Over the last three seasons of Selling the OC, there has not only been a lot of volatility in the real estate market but also massive volatility in the office and between the realtors. Interpersonal conflicts, wayward business negotiations, and reputation-damaging gossip have all been at the forefront of the show. In season 3, Jason announced that the OC branch was the top-performing office. The O Group also has new offices in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and San Diego.

"We wanted a baby for so long, and he's almost here, and I feel like a mess. There's constant fighting, and selfishly, I've been acting out a little bit. I've been coping with that stress by going out more, and I'm probably partying more than I used to."
