Everything about "Selling Sunset" Star Alanna Gold

If you're a fan of the show “Selling Sunset”,  you're in for a treat because this newcomer is   about to shake things up in season 8. In this  video, we're diving into the world of luxury   real estate and reality TV as we introduce you to  the newest star of "Selling Sunset" - Alanna Gold. So, who exactly is Alanna Gold? Well,  she's not your typical real estate   agent. This small-town girl-turned-model  has taken an unexpected path to become the   latest addition to the Oppenheim Group.  Let's unpack her journey and get to know   the woman who's set to make waves in the  glitzy world of Los Angeles real estate. Alanna's story begins far from the glamour  of Hollywood. She actually started out as a   veterinary student, believe it or not! But life  had different plans for her. During an exclusive   interview with PEOPLE, Alanna opened up about  her unique journey to real estate. She said,   "The path I was headed when I was studying to  be a vet is not the path that I see myself on   today. I'm so grateful that I got  thrown in a different direction." Alanna's life took a dramatic turn when  she embarked on a whirlwind modeling   career. This new chapter in her life  sent her jet-setting around the world,   with stops in major fashion capitals  like Tokyo, New York City, and Paris. After her globetrotting adventures, Alanna  settled in New York City for nearly five years.   But as fate would have it, a two-month modeling  gig brought her to Los Angeles, and she fell   in love with the City of Angels. Alanna realized  that L.A. was where she wanted to put down roots. Now, you might be wondering how a model  goes from posing for the camera to selling   multi-million dollar homes. Well, Alanna's  transition to real estate happened during   an unexpected time - the pandemic. She felt  a desire to "do something bigger" in L.A.,   and that's when she decided to take the  plunge into the world of real estate. Alanna didn't waste any time. She  immediately started studying for her   real estate license during the pandemic. She  was determined to succeed in this new field,   saying, "I really wanted to put  all my time into real estate." Her hard work paid off. According to her LinkedIn  profile, Alanna began her journey in the luxury   property market in 2020. Before joining the famous  Oppenheim Group, she cut her teeth at Westside   Estate Agency, gaining valuable experience  in the competitive L.A. real estate scene. Now, let's talk about what Alanna brings to  the table on "Selling Sunset." First off,   she's got a strong social media game.  Even before her debut on the show,   Alanna had amassed an impressive 20 thousand  followers on Instagram. Her feed is filled with   stunning modeling shots, giving us a glimpse  into her previous career and her keen eye for   aesthetics - a skill that's sure to come in  handy when staging those luxurious L.A. homes. In the trailer for "Selling Sunset"  season 8, Alanna drops a bombshell that   leaves her castmates - and viewers  - stunned. She casually mentions,   "I own a little Western town in the  desert." When fellow cast member Bre   Tiesi responds with a shocked "A town?",  we know we're in for some serious drama. So what's the deal with this mysterious Western  town? Well, it turns out that Alanna has links   to a place called Cosmic Ranch, a luxury vacation  rental in Pioneertown. For those who don't know,   Pioneertown is a late nineteenth-century-themed  town in San Bernardino County, California. It   was originally built as a set for Western  movies, giving it a unique, old-timey charm. The Cosmic Ranch property that Alanna is  associated with is pretty impressive. We're   talking about a 2.5-acre estate with  three bedrooms and three bathrooms,   nestled "among the gently sloping mountains,"  according to the Airbnb listing. The ranch-style   home comes complete with a yoga room,  an outdoor patio with skyline views,   and a private hot tub. Sounds like  the perfect getaway spot, right? But that's not all. Alanna's Instagram bio  also mentions Pioneertown Land Company,   which is described as a historic  campground available for booking   events, filming, and good old-fashioned camping. In a recent interview, Alanna shared her thoughts  on owning this unique property. She said,   "It's very special and it's an opportunity  that I don't think will ever come by again.   I think it's something we would hold on to."  This statement gives us a peek into Alanna's   business mindset and her ability to recognize  and capitalize on unique opportunities - a   skill that will undoubtedly serve her well  in the cutthroat world of luxury real estate. Now, let's talk about what we can expect  from Alanna on "Selling Sunset." The   show is known for its drama, and it  looks like Alanna is ready to bring   it. In the season 8 trailer, we see her  taking her castmates to her Western town,   with everyone dressed up in their  best cowboy and cowgirl attire. Alanna will be joining familiar faces like  Chrishell Stause, Bre Tiesi, Amanza Smith,   and Emma Hernan. She's also coming in at a time of  significant change for the show. Chelsea Lazkani,   another cast member, is set to return  with some major personal drama as fans   will witness her divorce from husband  Jeff Lazkani unfold in real-time. On the personal front, Alanna Whittaker  tied the knot with her husband, Adam Gold,   in a beautiful ceremony in  July 2022. The couple's love   story is as swift and exciting  as Alanna's career trajectory. Alanna has been relatively  private about her relationship,   but she hasn’t shied away from expressing  her gratitude for her partner’s support. “He was very helpful through the process and  I think he was actually one reason why I felt   very confident to be able to do it. I knew  I had his support and I knew we’re a team   through everything,” Alanna said, referring  to her decision to join Selling Sunset. One interesting tidbit -  as of early September 2024,   Alanna still hasn't been added to the  Oppenheim Group team members page on   their website. Could this be a sign  of some behind-the-scenes drama? Or   are they just waiting for her big debut on  the show? We'll have to tune in to find out! Alanna herself confirmed her participation in the  show through an Instagram post in August 2024,   where she shared the season trailer  with the caption "Secrets out ". Will Alanna's unique experiences and  business ventures give her an edge in   the high-stakes world of L.A. real estate?  How will she fit in with the existing cast   members? And what drama will unfold in  that mysterious Western town? These are   just some of the questions we can't wait to  see answered when "Selling Sunset" returns. So there you have it, folks - a sneak  peek into the life of Alanna Gold,   the newest star of "Selling Sunset." From  the veterinary clinic to the catwalk,   and now to the glitzy world of luxury real  estate, Alanna's journey is anything but ordinary.
