear of any chaos, is a Leo. 

"They hunger for fury, whether that’s expression, art, romance, or dominance," Thomas says of Leos. "They desire being seen like a bright light."

You can color us surprised. Will we get another look at Sean in season 2? Perhaps we'll see a side of him we didn't know existed?

Gio Helou: March 20 (Pisces)

We would've pegged Sean a Pisces and Gio a Leo, but hey, guess there are a few curveballs in the cosmos, right? According to Thomas, this water sign is "sensitive, spiritual, and compassionate" and "can reflect a rainbow, candlelight, or darkness." Maybe his water tendencies will shine through in season 2?

Catch Selling the OC season 2 on Netflix beginning Friday, September 8.

Just what the O Group needs: another Alexandra! Ali Harper is bringing some Southern charm to the West Coast and (seemingly) stirring the pot. 

Now that Selling the OC season 2 is premiering on Netflix on Friday, September 8, we're getting reacquainted with the OG crew and scoping out facts about our Nashville newbie. 

According to Polly Brindle, Ali will "ruffle a few feathers" and has apparently ruffled Gio Helou's, who noted that the O Group novice is "pretty, charismatic, but overrated." (Are we sensing some jealousy, Gio?) So, what do we know about the latest agent to hit the scene? Let's find out!

Who is Ali Harper from 'Selling the OC' season 2?

The 30-year-old hails from Nashville, Tennessee, and made the rounds in the pageant world before trying her hand at real estate. She won Miss Tennessee USA in 2018 and placed within the top ten at Miss USA, but the up-and-coming real-estate agent thinks juggling four jobs is what really prepared her for what's ahead in SoCal. 

“I think it’s safe to say I’m not scared of a little competition and chaos," she revealed to People. 

We're fairly confident her peers will hold her to that statement. (Just a hunch!)

She's a foodie

Ali apparently spends a lot of time in the kitchen, and we're salivating over her culinary endeavors over on Instagram, where she's featured her prosciutto burrata pizza, zesty street corn dip, and even Ina Garten's wildly beloved "Marry Me Chicken." Pass a plate, please, Ali!

She has a boyfriend

Ali is romantically tied to Lucas England, who has made a name for himself in the logistics and supply chain industry, according to LinkedIn. You can catch him making appearances on her Instagram. 

She has strong roots

Faith, family, and Nashville are all pillars of the agent-in-training's Instagram page. Now that she's making a go of it in a new state, she admitted it's not the easiest thing. In fact, she considers it, "the biggest and scariest decision of my life yet." 

She further revealed to People, "It’s been tough not being 10 minutes away from [my parents] for the first time ever."

She's friends with everyone in the office...for now

According to her chat with People, Harper is getting adjusted to a new life in California and settling into her career. (She's an aspiring agent, according to the piece, and her O Group bio is not yet live on the company's website.) She has chosen, at least for now, to stay out of the O Group's messes (of which there are plenty). 

"I’ve never been one to initially stir the pot… but will I toss in a bit of seasoning, turn up the heat, and hand off the spoon? Absolutely," she said. 

Ali, we're looking forward to getting to know you more this season!

We'd be lying if we said we weren't curious about the Selling the OC cast net worth. Considering those lavish listings are a pretty penny, an O Group salary must be off the charts, right? 

As we gear up for Selling the OC season 2, which hits Netflix on Friday, September 8, we're refreshing our memories with everything that happened a year ago: that Kayla/Tyler kiss drama, the Alex Rose/Alex Jarvis power team and, of course, all of the price tags. 

Before we catch up with the crew as they embark on pastures new—one listing is entering the billion-dollar territory, supposedly—we're taking a deep dive into those monetary figures. (Don't worry, we'll fill you in on all the drama, too—there's plenty to go around.) 

In the words of Miss Alex Hall: "Real estate in Orange County is better than it's ever been."

What is the 'Selling the OC' cast net worth?

Though we've learned from the Selling Sunset cast net worth that head honchos Jason and Brett Oppenheim are each worth roughly $50 million—not too shabby—where do their staffers stack up in comparison? Let's take a look. 

Alex Hall

Alex Hall might've gotten her start in interior design, but she's crushing the real estate game. When Selling the OC first premiered, she was estimated to be worth around $1.5 million, but various sources indicate that she is actually closer to the $5 million mark as one of the O Group's top staffers. 

Alex Jarvis

Alex Jarvis has worn many hats: model, lawyer, realtor. Considering she closed nearly $40 million in sales during her first year alone, according to her O Group bio, it's no surprise to learn that she's sitting comfortably near the $4 million mark. 

Alex Rose

In four years, Rose closed on nearly $100 million in sales—no small feat. Though she comes from a finance and economics background, it's certainly worked to her advantage in the luxury real estate market, netting her a valuation estimated between one and four million dollars. 

Gio Helou

The dad-to-be just hit the $100 million sale mark in season 2 of Selling the OC. We're not surprised, considering he stems from real-estate royalty (mom Lisa Helou is also an O Group agent). Before taking on the role of a realtor associate, Gio was in residential development but before he even entered the realm, he was a documentary filmmaker, with a net worth reportedly clocking in around $3.5-$4 million. 

Austin Victoria

Austin tends to elude the office drama—smart decision—but he's certainly cashing in on big deals, with a net worth estimated at $3.5 million. In addition to working in real estate, he's also teamed up with HRI Talent for the past eight-plus years for acting and modeling jobs. 

Tyler Stanaland

Tyler is the cast member who needs no introduction. We all know that he and his ex-wife Brittany Snow went through a very public divorce, but there are lesser-known aspects of his life that we might've overlooked, including his surfing career and real estate roots; his father John Stanaland, operates a family-run brokerage that sells luxury coastal homes in Laguna Beach, California. Tyler first acquired his real estate license at the tender age of 18 and grew up working alongside his father. He's now allegedly worth a cool four million bucks. 

Polly Brindle

Selling the OC's resident Brit didn't even have a real estate license upon joining the Oppenheim Group; she started her career at 15 as a model and worked for luxury brands like Lancôme and Dior. That transitioned well into selling luxury homes, and she let her passion for architecture take over upon her move to California. It's a good thing, then, that her net worth is estimated at $1.5 million. Cali's an expensive place!

