With Maria Lopez to Mario

0:03

Lopez joining out on Zoom from

0:05

selling Sunset on Netflix. Heather

0:08

ray Young, welcome to the show. How there, How are you? Thank

0:10

you? I'm good? Are you? I'm well. So

0:13

yesterday I was talking to um

0:15

uh, Paulina IGBAKUI

0:17

the president of NBC Studios,

0:19

and Tracy Wickfield and the people all

0:21

ahead of Peacock. The reason I'm telling you this is

0:24

because they were on a very heated discussion. I go or I go,

0:26

damn, what's going on? They were talking about selling

0:28

Sunset and the thing I go, oh my

0:30

god, there's like a whole power meeting.

0:33

So you got big fans just you know, over on arguing

0:36

about what was a big discussion, um

0:39

about whether they like Chris Shell or not.

0:42

And then they felt bad for her because she got

0:44

she got dumped. There something

0:47

something I don't want to talk out of pocket, but it was something along

0:49

those lines her act

0:52

pile for divorce or text message. Oh

0:54

that's cold as ice. That as cold as

0:56

ice. I mean, I don't even know the particulars, but that doesn't

0:58

seem very nice. And I wrong or was

1:01

it? It was wrong? For sure, they would

1:03

together like six years, seven years and

1:05

yeah, yeah, yeah, I know that you can't do them dirty

1:07

like that. That's I'm getting invested now, look at

1:09

this myself in the middle of this anyway.

1:12

Anyway, um, where are you? Where you speaking

1:14

to me from right now at the moment, I'm in Anaheim

1:17

at my fiancee's office, who's real estate

1:19

office. So I come here to do my podcast

1:21

and do my interviews because then there it's just way

1:23

about it being at home with the kids. Well,

1:25

congratulations on the

1:27

upcoming marriage. And so

1:29

you really are a real estate agent. This isn't like we

1:33

aren't casting reality

1:35

or part of me realtors here. This is your real

1:37

real real estate agents. Yeah, we are. I've

1:40

been a real estate agent for almost six years. Actually

1:42

just closed on a house yesterday. Uh.

1:44

I just put on another three point one million dollar

1:46

listening down in Newport, So I'm done

1:49

in Newport Beach now full time. But I go up to l A

1:51

from work, so I'm back and forth a lot, and I do a

1:53

lot of FaceTime calls now so when my

1:55

clients so far, and also because

1:57

of the virus, so I've been kind of like switching

1:59

things out how I do real estate. But I am a real real

2:01

estate agent. Yes, good for you. And fiance

2:04

too, right, a real fiance yes,

2:07

no, no, not

2:09

real fan in the business. He's in the business, yes,

2:11

so that's good. Yeah, my

2:13

my fiance is on h G t V Flipper Flop

2:16

and Flipping one oh one, so really exciting.

2:18

We're in the same business and we didn't meet that

2:20

actually met like totally separate. We're

2:23

in the same business, so it works out that that did

2:25

work out. Well. Let me let me take this opportunity out

2:27

something on a personal level here. Um, since

2:29

you're in the real estate business, has this pandemic? Um,

2:33

how has it affected the prices? And are are the interest

2:35

rates really down? Is a good time to buy a good time to sell?

2:37

What's the deal? Yeah, the interest rates

2:39

are siper low, so it's a good time to buy.

2:41

But there's not a lot of inventory, especially here

2:43

in California. Like I'm looking for clients,

2:46

um, and we're getting out bid. So like

2:48

we'll go in and we'll put an offer and it's like eight

2:50

offers, multiple like over asking.

2:52

So it's just it's not a lot of inventory right

2:54

now. So hopefully that will get a little bit

2:56

better. But prices are great. Right now, it's

2:59

a good time to buy if you want to pay full

3:01

price for something, if you want to get a deal, I would

3:03

suggest waiting. Okay, good, good advice

3:06

all much. How hard

3:08

it's hard to say. Honestly. I think there's gonna be a

3:10

shift, probably within the next like six months.

3:12

I think when everything gets caught up from what we've been dealing

3:15

with for the last six months. But you know,

3:17

I don't think people are realizing what's going to happen.

3:19

I mean, I can't predict everything, but I think there

3:21

is going to be a shift. Okay, good to

3:23

hear, Good to hear. Well, congrats

3:25

on season three of Selling Sunset.

3:27

I know just recently debuted What what's

3:29

going on with you as we enter this season?

