Million Dollar Listing New York: Ryan Has Two Daddies

Million dollar listing Luis

Luis

Luis has gone to Puerto Rico where he is from to help a client looking for beach property. Since he is not licensed in Puerto Rico, he will not be paid. But he will get to visit his Mama! Puerto Rico looks gorgeous!

Luis takes his clients to the St. Regis resort. The clients are looking for something bigger. They get out of the resort and into a nice villa. Still too small.  So Luis takes them to a $4.1 million dollar mega villa. It’s four times their budget. The wife wants the villa the husband says it way to much.

Luis meets with the only girlfriend he’s ever had. The relationship was very volatile and ended badly. He clearly still loves her and wants some closure. The go on a romantic boat ride to talk. Luis cries. He feels like he lost himself in his relationship with her, and he is afraid to have another relationship. Luis wants to be friends with Fioella forever.

Luis goes golfing with his clients.  Later he takes them out to wine and dine them. He is really working hard for this client, for free!  While they are out dancing in a bar, the husband and wife get into an argument. The wife wants the biggest house and the husband says it’s too much. The wife wants to forget the whole thing.

Million Dollar Listing New York - Season 3Fredrik

Fredrik’s seller who had the unqualified buyer fall through on the last episode, has decided to rent it rather than renovate it. This seems like a dumb move to me. On to the next listing. This place is drop dead gorgeous. It should be because the guy just spent three million dollars on renovations. Does that “infinite fireplace” think have a flue or chimney of some sort? It’s interesting, but it just seem sort of like a lot of fire in the middle of a room on a counter top. His client Steve is a bit eccentric. There is 2,500 square feet of outdoor terrace.  They agree to list at $15 million.

Fredrik is holding an exclusive brokers open with champagne, escargot and caviar. He gets an offer for $13 million. This doesn’t give the seller much profit at all for all his renovations. Fredrik is still showing the listing to brokers. The broker with the buyer is there seeing all of the interest. The buyer offers $14.5 best and final. Fredrik has to get his seller to go down half a million dollars. With a bit of smooth talking he gets the sale, and a commission of nearly $5 million.

Ryan

Ryan meets with Emilia to try to get out of the doghouse with her. Ryan says living in NYC has made him mean. Ryan can’t talk about himself easily. He tries to share a story about his two fathers. Apparently, he was adopted and met his bio dad in the fourth grade. He loved his bio dad who was a lot like him. He took him on trips to Italy and to the movies. He was very conflicted about having a relationship with both his parents and his bio dad. How long have these people been dating and this has never come up? Apparently, a touching childhood story is all it took for Emilia to forgive his extreme doucheiness. Does anyone really believe Ryan has difficulty talking about himself?

Ryan has a listing appointment. It’s a great location but it’s very 1980s. It’s one of those narrow five floor townhouses kind of like Sonja Morgan’s house. The house has a tenant for the bottom two floors with a separate entrance. The tenants pay $15K. They have a lease through 2050!!!  They list the house at $7.5 million.

Ryan holds some sort of weird 80s party for his open house. He arrives in one of those Back to the Future cars (DeLorean?) and dressed like Austin Powers. Oh, Ryan. As usual his weird open house produced a lot of interest. Ryan got a full ask offer in six days. So now the client thinks it was underpriced and he wants him to get him more.  Again, Ryan fucked up. The original offer was $7.1 million and he did not present that to the seller. He made it look too easy to get the $7.5. Eventually, the guy accepts the offer.

    I don’t know what to make of Ryan. Douchebag? Absolutely. He speaks about himself openly, and with only the highest of regard (haha). Perhaps it really is difficult for him to reveal the cracks in his foundation? But, NYC doesn’t harden people. I DO think that one might have to sell a little bit of their soul to play in the High Roller Real Estate Club IN NYC. But, who knows? He could just be a douchebag.

