In the city that never sleeps, the agents of Selling the City are hustling from morning until well after sunset. 

In the upcoming New York City-based edition of the Selling franchise, Eleonora Srugo and her team at one of city’s top brokerages, Douglas Elliman, are all about making dreams — and deals — a reality. Hot off the heels of her biggest year in real estate to date, Eleonora has assembled a fierce lineup of agents to raise the bar higher than Manhattan’s most exclusive skyscraper. 

In the clip above, which reveals the first five minutes of the season (dropping Jan. 3), Eleonora, along with cast members Jade, Taylor, Jordyn, Abigail, Gisselle, and Justin, get down to business — and engage in some classic Selling office banter.

Eleonora, a native New Yorker, wasn’t just looking for anyone to round out her dream team, which includes longtime friends — and perhaps a frenemy or two. “Most of all, I was looking for drive. I was looking for open minds and women who were comfortable learning,” Eleonora tells 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.”

That spirit speaks to the heart of Selling the City. While glamour and drama are certainly in no short supply, it’s the sense of sisterhood felt among the agents (and all the ensuing tension) that sets the series apart. “Eleonora is just this genuine and deep person, who’s willing to share her knowledge and that’s very, very hard to find in this industry,” Abi (Abigail), a newcomer to the team, tells Tudum. “But we are truly an ensemble cast where you really get to see each one of us shine.”

Naturally, with a city so large, the agents cross paths with the biggest movers and shakers, including real estate mogul Steve Gold, who fans might recognize from Million Dollar Listing New York. “The volume of real estate we all collectively sell is pretty impressive. We have a lot of firepower and [to do it all] in New York is something special,” he adds. “And it’s very entertaining and fun. Everyone brings something to the table. I stayed up later than I have in the last year to binge-watch it all. I was like, ‘Wow, this is really good.’ ”
