While we’re patiently waiting for Netflix to confirm the fourth season of Selling Sunset, it seems that the drama is still continuing over at The Oppenheim Group as one of the stars of the show has revealed she’s quit the brokerage to join a rival firm.

Real estate agent and reality villain Davina Potratz has announced she’s leaving Jason Oppenheim, Christine Quinn, Chrishell Stause and co behind to join Douglas Elliman in Beverly Hills.

“I'm really excited to be a part of Douglas Elliman and their very sophisticated and global new development division,” she told PEOPLE.

"My background is in new development sales and marketing, so this is just a wonderful opportunity for me. It's just very in tune with my skills."

“It’s not that I wanted to leave, but I had a great opportunity. It was a purely business decision.”

Why we're sold on Selling Sunset

City of stars

When the likes of J-Lo and Nicole Scherzinger are on your books, there's no time to be starstruck. But that's not a problem when the brokers have starry connections of their own. Chrishell was married to This Is Us' Justin Hartley (sore point – he dumped her during filming), and was herself a daytime soap actress before getting her realtor's licence, while former NBA cheerleader Amanza dated actor Taye Diggs. Because this is Hollywood, most of the ladies working at Oppenheim are ex-models and actresses, and Heather was a Playboy Playmate.

Bosses with benefits

You might think it's awkward to work for your ex-boyfriend, but Mary has no such problem with Jason, who co-owns the brokerage with his twin brother Brett. In fact, the cast don't just work together, they play together, and often launch into all their personal dramz during office hours. The scandal of it all! But when they're not hugging and kissing, they're destroying each other with the bitterest war of words. At this point, we've honestly lost count of how many people Christine's fallen out with.

Jaw-dropping digs

If that $44m property we mentioned is a bit modest for you, how about a $75m house, with nine bedrooms, 12 bathrooms and, of course, its own helipad? And it's not just the buyers and sellers who are rolling in dough – when the property price is so high, an agent can expect to earn over a million dollars in commission alone! Guess that's how they can afford all those Ferraris and Louboutins...

Queen of mean

All hail Christine, the self-appointed MVP of Selling Sunset. Christine doesn't do subtlety – her couture outfits, cutting put-downs and claws-out catfights are so extra, they deserve their own spin-off series. Let's not forget, this is the lady who said she wanted a very "casual" engagement party... "with a sexual Phantom Of The Opera theme, a zebra, and Cirque du Soleil performers hanging out in the back." She also doesn't bite her tongue when it comes to having it out with her co-workers and making them earn their keep. Remember when she said that new girl Chrishell should "sit on the floor until she proves herself"? We love her and hate her all at once.

Work hard, play hard

Honestly, zebras are small fry when it comes to Christine's wedding, which included chocolate gargoyle table settings, fake snow falling as she walked down the aisle, and four live swans. But it's not just the private functions that push the invite envelope – imagine going to an open house that offers free burgers and Botox upon arrival.

Cut-throat clients

No one has more exacting standards than a client at The Oppenheim Group. And why shouldn't they? They've got money to burn and future house guests to impress. We particularly enjoy Alexandra, the monotone, impossible-to-please app entrepreneur, who gives Chrishell a major ticking off when she doesn't meet the brief, telling her, "My time is important." Special mention goes to Kim Kardashian's frenemy Larsa Pippen, who complains that a walk-in closet the size of our flat isn't big enough. Worse, there isn't parking space for her 12 cars.

Despite falling out with the likes of Mary Fitzgerald and Romain Bonnet, it seems Davina’s former colleagues wish her well in her new venture.

“Davina has always been a tremendous asset and a valued agent at the Oppenheim Group, and she is also a friend whose career decisions I very much respect and support,” said The Oppenheim Group boss Jason.

And there’s no need to panic too much as Davina doesn’t think she’s leaving Selling Sunset despite no longer working with the rest of the cast.

She continued, “I certainly hope that I’m still part of the cast. Brett is not at the Oppenheim Group anymore either, so I don’t think that that’s going to be an issue at all.”

The best series to watch after you've binged Selling Sunset

Although we’re still waiting for official confirmation of series four, Chrishell hinted at some “good news we can’t tell you about” in a recent Instagram post.

Christine also teased a new series, telling Glamour, "The girls are fed up with the favouritism of Mary in the office, we don’t know who will move where. It may be the battle of the brokerages. I think season four is going to be the juiciest season ever."

Eek, we can’t wait.
