From the December issue: If the casting for season two of HGTV’s “Selling New York” is to be
believed, experienced actors, singers and models have an inside edge on
the popular real estate-themed reality show.
Producers went on the hunt for more brokers in the spring, choosing,
so far, three Warburg Realty brokers (along with company president
Frederick Peters) to join colleagues from Core and Gumley Haft Kleier.
During her audition, Warburg broker Leslie Rosenthal broke into an impromptu “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”
“The performance aspect definitely intrigued them,” said Rosenthal,
who was an actor and singer before she started selling homes. “They
wanted people who are natural, who wouldn’t get intimidated by the
process, and who can do the takes, too.” [more]
