'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."

While we eagerly wait for the show to air, let's take a look at one of its newest members Emma Hernan, who is geared up to add a little spice and glamor to the reality show.
