Two Teas in a Pod with Teddy Mellancamps and camera judge. Here we are again for another episode of Two Teas in a Pod with myself, Teddy Mellencamp and yours. Truly, we have on a very special guest today, and one I realize that I look like crocodile dundee out in the wilderness right now, like and I'm getting eaten alive. But the things that I'll do for the pod. But we have Mauricio Yumansky coming on today. He is not only one of my best friend's husbands, Kyle Richards, but he's also a real estate mogul, longtime fan favorite of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and he has his own series on Netflix called Buying Beverly Hills, which inspires budding entrepreneurs and self starters of all different backgrounds and strategies to find success for work. He also has a new book coming out called The deal Maker available April eleventh, and lots of other friends chaps. So we are going to ask him all the business related stuff, but then also the all the juice that we want to hear as well. So I have my real estate questions all written out right here because I have a real estate license, so I need to know what's going on in this market. But I do need to know before we even bring him in, because I do see him here in the waiting area. Are you going to ask the question that we all want to know? Is he on ozempic? Yeah? Start it started with that. I bet he doesn't even know what it is. Okay, Oh, I bet he does. Let's see. All right, let's go ahead and bring Racio in. What up? Girls, Thanks for being here with us. We see you are on the tour today, right the president. I saw you on Instagram already. Well, Ricio, the real reason we want you on the pod today's we have a very special question for you. Are you taking ozepe twice a day? Oh? Twice a day? Oh a big change? Yeah, congratulations on your neok the dealmaker. We're super excited about that. Um, Teddy, where are you? I actually I am with your partner. Um. I just saw Santiago and his family and kids were all in part of the arta. Oh my god, how fun. That's so exciting. I can't believe I'm not there, so John almost it is so amazing here. And he was telling me about all the new homes that they're building here in the Rosewood and yeah, so I saw him and I was like, I know that guy, Like, oh yeah, so it was exciting to see him. You want it. Well, before we start grilling you, oh, which is obviously going to happen, it's talking about the Dealmaker. Give us a little history. That's your book out. That's on April eleventh, yep, comes up tomorrow. I mean the history is it just you know, it's about you know, life lessons, insights through stories that I've been you know, I've experienced throughout my life, um, you know, starting from when I was a childhood and things that have guided you know, that have shaped me. But it's not a you know, it's not a kind of succeed book or you know, three Steps to success or five steps to be the best salesman on the planet or anything like that. It's more of like a bunch of storytelling lessons that I learned and that hopefully I can you know, the readers will will learn, you know, something from that, you know, from their own experiences, be able to take on my experiences, but learned for theirs. What inspired you to write the book? I think it's just over the years, you know, it's I've been wanting to and you know, I mean I have a company now with seventy five eighty offices and two thousand sales people, and I'm constantly teaching and you know, and and and advising and consulting, and you know, I don't like to consult again through like here's what you need to do. I like to like advise through again you know, my experiences and storytelling and then have that have that be something that you know that that's now you um and obviously you know, being now on two television shows and having an audience, I think it's the right timing, um in order to get you know, the book out there and you know, to make sure people read it. And for a lot of people, they you know, start in business with some sort of family and then, as we all know, working with family is difficult. You know you used to work with your brother in law, Rick Hilton. What would you say for somebody who starts off with family then has to make that change because ultimately you need to grow what was like your biggest learning curve there like that I can go out and do this on my own, but how do we salvage any of it. Yeah, I mean I think that, you know, you have to have respect for each other on the family, and you have to like respect each other's opinions and and and not. You know, just because there's somebody's family doesn't mean you get to like, you know, bost them around, right. Um. You know, with me, with my kids, like they're adults, Like they have their own opinions, they have their own thoughts, Like I need to advise them and teach them and consult them, but I certainly can't tell them what to do, otherwise they won't want to work for me, they'll want to leave. Um, you know, with me with Rick, you know, it was just circumstances. You know, the story that I tell in the book. Um, you know, lessons that learned. You know that that sometimes the door needs to close in order for another one to open. And sometimes you need a circumstance in your life to happen in order for you to take a risk and do something else and do something better, right, Um, you know, and and and you know with with with Rick, I mean that's kind of what happened, right Like and I you know, you'll have to read the story. I'm not going to spill the beans here. Um, you got to read the book. Um, but you know, that's kind of what happened. And it's sad because he has such a great company. But had what happened not happened, I probably never would have had the courage to go off on my own and have you know, and and and gone and open up the agency, you know, which, in hindsight, you know, probably the best thing that ever happened to me. Um. And so, uh, being respectful with the family is critical. Yeah, do you have a good relationship with him? Now? We do. We have a very good relationship. Now, you know, I don't see him that often, but every time we do, we're always you know, we have We're very cordial and we have a good relationship. Thank god. Yea, hopefully it stays that way. But speaking of working with family, and Beverly Hills was just renewed for season two. That is so exciting. Congrega, which one of your daughters do you think is most similar to you in business and most similar to Kyle? Oh my god, Well that's like so easy. Well, first of all, yeah, super exciting. Season two. It's official. We start filming and that's gonna be so much fun. Lots of real estate born, lots of drama, um, a lot of you know, really fun stuff. I can't wait to, you know, dig deeper with my daughters, um in in you know, and some of the stuff that we're already digging deeper in right now in terms of like the whole succession and what that looks like and all those vibes, um, you know, and uh, oh my god in business? Who's