BABY BLISS Who is former Selling Sunset star, Maya Vander?

NETFLIX's Selling Sunset is set to return for its highly anticipated sixth season in May 2023, promising plenty of drama for fans.

Former reality TV star Maya Vander, known for her role on Selling Sunset, recently welcomed a baby girl. Throughout her career, Maya has been a real estate agent and has lived in various countries, including Israel, the Netherlands, Spain, and Singapore, before settling in Los Angeles and later in Miami.

Despite leaving the show in 2022, Maya remains connected to the Oppenheim Group in Los Angeles and continues her successful career in real estate, working with Douglas Elliman Real Estate and, more recently, Compass in Miami and Los Angeles.

In December 2020, Maya founded The Maya Vander Group to be closer to her family in Miami. However, she officially left Selling Sunset in June 2022 to focus on her business ventures on the east coast.

Maya's personal life is kept private on social media, and details about her husband are limited. The couple resides in Miami and shares two children.

While on Selling Sunset, Maya openly shared her struggles with pregnancy, including previous miscarriages. Despite these challenges, she welcomed her first child, son Aiden, in February 2019, and daughter Elle Madison in May 2020. In May 2023, Maya revealed she was nine months pregnant with her third child after experiencing a late-term pregnancy loss in December 2021 and a miscarriage in June 2022.

Season 6 of Selling Sunset is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on May 19, 2023, with 11 new episodes. Fans can anticipate more drama as two new agents, Bre Tiesi and Nicole Young, join the Oppenheim Group office.

3 expenses you can skip before listing your home, according to 'Selling Sunset' stars

Buying and selling a home is often an emotional process for people, but at the end of the day, it's a financial decision.

And if you're selling your property, it's important to make changes to your home that will increase its resale value.

But people who aren't experienced in the world of real estate may struggle to know what they should — and shouldn't — spend money on when getting their home prepared for a sale.

Insider spoke to stars of Netflix's "Selling Sunset" and real-estate experts Mary Bonnet (née Fitzgerald) and Maya Vander about the home improvements sellers can skip before listing their homes.


"If you have a completely dated bathroom and kitchen and you want any model to increase value, those are the first two locations I would recommend people to focus on," Vander said.

But that doesn't mean you have to spend thousands of dollars on a brand-new refrigerator, stove, and wine fridge.

As Bonnet said, appliances that look fairly new will usually be enough for buyers.

However, appliances that look dated likely need to be replaced to maintain the value of a home.

"If you got a 1990 white fridge or that old yellow kind, get rid of it," Bonnet said.

Be careful when you make changes to your floors
When you're putting your home up for sale, it's important for it to look new and clean, particularly features like floors and walls, as both Bonnet and Vander told Insider.

'Selling Sunset's Maya Vander Speaks Out on Her Exit From Netflix Show

Maya Vander is signing off from Selling Sunset.

The realtor, who fans first met in the premiere of the Netflix series back in 2019, spoke out about her exit from the show in a message shared to social media. "So...I'm very proud of my Selling Sunset family for getting two more seasons and hopefully Emmy nomination," she began. "I decided to not go on with the show and it was not an easy decision!"

While Vander is saying goodbye, she's leaving with love. "Being a part of such a successful hit is absolutely amazing and I am so grateful for!!" she noted.

The reality star also addressed her recent personal losses, telling fans, "The last few months were not easy. Losing a baby at 38 weeks following a miscarriage is just too much to handle. I just want to be home with my husband and beautiful kids who I absolutely adore."

Earlier this week, Vander told fans that she had suffered a miscarriage after 10 weeks. In December 2021, she opened up to fans about the stillbirth of her baby boy at 38 weeks. The star is mom to a son, Aiden, and a daughter, Elle.

Though she's stepping away from TV, Vander is not hanging up her real estate hat, but rather getting a change of scenery. "Focusing on growing my Maya Vander Group and joining Compass, " she said, "is the right decision for me to move forward."

On Thursday, Vander officially announced that her eponymous real estate group, based in Florida, had joined with Compass.

"The Maya Vander Group is so excited for this next chapter," she wrote on Instagram, "as we continue to take over the Miami luxury real estate market. #TheMayaVanderGroup."

While fans won't be seeing Vander on their small screens, there's still plenty of Selling Sunset heading their way -- Netflix announced this week that the show has been renewed for two more seasons.

Meanwhile, if the show does pick up more Emmy nominations, it sounds like fans will have to keep their eyes peeled for Vander on the red carpet. As she wrote, "I am so grateful for @netflix.. Adam, Skyler and of course Jason for such a great run! Now... let's get an Emmy."

Selling Sunset’s Maya Vander begs show to ‘bring real estate back’ after season 6 rows

Selling Sunset returned to Netflix earlier this month as the cameras caught up with the latest goings-on at The Oppenheim Group in LA.

The show has become renowned for showing off the west coast’s most luxurious properties while intertwining the real-life feuds and rows that inevitably emerge from the competitive agents.

There was also a big change to the look of the show in season six as former series favorites Christine Quinn and Maya Vander bid farewell while new cast members Bre Tiesi and Nicole Young entered the fray.

Season six appeared to veer away from the formula which made it much-loved among fans, however, focusing much of its time on the newfound feud between long-serving stalwart Chrishell Stause and newcomer Nicole.

Things exploded between the two throughout the series, including shocking drug-using claims made by Chrishell, while plenty of other rows emanated across the episodes.

Now, watching from afar, it seems Maya isn’t impressed with seeing how the show depicted the feuds among the cast, insisting the show should get back to its core - the properties on show.

Her comments came on Instagram in response to former cast mate Heather Rae El Moussa who took to the social media platform to celebrate the show’s ongoing success.

Heather penned to her followers: “It’s crazy to think that I’ve been here since the day Selling Sunset started. The OGs were just a group of really hardworking women but we had no idea where this show was going to take us.

“Now here we are- #1 in the US and so many other countries on @netflix, all living our lives, being bosses, and growing over time.

"You guys have seen me through so many stages of my life (the good and the bad) just through Selling Sunset, alone, so if you’ve been here since day one, what’s been the biggest POSITIVE takeaway from the show?

“Let’s focus on the good and talk about what your favorite season was or how the show inspired you or anything along those lines… I would love to hear from you.”

Among the replies was Maya who hit out at the series: “Love season 1 [wink emoji] I always said that! Bring the real estate back.”

And Maya wasn’t alone as several fans echoed her comments, with @jchristmannn replying: “Literallyyyyy I wanna see the housessss with a little drama not the other way around.”
