Ryan pitches his brand new seven-story Chelsea townhouse as a smart-home paradise for tech enthusiasts, but soon finds himself squaring off with Steve's boss in a tense negotiation. Luis and Ronita explore the ideas of reuniting to become business partners, and realize that the last two years apart have changed both of their lives professionally and personally. On the other hand, Fredrik's former assistant Jordan invites him to help close the deal on a new listing in Tribeca, only to realize that their current working relationship isn't as seamless as their prior one.

Luis and Ronita orchestrate private showings for their first co-listing together, but when Luis steals the show as the conductor, Ronita decides their partnership needs a tune-up. Ryan is thrilled to land three luxury properties in NoHo, but is quickly burdened with 233 other units...all of them rentals. When Steve's own apartment becomes his latest listing, he picks his former assistant, Jess, to take the lead... but her lack of confidence forces him to buy a disguise and go undercover.
Episode 5: Construction Criticism
Steve puts on a rubber mask to observe Jess at her first broker’s open house, but when he's forced to deliver some bad news about the listing, his true character emerges. Fredrik follows a lead for his Tribeca listing, and he's willing to go wherever to find a sale.... including Miami. Meanwhile, Ryan lands a beautifully renovated loft in Chelsea, but with heavy construction starting just outside the master bedroom, he'll have to move the Earth to seal this deal. Luis & Ronita could finalize their first sale as partners, but they may need co-operation from their co-broker to get their first co-mmission.

Meanwhile, Fredrik thinks his Crosby listing's massive terrace could be perfect for trained pets, so he invites over a great dane, a parrot, and a Steve Gold for viewings. And a new up-and-coming agent, Tyler, joins the crew, re-inventing himself....along with the entire New York City real estate market.