the most similar to me? My daughter? I mean, there's no question Alexia is the most similar to me, just like in general and life, you know, and talks exactly like fine, all right. That's when I've watched the first TIS, I'm like, oh my god, she is Kyle. I mean, this is a little bit unfair because I'm sitting here doing this, you know, with this with you, and you're like Kyle's best friend, so like there's nothing you can talk to me. You can say, thank you? Tara. How did how did the show come about? Was it something that you pitch to the network? Did Netflix come to you? Um? Did you pitch it to Bravo? How did that work? I mean I don't even remember anymore. Quite honestly, this has been going on for We've been trying to do this thing so for like four or five years now, UM and UM, you know, COVID got in the way, and then it didn't get in the way, and then you know, but I was so excited to have Netflix pick it up. UM and you know they're you know, it's a it's an international company one hundred and ninety countries plus or minus. I think, you know whatever that is, UM, And it's just such a great platform. And I just you know, I just I just love it. UM. I love working with them. They're amazing people to work for and with. UM the production company is great. And yeah, so you know, now we you know, we were on two uh networks on Netflix and I'm Bravo, which is great. I know a lot of fans were bummed that Kyle was not on season one of Buying Beverly Hills. Are we going to be seeing her film season two of Buying Beverly Hills or are we not sing her? I think you're going to see a lot more of Kyle on season two and Buying Beverly Hills, So that is the plan. I was surprised here recently that Kyle actually has her real estate license. You guys went and took the test around the same time. Now, I've had my real estate license for like eighteen nineteen years. I don't practice because I have other things going on, but I never let my license expire because you never know what the future holds for you. Right now I have i'd hung at agent ink. But do you have an office in Orange County. We're going to change your license. Your license is officially hanging now at the agency. Okay, I do think, I do think there's a time where I really want to get back into it because, like you, I love the real estate porn. I'm on the MLS every single day, Like I just love it. And I have a lot of friends in Orange County. They're a real estate agents. It's so much fun. And yeah, we'd love to have you on board, and I think you definitely belong. You know, it's part of the agency family, whether you practice or you don't practice. But that way you and Kyle can both have your license is hanging at the same spot, and you never know what day you might want to do a deal. I know, back to your kids, I know my dad's really hard on me when it comes to work stuff. And his one rule for me has always been, like, listen, there's no getting emotional in business. What is the one piece of advice that like you give to your girls, Like all right, this is what makes me most proud. And this is like this is a hard note for me. Is it laziness? Is it doing your homework or like what is that you? Yeah, great question, teddy. You know. To me, it's all about having knowledge of what you're trying to sell and what you're trying, you know, to to work on, like tremendous knowledge, like being the most knowledgeable person in the room on your product. Um, you know in real estate, you know what areas, what you know what what price per square foots? Where you know where does the sunset? What you know everything about the property, schools, etcetera, etcetera. But more of the knowledge, it's having confidence. You know, we're gonna have confidence. You have to have knowledge because if you don't have that knowledge, you're not going to have the confidence. But having confidence in yourself and then willing to take some risks, I think is just you know, one of the most important traits in any business. I do have one real estate question for you. Yes, this is a fight within my house. Okay, So the real estate market has been crazy for the past few years. During the pandemic, we saw properties almost double in price, interest rates went down, and property cells were basically sign unsane. Now the market seems to have like maybe leveled off, it hasn't drastically dropped. What is happening in the future. Is it a good time to buy an investment property? And should you hold off? What's going to happen Because my husband's like, it's gonna crash, It's gonna crash. I'm like, I don't know if it is. Yeah, I don't know. Prices are going to crash as much as people are thinking. I mean, there's definitely a slowdown in transactions. But what that will do is that will increase, you know, supply, and one supply gets increase, then uh, you know, now you can actually go out and find the house that you love and want and not be in a battle and like battling like a maniac over you know, the same house with thirty six different people. Um, you know, from the perspective of being the right time, I think, Look, it's your house, right so anytime that you know you you want to make it a commitment to your life. It's the right time. Keep in mind that the interest rate, you know, the mortgage rates, even though they're high, they've started to drop a little bit right now. I don't know, will level see the two you know, the two sub three sub three interest rates again, that was a unique time moment in time that you know should never happen again, like you know, so, um, you know, if we can stabilize interest rates in the four to five percent, I think that would be awesome. Um. I think that you're not married to your interest rate, you're only dating it. So you know, keep in mind that you can go and find your property by it, and then you can refinance and go down to a lower interest rate. Like it's not like if you find the property of your dreams and the one that you want, it's always the right time to buy it. And I can tell you that no matter what time in history you've bought, over a period of ten years, on any graph, the prices of real estate have never, ever, ever in history been lower ten years after any moment in time that you buy. Even if you buy it, the highest peak two thousand and seven, two seventeen, twenty seventeen was above two thousand and seven before the huge drop. Okay, that's the one that we all remember, but nobody, no matter what, it's always been that way perfect. And last question in regards to real estate, because then, of course, you know, we're gonna have to get into a little bit of from bly Hills, which is, what do you think your greatest quality is other than confidence that has led you from you know, I remember hearing stories that you were in I think the clothing industry, and then Kyle kind of said, they'll get your real estate license and let's go. And you've just kind of been moving up and up and up. What do you think is that secret sauce for you? So? I mean that's you know, while