Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles
Season 7
The powerhouses of Los Angeles real estate prepare for a British invasion as James Harris and David Parnes join Josh Altman and Josh Flagg on Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles’ 7h season. Competition for the coveted Bird Streets, the most expensive spec home in Los Angeles, and a bidding war with New York’s hottest agent make for the most explosive, most extravagant season of Million Dollar Listing yet.
Rappers, artists, film producers of adults-only content flock to the agents dubbed “Best of the West” in real estate. Champagne and caviar flow as the agents hit chart-topping numbers in sales with properties boasting presidential house-guests, commercial film credits, and neighbors like Kim and Kanye. But it’s not all $48 million dollar mansions and custom McLarens this season. Clashes over the biggest listing of their career put the Brits partnership in jeopardy, and their life-long bond is tested by budding rivalries and blossoming bromances with Flagg and Altman. When Josh’s pre-nuptial planning revolves more around the Altman Brothers than the future Mrs. Altman, and puts stress on Heather. And heart-wrenching grief over the passing of his beloved grandmother, Edith, leaves Josh Flagg taking a hard look at the direction of his own life, and future legacy.
Every listing counts this season with low inventory in the fiercely competitive Los Angeles market. Scarcity in the Hills has the agents expanding their businesses to Venice and Redondo Beach, attaining clientele ranging from A-list to outrageous. Watch Wednesday’s at 9 PM to see the boys battle for the top spot in the Wild West of real estate.
