TOP CELEBRITY agent Gavin Rubinstein has been shocked by the tsunami of people who want to work with him since Luxe Listings aired on Amazon Prime to rave reviews worldwide in early July.
“I have been blown away by the response,” said the 33-year-old dynamo who opened his own business Ray White TRG two years ago in the heart of Sydney’s affluent eastern suburbs.
“My inbox and social media DMs are literally bursting with resumes from all over the country and overseas of people who want to come and work at TRG.
“We’ve truly become a magnet of attraction.”
The super agent turned TV star is routinely stopped on the street by fans wanting selfies. The six-part hit reality TV show showcased some of the harbour city's best luxury properties and the people who sell them.
Amazon was so keen to get its three stars - Gavin Rubinstein, Simon Cohen and D’Leanne Lewis - to quickly re-sign for a second series after the audience response in the UK and US ensured the hit show was “the most viewed Amazon original to come out of Australia.”
“Each of the protagonists thought prior to seeing the production they would have been the star of the show but the true star of this production is Sydney. She’s stunning,” Mr Rubinstein said.
“None of us are actors, it’s all real, no scripts, no dialogues. What you see is real and there were no huge bloopers either.”

His competitors all thought the show was going to be a distraction but they were very wrong.
Despite the increased filming commitments, his business has not suffered, in fact it’s had the opposite effect.
The dynamic dealmaker is the fastest to reach Chairman’s Elite status in NSW in the current financial year.
One of the best days he had filming series one was for his birthday when Gavin Rubinstein had already hired a house at Palm Beach on Sydney’s northern beaches but the crew couldn’t get permission to film there.
“No problem, the producers simply hired another house for the day and so I had two birthday parties with my team which were both awesome.”
Series two is shaping up amazing, more details, more characters, more everything.
Bizarrely, one of the best side benefits of the show is that Gavin Rubinstein gets a COVID test up to three times a week as filming powers on.
Broadcast filming is exempt from the current lockdown restrictions to keep the industry open and everyone involved is hyper vigilant with regard to Covid precautions and testing.
With filming already underway until December, eager fans will have to wait until early 2022 to find out what Mr White actually wanted that day.
With film crews spotted at Brian White’s harbourside mansion a few weeks ago, everyone’s buzzing about the big reveal cliff-hanger in season two.
Series one left fans all over the world begging to know what Brian White or Dan White actually wanted from Gavin Rubinstein as he cruised past the trophy mansions of Point Piper on a luxe boat.
Only time will tell.
