Your Mama Hears...

...through the Beverly Hills real estate gossip grapevine that the cast of the upcoming and hotly anticipated Selling Los Angeles–a spin off of the Selling New York program on HGTV–includes (but is not limited to) Platinum Triangle heavy hitters Valerie Fitzgerald of Coldwell Banker and Hilton & Hyland's Mauricio Umansky, who many of the children know as the hunky huzband of Kyle Richards on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Selling NY is horrifying.

Selling LA is going to be super-triple horrifying.

Mauricio just appeared on Million Dollar Listing.

I am a fan of both............where else can one see a bicoastal horror show of deliciously bad plastic surgery in close-up? Those Kleier women have been badly reupholstered and I am sure that the LA counterparts will be good for a snipe as well.

Hey, I just clicked on that Umansky link and this guy looks like one of the realtors I saw on the new season of Million Dollar Listing..........perhaps that was his screen test.

selling ny is far better than million dollar listing - which is a total joke & is unwatchable and short on credible facts.

I love Selling NY ..After watching this show on HGTV all the other shows there seem so pedestrian...It is really all about the top of the line appliances,views.etc Pure high brow ultimate luxe real estate porn.

I note that Umansky has his hands posed in the "power" postion so beloved of...well.. poseurs.

Hopefully Selling Los Angeles will be a better quality show, real estate-wise, than MDL. I love MDL for the pure train wreck spectacle that it is, but it's way short on real estate factuality in a city that is quite interesting from that point of view.

Both Valerie Fitzgerald and Mauricio Umansky are actual hard working, long term top producing real estate agents with values. I am sure it will be long on phoniness, but hopefully it has some more interesting real estate tidbits.

I just looked at the houses these agents have listed in the area. No way Jen Aniston is ever going to get $42M for her house. I am now more convinced than ever she doesn't really want to sell her house.

Also, I'm reading Britney Spears didn't buy that big house afterall. Read she is renting it for $25,000 a month. Mama. you might need to check this out.

I notice on Maurizio's site, that he is offering for sale 50 Beverly Park. Isn't that the manse of fellow housewife Lisa Vanderpump? Where on earth are they moving to?

I had a wonderful suggestion for Valerie a couple years back after she tried to "slam me" into an escrow on my house for $2,650,000"when I knew it to be worth about 300,000 more. so, she advises "nothing has sold in that area for that price. meanwhile, my celebrity neighbor I happen to find out , valerie is agent on the deal, has her house in escrow for 5.5million. OH VALERIE. so I had advised Valerie that she should open a website called VIRTUAL VALERIE. its great cause she never has to even visit the house. She never once visited my house. just let her lackys do it. Valerie owes all shes got to her great people skills, right, hello, anyone ever heard of the old horn dog jack douglas.?Get a clue people, i have been in los angeles for 25yrs and like the entertainment bus. 90% of the agents in this town do the big numbers because of 1.who they slept with, 2, who they are married to 3.who their parents are. and if you push me , I can document it, which is why they all run and hide if they see me at an open house. I KNOW WHERE THE BODIES ARE BURIED. if paris hilton had not given away the family jewels on camera. do you really think maury baby would be selling many homes for rick hilton?oh, and that aunt, dont get me started on her, fame fame fame, anyway, valerie never used my idea, so its up for grabs