you have to get the book and read the book, but there's not one secret sauce, Teddy. It's a little bit of everything. Um. But if I were to just point one thing out into the ability to read a room and the ability to listen most real estate most salespeople like to talk a lot because they're they're there. They they they want to show off their knowledge, they want to show off that they know what they're talking about. They get nervous in a room of just listening and nobody talking, so they're selling. They're talking like you know, bond and on and on like you. In order to be a great salesman person, you also have to you actually have to like take a step back, listen, read the room, understand your audience. And the faster you can get to that moment um, the faster you can create you know, um, matchmaking, which is what I call sales. Sales is all about matchmaking. Once you made that match, um, now you can go on and um and make a great say else. So I think my greatest ability is, uh, is the ability to read a room and to read people super fast and super effect effectively. I just have one shady question for you, real estate, and then we can other than Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan, and Prince And you've sold houses to famous people, I'm sure a ton of them. Is there any famous person that you would never sell a house to? Again? Do not want to work with them? Oh? Man, that's a great question. I don't know if that one's ever been asked of me. Um, no, I no, I do not have anybody like that. So, you know, I was so difficult to work with. You're like go pound sand I don't want to do with you. You know what, though, even the difficult ones are kind of fun. And you know, yes, I've had so many difficult people that work that I've worked with in the past, and they have been but even conquering them, um, that challenge, that win, like, that's that's just that's fun. You know, that can be probably even more fun and more you know, um than than than uh than not just having everything be easy. I mean if life it's if life's always easy, then it's not that fun, right, Like, you gotta have some challenge. The commission on a celebrity's house is pretty big usually speaking. Yeah, um um, we know that Kyle is in the midst of filming Beverly Hills. Um, are you guys in any of the drama this season, because of course we're seeing rumblings because of that one point. I know everyone's probably asked me that one paparazzi photo and I was actually with her at that moment, So what's your fault? It's your fault. Yeah. Yeah, So so the question is in a little bit, are you getting divorced. We're not getting divorced. Were you wearing her? Were you wearing her ringed, is that what happened? She just forgot to like she gave it to you and you were trying it on or something like that. I was actually wearing it as a choe because the diamond is so small that I was like, you better to upgrade this because it's just embarrassing. I think that's what it was all about, right, you guys want to figure out. Yeah, it kind of sucks. I mean, that's so dumb, and that's one stupid story that came out there, and you know, and then the girls all like I guess, you know, decided to talk about it on the Housewives, and so now it's a storyline. So there's definitely some stories out there, and you know, Kyle and I address it and we'll take it from there. I mean, it is what it is. How do you deal with it on the show when it's absolutely not true and it's just slandering you your relationship? And do you ignore it or do you address it? Do you fight it? Likes? So we addressed it. We addressed it. It was addressed by the girls. They brought it up. They really brought it up to Kyle, like, which is kind of bitchy. And super mean because particularly the girls, they actually know what's going on and they know exactly what it's all about. Um, you know, they they all have had, you know, a photograph like that taken. They know that story's BS and for them to bring it on and bring it, you know, make it more real, bring it to the show. Um. And when I you know, when I say make it more real, I mean it's like make it more like, you know, relevant, right, like, particularly when they know it's not relevant. Um, just kind of suck. So we did address it, and it is what it is. And I think it's look in order to be on these shows, you've got to grow some thick skin. Um you you girls know that as good as all of us. But yeah, I mean, you know whatever, I don't know what to tell you, Like, I don't expect her to wear her ring next time she's out with you, Teddy. You know you guys are working out coming from the yoga Leston like and like it is, well maybe maybe maybe maybe the ring was too big. Kyle has lost weight recently and people are up in arms about her weight loss. She looks great, are you and Pek as close as they show it on the show or are you guys like but like it makes it seem like you guys are thinking, think a see if you also got a little heat last year. We're laughing at Garcela's son, Like, are you guys just always having fun to kind of pretend you're away from the cameras or what's the set for child's relationship? Pekue and I are really good friends, Teddy. Um, we're super tight. You know, we laugh at each other, we're were we talk all the time, we hang out he often. UM, I mean that was kind of an unfortunate thing with that, you know, with with with with laughing, UM, just totally out of context for me. I mean, you know, quite honestly, we were asked to talk about something that I wasn't present and didn't witness it, and um, and when you talk about something that you don't really know what you're talking about, UM, you just have a reaction. And I, you know, I didn't really know what the heck and we were talking about, totally had the wrong reaction. And I immediately again not the rehash things, but when you know, texted Garcelle and called her and apologized profusely. UM, particularly when I watched it I thought it kind of sucked. Um, you know, even reflecting on that. But you know there's again when you know, we're asked to do a lot of things on television, you know that, and um and um, you know we weren't. I just wasn't aware of what we were, what we were even talking about. To be quite honest with you, I didn't witness the event actually happened. So it is what it is, absolutainly. No nothing bad there. So Mauricio, I have to ask you this question. You have been seen many trips with the Housewives with their asthmen Ultimate Girls trip. What's going on there, buddy? Why has were a rather cuts down, weener off than go on a trip with the girls. Is it just coincidental or is there a reason you tend to show up? I mean, I don't know. I mean the Aspen thing, like you know, to me, like we're all going to happen. You know, it's my favorite place in the world. Um, Like I plan on being there anyway, and that's just the coincidence of me going there and Kyle's going with it with the girls, Like I want to go ski and I want to do my thing. I mean, I was