Brandi Marshall

The former PR rep, who is worth an estimated $3 million, worked her way into real estate and her main goal is to "help individuals and families create generational wealth through the foundation of real estate ownership," per her company bio.

Kayla Cardona

Yes, Kayla was at the heart of plenty of drama in the debut season of the show, but she managed to hustle her way to the top of the real estate industry, raking in a net worth of $1 million. She had a difficult upbringing, particularly during her teen years when her family disowned her for being pregnant. Now, she is working hard to ensure a good life for her and her son. 

"People wanna come across as like, 'Oh, I'm this badass agent that's making it right away,'" Cardona told Women's Health in 2022. "The reality is you might need one or two side hustles to get you through the first couple years of real estate. That's just the truth."

Sean Palmieri

The Florida native tends to stay clear of any commotion among co-workers and is one of the more easy-going cast members of the Netflix series. That has worked out well for him, as he's repped multi-million-dollar luxury homes in Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, and  Hollywood Hills, to name just a few prestigious locales, and boasts a net worth of $1 million, per sources. 

Lauren Shortt

Though Lauren has only been with the O Group for two years, her eight-year career involves closing on over 150 homes, and that hustle has brought in a net worth of $1 million. As far as her dynamic with others on the show, she's a breath of fresh air when the chaos kicks in!

So, is the Tyler Stanaland and Alex Hall situation purely platonic, or have the co-workers taken things up a notch?

Selling the OC season 2 hit screens on Friday, September 8, and we're banking on some drama in the love department, particularly from Stanaland, who called it quits with his wife, actress Brittany Snow shortly after the debut series landed on Netflix in 2022. Though "irreconcilable differences" were to blame for their divorce, we suspect that the almost-kiss with Kayla Cardona and his flirty office behavior caught on camera didn't help matters. 

Stanaland has seemingly been attempting to move on in the wake of his divorce, and he's sparked a few dating rumors with Hall since parting ways with Snow. Will this be a friends-to-lovers situation?

What's going on between Tyler Stanaland and Alex Hall?

In late 2022, Stanaland and Hall were caught getting quite comfortable with one another at the opening of Nobu Dubai at Atlantis The Palm. In an interview with People, Hall denied that anything romantic was happening...at least not yet. 

"We were literally at our favorite sushi restaurant right by the office and somebody snapped a picture on their iPhone of us," she told the outlet. "And we were out with more than just us."

But when she further began to justify the flirty outing, things got a little sus with the "at this point we're just friends" line. Could she be holding out hope for something more?

"His close friends know a little bit more about his personal life than the audience knows. So anybody in their right mind, I mean, who do you call when you're going through issues? You call your friends. I think people really want to hold onto that idea that there's something there between Tyler and [I]. I mean, at this point, we're just friends, so there's nothing more to it," she further revealed to People. 

Then, in early 2023, Stanaland was caught hopping around California with an unidentified woman, and he even took to Instagram Stories to post their hike, which included the woman in pink workout clothes flipping the bird. Since then, it's been relatively quiet for the realtor, judging from his social media posts. 

What happened between Tyler Stanaland and Alex Hall in season 2?

*WARNING: Spoilers for season 2 ahead*

Once cameras started rolling, we became wrapped up in their flirty behavior and a will-they-won't-they situation. Between neck kisses in Cabo, Stanaland playfully carrying Hall to a listing when she couldn't walk in her heels, we weren't surprised come the end of the season when the two shared a kiss in a hot tub at Polly Brindle's birthday party. 

Their banter had long been a topic of conversation amongst the O Group staff—and not necessarily a good one—but they finally gave in to temptation, and as Hall said, "opened Pandora's box."

Where do Tyler and Alex Stand now?

According to a new interview with US Weekly, the two are in the midst of figuring out what's next and don't have a definitive answer about their status. 

"I think we’re still navigating our friendship," Stanaland told the outlet. "Obviously, you see in season 2 [that] we explore some things. It leads to a steamy moment and I think we’re still kind of trying to figure it out, but we remain really close friends and I don’t have an answer [on where we stand] for you at the moment."

Though Hall revealed that she is comfortable in the friendship, she's nervous to take things to a new level. 

"It’s easy and it’s comfortable because there it is, just that. It’s a friendship," she said. "There’s no strings attached and I think adding that other element is scary. Some things are awkward, you know what I mean?"

Stanaland added that it's a "blessing and a curse" to explore a relationship with a friend and believes it is much riskier. Time will tell how things play out. Be sure to stay tuned and watch this space for any developments.

He got it from his momma! Gio Helou's mom, Lisa Helou, is not only a real estate legend, much like Tyler Stanaland's father, John Stanaland, but she's also an O Group staffer.

Though Gio has a big personality—and boasts about hitting the $100 million mark in Selling the OC season 2—Lisa is the one who showed him the ropes and helped him gain insight into those lavish Newport beachfront abodes. 

According to Lisa's Oppenheim Group profile, where she's listed as a realtor associate, she relies on a few old-school methods to get the job done. As the description states, "Lisa brings an invaluable and proven skill-set to her clients, in addition to her emphasis on integrity and character."

Here's what we know about her. 

Who is Gio Helou’s mom, Lisa Helou?

While many of us would think sharing an office with our mothers wouldn’t be an ideal professional environment, it seems to work for Gio, who works alongside his mother at Jason and Brett Oppenheim’s brokerage, The Oppenheim Group. We salute them both!

Lisa, who you can find on Instagram under the handle @lisa_cantagallo_helouearned her license in 1976 and married a residential builder. The O group’s website describes her as having "a longstanding reputation for her assertiveness and relentless pursuit on behalf of her clients." This is no surprise, given that she's dealt with luxury listings that equate to millions upon millions of dollars.

Check on Lisa Helou on Instagram

On her Instagram, Lisa keeps followers up to date with all her latest listings and shares some adorable family snaps—especially with her son/colleague, Gio! D'aww, these two.

What's Lisa Helou's net worth?

Although there isn't a clear figure, sources suspect that Lisa is worth anywhere from $9 to $15 million.

What about Gio's father, Carol Helou?

Carol Helou, Lisa's now ex-husband, is no stranger to the luxury real estate industry, either. He's a residential builder and also provided guidance for his son.

"My dad is a builder," Gio told Real Tea. "I actually started working with him. And it was really great learning the building side of things and understanding how much things cost for clients if they want to remodel or build their dream home from scratch. So it was great to be able to bring that to the sales side when I joined my mom about four years ago."

