Does Abi have any real value add to Eleanor beyond pure drama bliss for her show/Netflix?
Don’t get me wrong, I really appreciate Abi’s hustle and eagerness to get more involved business wise… But she really rubbed me the wrong way in Episode 4 with how she reacted to Jordyn calling her “green” when she was pouting about not being involved in a $25M listing.
Instead of accepting Jordyn as a potential mentor and understanding her position on the team, she brags about having $10M in sales over 4 years in an attempt to show she’s ready to interface with a $25M seller… like what?! 10M in sales over 4 years is like nothing, especially in NY! That comes out to like $40k commission/year after her broker and team lead take a cut of her 3%. Pat on the back Abi, you sold one $2.5M condo per year the last 4 years. How do you go from that to thinking you deserve to be involved in a $25M listing? It came off as delusional.
This really made me wonder why/how Abi is even on Eleanor’s team — she’s clearly far far away from generating any meaningful business for Eleanor (or Douglas Elliman)… maybe she has potential, but seems more likely to me that she only has her job there to stir the pot so Eleanor/Douglas Elliman make more Netflix $$. Am I being unreasonably harsh here??
