Becoming a successful real estate agent in the Hamptons isn't easy — and JB Andreassi was only beginning to break into the business when he was approached to be on a reality show. While it was nerve-racking to be so new at real estate (with people all over the world watching, too), the offer to be on television couldn't have come at a better time in his career. "I learned that in order to really stand out and separate yourself from the pack out here, it was an opportunity I just couldn't pass up," he told The List.
After talking it over with friends and family, "I sat down with my parents and I said, 'This is an opportunity of a lifetime. If I don't take this, then I'll probably be regretting it the rest of my life,'" Andreassi said. "'If it's a flop, enough people know me and enough people will support me to get through it.'" Luckily, he never needed a backup plan.
"Selling the Hamptons" is available to stream now on discovery+.
