"L'Agence", a sort of French-style "Selling Sunset", arrives on TMC

In L'Agence, luxury real estate is a family affair.

-

• The first episode of

  L'Agence

  can be viewed on myTF1 before it airs on TMC on September 24 at 9:15 p.m.

• This docu-reality follows the members of a family working together in a real estate agency specializing in luxury real estate.

• “We started working on it two years ago,”

   Guillaume Wanneroy, Managing Director of Reservoir Prod,

  told 

  20 Minutes

  , specifying that the similarities with

  Selling Sunset 

  on Netflix are “coincidence”.

If you are told: "This is a docu-reality following real estate agents in their professional activities but also in their private life", do you think of…?

As long as you subscribe to Netflix, you will undoubtedly answer

.

This American show, of which three seasons are available, shows the daily life of an agency in Los Angeles with its pros from luxury real estate to Hollywood looks.

From now on, we will also have to reckon with

, launched Thursday, September 24, at 9:15 p.m., on TMC, the first episode of which is already available on the TF1 group's website.

A very French program which is not an adaptation of the American concept.

"It's a coincidence,"

Guillaume Wanneroy, Managing Director of Reservoir Prod, told

.

We started working on it two years ago.

The idea is good, apparently.

"They are full of life, serious, funny, have doubts"

The specifications aimed to offer something "innovative around the field of real estate, with a more immersive approach", he explains.

During the casting, one profile stood out.

Or rather several profiles since the professionals of

form… a family.

In this case Sandrine and Olivier, the parents, working with their sons Martin, 31, Valentin, 29 and Louis, 25.

Raphaël, the 16-year-old high school student and Majo, the whimsical grandmother complete the picture.

"They are full of life, serious, funny, have doubts", list Guillaume Wanneroy.

A good cast of very real characters that the public will discover between Montmartre and Ibiza, trying to close contracts worth several million euros.

Sometimes, with personalities such as Fabrice Luchini who does not fail to do his number in the first episodes.

"It amused him," says the general manager of Reservoir Prod.

It is never easy to obtain the presence of people, but we ensure a certain discretion on the exact location of the places visited.

"

Majo "took us into his story"

The Agency

also shows more intimate moments, such as Martin's wedding or a team-building session in which one of the family members splits the armor.

Some situations seem to lack spontaneity - perhaps the presence of the cameras influences the behavior?

- but Guillaume Wanneroy guarantees it, the sentimental investigations of Majo that his grandsons register on a dating site for seniors, have nothing scripted: "She has her temperament and enough impetus, it is she who us took him in his story.

"

So far, five episodes have been delivered to TMC.

The production obviously hopes for a sequel because there is “still plenty to tell”.

The family, whose activity was at a standstill during confinement saw things pick up "significantly".

Guillaume Wanneroy assures him: “They are preparing to have new requests after the broadcast of the program.
