Selling the city shakes up the big apple — and possibly breaks up friendships — according to the show’s official trailer.
“I’m a top real estate broker at Douglas Elliman and I just had one of the biggest years of my career,” Eleonora Srugo says in the teaserwhich dropped on Wednesday, December 4. “Now I’m starting my own team.”
In the video, fans meet Eleanor’s small but mighty real estate group — as well as some of her fellow Douglas Elliman associates — made up of Jade Chan, Taylor Middleton, Jordyn Taylor Braff, Abigail Godfrey, Giselle Meneses-Nunez, Justin Tuinstra and Steve Gold.
“They’re very lucky to have Eleanor, but I don’t think they’re all going to make it,” Jade tells a group of people in the clip, hinting at drama right after the entrance.

Elsewhere in the trailer, Eleanor has a heart-to-heart with Jade, telling her, “It’s not me against you. It’s me and you against everyone else.”
Eleanor cries because of the pressure of leading a groupbut she’s adamant that her team — Taylor, Jordyn, Abigail and Gisele — are her top priority.
“As much as I care about my business, what I want more than anything is to know that we’re going to be united,” she tells the women during a meeting.

In the final moments of the trailer, Abigail yells at Jade and asks, “Yes or no? Did you say that?” Jade rushes to the camera, threatening, “If any of this comes out, I’m going to sue all your asses!”

“You see me on the show with diamonds and helicopters, but it wasn’t always like that,” she told Netflix Tumdu on Wednesday. “This is actually an honor and a blessing that I am experiencing based on years of hard work. In New York, we’re skinny and we dream big, and it’s nice to show that those dreams can and do come true here.”

The New York native noted that the Oppenheim Group’s Jason and Brett Oppenheim have been a “great source of support” during her Netflix journey — but her spinoff will be different from the brothers’ show.
“We’re a little more raw and a a woman leads the team. The city also takes everything to another level,” said Eleanor. “There’s a really high barrier to entry in this market, and that makes it extremely competitive.”
