ev Schulman, the former host of “Catfish,” has floated the idea of a reality series focused on his real‑estate career, but he says his first priority is mastering the business and building a client roster. In a recent interview, the TV personality explained that he’s still learning how to guide buyers to their dream homes and feels a show would add pressure at this early stage. He and his father—an experienced realtor—have discussed the possibility, and his dad believes a show will eventually materialize.
Schulman clarified that he isn’t abandoning reality television entirely; he has other projects in development, just not yet real‑estate themed. He would welcome a pitch from a production company, but it isn’t a current focus. He also said that his father, who has spent decades in real‑estate, has been encouraging him to consider a TV format, and the older man is confident the concept will eventually find a network. While Schulman has other reality projects in the pipeline—though none yet focused on property sales—he remains open to a production team’s proposal, simply prioritizing hands‑on experience over screen time.
Drawing on his “Catfish” background, Nev highlighted how his knack for vetting online claims translates to real‑estate research, ensuring listings are legitimate. He also noted that his public profile could be an asset, as viewers already recognize and trust him. He pointed out that his experience on “Catfish” has sharpened his ability to scrutinize online information, a skill he says is invaluable when verifying property listings. Moreover, his established persona could attract viewers who already trust his authenticity.
If a new real‑estate firm were to launch a reality‑TV venture, Schulman predicts it could challenge the dominance of shows like “Selling Sunset” and “Million Dollar Listing,” bringing a fresh perspective to the genre.
