Ryan Srant Coming to Netflix! The real estate mogul has partnered with the streaming service to bring an exciting new series to the platform. Owning Manhattan, which is set to premiere on Friday, June 28, focuses on a group of talented and ambitious agents at Ryan’s New York City Serhant brokerage firm. The series is the first New York City real estate show on the platform.
In the trailer released earlier this month, viewers got a glimpse of the fast-paced lifestyle that characterizes Serhant’s brokerage firm. “If you can’t sell, you can’t be here,” Ryan says in his confessional.
Reality Tea got a chance to chat with Ryan about the series ahead of Friday’s premiere. Here’s all he had to say…
What can viewers expect from Owning Manhattan on Netflix?
In our interview, Ryan teased the dynamic first season, telling us that drama will be abundant.
“[It is] The craziest real estate you’ve ever seen. The most drama I’ve ever seen in a workplace reality TV show. It’s probably the best real estate offer you’ve ever seen.
Viewers got an inside look at one of the show’s luxury properties in the trailer. Ryan brought a group of agents to the “world’s most expensive apartment,” selling it for $250 million. The Bravo star motivated his staff by revealing that the agent who sells the property will get $10 million.
New York City has a reputation for being expensive. In September 2023, lifestyle website Elite Traveler ranked New York City as one of the most desirable real estate markets in the world. Viewers can expect to see some luxury properties on display this season.
What’s it like being your own boss?
Owning Manhattan is about Ryan going out on his own and creating his own company. We asked him about the benefits and risks of being your own boss.
“The best part about it is I can do what I want anytime I want,” he said. “The worst is that I can’t really do anything I want because everyone is depending on me now. It’s hard.”
Although this job may not be easy, it seems natural for the former Bravo star. And the cast of Owning Manhattan didn’t have any kind words for his leadership in our exclusive interview.
“He’s the best person you’ll ever work with,” said agent Chloe Tucker Cain, who has been with Ryan since Serhant’s inception. “I couldn’t have asked for a better principal and teacher.”
What makes someone a successful agent?
Ryan knows the real estate business by heart, so we were curious to know what makes someone successful at selling real estate.
“They have to have a really strong sense of empathy,” he said. “They have to have amazing enthusiasm. You have to pick yourself up from being down every day in this business. You have to keep yourself going. It’s tough. You work 18 hours a day, seven days a week. There’s no pay, there’s no benefits. You have to You eat what you kill, so you should be able to stay active no matter what.
What makes Netflix’s ownership of Manhattan unique?
Ryan is no stranger to the world of reality television. He has appeared on several Bravo shows, including Million Dollar Listing, Sell Out Like Serhant, and Ryan’s Renovation. We talked to him about how Owning Manhattan stands out from other real estate shows.
“For one thing, it’s the only New York City real estate show that’s broadcast on TV anywhere in the world. It’s also Netflix’s first real estate show in New York.
He talked about how being a producer on Owning Manhattan gave him more breathing room to tell the story in a unique way.
“This is my fifth reality show. The first four were with Bravo. I have a lot of things to do [on this show] As a producer, which I was never able to do with Bravo. “This show is told from top to bottom. It’s told in Netflix style. There it is [are] Eight episodes, but it’s like watching a documentary. Amazing thing. It’s really cool.
Owning Manhattan will be available to stream on Netflix starting June 28.
