Who is Alanna Gold, the newest agent in season 8 of Selling Sunset?

It seems Gold's decision to refocus was probably the best option, especially for her health. “I took the opportunity because I'm actually allergic to animals, so that wasn't a good path for me,” she told the outlet.

During the pandemic, she trained as a real estate agent.

After pursuing a modeling career that took her all over the world, Gold decided to move to Los Angeles. Hit by the reality of the COVID-19 pandemic, Gold saw an opportunity to change her path again. “When everything kind of came to a standstill, I knew this was a great opportunity to pursue my [real estate] License,” she explained People“So I really just spent these months studying.”

Although she had a successful modeling career, Gold fell in love with real estate, which eventually led to her being cast in Sell ​​sunset“When I started working in this industry, I was hooked and realized I didn't want to go back to modeling,” she told the outlet. “I really wanted to put all my time into the real estate industry.”

She has a “deep connection to the desert.”

In episodes 5 and 6 of season 8, Gold joins Mary Fitzgerald, Nicole Young and Amanza Smith on a trip to Pioneertown in San Bernardino County, California. Pioneertown was once a movie set, but continues to be a tourist destination, attracting visitors from all over the world. Perhaps most importantly, Pioneertown is owned by Alanna and her husband, Adam Gold.

Alanna told how she finally came to this unique city People“We've always loved it and in fact it was the place we made one of our first trips to.” So purchasing this tourist destination was probably a no-brainer for Alanaa and her husband. “We always knew we wanted to own a piece of land there or be part of the community in some way,” she explained.

Alanna's husband encouraged her to join Sell ​​sunset.

Participating in an incredibly successful reality TV show would not appeal to everyone. After all, the cast of Sell ​​sunset have been involved in some heated arguments over the years. Fortunately, Alanna had the support of her husband Adam to take the opportunity. “He was very helpful throughout the whole process and I think he was actually a reason why I felt very confident that I could do it,” she said People“I knew I had his support and that we were a team in every way.”
