This week, Jason is joined by real estate agent, entrepreneur, content creator, and working mom of two, Alex Hall!
Many know Alex from her role on Netflix’s Selling the OC where she shares her personal and professional life working for the Oppenheim group in Orange County.

Being a native of Orange County, Alex leveraged her market knowledge to lead a successful real estate career before joining the Oppenheim Group in 2021. When she is not selling million dollar listings, Alex creates hilarious content with her social media following about her life as a working mom.
Alex gives insight to influencer trips, how rumors played a role in her experience in Dubai, the story behind how the date she brought to Dubai left her, the importance of making a statement to set the record straight on allegations, how it impacted her influencer deals, how she ended up on Selling the OC and joining the Oppenheim Group, and if she thinks being on the show is worth it. Alex also reveals that she is an experience girl when it comes to opportunities, how she challenges herself when filming the reality show to go against her initial instinct, her advice on the real estate market currently, what has changed in the industry with being able to market in the MLS, and the three most important things in the real estate industry.
