Think the ‘Real Housewives’ are double-dealing vicious backstabbers? Meet the cut-throat realtors of ‘Selling the Hamptons’

nypost.com:

“Selling The Hamptons” reality show, whose second season premiered on Max on March 1. The series portrays the cutthroat agents going head-to-head to sell luxury homes in a world where the stakes are high, the inventory is low and the Whispering Angel rosé is free-flowing. “Everyone tries to go after everyone’s listings because it’s such a small, close-knit community – there’s more brokers than there are sellers,” Zabakolas, 37, told The Post. “Everyone aggressively tries to get what they can.”Nest Seeker Bianca D’Alessio told The Post that she spends big on marketing and other expenses — between $20,000 and $50,000 for residences and $200,000 for developments — to do her job effectively.

Some of of it is covered by the agency, but some comes out of her own pocket. “I spend more money on marketing than any other broker in the market,” she boasted.Expenses might include luxury accommodations, transportation from the city and private chef dinners — all for prospective buyers that are heavily courted.

D’Alessio, 31, is known for her self-described “white glove” service. She’ll arrange to pick up potential buyers from their homes in the city in a private car service to shuttle them out East, letting them spend the night in the property or arranging for a stay at five-star hotels such as Topping Rose House in Bridgehampton.

She even goes as far as putting together an itinerary of restaurants — favorites include Jean-Georges at Topping Rose House and Le Bilboquet on the waterfront in Sag Harbor — for clients to check out.
