Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles

- Season 3

(2009)

In the worst market he's ever seen, Josh lists a rundown Beverly Hills mansion to sell it quickly, but his potential buyer continuously thwarts negotiations. Meanwhile, Chad puts his reputation on the line by listing a million-dollar home for a spa owner, and Madison eagerly takes on the Malibu estate of a flirtatious sex advice author.

When Josh Flagg balks at a listing two hours away, Grandma Edith lectures him about his work ethic. With a buyer and seller digging in their heels, Josh Altman is headed towards failure. Madison suffers a devastating personal loss.

Chad and Madison are both invited to speak at a real estate conference in Arizona where the topic is the declining market for high-end homes, while Josh expands his sales territory by listing a $10 million mansion in Orange County's Newport Coast. Chad also tries to broaden his territory by listing a tiny bungalow, but finds that the home is plagued with a problem that threatens to scare away buyers.

Josh wants a listing on 20 acres of ocean view land in Malibu, while Madison hunts for investment properties for one of his most demanding clients. Chad lists a Hollywood Hills pad that should be a slam-dunk with the help of another agent and also asks his girlfriend Victoria a question that will make or break their relationship.

Competition between the agents heats up in Malibu when Chad tries to steal one of Madison's former listings, while Madison tries to take on a different yet familiar Malibu listing with an ocean view. Josh makes a spur of the moment gamble while also dealing with a potential health issue.

Josh thinks he can move a less than stellar Hollywood Hills home by focusing on its spectacular city views and Madison puts his friendship and his reputation at risk when he suggests a home lease. Meanwhile, Chad lists a $10-million gem in Orange County's exclusive waterfront Corona Del Mar neighborhood, but struggles to balance the sale of the house with his relationship with Victoria.

Josh attempts to list the house of his friend and travels with his Grandmother in an effort to sort out his memory issues while Chad wins a listing for a prime Hollywood condo and gets a surprising birthday gift from Victoria. Madison attempts to find the "ideal" Malibu home and also attends a Hollywood event, discovering that it is hosted by Chad.

Josh runs into trouble with another Beverly Hills agent, while Chad and Madison struggle to compete for a high-end condo. Chad also attempts to balance time with Victoria and a big-name client and Madison thinks he may have revealed too much when he "strips down" for a good cause. Drama ensues when all three realtors are drawn towards an open house in Malibu.

Josh tries to move a half-demolished home in Beverly Hills only to have a buyer's agent tear into him during negotiations. Chad thinks he's listing a house for a friend, but finds out first-hand how the foreclosure problem is taking its toll. He then tries to win back Victoria by mixing business and pleasure. Madison goes the extra mile to sell a family's dream home, but the reality of the housing market makes an unwanted visit. An LA broker invites Chad, Madison and Josh to help him work on a good cause, but clashing egos stir up drama amongst the three.