Unfortunately, Lisa and Carol are headed their separate ways just as Gio and Tiffany Helou are preparing to welcome their first child, a baby boy. In season 2 of Selling the OC, we catch Gio listing his family home, which eventually sold for nearly $16 million. 

"I’ve sold a lot of remarkable waterfront properties in my career. This particular listing is not only the best of Newport Beach real estate, but is also uniquely meaningful to me," Gio told The New York Post. "The home was built by my father and holds some of my favorite family memories, so it’s a privilege to oversee its transition to a lucky new owner."

Is Lisa Helou in 'Selling the OC'?

Yes, Lisa appears in several episodes, making her debut in episode two at Gio's open house—where she gave him some sage advice on creating ambiance and the importance of 'no wine upstairs.' She also appears alongside Gio in episode six, again delivering words of wisdom and support to her younger colleagues, Alex Rose and Alex Jarvis. 

Since making her debut on the show, Lisa has been updating her IG page with some behind-the-scenes snaps, including one shot of her about to ring the famous O-group bell. It sounds like congratulations are in order!

In season 2, we see Lisa join Gio at their family home as he gears up to put it on the market.

Selling the OC season 2 is now streaming on Netflix

Remember Polly Brindle? Selling the OC's resident Brit took center stage in season 1. Like the rest of the cast, she is gearing up for a return in season 2, which hits Netflix on Friday, September 8. 

But unlike many of her Orange County-native colleagues, Polly moved to the US in 2011 before then getting her real estate license and joining the world of reality TV. Here’s everything you need to know before catching up with Jason Oppenheim's staffers for round two.

 Where is Polly Brindle from? 

Polly is originally from West Yorkshire in North England but moved to California in 2011 and received American citizenship in March of 2022. She posted the exciting news on Instagram, writing in the caption: “SO excited to finally be able to call the country I have lived in for over a decade, home.”

What did Polly Brindle do before joining the O Group? 

Before securing multi-million dollar listings, Polly was actually in another glamorous line of work—modeling. 

If you thought she looked familiar on Selling the OC you were probably right on the money, as she’s modeled for brands like Lancôme, Dior and Aston Martin. She even tried her hand at acting, appearing in a number of films including Rush and The Glass Man.

Polly Brindle's beef with the O Group staffers

According to allegations from Alex Rose, Brindle, Hall, and co. were not welcoming to Rose and Alex Jarvis, who were originally not supposed to be on the Netflix series. As a result, Rose insists she was treated like "chopped liver," though Brindle disagreed. 

"Nothing's changed, everyone has the same kind of vibes that they always have," she said, according to The Things. "I've seen a couple of interviews that were kind of frustrating to listen to because [Jarvis and Rose] are taking on this narrative that's just not true...it's them against us as they have always done."

Who is Polly Brindle’s ex-husband?

In episode one of the new series, Polly revealed to Austin that she had been married for the majority of her 20s but did not name-drop her ex. Apart from her account of their breakup in the Netflix show, there is not much known about her mystery ex.

"We sold up and decided to move to Los Angeles and the idea was for us to have a life in the sun where we would have 'beach babies,'" Polly told Burnley Express. "But it didn't work out as planned. He left and I stayed and I had to figure out what I was going to do."

What happened between Polly Brindle and her ex-husband?

When asked by Austin about her marriage and if the pair just went their separate ways, she revealed to that their relationship had a "plane crash ending."

Polly then elaborated: “We took vows, and I took those vows very seriously. I got married for the rest of my life, and he was unfaithful.” Hence why she did not take kindly to Kayla attempting to kiss Tyler Stanaland (who was married to actress Brittany Snow at the time).

She then went into more dramatic detail in her solo confessional, adding: "I saw pictures on his phone of him with two women. They were prostitutes.”

Yet, as time went on, both she and co-worker Alex Hall were spotted getting very flirty with Stanaland post-divorce, so the tables definitely turned. 

"The hard part with that is, like Alex, Polly, me, everybody, we're all really tight friends," Stanaland explained. "There's a respect; no lines will ever be crossed. Most of us are married or dating somebody, so there is kind of a set boundary there."

Selling the OC season 2 hits Netflix on Friday, September 8. 

"How much does the Oppenheim Group make," you ask? If you thought the drama between realtors was grand, just wait until it's time to do some math. 

We're about to binge Selling the OC season 2, which premieres Friday, September 8, and apparently the listings are entering billion-dollar territory. Though we're certainly looking forward to catching up with the cast, that doesn't mean we've forgotten about the OG: Selling Sunset season 7. (Did that Chrishell/Nicole feud *finally* come to an end?) 

Needless to say, we keep a close eye on these extravagant listings and the agents who make them happen. Drama aside—and we know there's plenty of that—how much money are we talking, here? Quite a bit, actually. 

How much does the Oppenheim Group make?

Hold onto your seats, dear friends. Jason Oppenheim—who we chatted with about the business and what's next—and his twin brother Brett have built a successful business, so much so that the figures will make your jaw drop. (Hey, this is luxury real estate, after all.) 

In late 2021, just after the premiere of Selling Sunset season 5, multiple outlets dug into the nitty gritty details to uncover the math behind it all. Per The Sun, the Oppenheim Group sells 100 properties a year and is responsible for over $1 billion worth of sales with $300 million in active listings. Not too shabby! 

When Business Insider caught up with the twins in May 2022, figures changed slightly...for the better. The outlet reported that the company has estimated total sales of almost $2 billion since its founding in 2014, and the brothers allege that Los Angeles-based office grows roughly 20-25% per year. 

As for the new dwellings in Newport Beach? They're looking promising, though particular figures have yet to be revealed. In his conversation with My Imperfect Life, Jason Oppenheim opened up about his OC-based staff exceeding his expectations.

"That office becoming so successful as quickly as it has is the biggest reward," Oppenheim tells My Imperfect Life. "They've doubled anything I thought they could've achieved in their first couple of years."

Something tells us plenty of profit is on the way for the newbies to the Selling franchise. Time will tell what the likes of Tyler Stanaland, Kayla Cardona and Alexandra Rose will bring in after dipping their toes in the realty business and reality business.

