Audioboom Studios
About this episode
This week, Jason is joined by luxury real estate expert and Selling Sunset star, Mary Bonnet!
As one of the faces of the Netflix show, she is a VP, a senior agent at the Oppenheim Group with over 15 years of real estate experience. Mary has built a powerful career at the intersection of television and personal branding. Beyond the stunning properties and glamorous show, Mary’s story is about independence, strength, business growth, and credibility, how she used a massive global platform to amplify her professional brand, attract high-end clients, and expand her influence in an ultra competitive industry. 
Mary breaks down her take on Season 9 and how editing shapes the reality viewers think they’re seeing. She opens up about making it clear to production that she refused to be blindsided, and why being financially smart has been a priority throughout her career. Mary also shares the importance of presenting yourself well in the luxury real estate market, the real behind-the-scenes of what the job actually looks like, and the terrifying experience of being robbed during the wildfires—losing $250K in jewelry and only receiving $1,500 back.
She dives into the migration out of LA and how that shift is reshaping her business, what she sold in her first year, her perspective on prenups, and how going into business with an ex impacted her credit. Mary reflects on what she’d do differently, how she defines luxury real estate, and the extensive due diligence required to verify buyer funds. Plus, she shares the story behind her biggest real estate deal, the first time she ever yelled at a client, and her best advice for buyers entering today’s market.
Mary reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can’t afford to miss!
