Million Dollar Listing: NYC

Team Serhant hosts private showings for an Australian buyer who has never visited New York. Despite never having set foot in the city, he is prepared to purchase property over FaceTime and finalise the transaction remotely, provided Ryan can meet his demands.

Virtual Insanity is a programme presented in an episode format, centred on the activities of Team Serhant. The series follows the team as they navigate high‑stakes property transactions, often employing unconventional methods to close deals. Each instalment offers a glimpse into the inner workings of the real‑estate business, with a focus on the personalities that drive the operation. In this particular episode, Team Serhant arranges exclusive, private viewings for a prospective buyer based in Australia. The client has never set foot in New York, yet he is prepared to finalise a purchase remotely, relying on FaceTime to view the properties. The negotiation hinges on whether Ryan can satisfy the buyer’s specific conditions, as the deal will only proceed if his demands are met. The Australian purchaser’s willingness to commit without a physical visit underscores the increasingly digital nature of modern real‑estate dealings. By leveraging video‑call technology, the team is able to showcase New York properties to an overseas client in real time, bridging the geographical gap that traditionally limited such transactions. Ultimately, the episode highlights the flexibility required of agents like Ryan, who must adapt to remote buying scenarios while ensuring the buyer’s criteria are fulfilled. The private showings and the FaceTime‑based negotiation form the core of the narrative, illustrating how Team Serhant manages cross‑continental interest in the city’s property market.
