Nine-figure listings, brutal sales quotas, and a boss who treats closing deals like a blood sport: that's the daily churn inside Owning Manhattan, the 2024 reality series following Ryan Serhant's real estate firm.
What is Owning Manhattan about?
The show plants its cameras inside SERHANT, the brokerage Ryan Serhant built after leaving a rival firm to prove he could run the operation his own way. Each episode tracks agents chasing listings across Manhattan's priciest blocks, from penthouse showings to the kind of client tantrums that come with eight-figure budgets. Serhant pushes his team hard, rewarding closers and publicly needling anyone who falls behind, which turns the office itself into as much of a battleground as any open house. Rivalries between agents simmer under the surface of every deal, and the series doesn't shy away from showing colleagues undercutting one another to land a commission. What separates it from other real estate reality shows is the sheer scale of the properties on screen, apartments and townhouses priced well beyond what most viewers will ever see in person, paired with an unusually candid look at how much pressure sits behind a single signed contract.
Cast & crew
Ryan Serhant, already known from Bravo's Million Dollar Listing New York, headlines as both star and boss, with Brittany Agnew directing the series' look at his agency's inner workings. The rotating cast of SERHANT agents supplies most of the show's interpersonal drama.
Context & significance
Owning Manhattan arrived as Serhant's own network expanded beyond brokerage into media and coaching, and the series doubles as a showcase for that broader brand. It sits within the wider wave of luxury real estate reality television but distinguishes itself by focusing on one firm's internal culture rather than a rotating cast of independent agents.
Where & how to watch
Owning Manhattan is available on K-Time with a free account login, with a Farsi-language interface and Persian dubbing and subtitles for viewers who prefer to watch in Persian.
