Mary Fitzgerald joins to discuss all things real estate and the hit show she stars on, Selling Sunset on Netflix. Listen along as Mary divulges how the show began, how filming works, how she got her start in real estate and the difference between the shows portrayal of working in real estate and the reality of being an agent. Mary dishes on what it takes to really be successful in real estate and the gritty behind the scenes of selling a home. She tells us about dating Jason and their journey from a couple to business partners and best friends. Mary discusses the rumors behind her and Romain getting married before their wedding day on the show and the incorrect way the show portrayed their relationship in season 1. She also discusses her thoughts on the 75M listing, who she would choose from the cast to be her real estate agent if she was selling her house, and her go-to snacks and meals.
