Two new stars are joining the cast of Selling Sunset for seasons 6 and 7.
Model Bre Tiesi, who recently welcomed her first child with Nick Cannon, is the newest member of the luxury Oppenheim Group brokerage.
Speaking to PEOPLE about her new career in real estate, the 31-year-old said: “I wanted to transition out of modeling and start setting myself up for a long-term career.”

“I started taking it more seriously and tapping into my network, and that’s when I started making some high-figure sales,” she explained.
“As amazing as modeling was as an industry for me, I was just kind of over it. You know, I’m 31 now. So I’m like, it’s time to be a big girl!”
“I work 24 hours a day. Like right now, I’m breastfeeding as I take this call. I’ve always been a multitasker, I love to work and I don’t care if I have to stay up 24 hours a day. I definitely feel no pressure to prove myself whatsoever.”

Nicole Young, who has worked at the Oppenheim Group for over a decade, is also joining the upcoming seasons of Selling Sunset.
The Minnesota native, who married her husband Brandon in 2017, told PEOPLE: “Originally, I was a part of the main cast. Honestly, at the time, I just got cold feet right before they were going to start filming.”
“I just wasn’t ready to expose my entire life, and even more so, my clients and business — which I’m very protective of — to the entire world.”

So what’s changed for Nicole since then? She explained: “I’ve grown personally and professionally a lot. At the end of the day, it’s an incredible opportunity and a rise-to-the-occasion kind of moment.”
“I’ve talked to Mary [Fitzgerald] about everything under the sun and asked her a million questions. She kept reiterating, ‘Just be yourself. Don’t try to be anything you’re not. Don’t try to be anything that you think people want you to be or say what they want you to say. Just be you.'”
“I said, ‘Okay. I can do that. Me — I can do me all day long.'”

Speaking to Us Weekly, Nicole said: “I am definitely going to be bringing a lot of real estate to the table, which I’m very excited about … not just the properties, but my clients and the relationships I have with them because at the end of the day, relationships are the most important aspect of real estate.”
“As far as drama goes, I fully realize that’s a large and unavoidable aspect of the show, but I have pretty thick skin. I’m not easily offended and I have no qualms about voicing my opinion, so I’m not too worried.”
“I’m really excited for fans to see all aspects of my life, both personally and professionally. It’s going to be a fun, wild ride and I’m here for all of it!!!”

It comes after Maya Vander confirmed her departure from Selling Sunset, after starting her own real estate agency in Miami.
She told Page Six back in June: “I decided to not execute my contract. I love the show, and it was great, but I’m excited to focus on the Miami real estate market.”
“I want to focus on my family, and flying coast to coast is a lot. The show is great, and I love everyone, but looking forward to growing my business in South Florida.”
