Meet the cast of Netflix reality show Selling Sunset
Everything you need to know about the high-end estate agents who are the stars of the reality series.
The latest season of Selling Sunset has finally arrived on our screens and those who've already managed to binge the new episodes will know that it was well worth the wait.
With Chrishell and Jason now an official couple and Christine making a new friend in estate agent Chelsea Lazkani, it's safe to say that tensions are high at the Oppenheim Group.
Those who've made it all the way to the end of the season will know that a few of the OG agents are thinking of leaving, including Christine Quinn whose drama-causing antics could be the preamble for her quitting the show.
Meanwhile, Davina seems to be on thin ice after being given a "last chance" to sell a $75 million home, and as for Christine and Heather, season 5 sees the pair clash yet again – this time over Heather's bridal shower.
Read on for everything you need to know about the Selling Sunset cast – including whether there'll be back for season 6, or check out our guides to how much the Selling Sunset agents make and whether Selling Sunset is real or scripted.

It's currently unclear whether Vanessa will be back for season 6 as throughout the current season, she's been torn about being in a long-distance relationship with her British boyfriend Nick and unsure whether real estate is really for her.

She further entered the spotlight in 2017 when she married This Is Us star Justin Hartley, although unfortunately the marriage didn't work out - Chrishell's divorce and the aftermath were the focus of season 3, and she later went on to date none other than Jason Oppenheim, although they also went their separate ways in December 2021.
Christine Quinn

Net worth: estimated $500,000 (£380,000)

In season 2 of the show she introduced her new fiancé, Christian Richard, and season 3 shows her wedding, which took place in 2019, and was "the craziest thing", according to Jason Oppenheim.
While Christine has been with the show since its very first season, it's rumoured that she could be leaving, as in episode 9 of season 5, she tells Chelsea that she's considering leaving to get her brokers license and work for herself. Meanwhile, Jason and Mary call her in for a chat after Emma accuses her of paying a client not to work with her.

Maya's work in the real estate world is not limited to her career at The Oppenheim Group - she spends half her time in Florida working for Douglas Elliman. Maya has two children, a boy and a girl, with her husband, and has become popular with Selling Sunset fans for her no-nonsense approach to her job.
The estate agent has been a cast member on Selling Sunset since its very first episode and will feature in season 5, although she recently announced the tragic news that she had suffered a stillbirth at 38 weeks, so it remains to be seen how much involvement she has. At the end of season 5, the agency holds a going away party for Maya, who plans on "slowing down" and staying in Miami to focus on her family and work over there.

Heather Rae Young
Age: 32

Net worth: estimated $1 million (£760,000)