very I try to stay out of a way and not film, but you know, like that's uh, you know if every once in a while you just get in you know, get in there. Well. But I was just there skiing and having a good time. The Ultimate Girls Trip. That was a total, um coincidence in terms of just timing that worked out kind of fun and you know for tuit us, for both of us. But I was there opening up by my church and Cacos office. Um we got them their their their space. UM. And I actually had my opening and my trip planned long before um the girls uh, the Ultimate Girls Trip had going on, and it just happened to coincide that we happened to be there at the same time. So that was just kind of a coincidence. Coincidence. It sounds like a coincidence then coincidence. But also I need to know, did you hear any part of the Kathy breakdown to Rena as it was actually happening and no, so no, no, this is this is the floor. So this is my old house. So it has three levels. Um, I was on the master bedroom or the primary bedroom is on the top level. Kathy was actually sleeping in the lowest level, so three levels down. Um, and I went home early. I was already asleep, and I'm a I'm a deep sleeper. I don't wake up with the fire alarm. I don't wake up with anything like when I'm asleep, I'm asleep, um and um. And she was downstairs, and Renna was downstairs. They were all on the lowest level, so through two floors down and um, I didn't hear anything. I did. I did come out later and saw Renna h super di ressed, um, super stressed, um and and and distraught and um and she you know, didn't share with me everything that happened, but I did have a small conversation as it was happening, um and and and definitely got you know, kind of like the uh the moments, um um reaction from from Renna at the time. Did you think Renna was lying? I did not think Renna was lying. She didn't look like she was lying at all. Um. Again, I didn't hear it, so unfortunately I can't comment to it. But Renna did not look like she was lying. And also, Okay, so if you can go back to all of your years on Beverly Hills, what is your favorite season you've ever filmed, and your least favorite season you've ever filmed. Well, I don't have a least favorite. Um, that's an easy one, just because it's always you know, um, but my favorite season we filmed was probably season one. Um. It was so new, it school, it was different. Um, yeah, you know, Portune was a baby. The guys were a little bit more involved at the time, which you know, we were excited and wanted to. Nowadays you know, we probably don't want to Tamera, as you said, and and yeah, so I would say season one was probably my favorite. Well, I can tell you my favorite seat scene I ever filmed with you was we were at Camille's wedding, but we weren't hanging out with Camille. We were at this dinner and we took a more a do you remember right, we did these little edibles, these little edibles, We took little half edibles, and none of us could say any work and duction coming to us and being like, guys, somebody has to speak. So then Nursia started telling us stories. But the stories made absolutely no sense. We were crying, laughing, And that was honestly, like it wasn't like ten minutes like they showed. It was like four hours of nobody, nobody being able to complete a full sentence and watching it back still to this day, I'm like, that was a great night. I mean, that says terrible, but that was a really great night. That every night in my house. That's what it's like. Lucky you. That was a great night, Teddy. You're absolutely right. That was one of the most epic nights that we've had in terms of like just having you know, not unfiltered fun altogether, everybody laughing. It was just one of those great great moments. For sure. I did even just tell the same story over and over. But because if we know you have to go, if you could pick one housewife from Beverly Hills to come back and one never see again, who would they be? Oh my god, not playing the kill because that's normally a playing because Kyle's my friend, I'm not playing a Yeah, thank you. I wouldn't and I wouldn't devanced with it. I would have stayed. So yeah, yeah, So definitely to cut back, it's you, Eddy, we need you back, we miss you, and I miss hanging that with you guys and ed with everybody. I just love that. Um and yeah, you just brought so much. Um, and and for me, I mean, I mean, you know the answer to who I would never see again at this moment, you know, it's it's you know, it's Lisa Ander Pump. Um. I I just think what she did to Kayle was just so mean and so not cool, and I just, you know, not happy about that. Are you guys missing Lisa Renna? Well? I love Renna. Um. You know, look, I don't think very little with them, so you know, I've only had a couple of scenes, you know, with Kyle, and I don't know if they're missing her and her you know, she brings so much, She's always brought so much. Um. You know, Lisa Renna as a friend, you know for me. Harry Hamlin's a friend for me. Um. You know, I don't have any issues, I you know, with anybody, so you know, to me, they're friends and um, you know, I miss her, But I don't know, like you know, I have no idea what you know, what the show looks like in terms of like, you know, are they missing you know that drama. I think she's going to be back. In closing, I have one question for you, as a father of four girls, did you ever think one more, Kyle, Let's just have one more and try for that boy. No, we did that with Porscha. That was we did that already. We tried the one more for the boy and it didn't work. And you know, just so that you know that story is I don't know if Kyle's told you this story, Teddy, but you know, we were trying for a boy and we went for science and we did multiple times where we did the spinning, and I went to the doctor and uh, you know and and and had you know, try try to spin for a boy. Um, and it just didn't take. And it didn't take. I think we tried three times, and ultimately I just said to Kyle, I go, honey, let's just have our last baby and let's let God decide. And um, you know, literally had sex ones and out came a girl. So there you go. So I always meant I was meant to make girls. Yeah, okay, well, well we agree, and let's cut to the chase decent that the agency had deserves a diamond. I feel like Kyle has an agency had on more than any other and then all of us have it on and as much as you have a Skyline hat on. Yeah, I mean, let's give it. Let's at least give it a cuber zirconia. Now it deserves the diamond. It deserves a diamond, Teddy, it deserves a diamond. We need to diamond for sure. Oh my gosh, well, we really appreciate you coming on. You guys have to make sure that you get Mauricio's new books, A deal Maker. It's available tomorrow, April eleventh. And we are so excited for Visio and all of his family for the renewed season two Hills. That is huge because not many housewives can say they got a second season and a house husband us that one so good. Thank you so much, girls, thank you so much, and what a fun time, fun experience. And I thank you both for having me on your show. Yes, congratulations, Thank you Bye Maricia, by bye bye

