Luxury Broker Tracy Tutor Joins ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’
“Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles” star Tracy Tutor is adding to her résumé—this time branching beyond real estate to the heady world of reality TV drama by joining the cast of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”
Just over a year after her other Bravo show was put on an indefinite hiatus, Tutor, 51, took to social media to confirm that she is ready to step back in front of the cameras. She is the first cast member to officially announce her involvement in Season 16.
“Well … the secret’s officially out,” the luxury broker announced in an Instagram post. “I’m joining the cast of ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ and I could not be more excited for this next chapter.”
The California native also took the opportunity to share a little hometown pride.
“Beverly Hills is home. I’ve raised my girls here, built my career here, and now apparently I’ve decided to let you all even further into my life,” she wrote, adding a laughing emoji for sass.
“Excited? Very. Nervous? A little. Likely to get into some trouble? Absolutely,” Tutor continued. “So what’s left to say but let’s f—ing go.”
Fans of “Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles”—which Tutor joined as the first female cast member on Season 10 in 2017 through her departure in 2024—already know she’s a strong-willed, tough negotiator.
With 24 years of experience in the industry, and now working as a broker with Compass, she has earned a reputation for having a very no-nonsense attitude.
Tutor was exposed to the world of real estate as a child, as a result of “growing up as the daughter of one of the most successful public works contractors in the country.” Her father, Ronald Tutor, worked on infrastructure, focusing on hotels, bridges, and tunnels.
“My dad is a tough son of a b—h, and that’s why I’m tough,” she told Realtor.com® in 2024. “Being a woman in real estate today at the highest level, you have to be pretty damn tough.
“It’s shark-infested waters out there, and if you don’t know how to handle that, you ain’t gonna survive. I’m grateful to have that background.”
Tracy Tutor’s background is that of a true Los Angeleno. Her professional real estate bio notes she’s lived all over Southern California, from Hollywood Hills to Hidden Hills.
“Having had a lot of opportunity to travel, I still believe that the lifestyle in Los Angeles can’t be beat,” the bio reads. “When you walk outdoors in mid-December without so much as a coat, you have to be grateful, right?”
These days, Tutor resides in Beverly Hills with her daughters, Juliet Maltas and Scarlet Maltas, whom she shares with actor Jason Maltas. The couple married in 2004, ultimately divorcing in 2018.
Following the split, Tutor and her daughters moved out of the family’s 11,500-square-foot home in pursuit of something cozier.
She purchased her current dwelling in 2022 with the help of former “Million Dollar Listing” co-star Josh Flagg. The process was documented on the show’s 13th season, which revealed that Flagg had waived his commission on the sale so she could afford it.
“It was a really sweet moment because I really didn’t think I was going to get the house at that point,” Tutor told People magazine.
Tutor opened up about her Beverly Hills abode with Realtor.com in 2024, sharing gorgeous photos and all kinds of details about the 5,000-square-foot house, which includes a 600-square-foot guesthouse that she uses as a gym.
“It’s 1920s Spanish architecture,” she explained at the time. It was fresh off a gut renovation. “The inside is a lot more transitional modern but cozy. I don’t like things to be too modern and too harsh.
“It’s a very comfortable house. It feels like when I sit in my backyard, I’m on vacation, which is what you need when you work as hard as I do,” she continued.
The picture-perfect abode is truly a relaxing sanctuary. Adorned with warm neutrals and subtle texture, it’s been beautifully decorated.
In addition to her life in California, Tutor spends plenty of time in the Lone Star State. In 2024, she expanded her business to Texas, building a team in Austin and Dallas.
At the time, she described the new endeavor as “exciting,” as it’s “very different from California, obviously.”
In Texas, she resides in an apartment in Highland Park, an affluent neighborhood north of Dallas.
“It’s only a one-bedroom, but I have a huge patio and an outdoor living space, so we furnished that as well, and that’s been fun,” she said.
It’s safe to bet Tutor will share more of her career and home life with the world on “RHOBH,” but how she’ll fit into the group is still to be determined. Tutor has a yearslong friendship with original cast member Kyle Richards‘ estranged husband, real estate mogul Mauricio Umansky, and has previously publicly clashed with star Dorit Kemsley.