    I think for me, what made Ryan seem more sympathetic was when hurricane Sandy attacked and he was really all alone. Yes, I know he’s an actor but when he got a little teary eyed, because he had no one, I believed him. It seemed genuine. Luis had his twin, Fredrik had his hubby and his dad. Ryan only had work and that came to a stand still because of Sandy. I wonder if anyone really cares about Ryan, including Emilia. He ended up leaving the city to be with his parents because no one in the city even called him back.

      OMG that was so sad. When he was sitting on those steps of that building, realizing he had no one and no where to go, I cried my eyes out. I didn’t think he was a jerk back then. Actually he was my fave that season. That was so sad, and scary. Made me want to call and my friends and family!

        I know. I just hope he can keep looking like a real human person, but we’ll see.

    I am in love with the homes that are showcased in this show.
    Ryan does talk about his things, his home sale deals and so on. I do think it’s difficult for him to share his emotional self. He has the tendency to be mean but I think recently he is beginning to know that and doesn’t like it in himself. Time will tell.

    I think Ryan speaks easily about himself when it comes to certain things, like his job and money. I bet he does have a hard time really opening up. He’s a good actor though so I’m sure what we saw was for the show. I’m still not a fan.

    I had to agree with Luis’ male client. They’re getting a vacation home, not a full time home so there’s no need to get the uber large house. Since Luis wasn’t getting a commission his time wasn’t wasted. Even if he had been getting one and lost it, he was at home and could see his family and friends for the first time in two years.

    Love love love Fredrik’s deals. He’s direct when he needs to be and most of the clients listen to him.

    I don’t know why…But I find these guys so charming! They are all so like able in their own way. The Housewives franchise is getting a little dark for me…These guys always make me smile. Being a native born Californian, I loved Ryan saying, “Stupid beach…Stupid Kale…”

      Haha, Ryan’s SoCal rant broke me up too. I was born and grew up in the Bay Area so I grew up with a whole region of people who eye rolled about LA.

    I have a problem with Luis statement saying he has not been intimate with a woman since his girlfriend in puerto Rico. Once you have sex it’s no turning back. What is he doing, masterbating or getting a prostitute?

      Aren’t you a man? The fact that this concerns you is… odd

        Both the commenter and Luis might be homosexuals…

      In Luis’s first season on the show there was a blonde head in his bed in one of the scenes. I’m wondering it it wasn’t this girl. Anyway it takes a helluvalot of relentless focus to climb from janitor to where he is now and to Luis intimacy—I’m talking the real thing, and considering how up front Luis is emotionally once he decides to go for it I don’t think he’d be the kind of guy who’s into emotionally disconnected relationships—might mean something different than a simple euphemism for sex.

    I love this show. Its a nice change from all the Housewives shows and the constantly fighting and cattiness. I love love love Luis, he seems like such a sweetheart.

    I felt like the whole Puerto rico buying trip was scripted for the show. Hey, Bravo picks up the tab for the trip, Luis gets to show off the island and see mama. The teary closure rowboat scene was a bit odd. And surprise! The fake property buying trip ended up in a stalemate between husband and wife. (I believe Luis mentioned the rich clients had never been to PR. Who decides to buy a house on an island they have not spent some time on?)

      Where can I get a job that pays for me to go to Puerto Rico? The gang from RHOBH got to go also. Bravo, any job openings?

    I looooove Luis! Adorable. But he’s almost too much. Like if something can possibly go wrong for him, it will. You can bet the house on it. Poor little bambino (or however you say baby in Spanish… nino?).

    I. Can. Not. Stand. Ryan. I almost disliked him slightly less when I thought 2 dads meant he had gay parents, but alas, that was not the case. It was nice to get to know some of his back story though.

    Fredrik is king.

    Fredrik is king, but I kinda like Ryan, a lot. Don’t ask me to explain this, but I feel sorry for him. Luis is a little much, but he works his ass off. I’m loving this show.