Two Teas in a Pod with Teddy Mellancamps and camera judge. Here we are again for another episode of Two Teas in a Pod with myself, Teddy Mellencamp and yours. Truly, we have on a very special guest today, and one I realize that I look like crocodile dundee out in the wilderness right now, like and I'm getting eaten alive. But the things that I'll do for the pod. But we have Mauricio Yumansky coming on today. He is not only one of my best friend's husbands, Kyle Richards, but he's also a real estate mogul, longtime fan favorite of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and he has his own series on Netflix called Buying Beverly Hills, which inspires budding entrepreneurs and self starters of all different backgrounds and strategies to find success for work. He also has a new book coming out called The deal Maker available April eleventh, and lots of other friends chaps. So we are going to ask him all the business related stuff, but then also the all the juice that we want to hear as well. So I have my real estate questions all written out right here because I have a real estate license, so I need to know what's going on in this market. But I do need to know before we even bring him in, because I do see him here in the waiting area. Are you going to ask the question that we all want to know? Is he on ozempic? Yeah? Start it started with that. I bet he doesn't even know what it is. Okay, Oh, I bet he does. Let's see. All right, let's go ahead and bring Racio in. What up? Girls, Thanks for being here with us. We see you are on the tour today, right the president. I saw you on Instagram already. Well, Ricio, the real reason we want you on the pod today's we have a very special question for you.

I can't believe I'm not there, so John almost it is so amazing here. And he was telling me about all the new homes that they're building here in the Rosewood and yeah, so I saw him and I was like, I know that guy, Like, oh yeah, so it was exciting to see him. You want it. Well, before we start grilling you, oh, which is obviously going to happen, it's talking about the Dealmaker. Give us a little history. That's your book out. That's on April eleventh, yep, comes up tomorrow. I mean the history is it just you know, it's about you know, life lessons, insights through stories that I've been you know, I've experienced throughout my life, um, you know, starting from when I was a childhood and things that have guided you know, that have shaped me. But it's not a you know, it's not a kind of succeed book or you know, three Steps to success or five steps to be the best salesman on the planet or anything like that. It's more of like a bunch of storytelling lessons that I learned and that hopefully I can you know, the readers will will learn, you know, something from that, you know, from their own experiences, be able to take on my experiences, but learned for theirs. What inspired you to write the book? I think it's just over the years, you know, it's I've been wanting to and you know, I mean I have a company now with seventy five eighty offices and two thousand sales people, and I'm constantly teaching and you know, and and and advising and consulting, and you know, I don't like to consult again through like here's what you need to do. I like to like advise through again you know, my experiences and storytelling and then have that have that be something that you know that that's now you um and obviously you know, being now on two television shows and having an audience, I think it's the right timing, um in order to get you know, the book out there and you know, to make sure people read it. And for a lot of people, they you know, start in business with some sort of family and then, as we all know, working with family is difficult. You know you used to work with your brother in law, Rick Hilton. What would you say for somebody who starts off with family then has to make that change because ultimately you need to grow what was like your biggest learning curve there like that I can go out and do this on my own, but how do we salvage any of it. Yeah, I mean I think that, you know, you have to have respect for each other on the family, and you have to like respect each other's opinions and and and not. You know, just because there's somebody's family doesn't mean you get to like, you know, bost them around, right. Um. You know, with me, with my kids, like they're adults, Like they have their own opinions, they have their own thoughts, Like I need to advise them and teach them and consult them, but I certainly can't tell them what to do, otherwise they won't want to work for me, they'll want to leave. Um, you know, with me with Rick, you know, it was just circumstances. You know, the story that I tell in the book. Um, you know, lessons that learned. You know that that sometimes the door needs to close in order for another one to open. And sometimes you need a circumstance in your life to happen in order for you to take a risk and do something else and do something better, right, Um, you know, and and and you know with with with Rick, I mean that's kind of what happened, right Like and I you know, you'll have to read the story. I'm not going to spill the beans here. Um, you got to read the book. Um, but you know, that's kind of what happened. And it's sad because he has such a great company. But had what happened not happened, I probably never would have had the courage to go off on my own and have you know, and and and gone and open up the agency, you know, which, in hindsight, you know, probably the best thing that ever happened to me. Um. And so, uh, being respectful with the family is critical. Yeah, do you have a good relationship with him? Now? We do. We have a very good relationship. Now, you know, I don't see him that often, but every time we do, we're always you know, we have We're very cordial and we have a good relationship. Thank god. Yea, hopefully it stays that way. But speaking of working with family, and Beverly Hills was just renewed for season two. That is so exciting. Congrega, which one of your daughters do you think is most similar to you in business and most similar to Kyle? Oh my god, Well that's like so easy. Well, first of all, yeah, super exciting. Season two. It's official. We start filming and that's gonna be so much fun. Lots of real estate born, lots of drama, um, a lot of you know, really fun stuff. I can't wait to, you know, dig deeper with my daughters, um in in you know, and some of the stuff that we're already digging deeper in right now in terms of like the whole succession and what that looks like and all those vibes, um, you know, and uh, oh my god in business? Who's the most similar to me? My daughter? I mean, there's no question Alexia is the most similar to me, just like in general and life, you know, and talks exactly like