Michael B. Jordan is making headlines in another Netflix real estate series, Selling the City. His name is revealed because of a previous relationship with agent Gisselle Meneses-Núñez, which caused drama among the Douglas Elliman team during the show’s inaugural season, which began on January 3.

The Penthouse Dilemma

Eleonora Srugo, the head of the team, introduces her staff to a nearly $20 million penthouse in the prestigious Olympia Dumbo in Episode 5. The deal was derailed after a high-profile buyer backed out, but Srugo encouraged her team to use insider information to their advantage. The client? None other than Michael B. Jordan, per Jordyn [Taylor Braff] , a team member, has reported that Jordan has expressed a renewed interest in luxury real estate. During a night out with her boyfriend, Jordyn unexpectedly met Jordan, as she shared.

“I went out one night, and by chance, we stumbled upon each other. Drinks were flowing, and he let us know what his real estate needs were. There were three other agents in the room, so I had to make sure it was ours. We’re bringing it to the team,” she recounted.

Gisselle’s Reaction

Jordyn was excited about possibly working with Jordan, but Gisselle reacted differently. In front of the cameras, she confessed to having a ‘situationship’ with the actor seven years ago and felt bewildered by Jordyn’s actions.

“This client is someone who I had a situationship with seven years ago,” Gisselle said. “We’re still in touch and good friends. We’ve even spoken about real estate. Jordyn doesn’t even have his personal phone number. I expected her to at least let me know she ran into him. It’s girl code.”

A Heated Confrontation

The tension escalated as Gisselle and Jordyn privately discussed the issue. Gisselle started the discussion by accusing Jordyn of breaking professional etiquette, stating,“You should have sent me a message before getting in contact with him.”

Jordyn defended her actions, arguing, “This person is a friend of mine. We’ve been distant friends for years. There’s no personal relationship—it’s purely business.”

Gisselle accused Jordyn of making the deal too personal, but Jordyn countered that Gisselle’s connection to Jordan diluted the professional atmosphere.

A Comparison That Hits Close to Home

Gisselle flipped the conversation by mentioning Jordyn’s ex-boyfriend, Trevor Noah, as an example of double standards.

“What you are saying is, if I run into Trevor Noah and now I go after him and get him as a client, that’s fine?” Gisselle asked.

Jordyn, visibly frustrated, replied, “Is that a threat? Are you now on a mission to go do that?”

No Clear Resolution

Although they exchanged heated words, the coworkers could not reach a consensus on how to rebuild trust. Gisselle stressed her previous real estate discussions with Jordan, while Jordyn maintained that their relationship was strictly professional. In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly before the show’s premiere, Jordyn mentioned that the listing process with Jordan is still ongoing, calling it a ‘very long process.’

Netflix Real Estate Meets Hollywood Drama

Selling the City explores the competitive world of high-end real estate, and personal stories such as this one provide unexpected layers of intrigue. With Michael B. Jordan’s name is the focus of the drama, and viewers are curious about how Gisselle and Jordyn’s tension will unfold—and if the Hollywood star will finally seal the deal on his dream property.

Selling the City shows that in luxury real estate, there is often a blurred distinction between personal and professional.
