Where is Christine Quinn now?

Christine Quinn now runs her own real estate brokerage with husband Christian Dumontet, named RealOpen. She also models, and hopes to pursue a career in acting.

RealOpen allows buyers to purchase property using cryptocurrency, with Christian Dumontet being one of the earliest adopters of cryptocurrency; he was responsible for enabling Bitcoin payments from 2013 for thousands of US and Canadian restaurants. Speaking to Forbes about her new business, Christine said "We were overwhelmed by the demand for RealOpen at launch. We've found a variety of credibility in the buyers that have presented themselves. As a result, we've streamlined our qualification process, in turn, providing this as a value-add to agents and sellers. In an industry segment that includes people with ‘creative personal finances,’ we are able to quickly advise agents and sellers about the credibility of a buyer."

As part of her modelling pursuits, 34-year-old Christine modelled for Balenciaga in 2022. Walking alongside the likes of Kim Kardashian and Dua Lipa, she showcased the brand's Fall/Winter 2022 Haute Couture collection during a runway show. Sharing multiple snaps of the show to Instagram at the time, Christine captioned one with "So honored to be a part of the Balenciaga Couture Show. Demna hand selected me a long time ago, and for that I am so humbled and grateful. My dress took over 3,500 hours to make, and each crystal was individually sewn on, one by one."

Also not ready to leave television behind completely after her Selling Sunset departure, Christine hopes to take part in more reality shows, and pursue serious acting roles - she had previous roles in Hot Tub Time Machine and Humans vs. Zombies prior to the Selling Sunset gig. She even has a project currently in the works, as she recently teased during an interview with Hollywood Reporter. She said "I’m acting on a show right now. I started out acting in scripted and I really wanted to get back into it."

Refusing to elaborate on the title or nature of the show, she added "I’m not saying I am Lady Gaga, but the fact that she can do these really big roles and pull it off, whether it’s American Horror Story or A Star Is Born, I want to do things like that." She concluded by alluding to the fact she wanted to balance modelling with acting, saying "I really want to get back to scripted and then, obviously, keep doing fashion, which is, you know, my number one love." 

Where is Davina Potratz now?

Davina Potratz left Selling Sunset in season 4 to work for rival brokerage Douglas Elliman. However, she soon returned asking for her job back. Although she still works for the Oppenheim Group, she rarely appears on the show anymore.

Speaking to People about her initial departure, Davina said "I'm really excited to be a part of Douglas Elliman and their very sophisticated and global new development division. My background is in new development sales and marketing, so this is just a wonderful opportunity for me. It's just very in tune with my skills." She added "It's not that I wanted to leave, but I had a great opportunity. It was a purely business decision."

Jason Oppenheim spoke out about her quitting, to wish her well. He said "Davina has always been a tremendous asset and a valued agent at the Oppenheim Group, and she is also a friend whose career decisions I very much respect and support. I will always want the best for Davina, and I hope that we continue to work together in the future."

Shortly after leaving, Davina was seen telling Christine Quinn that the project she had been working on with her new employer had come to an end and she wanted back in with the Oppenheim Group. However, she was concerned over returning to work for the business as she'd departed on less than good terms with Jason, and he was dubious about taking her back. The team eventually agreed to offer Davina her old job back, and she remains with the brokerage but with very little screen time. Responding to a fan who asked why she's rarely seen on screen anymore, she simply replied "Honestly no clue, you’ll have ask production."

In 2022 she announced the formation of the Maya Vander Group, aspiring to match the perfect property with the perfect buyer.

I'm proud to have achieved it."

She continued "Three years ago, I began studying for my exam, but the pandemic hit, and everything was put on hold. Months later, I received an email with an exam date just two weeks away. At first, I doubted myself and thought I couldn't do it. But with the encouragement of my Brother, I left my fears behind and began studying with all my heart. When the day came, I was nervous, but I knew deep down that I was ready for it. I passed my exam, and the feeling of joy was overwhelming. I couldn't stop crying tears of happiness." 

Vanessa later told People that her decision to leave Selling Sunset had been mutual with the show executives. She said "I always felt like I was the new girl in school. They're obviously super successful and it's an incredible show, but I have to make my own life and make my dreams come true."

Hinting that she didn't get on with some cast members, she added "Obviously you get along really well with some and don't click as well with others, and that's the show. Vanessa remains in touch with Maya and Christine, but that's it. She concluded "The rest are super nice, but we are not in contact right now." 

Where is Brett Oppenheim now?

Confirming that he wasn't technically leaving the Group but moving to streamline business and commissions, Mary said "Brett Oppenheim is just hanging his license differently because he’s a broker as well. And just for the sake of their relationship [with Jason], he’s just using his own license because they were just having arguments and stuff about like with clients and commissions and stuff like that" according to Showbiz Cheatsheet.

Brett still occasionally appears on the show, and the relationship with twin Jason appears to remain strong - he was on holiday to Greece with his brother when Jason met met latest love Marie-Lou Nurk.