3:32

Yeah, so it was, you know season one

3:35

in season two, like we didn't really well season one,

3:37

Like when we started filming, like none of us

3:39

have done this before, we didn't know if it was going to be a hit

3:41

or not a hit. It was on Netflix, it's a reality

3:43

show, going to do well. Ended up doing good. So

3:45

we got a season two, We gotta season three, Season

3:48

three just like blew up and it's

3:50

really incredible. We're hoping to get

3:52

a season four. It's looking really good. Um,

3:54

we're kind of, you know, hopefully

3:57

in discussions very soon, but I can't

3:59

say anything more than that. We just haven't officially

4:02

heard yet. But it's looking good. And for those who aren't

4:04

familiar, would you describe it as like a vander

4:06

Pump Rules but in the real estate world,

4:09

you know, we're all in the same office, so

4:11

like we have a really big family dynamic,

4:13

and you know, we have a lot of egos, Like being in this

4:15

business, we we have a lot of we have strong

4:18

egos and strong personalities. So it's like

4:20

a family vibe mixed with real estate and

4:22

I think less drama than vanderpunk Roules. Some

4:24

might disagree with that, but it

4:26

didn't start with a lot of jama But you know, you put

4:29

a bunch of girls together and we just like

4:31

we fight. I don't know, I don't know where it comes

4:33

from. Did you know any of them prior?

4:36

Yeah, we all started working together. So I've been at the Oppenheim

4:39

Groups since two thousand fifteen, and most of the

4:41

girls were there at the same time. Only

4:43

Krushal was brought on and but she was working at

4:45

a different office, so we are all in the same

4:47

office together, and I've known them for yes, six

4:49

years, some of them they've known each other for twenty years.

4:52

Oh wow, okay, that's

4:54

what's been coming up. People are like, oh, they're not real

4:56

agents. They were you know, casted, or

4:58

like, no, we were. We weren't. Like they

5:01

came to us and wanted to pitch a show,

5:03

and um, we actually turned down a bunch

5:05

of other offers for shows because we didn't

5:07

want it to to interfere with our real jobs.

5:10

And then when Adam de Vello came and

5:12

presented the the premise of the

5:14

show, you know Jason and Brett

5:16

my boss is, the owners of the Oppenham Group, they were

5:18

like, you know, this could be good for women empowerment, showing

5:21

the women in business. And so we ended up shooting

5:23

the pilot and it got picked up and it worked out well.

5:25

I mean, I think people think that because it does look

5:27

like you cast that all these pretty girls is really

5:29

real estate agents. But apparently you're you're legit,

5:31

so legit

5:35

like pretty girls in the office. I guess, yeah,

5:38

I get it. I read that you said

5:41

being a future step mom is the hardest job you've

5:43

ever heard you've ever had, is

5:45

what's the most difficult. You

5:48

know, I give all the moms props, like this

5:50

is something that I didn't. It

5:52

just I fell in love with Tarts so fast,

5:54

and you know, he had two kids. It never even crossed

5:56

my mind that I was becoming a step

5:59

mom. It was just I was so in love with him,

6:01

so I accepted everything that came along with

6:03

that. And I'm really hands

6:05

on with the kids. I wasn't as hand hands on

6:07

for the first maybe like five or six months, because I

6:09

was filming and I was so busy, and um,

6:12

you know, we had help, and like I just chose,

6:14

like I wanted to be hands on with them, like they're going to

6:16

be my step kids, like I adore them, I love them,

6:18

and so I'm really hands on with them

6:20

and juggling real estate and juggling interviews

6:23

and everything else I have going on. And it

6:26

is hard. I'm not used to this. I'm still

6:28

getting used to it, and I'm exhausted every

6:30

single day. And how many how

6:32

many two kids?

6:35

His son just turned five, his daughter's turning

6:37

ten in two weeks.

6:39

Good luck, it's

6:44

already, like you know, Diva, they're

6:46

both like super smart, like strong personality

6:49

and they test me for sure, but they

6:51

also respect me and they love me. So we have a really

6:53

great relationship. But it's hard. It's the hardest

6:55

thing I've ever done in my life. Are do you plan to have

6:57

kids of your own right

6:59

now? Oh no, I don't

7:01

think if I think. If I do, it

7:04

would be a couple of years. But Tark and I are both

7:06

on the same page and we're happy, We're fulfilled.

7:08

I think adding on another baby would just I'd

7:11

be too stressed. I wouldn't be able to focus on my relationship.

7:13

And like, Tark is so important to me that I want to make

7:16

sure that he's number one and everything

7:18

else I can focus on aside from

7:20

that. But he's number one to me. Wow, lucky

7:22

guy. Yeah. Chris

7:25

Shell has joined the new season and Dancing with the Stars. Have

7:27

you seen her dance? She

7:31

is. I didn't even know that. That's news to me. Really

7:33

didn't know that. Yeah, she is. She's

7:35

gonna be holding it up. You

7:39

know. I danced with her at Mary's wedding. Um

7:41

it was in season two. Her

7:43

and I you know, had some champagne. We're out on

7:45

the dance floor, So I think I think she has a good chance.

7:48

Okay, alright, I'm

7:50

gonna go watch her. That's exciting. Yeah, you can

7:52

go and be in the audience. They're very cool. Maybe

7:54
