Josh and Heather Altman have made their last deal on “Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles.”
After 14 years and 12 seasons, the celebrity broker couple have left the popular reality TV show centered on luxury homes and those who sell them, People and TMZ reported.
The co-founder of Douglas Elliman’s The Altman Brothers Team and his wife most recently starred alongside friends and rivals Josh Flagg and Tracy Tutor on the long-running Bravo series. They chose to leave the show at the end of season 15, which aired this summer.
Josh and Heather Altman have been main cast members since at least season four, and were among the only three remaining stars alongside Flagg and Tutor. Heather joined in season three, in 2008.
Since then, they’ve sold more than $7 billion worth of real estate while on television.
Altman said his exit has “nothing to do with relationships on the show,” referring to tensions between he and co-star Flagg seen in the most recent season.
He said leaving had more to do with his relationship to his wife and children. Josh and Heather Altman have wheeled and dealed as West Coast real estate agents on the 17-year-old Bravo TV show — even getting married on set in 2016.
“We’re just at that point in our lives where our family comes first and our kids are growing up so fast,” Altman told People. “We just have to cherish every moment and take it in.
“We’ve done it,” he said of the show. “My wife’s been on that show since she was 20 years old. I’ve been on that show since I was almost a new real estate agent. We are different people than when we started the show. We were babies when we started the show. It’s time to kind of close that chapter.”
The new chapter may be aimed more at Orange County, where the Altmans bought a five-bedroom waterfront house in Newport Beach in March of last year.
In August, the Altmans debuted their Corona del Mar agency flagship office, which Josh Altman said was expected to eventually generate $1 billion annually in sales.
“One hundred percent we’ll match L.A. and potentially exceed it,” Altman told The Real Deal at the time. “The agents that we have very selectively and slowly brought to be part of the team, everybody brings so much Orange County history, knowledge and skill.”
Aside from L.A. and Corona del Mar, the Altman Brothers have offices in Scottsdale, San Diego and Las Vegas.