As far as the richest Selling Sunset cast member, reports indicate that Miss Chrishell Stause takes the cake at $5 million, but now with a book on stands and likely other business ventures, she's sure to rake in even more. Over in the OC office, reports are circulating that Alex Hall is the top earner and reportedly worth $5 million. In season 2, we learn that the O Group is setting up shop in Cabo San Lucas, so there's certainly more Benjamin Franklins to be had. As for the bosses, the Oppenheim brothers are reportedly worth $50 million each. 

Yes, the numbers are unbelievable and the homes are nothing short of spectacular, but it's the cast that's really caught our attention. We'll be sitting by patiently waiting for the next chapter for the O Group.

Sean Palmieri might've been one of the quieter cast mates on the Selling Sunset spinoff, but he certainly got everyone's attention—in real estate, reality TV, and beyond. 

So who exactly is Sean, and what do we know about the agent? In a new interview with LA Style, he noted the importance of staying grounded and forging ahead professionally when times get tough.  

“Being a person of influence is someone who shows up no matter how hard things in life can be. Being able to move forward and believe in that little spark inside of you even when you feel like you are at your lowest," he told the publication. "Being someone who leads by example and also staying true to yourself is very important, no matter what show or opportunities come your way."

We're certainly anxious to see what the sophomore season has in store for him professionally and personally, but first, a quick catch-up!

Meet Sean Palmieri from 'Selling the OC'

The Florida native decided to swap one sunshine-filled state for another. Upon graduating from the University of Florida with a degree in advertising, Sean first stepped into the real estate industry in Miami, but eventually moved cross-country to pursue other avenues.

Before he landed in the Oppenheim office, he was the head of luxury marketing for Coldwell Banker Global Luxury in Beverly Hills/Greater Los Angeles. He also worked for One Sotheby’s International Realty. All of these factors add up to an impressive resumé, and his O Group Profile states: "Over the years, Sean has acquired an extensive amount of knowledge and valuable skills working alongside California's top agents and brokers to represent multi-million-dollar luxury homes in Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, Hollywood Hills, Malibu, Orange County, San Diego and more."

But that doesn't necessarily mean his career has been a walk in the park. In fact, Sean gave a sneak peek of his vulnerable side when speaking to the TODAY Show,  and he confessed how stressful the industry can be. 

"I think it’s key to always take time for yourself. This is a very, very intense industry. (There’s) a lot going on. It really does play with your emotions," he told the outlet. "You could be close to getting a deal and literally 10 minutes later it’s not going through. So, always remember to put the emphasis on your health and your mindset."

Plus, he admitted to Deluxe Version that getting acclimated to reality TV was not quite so seamless, either.

"Having twenty people in a room filming you while you’re working with clients can be stressful," he told the publication. "But sometimes you forget the cameras are even there. That’s when the magic happens."

Where can you find Sean Palmieri on Instagram?

In his free time, you can catch Sean working out, traveling and indulging in his foodie side, all of which are on full display on his Instagram account, @sean.palmieri. We do catch quite a bit of photo ops with his co-workers, too—like all the Alexes (Alex Hall, Alexandra Rose and Alexandra Jarvis, if you needed a reminder). Glad to see drama-free photos with the colleagues, right?!

Who is Sean Palmieri dating?

Ah, the million-dollar question! We're not entirely sure who the O Group bachelor is linked to currently, but he did make a candid reveal about his love life during a pizza party with co-workers during the first season.

"You guys know, I've dated girls, I've dated guys. As of right now, I think they're both equally crazy," he said. 

He decided to take to Instagram in March 2023 to reveal what dating life is like in L.A., and we're chuckling at its accuracy. Guess everyone's a lil' crazy! Perhaps we'll learn more on the relationship front in season 3? 

Catch Sean Palmieri in Selling The OC season 2, available to stream on Netflix beginning Friday, September 8. 

With big listings comes a big dose of confidence—just ask Gio Helou. 

The realtor made a splash in the Selling Sunset spinoff, and now that we're about to embark on Selling the OC season 2, we're going to encounter a career milestone from Helou...and a bit of judgement about a potential new hire. 

Described by the O Group as someone who "brings local expertise and an unmatched reputation to the team," Gio has considered himself a "top dog" in the Oppenheim Group's Newport office, as he was one of its first recruits (then joined by his colleagues, including Tyler Stanaland, Alex Hall and Lauren Shortt).

According to People, it was his wife, Tiffany, who steered him toward the company. While out snagging coffee, she pointed out the office and insisted that her he take a gander and switch brokerages. Well, it turned out she was onto something. When Gio returned later in the day, he just so happened to bump into Jason Oppenheim, and the two were somewhat of a twin flame, and he claims their matching Rolex watches ultimately sealed the deal for the new work opportunity. 

Let's catch up with Gio now that we're in the midst of season 2.

Who is Gio Helou from 'Selling the OC'?

Gio comes from a family of realtors. His mom, Lisa Helou, also has a career in real estate (like Tyler's dad, John Stanaland) and is actually featured on the debut season.

Gushing about Lisa on Selling the OC, Gio said: "My mom is a total badass. She's been selling real estate here in Orange County for longer than I can say. She's taught me everything I know. And I really want to live up to her legacy."

But it was also his father, Carol Helou, a residential builder, who introduced him to the industry. 

"My dad is a builder," he told  Real Tea. "I actually started working with him. And it was really great learning the building side of things and understanding how much things cost for clients if they want to remodel or build their dream home from scratch. So it was great to be able to bring that to the sales side when I joined my mom about four years ago."

But Gio has more going on than you might have expected. In a somewhat unexpected revelation from The O Group employee, Gio was once a filmmaker and participated in creating a documentary, though there are very few traces of his love for the industry online.

Although the realtor's Instagram is largely devoted to his career, we know he has a taste for the luxurious, whether it's homes, cars or motorcycles. From Ferraris and Porsches to Triumph bikes, Gio likes to ride fast.

You can also catch him on Instagram with his wife, Tiffany, whether they're at industry events or gearing up for a relaxing weekend by the beach. Speaking of Tiffany, drama ensued on the show when she arrived at the office launch party. Sure it might not be the same level of drama as the Tyler Stanaland-Kayla Cardona almost-kiss, but it did play out throughout the debut season. Tiffany had felt snubbed by Alex Hall at the party, and naturally, the issue created friction between Gio and his colleague. 

Big news for Gio and Tiffany

The esteemed realtor is about to get a new title: father! In July 2023, the reality star and agent shared the good news on Instagram.

