Following a cast of real estate agents from The Oppenheimer Group, it’s not just securing a buyer (and that all-important commission) that causes these feisty females a wealth of stress. The drama unfolds in their work lives, as well as their personal lives, with arguments, break-ups, and gossip to contend with. As season 8 heads onto Netflix, no doubt there will be new faces, new competition, and new reasons for the claws to come out as they fight for business and pleasure.
