Bravo decides on the future of reality show ‘Sold on SLC’

Real estate firm’s CEO says ‘editing choices’ sealed the fate of the “Real Housewives”-adjacent series.

It looks like it’s one and done for “Sold on SLC,” the Bravo reality show that followed the sales tactics and party habits of a group of Utah real estate agents.

“We won’t be getting a season two,” cast member Malaysia Fua recently posted on her Instagram account.

“Being part of ‘Sold on SLC’ was a wild ride!” Fua added, thanking cast and crew members, as well as “family, friends and even strangers who supported me along the way.”

A spokesperson for Bravo did not return a request for confirmation Tuesday.

Jennifer Yeo, founder and CEO of Presidio Real Estate, the Lehi-based firm featured on the show, confirmed that Bravo is not planning a second season.

“The final version of the show — particularly in postproduction — did not fully reflect the energy, authenticity and complexity of what was filmed," Yeo said in an email. “It’s unfortunate that the editing choices compromised the overall viewing experience, but we remain proud of what we brought to the table and are excited about future opportunities to share our stories in more dynamic and accurate ways.”

The series followed the work lives of Yeo and five of her agents as they prepared to get houses ready for market, while also diving into their personal lives and relationships.

The show was a spinoff of sorts to Bravo’s hit series, “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.” One of the agents, Sarah Martindale, made a cameo appearance in the Season 5 premiere of “Real Housewives” as a guest at cast member Lisa Barlow’s Valentine’s Day party. In turn, Barlow appeared on “Sold on SLC” as Martindale’s client, looking to buy or build a new house.

In January, Britani Bateman, who drew lots of attention as a “friend” on “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” last season, announced that she had signed on as an agent at Presidio. The news opened the possibility, now to be unrealized, of more Britani-related drama on “Sold on SLC.”

In an interview with The Salt Lake Tribune before the show’s debut in December, Yeo said she signed on to make the series because “I’m a businesswoman, so I looked at this as a business decision. I’m also out for the good of my agents — so taking this huge risk was hoping to open doors for all my agents.”

In her Instagram post, Fua wrote that “this show gave me the chance to show up authentically and to trust myself. It taught me that there will always be people who root for you & some who don’t. But the key is to focus on the positivity, lead with honesty, and stand by your truth … no matter the backlash. Because in the end, truth rises & love always wins.”

Fua wrote that the show “gave me exactly what I needed — a voice. It helped me step into who I am, fully and unapologetically & I believe that was the purpose all along.”

The eight episodes of Season 1 remain available for streaming on Peacock.
