How Mauricio Umansky Really Feels About Working With His Daughters
Though "Housewives" favorite Kyle Richards didn't appear on "Buying Beverly Hills," her husband Mauricio Umansky got plenty of screen time on the Netflix reality show. After all, "Buying Beverly Hills" revolves around his highly successful real estate brokerage, The Agency, per Today. As the agents working there vary in level of experience, mistakes are made — resulting in plenty of workplace drama.
Besides showing off some of Los Angeles' most luxurious listings, the real-estate series focuses on the complications that emerge when family and work life mix. In "Buying Beverly Hills," agent Alexia Umansky, who is Mauricio's daughter, makes a splash into the spotlight. Farrah Brittany, Mauricio's stepdaughter, also leads the cast. While Farrah has lots of real estate experience under her belt, Alexia is still learning the ropes at The Agency. Alexia told People, "It's really scary putting your career out there for people to see, especially when you're trying so hard to make it and prove something."
Fans who've followed "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" know Mauricio and Kyle are incredibly loving and supportive of their daughters, but how does Mauricio feel about working with them on "Buying Beverly Hills?"
Mauricio Umansky loves working with his daughters
For Mauricio Umansky, one perk of filming "Buying Beverly Hills" stood above the rest. The CEO and founder of The Agency was elated to be working with his step-daughter Farrah Brittany and his daughter Alexia Umansky. He told Fox News, "For me, the experience to be able to film with my two daughters, Alexia and Farrah, in what we do every single day of our lives, which is work was extraordinarily fun."
However, challenges arise when family, work, and home life intersect — especially when it's captured on camera. According to People, Mauricio had to navigate balancing his roles as a boss and a dad. As Alexia lives at home, he's careful not to carry over stress from the office. While juggling work and home life with his family requires some effort, he wouldn't have it any other way. He told People, "Working with my family and my kids has been absolutely extraordinary ... They teach me something every single day and I love it. The fact that I get to do everything in my life with them both at work and at home, I wouldn't trade it for the world. It's a dream."
The feelings were mutual for Alexia Umansky and Farrah Brittany

The younger sibling further added, "It was fun. It was hard. It was emotional, and it really just made me a better person, agent and daughter."
In an interview with Manny The Movie Guy, Alexia and Mauricio Umansky candidly shared their thoughts about working on the show.
