This is something that Maya says is intentional, saying there’s a “tricky” line between not wanting to get involved in drama but also remaining relevant to the group’s dynamics. Ever the voice of reason, Maya is honest with an edge, saying what’s on everyone’s minds without even the tiniest hint of snark. Unlike many of her office counterparts, she doesn’t spend on splashy designers, preferring instead to buy from brands like Theory, Reiss and Intermix. Her humor is subtle but lingers, always requiring a few seconds of silent processing before the eventual laugh comes. She typically remains neutral among the group’s Cold War–esque alliances. Maya isn’t Chrishell or Christine, Sunset’s two perennial contenders for top dog, and she doesn’t try to be. Throughout her time on the show, the camera has followed Maya alongside some of her biggest moments as she dips her toes into development and grows her family, and even as she discovers she’s pregnant for the first time in Season 1. During Season 5, Maya says goodbye to the show after three years of catfights, couture and increasingly opulent brokers’ opens, instead choosing to live and work full-time alongside her husband and children in Miami. Sunset’s first agent is taking her final bow. When it’s not all of us, when it’s just a couple of girls, we can all catch up and really talk to each other.” “But when you’re filming for three hours, four hours, the cameras are just rolling, and we’re just talking. “Obviously, I’m in Miami, so I fly, and I always tell the producers, ‘I don't want to fly all the way to do an office scene,’ ”she says from her Florida home.
These kinds of moments are what Maya will miss the most about filming the show. The room is always filled with the sound of long nails clacking away on Macbooks, before someone inevitably breaks the silence with a wild comment and a laugh - the camaraderie that’s at stake while everyone is fighting. It’s airy and homey, with exposed brick walls and brown leather couches framing the agents’ signature aluminum desks.
Sitting at the corner of two streets named “Sunset,” the O Group’s office hasn’t changed much despite three years of reality television fame (and counting). Nestled among drone shots of luxe McMansions and slow-motion entrances of real estate agents dripping in designer labels, these kinds of moments are at the heart of Selling Sunset. “My producer told me that it almost didn’t make the cut!” “People always comment on that line for whatever reason,” Maya says of the Season 1, Episode 6 phrase, a mistranslation from her native Hebrew. The joke - seemingly a filler moment in between dramatic plotlines - would soon become one of the 39-year-old’s most iconic quotes.