"Secret's finally out!" the couple wrote on Instagram. "Baby boy Helou due end of September. It wasn't the easiest road (still isn't) to get here, but God answered our prayers and we can't wait to meet our baby boy in a few short months."

We'll kick off September with the dramatic new season, then hopefully the tension will cool off as Gio gears up for parenthood. Sadly, his parents parted ways in the middle of Tiffany's pregnancy, and Gio even listed his family home with the O Group, something we see in season 2.

We're certainly curious what's next for Gio, his family, and the rest of his peers. In case you're unaware, here's the scoop on Selling the OC season 3. You're welcome!

Tyler Stanaland, who joined the cast of the Selling Sunset spinoff, Selling The OC, is no stranger to the spotlight or a mind-blowing listing. He certainly made a name for himself on the Netflix guilty pleasure, but you've probably seen him elsewhere. (More on that in a moment...)

Now that we're gearing up for Selling the OC season 2, which is set to hit the streamer on Friday, September 8, we have a feeling he'll have a *very* active storyline. 

Who is Tyler Stanaland?

Tyler comes from real estate royalty—he's the son of John Stanaland, the head of a family-run brokerage that specializes in luxury listings in Laguna Beach. 

Undoubtedly, Tyler's picked up some tips from dad along the way, considering his O Group profile states: "Tyler cut his teeth alongside his father and has since carved a niche of his own as a rising leader in the luxury market."

Even though he clearly has a knack for helping people find their dream homes, Tyler also dipped his toes into uncharted waters, quite literally, as a professional surfer who traveled around the world in search of a good wave. Like real estate, surfing was in his blood. 

However, things turned problematic for Tyler in 2012 when in Mexico for a competition. He was diagnosed with a severe auto-immune disease that caused ulcers in his large intestine, making it almost impossible—and life-threatening—to hit the waves. 

He wouldn't let this be a challenge for his love of the water: after 100+ days in the hospital and seven surgeries, he's able to hop on a board once more. In fact, he said on the show that if he had to rate what he most loves in life it would be surfing, then his wife and dog, with real estate coming fourth. 

Tyler *had* a famous wife...

Tyler's surfing career wasn't what we meant by "Hollywood". We were referring to his now ex-wife, actor Brittany Snow. You've likely seen the duo on the red carpet, and you've watched Snow in Pitch Perfect, Hairspray, and Almost Family, to name just a few. Shortly after the debut season premiered in 2022, the two called it quits over "irreconcilable differences," but we suspect his flirty behavior in the office and almost-kiss with Kayla Cardona didn't make things easier. 

The divorce was a game-changer for the actor. 

"In the past year I went through probably the hardest mental health challenge I've ever faced," Snow told Bustle. "In one day, in a matter of hours, my life turned completely upside down. I was blindsided and everything I thought I knew, held sacred and truly trusted in my life was completely different."

Since Stanaland's split, he was spotted with an anonymous female out and about, and he also sparked dating rumors with his co-star and co-worker, Alex Hall in late 2022, something she denied in an interview with People.

"I think people really want to hold onto that idea that there's something there between Tyler and [I]. I mean, at this point, we're just friends, so there's nothing more to it," she revealed to the outlet. 

She continued, "I don't think that mine and Tyler's friendship had any contribution to his divorce. Tyler is a grown man and Brittany is a grown woman. I think that people need to understand there was a life that they had way before Tyler started filming and long before him and I ever became friends."

What happens between Kayla and Tyler?

While Tyler brands himself a "reserved" guy, he's actually part of quite a bit of drama on the show. While he's one of the three married guys in the office (Sean in the only one without a ring), one of his co-workers, Kayla Cardona, tries to kiss him while they're all out drinking. 

The situation didn't go down well in the office, creating tension between some of the women (including Alex Hall). But it was especially awkward for both parties involved. In a new interview with Reality Life with Kate Casey, the surfer-turned-realtor mentioned the now buzzy incident.  

"One night, Kayla did try and kiss me. And then it happened another night as well," he revealed. "And so on the show, out of respect for her, I am just kind of trying to minimize it and brush past it so that there isn't drama. We can all focus on what we should be doing."

Though he insists that Cardona was a repeat offender, there does appear to be a decent amount of flirting on the show, throwing the notion of boundaries out the window. 

"We are a tight-knit office, and we really did, for the most part all become friends, which is a unique experience for any office," Tyler added. 

Cardona had a different take on the event in an exclusive interview with US Weekly.

"I’m not gonna flirt with someone if I don’t feel like I’m getting flirt[ed] with back. If I know that someone is definitely not interested, I have a lot more confidence in myself than to just throw myself at someone for no reason," she told the outlet. "I was definitely feeling the reciprocation back and, you know, multiple times. But nothing has ever happened."

But as far as work goes—leaving romantics aside momentarily—it's all about the journey for Tyler.

"I think we all came to the plate with a different storyline and I think you’re seeing bits and pieces of those storylines and hopefully we get more time to tell those stories as they grow. Because I think we all are maturing as people and as professionals," he told the TODAY Show. 

We'll get a better look inside both his professional and personal life shortly. Selling the OC season 2 returns to Netflix on Friday, September 8.

Kayla Cardona might be fairly new to the real estate industry, but she was quickly engulfed in O Group drama. 

Selling The OC made its way to Netflix in summer 2022, and fans reveled in the glorious listings and soaked up the turbulence between co-workers, particularly thanks to Cardona. Now Selling The OC season 2 has finally hit our screens, we're anxious to see how she is settling in. But before we meet up with our favorite agents, let's review a few things, shall we?

Meet Kayla Cardona from 'Selling the OC'

Kayla Cardona hails from Orange County and she's 34 years old. She's a single mom with a teen son named Jordan. On the show, she revealed that her parents didn't support her decision to keep her baby after getting pregnant as a teenager, and she was forced to move out of their home and into shelters as a result. 

"That was the hardest thing for me, when my parents disowned me at the time that I needed them the most," she said during the first episode.

Before making her way into real estate in 2019, she worked several jobs to stay afloat. She actually told co-worker Alex Hall that she was still working a second job while waiting for potential commissions to come through.

"People wanna come across as like, 'Oh, I'm this badass agent that's making it right away,'" Cardona told Women's Health in 2022. "The reality is you might need one or two side hustles to get you through the first couple years of real estate. That's just the truth."

