So with the drama-filled season 5 airing soon, we concept it's time we take have a look at the start of the show — how the creator, Adam DiVello came up with it, how it ended up on Netflix, and why The Oppenheim Group owner, Jason Oppenheim didn't like how the hit series grew to become out to start with.
How The 'Selling Sunset' Creator Came Up With The Show
DiVello noticed The Oppenheim Group's billboard when he was once driving and idea that it would make a super TV show. He then reached out to Oppenheim, but it wasn't easy getting him onboard. "We'd been approached for over a year by several agents and producers and we rejected them for a long time because we thought the idea of a show would be more risk than reward," mentioned the dealer. "Initially when Adam DiVello called, we weren't interested. He was persistent and we all said we wanted to be on Netflix and he got them on board."
The show's self-proclaimed villain, Christine Quinn additionally told StyleCaster that they agreed to do the display because DiVello promised to make a "tasteful" concept for it. "We had been approached before for shows, but obviously, we turned it down," she shared. "Adam was like, 'No really. You should look into who I am, and what I've done. I'll do it really tastefully.'" When requested why he selected the brokerage, DiVello informed Variety that it was once just a "no-brainer," casting such an "attractive" team of realtors. "I've always been obsessed with real estate personally. I watch all the real estate shows and spend many a weekend going to open houses myself," he said.
"Even when I was living in New York I would get Variety and I'd look at your real estate section all the time. I've been very interested in this world for a long time," he persevered. "I came across these two brothers, Jason and Brett Oppenheim, and they own the Oppenheim Group up on Sunset. I saw their ads in magazines: It's the two of them, and then about five or six female employees they have working for them. And I thought, that's the cast of a show right there. They're super attractive and they're the No. 1 Realtors selling in the West Hollywood and Sunset Strip area. They've got billboards up and down the strip, and it seemed like a no-brainer."
Why Jason Oppenheim Initially Didn't Like How 'Selling Sunset' Turned Out
Speaking to The Tab, Oppenheim mentioned that he would have said no to Selling Sunset had he known it will be inquisitive about drama. "Well, I love the show's popularity. When I first signed up for this show I definitely thought it was going to be more real estate driven," he said. "That said, the type of show I would have wanted probably wouldn't be that popular. Yes it's got a lot more dramatic than I would have anticipated or would have wanted, however, this show has done so well for our business so I very much enjoy all the positivity around it – so overall I'm happy."
Chrishell Stause additionally instructed TMZ that "certain things that are a little amped up for the show." It's also confirmed that the forged is every now and then given prompts for what they will have to talk about. "Things for 90 per cent of the time are shot in real time. Sometimes we need to reshoot things, like if a location or a house isn’t available – or a cast member is out of town, that's when will shoot things out of order or after the fact," wrote an alleged workforce member on Reddit. "But besides shooting some things out of order, no one is ever 'fed' lines."
They persevered: "The EPs [executive producers] just tell them what topics or 'storylines' they want discussed in the scenes based on what's going on IRL, and they roll cameras until the conversation runs out of steam. And of course everyone is human and has good or bad days and things are edited, but the cast IS exactly how they come across on the show." As for Quinn, she truly is that further. DiVello himself feels like her antics may well be too much for the show. One time, the realtor wrapped her Lamborghini in blood for Halloween and the executive manufacturer stated it used to be an excessive amount of for the display.
