Million Dollar Listing's Madison
He's the cocky Malibu broker who's got tongues wagging on Bravo's reality series Million Dollar Listing. Madison Hildebrand takes questions exclusively for users of Uinterview.com
- Q: Is it challenging constantly being covered by camera crews everywhere?
- A: The biggest challenge is getting my clients comfortable with the cameras, filming the process of a very personal ordeal. I have gotten clients on board and old clients on board, and it’s just about finding something that worked. It does slow down my day, and it is a lot of extra time. It adds to the pressure, but it’s fun.
- Q: Do some of your clients hate the idea of being on camera?
- A: Some of my clients want nothing to do with it. I respect that 100%. Many of my deals are not on camera. For some of them, I sign confidentiality agreements when I start working with them.
- Q: What’s the craziest experience you’ve ever had with a client?
- A: One the craziest showings I ever did, I was showing a property that was 9000-square feet. It’s a gorgeous property, and the owner was there when I showed the property, which is always a weird situation. The owner’s had her macaws, parrots, flying squirrels, dogs, cats everywhere. Everything was uncaged. Flying in the kitchen, crapping on the bed. Mushrooms were growing out of the sink because there was a water leak. It was frightening, but they thought there was nothing wrong with the way they were living. It was my most shocking showing. And the sex author who we have on the show this season – she’s a handful.
- Q: What’s it is it like working with celebrity clients?
- A: Celebrities are really more distant in the transaction. There are so many more layers. I will have an initially meeting with them, but then I have to send it to a business manager, an attorney, an assistant. It’s definitely more complex than a regular deal. They usually have very savvy representation, so I really have to be on top of my game.
