Netflix has added another spin-off to the much-loved Selling Sunset and Selling The OC, with their latest real-estate reality show, Selling The City. The series introduces viewers to a new batch of glamorous agents at the Douglas Elliman agency, ready to take New York by storm – one designer high heel and celebrity connection at a time. One of the stand-out stars of the series is Jordyn Taylor Braff, who was a singer before she moved to the cut-throat world of real estate.
Here’s everything you need to know about her…

Before switching her career to real estate in 2016, she was a recording artist, signed to Interscope Records. Her song Accessory was included in the Confessions of a Shopaholic soundtrack in 2009.
How old is Jordyn Taylor Braff?

What is Jordyn’s role in Selling The City?
Jordyn is a bi-coastal real-estate agent at the Douglas Elliman agency alongside Eleanora Sugro, Jade Chan, Taylor Middleton, Gisselle Meneses Nunez, Abigail Godfrey, Justin Tuinstra and Steven Gold. She operates in both New York City and Los Angeles. Her profile at Douglas Elliman reads that she has a ‘passion for luxury real estate, a background in the entertainment industry and a heart dedicated to philanthropy’.
‘My journey from the entertainment world to real estate has equipped me with a keen understanding of the power of connections, the importance of social engagement and the art of delivering unparalleled experiences to my clients,’ she says. ‘My background in the entertainment industry instilled in me the value of creativity and innovation, which I seamlessly integrate into the world of real estate.’
And she adds, ‘I thrive on meeting new people, forging lasting friendships and transforming these connections into meaningful client relationships.’
Who is Jordyn Taylor Braff’s husband?
Jordyn Taylor Braff is not married.
Who has Jordyn Taylor Braff dated?
Jordyn dated South African comedian and former Daily Show host Trevor Noah between 2015 and 2018, and he's the reason behind her move to the Big Apple. ‘He and I met on Twitter, which is so random. I was here visiting and we met up but I was so nervous. He’s a celebrity, but, at the time, he was a nobody. No one knew who he was,’ she said of her ex on Selling The City.
After their split, she decided to stay in NYC. ‘Love kept me here but not love for him, love for the city,’ she said.
She revealed that Trevor gave her real estate career a boost when she started off in New York City. ‘He ended up purchasing an apartment – it was my first ultra-luxury deal,’ she said. ‘I think it was a $10 million (£8m) deal. It’s the only time you’ll ever hear that I slept with a client. But yeah, it catapulted me past the rental, and the lower-end sales and got me into luxury, which was awesome.’
Jordyn claimed that she inspired some of his comedy too. ‘I was the funnier one in the relationship. Trevor borrowed me for material all the time,’ she recalled. ‘I think I was the subject of jokes from time to time, but he would also steal my material, a hundred percent.’
She also revealed that she gave Trevor some notice about her talking about him on Selling The City, before the show aired. ‘I reached out to Trevor to just give him a heads up beforehand. I wanted to kind of nip it in the bud a little bit,’ she said.
Wait, does Jordyn also know Michael B Jordan?
Jordyn revealed that she is ‘still working on it’ when it comes to having Michael B Jordan as her client, after her colleague Gisselle and the Hollywood actor were in a ‘situationship’ seven years ago.
