Mary Fitzgeraldis not buying what reality shows are selling.
“Watching drama and people fighting makes me uneasy,” she wrote. “Take our show’s spinoffSelling the O.C., for example — that’s more drama than I like to watch or be around on a daily basis. It’s definitely a different show thanSelling Sunset, as the agents are younger and they have a lot more drama going on.”
Fitzgerald has been onSelling Sunsetsince its premiere in March 2019. The show is currently has five seasons out.
Despite the drama, the real estate agent did admit that the Netflix series has been good for business.
“I think I speak for all the ladies when I say we’ve gotten clients from the show, and we’re selling at higher price points,” Fitzgerald said. “For me personally, I have price cutoffs now: I won’t sell any house under $2 million unless it’s a favor for a friend.”

Still, there are downsides. Fitzgerald wrote in her essay that along with the increased notoriety came a feeling of being too exposed.
“We also have to be extra careful about our safety in ways we didn’t have to before — hosting open houses to make a sale is so much more difficult to do now,” said Fitzgerald. “We have to have security there with us because there are so many crazies out there.”

“I’m on hormones right now because [husband] Romain and I are doing fertility stuff — so basically I’ve been a hormonal mess the past few days,” Fitzgerald said. “Just the other day I was crying, like ‘I don’t wanna do this anymore.’ But I think we know not to take anything I’m saying too seriously this month.”
