The Oppenheim Group Now Has a Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Office—See Inside


Since Selling Sunset premiered on Netflix in 2019, the real estate reality show about The Oppenheim Group has become quite the cultural phenomenon. Cast members, like fan-favorite Chrishell Stause and even polarizing villain Christine Quinn, have become celebrities in their own right, and Heather Rae Young’s marriage to HGTV star Tarek El Moussa has created a bona fide real estate power couple who are now a tabloid fixture and are expecting their first child together. 

For the president and founder of the brokerage, Jason Oppenheim, the success of the show has meant the expansion of the business. In 2021, he opened a second location in Newport Beach, California, and by this summer, Netflix released a spin-off show called Selling the OC, which follows a whole new group of real estate agents in the picturesque suburb. 

Now, Oppenheim is taking his business international, opening up an outpost in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. “I selected Cabo because there is a considerable confluence between those who live in Los Angeles and Newport Beach and those who buy property in Cabo,” the lawyer-turned-realtor tells AD. And even though we have no doubt that this is true, Cabo also seems perfectly suited to the work hard, play hard culture that makes for such good TV. 

The new venture is a partnership with real estate developer Grupo Questro, and the office is located within a rotunda overlooking a pool and the ocean at one of their properties, Hacienda Beach Club & Residences. It is already staffed with agents, though cameras have not yet descended in paradise. “There are no plans for a separate Cabo show just yet, but I think fans can expect to see Cabo real estate and our new office on either Selling Sunset or Selling the OC,” Oppenheim says. “Every agent from our other offices was ecstatic to hear that we were opening a new office in Cabo. We all want to vacation there more now.” 

When it came to the design of the new space, Oppenheim enlisted husband-and-wife team Alice Kwan Becheru and Alex Becheru, who together run White Glove Estates, a design and home staging company. They are longtime friends of Oppenheim, and also designed the industrial-looking Newport Beach office. Cabo called for a different vibe entirely, and the result captures the beach-y aesthetic of the area perfectly, utilizing a much lighter color palette than previous Oppenheim Group offices. “We opted to embrace the natural elements by accentuating the light color schemes of the surrounding landscape and bringing in travertine and wood details, playing with a cleaner, more contemporary approach,” Kwan Becheru tells AD.
