High glam, no budget.
“No budget,” Tiesi tells PEOPLE exclusively. “They don’t help with anything, nor do they pay for any of it. I want to make that very clear.”

To swing those luxury looks, Tiesi reveals that the cast often does not outright buy the clothes featured on the show. In fact, they primarily “pull” the items from showrooms, wearing them on the show before returning them.
“The outlandish type of stuff is usually not [purchased],” Tiesi says. “I can’t speak for all of us, but I know for me, they’re usually a pull.”
Of course, if the celebrity real estate agents love the look enough, they may just have to buy it. “Some girls do buy stuff," she says. “Some of the stuff works out amazingly and you love it and keep it, or they’re staple pieces.”
Tiesi also added that in addition to showrooms, there’s always the option of partnering with brands and stores who will loan out clothes. Some cast members may also get pieces gifted.
“Normally I go on Instagram and look for up-and-coming brands,” Tiesi details. “My wardrobe will be up-and-coming people or pulled from a showroom or borrowed from the showrooms. … We usually use a variety of avenues because we are doing multiple looks a week, sometimes multiple a day. So if that’s the case, you’re going through hundreds of outfits [for the season]. And most of that doesn’t even make it.”

“There’s no way I could have ever made it — having a newborn — without all of these people,” Tiesi says. “From my assistant, to multiple stylists, to my glam team, which is hair and makeup — he’s also a photographer. I mean, I would’ve never done this without them.”
And all of those people are understandably paid out of her pocket, she reiterates. But before it gets confusing, she does get a paycheck for the show, just not anadditionalone for all of this.
PEOPLE reached out to Netflix for comment but did not immediately hear back.
