The parents' guide to what's in this TV show.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Buying Beverly Hills is a real estate-focused unscripted (but contrived) series featuring secondary cast members of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. There's lots of cursing, as well some catty arguing and occasional strong innuendo. There's also lots of high-end logos (Gucci, Chanel, etc.) visible, and Apple computers are prominently shown. Drinking (wine, cocktails, champagne) is also visible over meals, during receptions, etc. The overall series is a promotional vehicle for the real estate company The Agency.

What's the Story?
BUYING BEVERLY HILLS is a reality series that follows a real estate agency that specializes in high-end sales. The Agency was founded by Mauricio Umansky, the husband of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Kyle Richards, and it's now a lucrative business with a high-energy team committed to earning big commissions. Among them are veteran agents like Allie Lutz and Ben Belack, and junior agents like former American Idol contestant Sonika Vaid. Rounding out the group are senior agent Farrah and junior agent Alexia, who happen to be Umansky's daughters. Mixing family and business isn't easy, especially when people judge them based on the fact that they're the CEO's daughters. But even they aren't immune to the workplace drama that transpires between all the competitive agents, and on occasion, their clients.
Is It Any Good?
The reality real estate show will feel familiar, featuring extremely expensive properties, flashy cars, and contrived moments. Adding to this is the fact that it stars Mauricio Umansky and his daughters, all of who have appeared on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. While this adds a mildly unique twist to the series, Buying Beverly Hills still offers lots of expected interpersonal conflicts as team members spar over previous office romances, make fun of their mentors, and work hard to please their clients and their boss by closing a sale. If you like this sort of unscripted entertainment, or if you're a RHOBH fan, chances are you'll find it entertaining.
