Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles Season 15, Episode 8 Recap: Mo’ Mansions, Mo’ Problems

There is trouble in paradise with Heather and Altman on Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles Season 15, Episode 8. Last week, Flagg dumped the co-listing work onto Tracy, and the Altman brothers sold the most expensive listing ever in Encino. This week, Heather and Altman are at odds on prioritizing work and family life, and Tracy and Flagg find buyers for their Roxbury listing. Here’s everything you need to know about Million Dollar Listing LA Season 15, Episode 8: “Mo’ Mansions, Mo’ Problems.”

Tracy might have to negotiate against Flagg for their Roxbury co-listing on Million Dollar Listing LA

Heather was trying her best to juggle work-life balance but was feeling overwhelmed. Altman was in Orange County a lot more because of their new office, which meant she had to single mom it with the kids. Don’t they have any nannies to assist? Still, the show must go on, so Heather went to work on their Beverly Grove listing. This 7,000-square-foot home with amazing views had been stagnant on the market, so they dropped the price by a few million. Once that happened, Heather couldn’t keep up with the showings. It was a good problem to have, but Heather needed help.

As Tracy predicted, the Roxbury listing did not sell itself, contrary to what Flagg said. Flagg had jetted off to Paris for fashion week and left Tracy to pick up the slack on their co-listing. There were many showings, but no offers due to the remodeling that needed to happen. However, the home was move-in ready, which was a positive. Tracy knew they just needed the right buyers to see the potential. And they were Flagg’s clients, Kevin and Shiva. She noted that since Flagg was representing the seller and the buyers, she might have to negotiate against Flagg. She mused, “Which will be fun … for me.”

Altman shows RHOC star Heather Dubrow a property in Beverly Hills owned by Hollywood royalty

Altman’s next big listing was Tower Grove, which was close to home. He noted this would make Heather happier, as the two were not on good terms at the moment. It was an old-school Hollywood mansion, owned by film producer Dino De Laurentiis, AKA, Food Network star Giada De Laurentiis’ grandpa. It had eight acres and was perched high up on a hill with views of the city, ocean, mountains, and most importantly, Drake’s house.

Real Housewives of Orange County star Heather Dubrow swooped in on the property once her son told her about it. Nick Dubrow had been interning at Altman’s firm and knew his mom would love the home. Altman joked that Nick was brought onto the team because “his parents sold a $55 million house with me.” Note to future real estate agents, that’s all it takes to get on Altman’s team. No biggie.

Heather immediately had a vision of how to redo the property to her liking. She said owning this home would cement they were out of OC and officially in LA. Then finally she could cross over to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills! Bravo Gods, make this happen. Altman told her to move fast, as this $20 million listing was a steal. Any construction would have to happen fast as well. They only had six months until the wildlife ordinance took effect, which preserved land so developers couldn’t keep building these mega mansions all over the place. The horror! So Heather quickly called up her hubby, Terry Dubrow, to get the process started.

Heather and Altman are taking different paths on Million Dollar Listing LA

Tracy called up Flagg to let him know the good news about their Roxbury co-listing. They had a potential offer with Kevin and Shiva, so he has to get back to LA pronto to begin negotiating. They would need to decide who was going to represent the buyer and seller to ensure both parties got a fair deal. However, Flagg was too busy shopping the streets of Paris and buying Birkin’s to celebrate. Tracy lamented, “He’s too much work.”

Heather was excited to finally sell the Beverly Grove listing. She said, “Yes, I can be a mom and successful. I can do it all!” But that excitement quelled down when she met up with Altman to shop for finishes for the new OC office. They had $2 million for renovation, and he was worried she was going over budget. Heather was insulted that he questioned her spending. The larger issue though was that the two were on different paths. Heather wanted Altman to settle down, while Altman wanted to keep his foot on the gas. He said Heather has wanted him to slow down for years, but that’s just not who he is.

Flagg and Tracy snuggle up in bed to close their Roxbury listing

Flagg popped over to Tracy’s to discuss his trip and the Roxbury listing. He said, “Paris was great. Food was 10 out of 10. Dick was off the charts.” But it was time to get to business. So naturally, Tracy and Flagg snuggled up under a giant comforter to negotiate. And the word “negotiate” is used loosely. Flagg had an offer of $8.5 million all cash, and Tracy told the seller to take it. Alrighty, then. Tracy joked they should do more deals together in bed. Flagg agreed. He said, “Tracy’s right, we should do deals like this more often. I go to Europe; she does the work. I don’t see any problems with the situation.”

Altman also closed the Tower Grove listing with the Dubrows. He and Heather met up with them at Drake’s to celebrate. Unfortunately for Heather Dubrow, it was at the restaurant, not her soon-to-be neighbor’s house. They gave Altman major kudos that their home was the third-largest sale in OC history. Heather Altman cringed. She didn’t want her husband to get praise that would encourage him to work harder.

Josh then told the story of how Heather had the nanny follow him when he was playing with his son. Heather Dubrow told her to trust her husband. Josh joked that it was hard being a parent, and he didn’t know how his wife did it. It was an awkward exchange where no one would let Heather Altman get a word in. She sipped her martini and smiled, but all was not well with the Altmans.

Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles continues Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
