Million Dollar Listing: Los Angeles star Josh Altman visited Abu Dhabi this week to speak at Aldar Experts, a training academy designed to engage and upskill real estate brokers in Abu Dhabi. During his visit, Altman praised the upcoming UAE version of the Emmy-award winning series, Million Dollar Listing, which will air in the UAE in 2023.
Altman shot to fame as the lead broker on Million Dollar Listing: Los Angeles in 2011. While in Abu Dhabi he spoke about his role in the series and encouraged local brokers to take part.
“There is no better place I can imagine for the first international Million Dollar Listing franchise to take place than the UAE. Between the incredible properties and glamorous lifestyle, I think you will be giving us some major competition back in L.A,” said Altman during his appearance. “Million Dollar Listing was a life changing opportunity for me and helped to skyrocket my career as a broker and motivational speaker. It’s an incredible platform to showcase not only the incredible developments in the UAE, but also the culture and lives of those who live here. Hopefully I can extend my reality career internationally and get a cameo onMillion Dollar Listing UAE – stay tuned!”
