Chrishell Stause, a real estate agent on the Netflix show Selling Sunset, insists that the sales she makes on the show are real and that she keeps the entire commission. She explained on “The Viall Files” that the show does not take a cut of the agents’ commissions when they sell houses, allowing them to profit from their hard work. Fans often question if the houses sold on the show are authentic, but Chrishell emphasized that it wouldn’t make sense to use the opportunity for any other purpose than actually making money.
When asked about how much money she makes, Chrishell did not give a direct answer but hinted that she is doing well financially by mentioning that she can afford to wear better shoes. She also discussed the current state of the real estate market in Los Angeles, acknowledging that recent wildfires have impacted the area. Despite the challenges, she remains optimistic that the market is gradually improving but also recognizes the need to be realistic about the situation.
The wildfires in Los Angeles caused Netflix to halt filming for season 9 of Selling Sunset, and Jason Oppenheim, the owner of The Oppenheim Group featured on the show, mentioned that it is uncertain how the fires will be addressed in the upcoming season. To support those affected by the fires, The Oppenheim Group started a donation drive, offered free representation to those who lost their homes, and pledged donations to the Los Angeles Police and Fire Departments. The brokerage also committed to refunding commissions received from fire victims.
Chrishell revealed to Nick Viall that Selling Sunset has resumed filming, and the new season is expected to be released later in the year. However, viewers may not see much of Chrishell’s nemesis, Nicole Young, in the upcoming season. According to Chrishell, Nicole is appearing only briefly in season 9. Nicole, on the other hand, expressed her hesitation to continue filming due to the ongoing feud with Chrishell and what she perceives as infuriating double standards. The future of her role on the show remains uncertain as she contemplates her next steps in this challenging environment.
