'Sunset Selling', Netflix's drama-driven realtor-based reality show is all about sass, money, and the history of relationships. It revolves around a group of brokers that try and compete with each other to sell some of LA's top houses worth millions. The original synopsis of the show says: "The elite agents at The Oppenheim Group sell the luxe life to affluent buyers in LA. Relationships are everything, and that often means major drama."
