Ahead of her much-anticipated Bravo return, Mercedes “MJ” Javid blessed fans with another quick update on her real estate career. 

On Thursday, June 12, the former cast member of “Shahs of Sunset” shared a collection of pictures featuring her and her colleagues from The Agency, a prestigious real estate firm established by Mauricio Umansky, the husband of a cast member from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” The photos were taken during an open house event in Sherman Oaks and included shots of MJ standing in front of a step-and-repeat backdrop with Mauricio, as well as her fellow “Shahs of Sunset” castmates, Reza Farahan and Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi.

As per information from The Agency website, MJ embarked on her real estate journey shortly after completing her studies at California State University, Northridge. She initially assisted her father, who worked as a developer, in negotiations, rapidly developing her business acumen and building connections within the Los Angeles real estate market.

Prior to her current position, MJ worked alongside Reza as a real estate agent at Keller Williams Realty before transitioning to Mauricio’s company in early 2023. The announcement of her career move was made via an Instagram post, where she expressed gratitude to Mauricio and Emil Hartoonian, the managing partner at The Agency.

“It is with great excitement and pride that I get to announce my new home with [The Agency],” she captioned the February 28, 2023, post. “I am so grateful for [Emil] who is an incredible industry leader. [Mauricio] for creating such an incredible league of consummate professionals. Stay tuned!”

During her time with The Agency, MJ has helped secure dozens of real estate transactions, including the sales of multi-million-dollar properties in Beverly Hills, Valley Village, and Los Angeles.

MJ shed more light on her career on the Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen After Show, when a viewer asked what it was like to have Mauricio as a boss. 

“I mean, do you have any interaction with him really?” host Andy Cohen added.

“I have a lot of interaction with him,” MJ said during the January 2024 episode. “We have meetings every week. You can text him, and he’s a phone call away…He’s so amazing. We’re really with the best players in the game, so that’s why I love being there. There are so many other partners that are part of what makes The Agency. So, it’s incredible.”

What’s next for MJ Javid and her former Shahs of Sunset castmates?

MJ was introduced to the Bravo-verse in 2012 as part of the original Shahs of Sunset cast. She, Reza, and GG appeared in the series until its 2021 finale and will reunite for the upcoming reality show  The Valley Persian Style (working title). Bravo’s Hot Mic Podcast host and Bravo executive producer Alex Baskin confirmed the news on Instagram last month.

“Welcome to [The Valley] and [32 Flavors] family,” he captioned a BravoCon photo of the trio. “Thrilled to do this Persian style! We’re honored to bring a new series with this [Bravo] and reality royalty to life! Can’t wait to introduce the entire friend group!”
