The Oppenheim Group looks like a fun and fabulous place to work, and it's no wonder that cameras have followed their real estate agents around for several seasons of Selling Sunset. The hit Netflix reality series features the big personalities that fans of the genre expect to watch and since everyone is selling million-dollar properties, the tension is always high.
Whether Christine Quinn is sharing her thoughts about Chrishell Stause joining the agency, or Jason Oppenheim and Mary Fitzgerald are joking around, every season of Selling Sunset has some funny and compelling quotes.
“She can sit on the floor until she proves herself."
Christine's best Selling Sunset moments often included her fights with Chrishell. In the pilot episode, the Oppenheim Group employees were introduced to Chrishell, who had just joined.
Right away, Christine proved that she wasn't going to play nice just because Chrishell was new, and she shared that she didn't even think that Chrishell needed her own desk, let alone a chair. Viewers know that Christine is strong and tough, and with this quote, she showed that she wasn't going to let someone new steal her thunder at work or otherwise.
"I'm not afraid to get down and dirty. It's honestly not always glamorous."
Maya Vander said this great quote in the pilot, as she let viewers know that she enjoyed being hands-on with her job. Over the show's three seasons, Maya learned more about working with property development.
In this scene from the very first episode, Maya visited a construction site and explained her passion for the work. Fans loved Maya's storylines, especially when she talked about being pregnant and juggling family life with her career. In contrast to some other quotes on the reality show, whenever Maya spoke, she was proud and confident but also kind.
"Food and Botox. I mean come on. I'm genius."
Christine hosted a "Burgers and Botox" party to show off a gorgeous property, and she was definitely thrilled with her idea. Her co-workers thought it was perfectly Christine and while some people seemed a bit confused, no one says no to a fun, fancy gathering.
Whenever Christine speaks on Selling Sunset, she shows off her big, bold, secure personality, and this is a perfect example of how much self-love and self-confidence she has. Sometimes this is Christine's flaw as she can be mean to others, but other times, it's a reminder to feel pride about a job well done.
"People behaved themselves."
Mary and Chrishell are two of the most likable Selling Sunset cast members, and the friendship that developed between them is one of the sweetest parts of the show so far.
This quote from Chrishell is from a season 3 premiere scene when Mary, Chrishell, and Amanza Smith talked about Romain Romain Bonnet and Mary's wedding. Chrishell smiled and said that there was no major conflict or drama at the celebration, which is definitely no small feat for a reality show.
"Christine always talks about being loyal, loyalty to friends. I'll show you loyalty."
Fans got to know Amanza in season 2, learning about her devotion to being a good mom to her kids and starting to sell real estate after being a stager. Amanza also deals with an ongoing personal tragedy as her ex-husband is missing.
With her smart Selling Sunset quote, Amanza was expressing her frustration over discussions of being a good, loyal friend. This is a common theme on reality shows as cast members often accuse each other of not being loving, compassionate, or supportive.
"Have you ever been knocked over by a wave and you don't know which way to swim to get up?"
In the season 3 episode "One Text Changes Everything," the agents talked a lot about Chrishell's divorce, as they were amazed by how fast it happened. Chrishell said this quote when she explained to Mary how lost and miserable she felt.
Chrishell didn't know that Justin Hartley was going to file for divorce, and it was upsetting watching her cope with the aftermath of this choice. Suddenly, her life had changed, and since she hadn't made the decision, she felt blindsided.
"How do you feel about the ring being Moissanite or not a real diamond?"
Davina Potratz upset Mary by mentioning that her engagement ring wasn't a real diamond, and Mary was shocked and upset to hear this comment.
Selling Sunset is a bingeworthy Netflix reality series thanks to moments like this one that are surprising and impactful. Mary definitely didn't expect her friends and co-workers to judge her ring or say anything other than "congrats." Even when celebrating big life events like engagements and weddings, the cast can't seem to help getting into arguments on a regular basis.
"Oh, he definitely has a better attendance record."
In the season 3 finale "A Not So White Wedding," Jason and Mary were joking around about Niko, the dog they share, and saying that Brett didn't spend much time in the office.
This was a fun moment since the stakes are so high on this show and the tension is often so thick in the office. With so much money on the line, the agents do their best to stay cool and calm, but it's clear that the pressures of the job do get to them sometimes. Jason and Mary used to date and now they have a strong friendship, and their interactions have always been heartwarming and charming.
"This is a make or break deal. We're taking about a million dollar commission here."
When comparing Selling Sunset and Million Dollar Listing, they both involve million-dollar properties, and one of the most memorable Selling Sunset moments is when the agents competed to sell a $40 million house.
Christine explained that the lucky agent would make $1 million if they made the deal, which is a wild amount of money to consider. The competition ended when Jason sold the property, but the dramatic impact of this deal lives on, as fans look forward to seeing more amazing, pricey properties on future episodes.
"Amanza, she might have broken your record."
Christine's wedding was filmed as part of the season 3 finale, and when the ceremony started two hours after its supposed start time, Mary joked about Christine being later than Amanza usually was.
While Mary was being playful, this was a tough subject to talk about. Amanza was often late for work-related appointments, but she explained that her situation with her ex has been really difficult and sad, and she always has good intentions.