fine, all right. That's when I've watched the first TIS, I'm like, oh my god, she is Kyle. I mean, this is a little bit unfair because I'm sitting here doing this, you know, with this with you, and you're like Kyle's best friend, so like there's nothing you can talk to me. You can say, thank you? Tara. How did how did the show come about? Was it something that you pitch to the network? Did Netflix come to you? Um? Did you pitch it to Bravo? How did that work? I mean I don't even remember anymore. Quite honestly, this has been going on for We've been trying to do this thing so for like four or five years now, UM and UM, you know, COVID got in the way, and then it didn't get in the way, and then you know, but I was so excited to have Netflix pick it up. UM and you know they're you know, it's a it's an international company one hundred and ninety countries plus or minus. I think, you know whatever that is, UM, And it's just such a great platform. And I just you know, I just I just love it. UM. I love working with them. They're amazing people to work for and with. UM the production company is great. And yeah, so you know, now we you know, we were on two uh networks on Netflix and I'm Bravo, which is great. I know a lot of fans were bummed that Kyle was not on season one of Buying Beverly Hills. Are we going to be seeing her film season two of Buying Beverly Hills or are we not sing her? I think you're going to see a lot more of Kyle on season two and Buying Beverly Hills, So that is the plan. I was surprised here recently that Kyle actually has her real estate license. You guys went and took the test around the same time. Now, I've had my real estate license for like eighteen nineteen years. I don't practice because I have other things going on, but I never let my license expire because you never know what the future holds for you. Right now I have i'd hung at agent ink. But do you have an office in Orange County. We're going to change your license. Your license is officially hanging now at the agency. Okay, I do think, I do think there's a time where I really want to get back into it because, like you, I love the real estate porn. I'm on the MLS every single day, Like I just love it. And I have a lot of friends in Orange County. They're a real estate agents. It's so much fun. And yeah, we'd love to have you on board, and I think you definitely belong. You know, it's part of the agency family, whether you practice or you don't practice. But that way you and Kyle can both have your license is hanging at the same spot, and you never know what day you might want to do a deal. I know, back to your kids, I know my dad's really hard on me when it comes to work stuff. And his one rule for me has always been, like, listen, there's no getting emotional in business. What is the one piece of advice that like you give to your girls, Like all right, this is what makes me most proud. And this is like this is a hard note for me. Is it laziness? Is it doing your homework or like what is that you? Yeah, great question, teddy. You know. To me, it's all about having knowledge of what you're trying to sell and what you're trying, you know, to to work on, like tremendous knowledge, like being the most knowledgeable person in the room on your product. Um, you know in real estate, you know what areas, what you know what what price per square foots? Where you know where does the sunset? What you know everything about the property, schools, etcetera, etcetera. But more of the knowledge, it's having confidence. You know, we're gonna have confidence. You have to have knowledge because if you don't have that knowledge, you're not going to have the confidence. But having confidence in yourself and then willing to take some risks, I think is just you know, one of the most important traits in any business. I do have one real estate question for you. Yes, this is a fight within my house. Okay, So the real estate market has been crazy for the past few years. During the pandemic, we saw properties almost double in price, interest rates went down, and property cells were basically sign unsane. Now the market seems to have like maybe leveled off, it hasn't drastically dropped. What is happening in the future. Is it a good time to buy an investment property? And should you hold off? What's going to happen Because my husband's like, it's gonna crash, It's gonna crash. I'm like, I don't know if it is. Yeah, I don't know. Prices are going to crash as much as people are thinking. I mean, there's definitely a slowdown in transactions. But what that will do is that will increase, you know, supply, and one supply gets increase, then uh, you know, now you can actually go out and find the house that you love and want and not be in a battle and like battling like a maniac over you know, the same house with thirty six different people. Um, you know, from the perspective of being the right time, I think, Look, it's your house, right so anytime that you know you you want to make it a commitment to your life. It's the right time. Keep in mind that the interest rate, you know, the mortgage rates, even though they're high, they've started to drop a little bit right now. I don't know, will level see the two you know, the two sub three sub three interest rates again, that was a unique time moment in time that you know should never happen again, like you know, so, um, you know, if we can stabilize interest rates in the four to five percent, I think that would be awesome. Um. I think that you're not married to your interest rate, you're only dating it. So you know, keep in mind that you can go and find your property by it, and then you can refinance and go down to a lower interest rate. Like it's not like if you find the property of your dreams and the one that you want, it's always the right time to buy it. And I can tell you that no matter what time in history you've bought, over a period of ten years, on any graph, the prices of real estate have never, ever, ever in history been lower ten years after any moment in time that you buy. Even if you buy it, the highest peak two thousand and seven, two seventeen, twenty seventeen was above two thousand and seven before the huge drop. Okay, that's the one that we all remember, but nobody, no matter what, it's always been that way perfect. And last question in regards to real estate, because then, of course, you know, we're gonna have to get into a little bit of from bly Hills, which is, what do you think your greatest quality is other than confidence that has led you from you know, I remember hearing stories that you were in I think the clothing industry, and then Kyle kind of said, they'll get your real estate license and let's go. And you've just kind of been moving up and up and up. What do you think is that secret sauce for you? So? I mean that's you know, while you have to get the book and read the book, but there's not one secret sauce, Teddy. It's a little bit of everything. Um. But if I were to just point one thing