What is Selling the City about?
Netflix’s plot synopsis reads: “A team of stylishly savvy New York real estate agents hustle to seal multimillion-dollar deals while stirring up drama in this soapy reality series.”
We can also expect a frank look at how women are treated in the business world, particularly in real estate. Eleonora has spoken out already about the ways in which she’s encountered stigma as a woman in business.
“If people cannot justify a woman’s success — whether it’s by having connections, wealthy parents, or who your husband is — then there is certainly a default to try to talk about her behavior,” she said in an interview with Netflix’s Tudum. “There’s a belittling that happens with women in business, and it’s a constant struggle and fight to work against those narratives.”
Selling the City cast
Joining Eleonora will be a stellar cast of agent – she has opened up about finding just the right candidates, including “women who were comfortable learning”.
“Most of all, I was looking for drive. I was looking for open minds and women who were comfortable learning,” she told Netflix’s Tudum. “I’m at a place now where I can share my secret sauce and mentor people, knowing that it does not take away from me. Their success, shine, and accomplishments make everyone better — and actually more money.”
