Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 13–16

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Sends the message that it's important to work hard, but also to be above board when dealing with clients. If you're greedy or deceptive, it will come back to haunt you. That said, the realtors can be a bit cut-throat (even underhanded) in order to make a deal.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    In one episode, an open house guest shows up with her very large, fake breasts popping out of her skimpy shirt.
  • Language:

    "Pissed off" is about as bad as it gets.
  • Consumerism:

    The logos of the firms the brokers work for are on full display. The world of high-end realty is innately materialistic, and these brokers are no exception.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Social drinking, often to celebrate a transaction.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Million Dollar Listing

Parents need to know that since the subjects of this show are realtors who sell high-end homes, they're often all business. That means that they look out primarily for themselves and their clients and can be cut-throat during negotiations. Some will even be a bit underhanded to get the most commission out of a sale.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about careers in sales. How does a commission-based job work? What's it like to be your own boss? What are the rewards and drawbacks associated with working for yourself? Families can also talk about real estate. Are the properties showcased in this series worth their price? Why do similar-sized houses in different parts of the country often have such disparate prices? Why do people pay so much more than a house is actually worth to live in a particular place?

    I rate this title off for age 11 and give it 3.0

    Addictive...

    This is a great show featuring three real estate agents under the age of thirty. The properties are absoulety gorgeous. There are a few brief words and some skimpy tops (and characters with fake breasts) as well as discussion of the men's (homosexual and straight) relationships. Nothing too bad. Teens+