She admirably proved her worth in the industry, as her O Group bio states: "She started her real estate career working alongside the highest-rated team on Zillow and all of Orange County where she quickly became a top 1% agent, earning a prestigious Executive Club Award."

In season 2, we catch Kayla and her son join Brandi Marshall and her son, SJ, for an outdoor meal. Although his time on camera is brief, you can tell the mother-son duo share a close bond. 

What about the Kayla and Tyler kiss drama?

Her success on Selling The OC seemed to be clouded by a little office drama...particularly with Tyler Stanaland, real estate royalty and pro surfer. She allegedlly tried to sneak a kiss with the realtor on several occasions, which normally wouldn't be an issue, except he was married to actor Brittany Snow at the time. Since the first season hit screens, Tyler Stanaland and Brittany Snow have called it quits, and he allegedlly has set his sights on other O Group co-workers since his split. 

In a 2022 interview with Reality Life with Kate Casey, the surfer-turned-realtor mentioned the now buzzy incident with his co-worker, which got everyone talking—including Cardona.

"One night, Kayla did try and kiss me. And then it happened another night as well," he revealed. "And so on the show, out of respect for her, I am just kind of trying to minimize it and brush past it so that there isn't drama. We can all focus on what we should be doing."

According to Stanaland, the incident did not come between him and Snow at the time, and Cardona apologized for the almost-kiss. He also admitted that oftentimes he and the co-workers are "all over" each other, which could cause some confusion, to say the least.

Cardona decided to set the record straight with her own interview. 

"Everyone else wants to put all the blame on me. No one else is innocent, I'll make that real clear," she told Netflix Tudum. "I think they reacted from a place of guilt and they wanted to put all that heat on me because they know they're guilty themselves. I haven't done half of the s*** that they've done. And I'm also talking about off-camera."

Well, well, well. Is she referring to Alex Hall and Tyler Stanaland's "friendship"? Is she alluding to his suspected interest in Polly Brindle? What exactly has gone down since season 1 wrapped? We're about to find out, that's for sure. (No spoilers here, folks.)

"We’ve been over it. We’ve been done," she added. "But everyone else seems to keep going about it. So hopefully they'll eventually move on." 

What can we expect from Kayla Cardona in season 2?

In a teaser trailer, we caught Stanaland reprimanding Cardona and wishing she'd stay out of his business. (So clearly not everyone has moved on.) Plus, we hear Brindle getting annoyed with Cardona for allegedly showing co-workers some juicy video footage (likely involving everyone's office crush). Seems like she's still stirring the pot...

In an interview with US Weekly, Cardona insists Stanaland and Brindle's video is more intimate than they let on. Even though people get quickly absorbed with the Alex Hall/Tyler Stanaland romance, Brindle keeps popping up in the equation because of said video. 

Stanaland, for his part, isn't pleased, but seemingly remained level-headed about the whole ordeal.

"I don’t think it was used as blackmail per se, but it was kind of used as a smoking gun to kind of bring up some past hurt between certain people and just an unnecessary tactic in my opinion," he told US Weekly. 

Who is Kayla Cardona dating?

At the moment, Kayla is currently single, though it's likely we'll see relationship changes as the show continues. We'll just have to stay patient and find out. Perhaps we'll get some intel in Selling the OC season 3. 

Selling The OC season 2 is currently streaming on Netflix.

Who is John Stanaland? He passed along his real estate chops to his son, Tyler Stanaland, who's involved in California's luxury market (and one of Netflix's very popular reality TV shows).

Now that Selling the OC season 2 has hit screens, we're revisiting famous faces from the brokerage. Although John is not part of the Oppenheim Group, he did help his son get his feet wet, so it only makes sense to dig into his legacy. Here's what you need to know.

Who is John Stanaland (a.k.a. Tyler Stanaland's dad)?

As it happens, Tyler has been in the real estate industry his whole life, as he's grown up in the family business. His father is a renowned real estate agent and part of the John Stanaland Group, a family-run brokerage that sells luxury coastal homes in Laguna Beach. According to his bio, John "represents a 100+ year lineage of real estate professionals in his family, which has included agents, developers, attorneys, and financiers." (Now he's adding "real estate reality TV star" to that list thanks to his son.) 

If you were wondering what real estate royalty looks like, it's safe to say Tyler Stanaland's father is it. Throughout his career, John has made record-setting sales totaling billions. He's also received a number of accolades along the way and earned a personable and reliable reputation in the process. 

Did John Stanaland leave Villa Realty? 

Even top professionals in the field make changes from time to time. In early 2023, Stanaland left Villa Real Estate and brought his eponymous team over to Douglas Elliman.

"I sell a lot of real estate, and a lot of my clientele is bi-coastal; it’s from all over the country, it’s international," he told The Orange County Register. "Aligning myself with Douglas Elliman will give me the ability to give that much more service to my clients and also expand my business that much more."

Considering he's received over $4.5 billion in home sales in less than 30 years, we're sure his legacy will continue well into this new chapter.

What's John Stanaland's net worth?

Ready for some impressive math? John earned over $4.5 billion in home sales in less than 30 years, of which $600 million came in the last two years. Yowza! As far as his personal affairs, John Stanaland is estimated to be worth roughly $35 million. 

Where does his son stack up in comparison? What about Tyler's O Group colleagues? Check out the Selling the OC cast net worths to see where everyone stacks up.

What is John Stanaland's Instagram?

If you're looking to keep up with the Stanaland fam as you binge-watch Selling the OC, you can find John at @johnstanaland.

On his Insta, he of course shares obligatory snaps of glamorous homes he's successfully sold, plus some cute family snaps. In fact, he's even started plugging Selling the OC, by posting the trailer to his feed. We love a supportive dad!

He even makes an appearance at the Oppenheim Group's launch party in the debut episode, where Tyler introduces him to his new boss, Jason Oppenheim. In season 2 of Selling the OC, we catch Tyler holding an open house for his most expensive listing yet, a connection that he made through his father, though John is not actually in any of the new episodes. 

Tyler Stanaland's father isn't the only real estate royalty in town...

Stanaland isn't the only one showing his son the ropes. Much like his colleague Gio Helou, whose mum Lisa also works for the O-group, Tyler is no stranger to working alongside his nearest and dearest. In fact, Gio's father, Carol Helou, is truly the one who got him into the game. 