out into the ability to read a room and the ability to listen most real estate most salespeople like to talk a lot because they're they're there. They they they want to show off their knowledge, they want to show off that they know what they're talking about. They get nervous in a room of just listening and nobody talking, so they're selling. They're talking like you know, bond and on and on like you. In order to be a great salesman person, you also have to you actually have to like take a step back, listen, read the room, understand your audience. And the faster you can get to that moment um, the faster you can create you know, um, matchmaking, which is what I call sales. Sales is all about matchmaking. Once you made that match, um, now you can go on and um and make a great say else. So I think my greatest ability is, uh, is the ability to read a room and to read people super fast and super effect effectively. I just have one shady question for you, real estate, and then we can other than Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan, and Prince And you've sold houses to famous people, I'm sure a ton of them. Is there any famous person that you would never sell a house to? Again? Do not want to work with them? Oh? Man, that's a great question. I don't know if that one's ever been asked of me. Um, no, I no, I do not have anybody like that. So, you know, I was so difficult to work with. You're like go pound sand I don't want to do with you. You know what, though, even the difficult ones are kind of fun. And you know, yes, I've had so many difficult people that work that I've worked with in the past, and they have been but even conquering them, um, that challenge, that win, like, that's that's just that's fun. You know, that can be probably even more fun and more you know, um than than than uh than not just having everything be easy. I mean if life it's if life's always easy, then it's not that fun, right, Like, you gotta have some challenge. The commission on a celebrity's house is pretty big usually speaking. Yeah, um um, we know that Kyle is in the midst of filming Beverly Hills. Um, are you guys in any of the drama this season, because of course we're seeing rumblings because of that one point. I know everyone's probably asked me that one paparazzi photo and I was actually with her at that moment, So what's your fault? It's your fault. Yeah. Yeah, So so the question is in a little bit, are you getting divorced. We're not getting divorced. Were you wearing her? Were you wearing her ringed, is that what happened? She just forgot to like she gave it to you and you were trying it on or something like that. I was actually wearing it as a choe because the diamond is so small that I was like, you better to upgrade this because it's just embarrassing. I think that's what it was all about, right, you guys want to figure out. Yeah, it kind of sucks. I mean, that's so dumb, and that's one stupid story that came out there, and you know, and then the girls all like I guess, you know, decided to talk about it on the Housewives, and so now it's a storyline. So there's definitely some stories out there, and you know, Kyle and I address it and we'll take it from there. I mean, it is what it is. How do you deal with it on the show when it's absolutely not true and it's just slandering you your relationship? And do you ignore it or do you address it? Do you fight it? Likes? So we addressed it. We addressed it. It was addressed by the girls. They brought it up. They really brought it up to Kyle, like, which is kind of bitchy. And super mean because particularly the girls, they actually know what's going on and they know exactly what it's all about. Um, you know, they they all have had, you know, a photograph like that taken. They know that story's BS and for them to bring it on and bring it, you know, make it more real, bring it to the show. Um. And when I you know, when I say make it more real, I mean it's like make it more like, you know, relevant, right, like, particularly when they know it's not relevant. Um, just kind of suck. So we did address it, and it is what it is. And I think it's look in order to be on these shows, you've got to grow some thick skin. Um you you girls know that as good as all of us. But yeah, I mean, you know whatever, I don't know what to tell you, Like, I don't expect her to wear her ring next time she's out with you, Teddy. You know you guys are working out coming from the yoga Leston like and like it is, well maybe maybe maybe maybe the ring was too big. Kyle has lost weight recently and people are up in arms about her weight loss. She looks great, are you and Pek as close as they show it on the show or are you guys like but like it makes it seem like you guys are thinking, think a see if you also got a little heat last year. We're laughing at Garcela's son, Like, are you guys just always having fun to kind of pretend you're away from the cameras or what's the set for child's relationship? Pekue and I are really good friends, Teddy. Um, we're super tight. You know, we laugh at each other, we're were we talk all the time, we hang out he often. UM, I mean that was kind of an unfortunate thing with that, you know, with with with with laughing, UM, just totally out of context for me. I mean, you know, quite honestly, we were asked to talk about something that I wasn't present and didn't witness it, and um, and when you talk about something that you don't really know what you're talking about, UM, you just have a reaction. And I, you know, I didn't really know what the heck and we were talking about, totally had the wrong reaction. And I immediately again not the rehash things, but when you know, texted Garcelle and called her and apologized profusely. UM, particularly when I watched it I thought it kind of sucked. Um, you know, even reflecting on that. But you know there's again when you know, we're asked to do a lot of things on television, you know that, and um and um, you know we weren't. I just wasn't aware of what we were, what we were even talking about. To be quite honest with you, I didn't witness the event actually happened. So it is what it is, absolutainly. No nothing bad there. So Mauricio, I have to ask you this question. You have been seen many trips with the Housewives with their asthmen Ultimate Girls trip. What's going on there, buddy? Why has were a rather cuts down, weener off than go on a trip with the girls. Is it just coincidental or is there a reason you tend to show up? I mean, I don't know. I mean the Aspen thing, like you know, to me, like we're all going to happen. You know, it's my favorite place in the world. Um, Like I plan on being there anyway, and that's just the coincidence of me going there and Kyle's going with it with the girls, Like I want to go ski and I want to do my thing. I mean, I was very I try to stay out of a way and not film, but you know, like that's uh, you know if every once in a while you just get in you know, get in there. Well. But I was