Josh Flagg sold more than (US) $210 million (AUD $293 million) in Los Angeles real estate last year.
At 33, the Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles star is among the top real estate agents in Hollywood and it’s not hard to see why.
Since launching a career in real estate at just 18, the no-nonsense Bravo TV star has sold more than (US) $2billion (AUD $2.7billion) in property.

He has worked with some of Hollywood’s biggest names including Adam Levine, Shonda Rhimes and jeweller to the stars, Lorraine Schwartz.
Josh is the grandson of the late fashion industry executive, Edith Flagg, who imported the wash-and-wear polyester fabric to the US.
Despite his privileged upbringing, Josh told Daily Mail Australia this week that anyone can succeed in luxury real estate.
‘I don’t think [you have to be rich], I think it helps I’m not going to lie,’ he said.

‘It doesn’t require a lot of capital to be in the business but you should have a job to support yourself while you make it.’
Josh said his highest ever commission on a single property is (US) $1 million (AUD $1.4 million).
In 2014, the Million Dollar Agent: Brokering the Dream author told Forbes that the secret to his success lies in being selective about the properties he sells.
‘I don’t sell crap. My reputation is on the line,’ he said.

‘If you call me to sell a home and I don’t believe in it, I won’t take it. When I say crap, I am not referring to a price point.’
He continued: ‘I am saying that if your house is worth two and you want five, I am not interested. I sell everything from (US) $500k to $150 million. If it is sell-able, I can move it.’
In addition to his lucrative business deals, Josh’s storyline on Million Dollar Listing includes his feud with Josh Altman, 39.

When asked whether the feud would ever end, Josh bluntly replied: ‘no.’
He added: ‘[The show] would be boring.’