"My dad is a builder," Gio told Real Tea. "I actually started working with him. And it was really great learning the building side of things and understanding how much things cost for clients if they want to remodel or build their dream home from scratch. So it was great to be able to bring that to the sales side when I joined my mom about four years ago."

Looks like life at the O Group is truly a family affair.

Selling the OC season 2 is now streaming on Netflix. 

Slowly but surely, we're getting acquainted with the Oppenheim Group in its entirety, including Alex Hall. 

The Selling Sunset spinoff, Selling The OC, is finally returning to Netflix for season 2 on Friday, September 8, and we're anxiously awaiting the turbulence and the glam.  Turning our attention to the realtors, who exactly is Alexandra Hall? She's definitely ready for any work-related challenges that await her. 

"I want people to take away that it’s hard work," she told the TODAY Show. "We work hard and we’re young, but we’re here for a reason. It’s not easy."

But we'd be remiss if we didn't bring up her *close* connection with a fellow realtor...

Who is Alex Hall?

Alex Hall is an Orange County native: she was born and grew up and where she still lives (similar to her co-star, Tyler Stanaland). According to her O Group profile, Hall "ranks in the top tier of Orange County real estate professionals and delivers a depth of expertise to her clients few others have to offer." No wonder Jason Oppenheim hired her!

She definitely has an edge in the field, as she came from a background in interior design. Her resumé boasts time at plenty of impressive companies, including Christie's International Real Estate and Southeby's, according to LinkedIn.

Who is Alex Hall dating? Is she single?

Alex Hall was previously married. She shares two children with her ex-husband, who has remained out of the spotlight. As far as dating goes, we see Alex Hall go on a date with a man named Jeremy on the first season of the show. She did reveal, however, that dating was not her top priority. 

"It's just a lot to juggle without trying to add dates into it. I don't want to go through what I went through again. I don't want to get divorced and now there are kids involved", Alex says while speaking to a client who met her partner on Tinder. "I was married for seven years and I have two beautiful children from that marriage. And I have started dating again, but it's very difficult and I used to think it was some fun thing to do. And now I realize it's just basically another job that I don't need. It's only so many hours in the day."

But that has stopped her from seemingly getting flirty with co-worker Tyler Stanaland. The two sparked dating rumors in September 2022 when they were seen cozying up to one another at the opening of Nobu Dubai at Atlantis The Palm.

In an interview with People, Hall denied that anything romantic was happening...thus far, considering he had just split from actress Brittany Snow.

"His close friends know a little bit more about his personal life than the audience knows. So anybody in their right mind, I mean, who do you call when you're going through issues? You call your friends. I think people really want to hold onto that idea that there's something there between Tyler and [I]. I mean, at this point, we're just friends, so there's nothing more to it," she revealed to People. 

And now that the season 2 trailer is making the rounds ahead of its premiere, she's unbothered by the fact that fans--and co-workers--think she's being a little too flirty with Stanaland, who split from Snow shortly after season 1 aired. 

In the second season, Brandi Marshall noted, "I think you guys are too friendly" and believes things look "sloppy," between the two, to which the realtor said, “I don’t give a f–k.”

The drama is on its way, folks! The drama is on its way.

Alexandra Hall on Instagram

You can find Alex Hall on Instagram at @alexhall_o.c. As well as family moments with her two children, you can also catch her with a few of her cast mates, like Lauren Shortt and Gio Helou (despite the little 'snub' incident).

Selling the OC season 2 will hit Netflix on Friday, September 8. 

American history might not be her strong suit, but Alexandra Rose is making a name for herself in the California real estate industry.

Our first introduction to the Christine Quinn lookalike took place in the teaser for the Selling Sunset spinoff, Selling The OC. While perusing a luxurious home in the debut trailer, she nonchalantly asks if Abe Lincoln was the first president of the United States. Whoops! 

From that point on, we assume the O Group staffer will be one to watch, but chances are you couldn't have guessed her backstory. Sure, Rose is responsible for a few silly moments here and there—and a bit of office drama, to say the least—but a few revelations from the new Netflix star will make you see her in a different light. 

Here's a quick catch-up before Selling the OC season 2, which premieres Friday, September 8 on Netflix.

Who is Alexandra Rose?

Though one of the younger members of the team, it appears Rose has earned her place in the company according to an impressive bio on the Oppenheim Group website. 

"With close to $100M in sales in her first 4 years as a realtor and a degree in finance and economics, Alexandra brings a solid understanding of the dynamic real estate market," a portion of the bio reads. 

Unfortunately, this has made her a target for gossip amongst other O Group employees, some of whom have suggested that Rose has slept with developers to secure her listings. But this is just one mean tidbit spreading around—she's also earned the reputation for being entitled. 

However, during a heart-to-heart with her colleague Gio Helou and Gio's mum Lisa Helou, Rose clears up any miscommunication about her background. Both of her biological parents are homeless and drug abusers, and she and her brothers were brought into an adoptive family. Though that seemed like a saving grace, matters only grew more complicated for Rose when her adoptive father died on Christmas morning in 2003. 

"Life was really hard, you know, growing up," she says through tears. 

Though she's crossed paths with her biological mother on the streets of Huntington Beach, the woman was unable to face her daughter. 

"She couldn't look me in the eye, and she's in and out of jail. She was like an animal," Rose adds.

Despite hardships and difficulty in the office, Rose appears to persevere with the help of her partner in real estate crime, Alexandra Jarvis. 

Alex chats about her first season of 'Selling the OC'

Though we can't forget the presidential mixup, Rose claims she encountered far more on the debut season than a lil' flip-flop. In a 2022 interview with PageSix, Rose alleges that she and Jarvis were never truly welcome in the O Group inner circle because they were originally not going to be on the show. 

"Everyone thought that they were, like, superior over us, and Alex Hall, Polly [Brindle], they were bullies," she told the outlet. "They were mean and nasty and shunned us like we were, like, chopped liver."

We're hoping things take a turn for the more positive in season 2, considering things were so chaotic during the first go-around. Will they let bygones be bygones? 

"All they did was yell and talk loud and be obnoxious and, like, 'I’m just not like that,' she added. "So, when I was in a room with them, it was very awkward for me, and I felt very socially awkward because they just kind of suck the energy out of my soul in a sense."

