Ep 1. That's Not How Real Estate Works, Babe

That's Not How Real Estate Works, Babe is the first episode of season 1 of the reality TV show Risky Listing. The show follows real estate agents in New York City who specialize in selling high-end, luxurious properties to wealthy clients. In this episode, we are introduced to a group of agents who are all competing against each other to sell multi-million dollar properties in the city's most desirable neighborhoods.

The episode begins by introducing us to the agents and their respective companies. Among the agents are Shawn Elliot, who boasts a long list of high-profile clients, and Fredrik Eklund, who has a reputation for being a bit of a wild card. We also meet Tom Postilio and Mickey Conlon, who work together as a team.

The first property we see is a penthouse apartment in New York's trendy meatpacking district. The apartment is listed for $12 million and boasts stunning views of the city. Shawn Elliot has been tasked with selling the property, but he quickly discovers that the seller has unrealistic expectations when it comes to the property's value. The seller is hoping to make a quick profit on the apartment, but Shawn knows that the market simply won't support that kind of price tag. Despite his best efforts to convince the seller to lower the price, Shawn ultimately loses the listing.

Meanwhile, Fredrik Eklund is busy trying to sell a stunning townhouse in Greenwich Village. The property is listed for $20 million and features five floors of luxurious living space. Fredrik is confident that he can find the right buyer for the property, but he quickly realizes that he may have underestimated the challenges of marketing such a high-end property. Despite his best efforts to promote the property to potential buyers, Fredrik struggles to generate interest.

At the same time, Tom and Mickey are working together to sell a sprawling apartment in the Time Warner Center. The property is listed for $25 million and offers panoramic views of Central Park. The apartment has been on the market for several months, and Tom and Mickey are starting to feel the pressure to make a sale. They decide to host an exclusive party in the apartment to attract potential buyers, but the event doesn't go quite as planned. Despite the fact that they are able to generate some interest in the property, Tom and Mickey don't end up finding a buyer at the party.

As the episode progresses, we see each of the agents facing their own unique challenges. Shawn Elliot's frustration with the seller of the meatpacking penthouse continues to mount, while Fredrik Eklund struggles to find the right buyer for the Greenwich Village townhouse. Tom and Mickey continue to search for a buyer for the Time Warner Center apartment, but it seems that the property may be a bit out of reach for most buyers.

Overall, That's Not How Real Estate Works, Babe sets the stage for what promises to be an exciting season of Risky Listing. From the luxury properties to the cutthroat competition, this show offers a glimpse into the glamorous and high-stakes world of New York City real estate.
