TV show to feature agents selling ‘super houses’ and… Boy George
Described as a mash-up of The Apprentice and Selling Sunset eight agents will be competing for a job at Paul Kemsley’s exclusive property agency RIB.
New Channel 4 show Selling Super Houses starts on Tuesday next week and features eight aspiring agents as they compete for a job of a lifetime – a role as a super prime estate agent within Paul Kemsley’s property agency, Robert Irving Burns (RIB)
Kemsley (main picture, middle), nicknamed PK, is a London-born property magnate and has returned from Beverly Hills to London with one mission in mind – to take over the capital’s super prime property market with the help of some new agents.
SELLING SUPER HOUSES
In Selling Super Houses, described as a mash-up of The Apprentice and Selling Sunset, the agents will be trying to showcase and sell super prime properties for PK at RIB.
Viewers are promised multi-million-pound luxury properties and cutthroat competition and Episode 1, which airs on Tuesday August 29 at 9pm on Channel 4, doesn’t disappoint with the eight hopeful agents challenged to host an open house event at a £20million property.
The results are somewhat mixed. So in Episode 2, which airs on Tuesday September 5 at 9pm on Channel 4, PK decides to give all eight a second chance to prove themselves – conducting a house tour at a celebrity mansion.
Unbeknown to the trainees, the owner of the mansion in Hampstead is music legend Boy George and he’s got some very interesting house rules that all the trainees must abide by…
And to top the challenge off, PK’s wife Dorit Kemsley – a Real Housewife of Beverley Hills – has flown over to join Boy George in the judging of the house tours and after some tough feedback, the first trainee is asked to leave the competition.
BEST THING
Colin Horton, a Southend-based property surveyor, is one of the eight agents taking part and admitted to the Basildon Canvey Island Echo that it is the “best thing” that he has ever done.
The property surveyor, who grew up in Southchurch, is the co-founder of Project & Co, based in Wickford, as well as Westcliff firms Leasehold Social and Hortons Valuers.
He told the Echo: “I’m going up against the crème de la crème of property professionals across the country competing for this job at this luxury estate agency through a series of tasks in London and neighbouring counties.
“We filmed it last May and although I can’t say too much, it’s easily the best thing I’ve ever done.”
