Who Is Buying Beverly Hills Star, Ben Belack?

If you're a fan of luxury real estate reality shows, chances are you'll love "Buying Beverly Hills." The Netflix series focuses on the real estate agents who work at The Agency, which is run by "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Kyle Richards' husband, Mauricio Umansky. The show features Umansky's daughters, Alexia Umansky and Farrah Brittany, along with several other talented agents with varying degrees of experience. The series gives viewers a glimpse of some very lavish homes in Los Angeles. And, of course, there's plenty of work drama in and outside the firm.

One of the more established agents on "Buying Beverly Hills" is Ben Belack. According to his bio on The Agency website, his official title is "Director, Residential Estates." He's been a real estate agent for about 10 years. With his extensive knowledge of the market and clear comfort on-camera, viewers can sense that he's a highly experienced agent. So, what else is there to know about Belack?

Ben Belack hasn't always had his heart set on real estate. According to his LinkedIn page, he graduated from San Diego State University in 2001, where he majored in psychology. Before entering the world of real estate, he worked in the hospitality industry, per his bio on The Agency website. He was also an actor with small roles in "Jane the Virgin" and "Veronica Mars," according to IMDb.

Belack is also a YouTuber with several thousand subscribers. On his channel, he gives house tours of multi-million dollar homes. In a 2018 interview for his YouTube channel "Living in Los Angeles – Ben Belack," he gave some insight into his real estate career. When asked how he got into the real estate industry, he replied, "It was a bit random, actually. I came to Los Angeles on a creative path as an actor. And like most actors, I was waiting tables at night to free up my days for auditions." In fact, his experience in fine dining actually inspired him to start working in real estate. He continued, "I started to think that there would be a place for me selling things that were much larger in scale. Also, I had an innate instinct that formed as far as accommodation in service. So, I wanted to apply that to something bigger and more exciting."

So, what's the inside scoop on Ben Belack's personal life? According to Women's Health, the realtor is in a relationship with Amanda York, who also works at The Agency. The couple went Instagram official in fall of 2020, per The Cinemaholic. In 2022, Belack created a "Happy Birthday" Instagram post for his girlfriend. In the caption, he wrote, "Thank you for being my confidant, master tracker, mom du poôfs, and partner. No one makes me laugh in the way you do." Fans can follow the couple's relationship more closely on "Buying Beverly Hills."

York and Belack's relationship isn't the only one that garnered attention on the reality show. If you have seen "Buying Beverly Hills," then you are familiar with Belack and his co-star Joey Ben-Zvi's love-hate relationship. Despite their competition, Ben-Zvi ends up impressing Belack, who offers him a spot on his team (which Ben-Zvi turns down). After the show aired, Belack was complimentary of his co-worker. Or, was he? In a November 2022 Instagram post, Belack shared a playful video of him and Ben-Zvi at The Agency. The caption said, "When @benbelack loses a bet to @joeybenzvi." Belack jokingly remarked, "Communication. Sophistication. Pricing nuance and marketing prowess is how I describe Joey Ben-Zvi. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go vomit." Viewers took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the funny pair. One user wrote, "What a bromance." Another person commented, "The duo we never knew we needed!!!"