just there skiing and having a good time. The Ultimate Girls Trip. That was a total, um coincidence in terms of just timing that worked out kind of fun and you know for tuit us, for both of us. But I was there opening up by my church and Cacos office. Um we got them their their their space. UM. And I actually had my opening and my trip planned long before um the girls uh, the Ultimate Girls Trip had going on, and it just happened to coincide that we happened to be there at the same time. So that was just kind of a coincidence. Coincidence. It sounds like a coincidence then coincidence. But also I need to know, did you hear any part of the Kathy breakdown to Rena as it was actually happening and no, so no, no, this is this is the floor. So this is my old house. So it has three levels. Um, I was on the master bedroom or the primary bedroom is on the top level. Kathy was actually sleeping in the lowest level, so three levels down. Um, and I went home early. I was already asleep, and I'm a I'm a deep sleeper. I don't wake up with the fire alarm. I don't wake up with anything like when I'm asleep, I'm asleep, um and um. And she was downstairs, and Renna was downstairs. They were all on the lowest level, so through two floors down and um, I didn't hear anything. I did. I did come out later and saw Renna h super di ressed, um, super stressed, um and and and distraught and um and she you know, didn't share with me everything that happened, but I did have a small conversation as it was happening, um and and and definitely got you know, kind of like the uh the moments, um um reaction from from Renna at the time. Did you think Renna was lying? I did not think Renna was lying. She didn't look like she was lying at all. Um. Again, I didn't hear it, so unfortunately I can't comment to it. But Renna did not look like she was lying. And also, Okay, so if you can go back to all of your years on Beverly Hills, what is your favorite season you've ever filmed, and your least favorite season you've ever filmed. Well, I don't have a least favorite. Um, that's an easy one, just because it's always you know, um, but my favorite season we filmed was probably season one. Um. It was so new, it school, it was different. Um, yeah, you know, Portune was a baby. The guys were a little bit more involved at the time, which you know, we were excited and wanted to. Nowadays you know, we probably don't want to Tamera, as you said, and and yeah, so I would say season one was probably my favorite. Well, I can tell you my favorite seat scene I ever filmed with you was we were at Camille's wedding, but we weren't hanging out with Camille. We were at this dinner and we took a more a do you remember right, we did these little edibles, these little edibles, We took little half edibles, and none of us could say any work and duction coming to us and being like, guys, somebody has to speak. So then Nursia started telling us stories. But the stories made absolutely no sense. We were crying, laughing, And that was honestly, like it wasn't like ten minutes like they showed. It was like four hours of nobody, nobody being able to complete a full sentence and watching it back still to this day, I'm like, that was a great night. I mean, that says terrible, but that was a really great night. That every night in my house. That's what it's like. Lucky you. That was a great night, Teddy. You're absolutely right. That was one of the most epic nights that we've had in terms of like just having you know, not unfiltered fun altogether, everybody laughing. It was just one of those great great moments. For sure. I did even just tell the same story over and over. But because if we know you have to go, if you could pick one housewife from Beverly Hills to come back and one never see again, who would they be? Oh my god, not playing the kill because that's normally a playing because Kyle's my friend, I'm not playing a Yeah, thank you. I wouldn't and I wouldn't devanced with it. I would have stayed. So yeah, yeah, So definitely to cut back, it's you, Eddy, we need you back, we miss you, and I miss hanging that with you guys and ed with everybody. I just love that. Um and yeah, you just brought so much. Um, and and for me, I mean, I mean, you know the answer to who I would never see again at this moment, you know, it's it's you know, it's Lisa Ander Pump. Um. I I just think what she did to Kayle was just so mean and so not cool, and I just, you know, not happy about that. Are you guys missing Lisa Renna? Well? I love Renna. Um. You know, look, I don't think very little with them, so you know, I've only had a couple of scenes, you know, with Kyle, and I don't know if they're missing her and her you know, she brings so much, She's always brought so much. Um. You know, Lisa Renna as a friend, you know for me. Harry Hamlin's a friend for me. Um. You know, I don't have any issues, I you know, with anybody, so you know, to me, they're friends and um, you know, I miss her, But I don't know, like you know, I have no idea what you know, what the show looks like in terms of like, you know, are they missing you know that drama. I think she's going to be back. In closing, I have one question for you, as a father of four girls, did you ever think one more, Kyle, Let's just have one more and try for that boy. No, we did that with Porscha. That was we did that already. We tried the one more for the boy and it didn't work. And you know, just so that you know that story is I don't know if Kyle's told you this story, Teddy, but you know, we were trying for a boy and we went for science and we did multiple times where we did the spinning, and I went to the doctor and uh, you know and and and had you know, try try to spin for a boy. Um, and it just didn't take. And it didn't take. I think we tried three times, and ultimately I just said to Kyle, I go, honey, let's just have our last baby and let's let God decide. And um, you know, literally had sex ones and out came a girl. So there you go. So I always meant I was meant to make girls. Yeah, okay, well, well we agree, and let's cut to the chase decent that the agency had deserves a diamond. I feel like Kyle has an agency had on more than any other and then all of us have it on and as much as you have a Skyline hat on. Yeah, I mean, let's give it. Let's at least give it a cuber zirconia. Now it deserves the diamond. It deserves a diamond, Teddy, it deserves a diamond. We need to diamond for sure. Oh my gosh, well, we really appreciate you coming on. You guys have to make sure that you get Mauricio's new books, A deal Maker. It's available tomorrow, April eleventh. And we are so excited for Visio and all of his family for the renewed season two Hills. That is huge because not many housewives can say they got a second season and a house husband us that one so good. Thank you so much, girls, thank you so much, and what a fun time, fun experience. And I thank you both for having me on your show. Yes, congratulations, Thank you Bye Maricia, by bye bye
