Wow. I love this show! I caught up via ON DEMAND and it's such a great show. First of all -- real estate porn! -- and in NEW YORK CITY. Freaking amazing. In the third show Ryan sells a place on Grammercy Park which is un.be.liev.able. Covet!

Anyway, Fredrick amuses me. I love his accent, yah? Gay porn? Really? Then he's all over the blonde who looks at the Soho loft ... I can get a read. Maybe he's metro.

Ryan is an ass, but damn, he knows how to play the game. Eating, stuffing his FACE at "Justin Timberlake's place" while the Asian broker looks on in disgust ... I think he got that deal just so the guy wouldn't have to look at him stuffing food into his open maw.

Michael ... what a daddy's boy. When he said he used to be a chubby kid with glasses and bad teeth, I was like BINGO! ... he's still that kid. He can be thin with -- what the hell is up with his hair?? plugs? and those veneers ... BAD veneers -- but he's still that chubby insecure kid looking up too high to daddy. That date ... if anyone watched, it was the epitome of uncomfortable first date. Botox to stop perspiring? What? Is he Sonja Morgan's broker? LOL

Anyway, I hope other people are watching, 'cause I wanna TALK about it -- love it.

<sad> No one watches this but me? I'm really loving it.

Fredrick is an ass. Ryan is an ass. Michael Lorber is a nerd who is such a squeezable teddy bear.

Real estate porn.

If you're into real estate porn, try Selling New York on HGTV.

Sorry, icy. Watching anything related to real estate makes my stomach turn these days. And that guy in the promos with the neon-white teeth doing the Karate Kid move? Absolutely despise him. I did see a promotional clip of the show a couple months back. This same asshole actually gave his business card to another Realtor's client...WHILE THE REALTOR WAS SITTING RIGHT THERE!!! Maybe it was done for dramatic effect (WTF?), maybe those guys knew each other and it was within the bounds of appropriateness for their relationship. But I will tell you this: soliciting a client who is already working with another Realtor is grounds for some serious repercussions in the state where I live. HIGHLY UNETHICAL.

That right there? Turned me off of even wanting to leave the show running if it came on after a Howife show and I was too lazy to get up and find the remote control.

I don't get this show. The quiet one who sweats too much is the son of one of the wealthiest real estate people in NY, probably a billionaire. So the Swedish guy is not going to be giving him any hassle. I think the whole thing is just for show, except the apts for sale are probably real.

I looked at that glass Park Avenue thing they are trying to sell this week. Its in the same block as my podiatrist. Most of those old style Park Ave buildings have docs offices with separte street entrances. The building is so out of place on Park, it just looks ugly. Its narrow and glass between these elegant old limestone buildings.

Weaver, I'm so jealous! I wish I was in NYC. I miss it so much.

So it's ugly? That figures.

And yes, I think the whole Mexican fiesta brokers' open party by Fredrick (the Swedish high-kicker) was a set-up. He's aggressive, but no way is he insulting Daddy's little boy for money when he just earned 1/2 a mil selling 1/3 of a building down in Tribeca. No way. But Michael is such a wimp.

I don't understand him being single IF he's really into women -- I'd marry him just to be in line for daddy's millions! (I wouldn't, but I pretend I would.)

Michael seems way too unagressive to sell anything. But he is the one I would go to if I wanted an apartment. He seems to know everything about every building. Frederik talks too much and I wouldn't trust Ryan.

There is a little clip of his own apartment on Bravo, its very conservative, has lots of books and maps. He just seems out of his element on the show.

People have too much money, sigh...............

The three guys were guests on WWHL and the poll was "who would you have sell your apartment" and surprisingly, Ryan won. I think that was tipped in his favor by his antics in the show that had just aired, when he was completely an ass to a guy wanting to buy a place Ryan was rep-ing and the guy ended up caving and paying more ... I thought Ryan was stupid, but then realized he was playing the game ... and winning.

I wouldn't go to Michael because IMO he's too anxious to sell. He doesn't have the smarts to stick to a price over that goofy "wanna please my Dad" thing. I'd go with Fredrick. He knows what something is worth in the current market and IS aggressive in a good way, I think. But he's still quite the jerk.

Fredrick is a gay porn star, not sure if that would make him a better real estate guy or not. Another porn star guest starred or something, Tag Eriksson.

Ah, the jokes write themselves! I'm allowed to say that since I used to be in the biz. The real estate business, that is. lolol Although sometimes it felt like clients expected me to put out, to get them what they wanted. Not that I'm bitter about my experience or anything.......

There was an article in the paper last week about the selling of the penthouse for $20mil in the Jean Nouvel building where Michael was selling an aparment:

In addition to generating the highly charged bidding war, the apartment recently received screen time on the Bravo program “Million Dollar Listing New York.” Ms. Parker, who appeared briefly on the show, confided that it was a little more fiction than fact.

In the episode, in which a party was held in the apartment for brokers and clients, Ms. Parker said, she already had contracts out on the apartment. “They just pretended for the show,” she said. “It was all make-believe.”


I suspect a lot of the scenarios are "made for TV."

I still like Michael. He really researches the building. Ryan is a jerk, don't think any seller would really allow that size party in such an expensive place though. As for me, I'd love that Gramercy Square place, always wanted to live there.

That Gramercy Park place was freaking amazing, amazing. I love that episode, mostly because Ryan kept a stone face and just kept shoving food in his mouth until the other guy cracked.

Watched the first episode of the LA version and it pales in comparison.

LOL, it so funny you say that, Icy. For some reason, I prefer the LA version. Not a clue why.
