Crazy Rich Agents: Selling Dream Homes has received severe backlash from viewers who claim that the property brokers are inexperienced and insignificant. The show features five rookie real estate brokers who have left their previous professions to pursue success in the luxury real estate industry. Despite relinquishing their stable salaries, they have been taken on by Nest Seekers, a new London branch of a prominent US property firm, where they have the opportunity to sell high-end mansions both in the UK and abroad. However, their earnings are entirely based on commission, and they are forced to compete to secure lucrative deals that could make or break their careers.
Among the brokers featured on the show are Krish, a former building society worker known for his hustling abilities, Georgie, a former care home worker, Vanesa, a former model, and Aly. Unfortunately, the brokers face challenges and criticism throughout the series. In one instance, Aly and Krish are sent to New York to sell properties but struggle and make mistakes when dealing with a luxury apartment in Manhattan. Additionally, Georgie attempts to sell a £2.3 million former vicarage in the countryside, but her clients fail to show up. Despite the potential buyer’s absence, Georgie inquires about her commission, leading to her being labeled as clueless. The property boasts amenities such as a cinema room and wine cellar and spans four acres of land. However, her clients later inform her that the location does not suit their needs. Viewers express their disappointment with Georgie and the other agents, referring to them as useless and out of their depth.
Critics of the show took to social media to voice their concerns about the agents’ capabilities. Many expressed their astonishment at the lack of expertise demonstrated by the cast, and some even compared them to “two-bob” brokers. The viewers observed that the agents often use the term “obviously,” prompting suspicions about their actual knowledge of the industry. Some remarked that the show did not reflect positively on estate agents as a whole. One person highlighted Georgie’s failure to heed feedback from her boss, as she continued to discuss fee structures without first securing potential buyers. In another part of the series, a businessman rejected several luxury properties, deeming them too small and complaining about overgrown hedges.
Crazy Rich Agents follows a group of agents affiliated with Nest Seekers and has been compared to Netflix’s hit show Selling Sunset. In a recent episode, 22-year-old Krish attempted to find a property that met the specific requirements of millionaire businessman Nirad Solanki, the founder of the Elmesthorpe Brewery Company in Leicestershire. Nirad sought a home with ample greenery, no neighbors, and at least 18,000 square feet of space. Krish presented him with two impressive properties: a Victorian manor in Dorset and a converted farmhouse with extensive outbuildings. Despite Krish’s efforts, Nirad expressed dissatisfaction with the options presented, criticizing the size of the master bedroom in the first property and the narrow driveway and overgrown foliage in the second.
The show’s managing director, British boss Daniel McPeake, stressed the importance of securing deals rather than coming close but falling short. Eddie Shapiro, the president and CEO, emphasized the spark and unique qualities that the company looks for when recruiting talent. Krish acknowledged the pressure of dwindling bank accounts, excessive spending, and self-doubt, but remained determined to make a successful sale.
Nirad eventually warmed up to the second property, appreciating its outdoor and indoor swimming pools, tennis court, croquet lawn, and Moroccan spa. Despite his initial reservations, Nirad saw potential in the home and requested a second viewing with his wife and children. The property left him contemplating a price range of £4.5 to £5 million.
Crazy Rich Agents airs on BBC2 on Sundays at 9pm.
