The story behind selling my apartment through Owning Manhattan on Netflix
After working on it for 2 years, I posted a few pics and videos online that went viral
The Serhant team reached out asking if I wanted to sell it after seeing the videos I had posted online
I agreed to it - thought it would also be a good idea to get exposure for my new app HypeList + the show would help me sell it for a higher price!
Shot at my apartment, plus a bunch of moments that never made it out, including Jessica helping me find a new place in the city.
In the middle of it all, I had an accident and broke my foot, but the searched continued
(Jessica would wheelchair me to every showing!)
Low key feel they did her dirty in the show because she's hard working and very funny. Wish our scenes together had made it out!
Oh and we ended up finding my new dream apartment!
