Chrishell Stause can’t speak for everyone, but she insists that the sales you see her make on Netflix hit show Selling Sunset are real — and she keeps the entire commission.
Chrishell, 43, an agent on the show since season 1, appeared on “The Viall Files,” where she broke down how it works.
“I’ll give you a little nugget of information. They don’t get a cut of our commission when we sell houses,” she said. “It is amazing to be on a show about doing something where they can’t get a cut of our commissions.”
She added that fans ask her sometimes if the houses she sells on the show are real and explained that it wouldn’t make sense to use an opportunity to make money for any other purpose.
Real estate agents who look like supermodels sashaying down spectacular glass staircases overlooking glistening infinity pools. Asking prices with so many zeros on, you don’t even know how to say them out loud. Colleagues who spend more time flirting, fighting and eating in moodily lit small-plate restaurants than they do actually working. It’s fair to […]
“So I’m saying why wouldn’t you want to really use it for that purpose?” she asked. “Why would you purposely not want to make the most money you could while you’re doing it?”

When host Nick Viall boldly asked how much money she makes, Chrishell didn’t give a direct answer. She did, however, tease, “I’m wearing better shoes than I was the first time I was in here doing your podcast,” flashing her black Louboutins with a smile.
Chrishell also touched on the current state of the market in Los Angeles, where she admits the recent wildfires have made an impact.
“It’s getting better,” she said. “The interest rates are high. It’s a weird time because of the fires and everything. I want to be positive about it, but I also have to be realistic. It’s getting [to] a better place.”
Chrishell Stause and Nicole Young‘s feud made for great TV but now their issues are affecting the production of Netflix’s Selling Sunset. Selling Sunset, which debuted in 2019, follows employees at high-end Los Angeles real estate brokerage the Oppenheim Group. The Netflix series boasts expensive homes, but it is the drama between the cast that […]
The fires forced Netflix to hit pause on filming for season 9 of Selling Sunset. Jason Oppenheim, whose agency, The Oppenheim Group, is the subject of the show, told Business Insider that he was unsure if and how the fires would be addressed on the show.

In the meantime, The Oppenheim Group has started a donation drive, pledged donations to the Los Angeles Police and Fire Departments and promised to represent those who lost their homes for free. The brokerage also announced it would refund the commissions already received from fire victims.
Chrishell told Viall that Selling Sunset is filming again and the new season will release “later this year.”
When season 9 finally airs, don’t expect to see much of Chrishell’s nemesis, Nicole Young. Chrishell said that Nicole, 39, is on the season “a little bit.”
For her part, Nicole told Us Weekly that while she has not been fired, her filming schedule was paused amid her feud with Chrishell.
“I’m still debating whether or not I want to continue filming in this kind of environment, especially with so many infuriating double standards,” she said.
