Selling the City Episode 4: Jordyn and Abigail

Jordyn and Abigail are seen discussing work. Talking to the cameras, Abi explains,

"Jordyn's been in real estate twice as long as me, but I've done more business than her, especially on the listing side. I've had multiple multi-million-dollar listings in Manhattan. And she also has a lot to learn from me."

Selling the City Episode 4: The Office Conversation

Back at the office on Selling the City, Eleonora calls the girls into her office and talks about 2024, and the work she had to put in to make the previous year a successful one. She revealed how she now wants to give back, hoping her four colleagues get the opportunities she once had.

Eleonora then talks about how, no matter how hard she has worked, there is always someone questioning her work ethics. She adds that presently such comments were coming from within the team. She then signals to Taylor who explains,

"I want to put the dynamic of the team first and move beyond this. So I'm very sorry to each and every one of you. I hope you guys can also see and understand that it wasn't just me going and gossiping to Jade. The hardest part for me is that I didn't understand why it was received in such a way."

Soon, Eleonora clears her feelings by saying that she was hurt because Taylor wasn't direct to her, adding that she wants the latter to "stand up" for herself. The rest of the team supports her, acknowledging each other's feelings.
