Renowned reality TV star and real estate mogul Jason Oppenheim, of Netflix’s Selling Sunset fame, has spotlighted the Gold Coast as a “hidden gem” in the global property market. The Glitter Strip, as it’s known, offers luxury homes at a 60% discount compared to similar properties in the United States, according to Oppenheim.
The 47-year-old recently toured some of the most prestigious properties on the market, hosted by Michael Kollosche, managing director of Kollosche Real Estate, alongside agents Jamie Harrison and Matthew Follent. Among the showcased properties were an opulent mansion at 8 Southern Cross Drive on Cronin Island and a luxurious apartment in Dune at Main Beach.