Yikes—here's hoping for some growth from the ladies in season 2.

Where can we find Alex Rose on Instagram?

Venture over to @alexandraroseoc. She flashes some pretty fabulous listings on Instagram, but Rose also provides a sneak peek into her life, including her travels, from national parks in Wyoming to casinos in Las Vegas, and partying with friends. We even get a taste of her adventurous side with a sky diving photo towards the bottom of her feed. Yikes!

Who is Alexandra Rose's boyfriend?

As far as her love life goes, things are quiet for Alexandra Rose (at least on camera). But, if you're anything like us, you're already inquiring ahead about Selling The OC season 2. Bring on the West Coast real estate adventures, right? 

Selling The OC is now available for streaming on Netflix. Season 2 kicks off on Friday, September 8 on Netflix.

Tyler Stanaland’s wife, Brittany Snow, was a popular topic when Selling the OC first premiered in 2022. Though she did not make a cameo in Netflix's real estate series alongside her hubby, fans hoped for a small glimpse into the actor's life by way of her other half. 

Now, as we gear up for Selling the OC season 2, a lot has changed between the pair, who called it quits shortly after the series debut. Though they've remained relatively tight-lipped about their divorce, we wouldn't be surprised if Stanaland’s flirty behavior in the O Group office had something to do with the relationship's demise. (And we can't forget about his almost-kiss with Kayla Cardona...) 

After a difficult experience, Snow appears to be trudging on with grace. 

"I think everybody goes through really tough periods and then it's all in our perspective and how we deal with it, right?" she told People. "Because nobody's immune to tough periods in their life. And, all I'm trying to do is focus on myself and tune out the noise."

Here's where you've seen Brittany Snow before

Actress Brittany Snow is best known for her role as Chloe in the Pitch Perfect series. According to her chat with People, she said the cast "really did get to become close friends, if not family." She also landed roles in films like Hairspray, John Tucker Must Die and Someone Great, and the TV series, Almost Family. Most recently Brittany has gone the horror route alongside Virgin River's Martin Henderson in X, a slasher film set in Texas.

How long were Tyler Stanaland and Brittany Snow together? 

The couple started dating in 2018 after Tyler embraced the art of modern-day dating and, you guessed it, slid into her DMs. They then got engaged in February 2019, with Tyler popping the big question in their kitchen, which is also where they shared their first kiss. They tied the knot in March 2020 in an intimate, outdoor ceremony in Malibu, California, just days before the world went into lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic.

What has Tyler Stanaland said about co-star Kayla Cardona?

Anyone who has binge-watched the first season of Selling the OC might have a few questions in mind for Brittany's husband, particularly after he and his co-star and colleague, Kayla Cardona, were embroiled in drama over an almost-kiss moment.

Tyler has since spoken out about Kayla trying to kiss him—not once but twice, on the podcast Reality Life with Kate Casey. The real estate star detailed the awkward moment and said, "One night, Kayla did try and kiss me. And then it happened another night as well. So on the show, out of respect for her, I am just kind of trying to minimize it and brush past it so that there isn't drama. We can all focus on what we should be doing."

He clarified that "nothing happened," but said the moment was "something where I had to kind of set some hard lines and some boundaries and reconsider the social environment a bit. It was just…something that, you know, you don't do to somebody who is married."

In the season 2 trailer, we catch a glimpse of Stanaland scolding Cardona for talking about his personal matters. And allegedly, he took a liking to Polly Brindle at some point throughout the season. We'll have to wait for the new episodes to hit screens to see how it all unfolds, but we're fairly confident it's going to be heavy in the drama department. 

Was Brittany Snow in 'Selling the OC'?

Tyler quashed hopes for a Brittany cameo, telling Entertainment Tonight in 2022 that she will not be making an appearance in the debut season. 

He noted: "You will not see her on the show, but she's supportive. I have what makes the most sense in my career, and she has what makes the most sense in her career, and kind of whatever is best, we do, and we support, and I think that's what makes our relationship successful."

Time will tell how his split makes its way into the next chapter of the series. 

Be sure to mark your calendars: Selling the OC season 2 is available to stream on Netflix beginning Friday, September 8. Expect gorgeous real estate, big drama, and yes, a $1 billion listing. (Yes, that's billion with a "b")!

The Selling Sunset commissions seem just as lavish as the homes themselves, but how do they work? How much do the agents rake in when all is said and done? 

Though we're still waiting for the Selling Sunset season 7 premiere date, we've sunk our teeth into Selling the OC season 2, which arrived on Netflix on Friday, September 8. And with the sophomore season came news of the Oppenheim Group's new locale in Cabo San Lucas...and the company's first billion-dollar-listing. Imagine having the pleasure of selling something like that!

So, in the spirit of the OC's return, let's dig into the monetary deets. And if you're curious, here's the OC cast net worth and Selling Sunset cast net worth!

How do 'Selling Sunset' commissions work?

Like most real estate agents, the income of the agents on Selling Sunset and Selling the OC are based on the amount they make via commissions. As for the rate of their commission, it varies from property to property, but considering the caliber of homes they sell (and the hefty price tags that come with 'em) it’s safe to say that their commissions are around six figures pretty much every time.

Speaking to Metro about the financial side of things, agent Maya Vander said, "Typically the commission on a purchase is 5%. The 5% is split into half for the person who represents the seller and the person who brings the buyer, so you end up with 2.5%."

She continued: "If I bring the buyer, I get 2.5% of the purchase price, but then Jason will take his cut because he’s the broker and he has the liability. Typically for a brokerage, it’s about 70/30 split. I would keep 70% out of the 2.5% and he would take 30%. And then we have to pay taxes."

However, it's not every day you sell a $70 million home. In an interview with Express.co.uk, Vander noted that working for commissions was the hardest thing about her job. "Spending months sometimes with a client and then they change their minds," she said. "The best part can also be when a client finds something they love immediately and I make a huge commission with very little effort."

What are the most expensive homes on 'Selling Sunset'?

We all know about Davina's $75 million home, but now that we're back in action with the OC group, we learn about Tyler Stanaland working on a $40 million listing, plus we catch a glimpse of another $40 million listing in Cabo. But according to sources, the top most expensive homes sold on Selling Sunset range from $5.5 million to that famous $75 million property. 

So, that being said, anyone thinking about a career change?! We'll be glad to pass along our résumé, Jason!
