Million Dollar Listing New York: Construction Criticism
Overview
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.

Ryan is thrilled to land three luxury properties in NoHo, but is quickly burdened with 233 other units...all of them rentals.

While Steve's girlfriend, Luiza, settles into their new home together, he helps a successful high school buddy try and buy an apartment of his own.
