The Selling the City cast members have nothing to hide when it comes to the legitimacy of their craft.

While the Selling Sunset spinoff, which debuted on Netflix on Jan. 3, sees plenty of drama, Eleonora Srugo, Abigail Godfrey, Gisselle Meneses Nunez, Jade Chan, Jordyn Taylor Braff, Justin Tuinstra, Taylor Middleton Scavo and Steve Gold are all licensed professionals when it comes to real estate. The docusoap follows Srugo’s “no-nonsense, kicka–” agents as pave their way in the “cutthroat world” of New York City luxury real estate, per Netflix.

Sans for Gold, who works as an associate broker for The Corcoran Group, the cast works for Douglas Elliman. The brokerage boasts well-known agents such as Million Dollar Listing’s Fredrik Eklund, Josh Altman, Tracy Tutor, Kirsten Jordan, and previously, Josh Flagg, who shaded Selling Sunset’s agents in July 2024, insinuating on Watch What Happens Live that their careers weren’t legitimate. “I only like to watch licensed real estate brokers. How ‘bout them apples?” he said at the time.

Srugo, who leads a team of at least nine, including Godfrey, Braff, Meneses Nunez and Middleton Scavo, spoke to Tudum about the differences between her New York-based team and the California-based ones from Selling Sunset and Selling the OC.

“I have a lot of respect for those guys and what they’ve built,” she said of The Oppenheim Group. “But this is a little different. We’re a little grittier, and a woman is leading the team. The city also takes everything to another level. There’s a really high barrier to entry in this market, and it makes it extraordinarily competitive.”

According to the New York City license management system, the entire cast of Selling the City has active real estate licenses as salespeople, or, in Gold’s case, as an assistant broker.

From their current real estate license statuses to their side businesses, here’s everything to know about the professional lives of the Selling the City cast. 

Are the Selling the City cast members licensed real estate agents? 

All of the main cast members of Selling the City are real agents who have obtained their real estate licenses. What’s more, they’ve kept them up to date with the state of New York.

Team leader Eleonora Srugo’s salesperson license is good through March 2026 per the official eAccessNY license management system. While it’s unclear when she received her license, she’s been with Douglas Elliman for more than 15 years, according to her LinkedIn. In 2023, she had the company’s top sale of the year at more than $75 million and was ranked the top individual real estate agent.

Jordyn Taylor Braff, who is licensed through November 2025, is a bi-coastal member of Srugo’s team, doing business in both New York City and Los Angeles.

According to her LinkedIn page, Taylor Middleton Scavo, who is licensed as Katherine Middleton through March 2026, has been working in real estate since at least 2013. Prior to joining Srugo’s team, Middleton Scavo was a member of Serhant, the Ryan Serhant-owned agency featured on Owning Manhattan. She has sales upward of $500 million and had a recent deal for $1.2 million in December 2024, per StreetEasy.

Sales agent Abigail Godfrey has an active real estate license that won’t expire until November 2026 and closed a $1.7 million dollar deal on a NoMad Manhattan condo in June 2023.

Per her LinkedIn, Meneses Nunez has been working in real estate since 2021 and joined the Douglas Elliman brokerage in 2022. She is licensed through February 2026.

A top 3 percent performer at Douglas Elliman, Chan got her start on the administrative side in 2013, working her way up to become the brokerage’s director of sales. A former public relations specialist, she has an active real estate license, which is good through April 2026. According to her company profile, she manages a portfolio of more than $2 billion. In November 2024, she sold a $22 million condo in Midtown Manhattan.

According to LinkedIn, Justin Tuinstra has been at the brokerage for nearly 20 years. He earned his license (active through May 2026) and joined the team in 2008. He now oversees his own team of 10 and has sold more than $500 million in sales during his time at Douglas Elliman. In December 2024, he sold a $3.25 million condo in Morningside Heights.

Finally, there’s Million Dollar Listing star and former vice president at Douglas Elliman Steve Gold, who now works for the Barbara Corcoran-founded real estate brokerage The Corcoran Group. Licensed as an active associate broker under the name Steven W. Gold through July 2026, the dad of two‘s sales have exceeded $3 billion, according to his Corcoran profile, and he sold a $10 million-plus condo in December 2024 per StreetEasy.

What other businesses do the Selling the City cast members have?

Like the Selling Sunset agents, several of the Selling the City stars are involved in other endeavors beyond real estate.

Srugo is involved in mentoring, having founded her high school’s own program, the Stuyvesant High School mentoring program, at 26. “It’s something that’s deeply important to me because it represents some of the lowest income students in the city,” she told Tudum.

In 2019, Taylor Braff founded 12 Months of Giving, currently on hiatus, a foundation that spotlights other global foundations working for positive change. She is also an ambassador for the nonprofit organization Room to Grow, which provides low-income families with parenting support and baby and toddler essentials.

Godfrey is also involved in philanthropy. She and he husband, Pat Godfrey, co-run the Elite V Football Showcase with About U Outreach, which offers college recruitment opportunities to under-represented high school athletes in New York.

Middleton Scavo, meanwhile, serves as a national advisory board member for Harpeth Hall School, from which she graduated, and the benefit committee for The Bone Marrow & Cancer Foundation.
