Veteran Real Estate Pro Claims Reality TV Has 'Damaged' the Industry-as He Slams Shows for Turning 'Mediocre' Agents Into Stars
Briefly

Leonard Steinberg, a real estate expert at Compass, criticized reality TV for damaging the industry by elevating mediocre agents. While participating in a forum discussion with Eleonora Srugo, a star from Netflix's 'Selling the City,' he expressed concern that these shows provide a glamorized and inadequate image of the profession. Steinberg also highlighted the negative impact on female agents, stating that the portrayal in reality shows sets unrealistic standards based on appearance. In contrast, Srugo argued that her show has positively impacted deserving agents and followed her vision for authentic representation.
"Reality TV has made star agents out of agents who would have been mediocre. You are selling the world an inadequate image."
"If I was a woman I would feel extremely disappointed in it because it over-sexualizes the role of a professional."
