Every good reality show needs a resident lovable jerk, and on Netflix’s Selling The OC, Gio Helou is most definitely That Guy. Gio has the swagger of Vanderpump Rules’ Tom Sandoval, the possibly misplaced ego of Southern Charm’s Shep Rose, and if we’re talking about TV real estate personalities, throw Million Dollar Listing’s Josh Flagg and either Altman brother into that mix, and you can get a pretty good idea of the role Gio plays in the Oppenheim Group’s Newport Beach office.

That being said, Gio is his own man. In the Selling The OC Season 1 trailer, he says, “I really just wanna show everyone that this is the level I play in and to not f*ck with me.” Well, alrighty then!

Here’s everything you need to know about the Selling The OC agent, so you can see for yourself whether he’s just talking game or not.

To see more of Gio’s impeccable style, his wife, his mom, and his aspirational lifestyle in general, you can follow him on Instagram, where he posts almost daily.

Gio’s Real Estate Experience

Before becoming a licensed real estate agent, Gio’s Oppenheim Group bio says he worked in residential development. Being born and raised in Orange County and knowing the Newport Beach market like the back of his hand led the O Group to recruit him as one of the first agents to join the new office. His bio says, “Gio is a force in the OC luxury real estate world and brings local expertise and an unmatched reputation to the team. Specializing in high-end properties in prestigious beachfront enclaves, Gio exclusively sells the best of the Newport Beach lifestyle — and lives it too.”

Given that he’s seen cruising around Newport Beach in his flashy Porsche and seemingly endless collection of motorcycles, touring some of the most expensive listings, and closing some of the biggest deals at the new office, Gio really does seem to walk the talk.
