Who Is Kaylee Ricciardi On ‘Selling The OC’? Meet Season 4’s New Agent

A new season of Netflix‘s Selling Sunset spinoff, Selling The OC, means a fresh batch of Oppenheim Group agents, including Kaylee Ricciardi.

Season 4 of the hit real estate reality series welcomed Fiona Belle, Ashtyn Zerboni, and Kaylee Ricciardi, to the O Group’s Newport Beach office. And after a season jam-packed with drama, we have a feeling that Kaylee — who repeatedly tried to be a voice of reason amongst her colleagues — has the potential to become a fan-favorite cast member.

So who is Kaylee Ricciardi on Selling The OC Season 4? How did she handle herself on her debut season? And how did she meet porn star client Riley Reed? We’ve got answers!

Here’s what to know about Kaylee on Selling Sunset including her Instagram account, major Season 4 storylines, and comments from Kayee herself.

Who Is Kaylee Ricciardi On Selling The OC? Meet Season 4’s New Agent, The Queen Of The Dessert

Per Kaylee’s official Oppenheim Group bio, the realtor associate is “a Boston native who studied Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Colorado.” When the season filmed, she was 35 years old with 13 years of real estate under her belt. Unlike most of the O Group agents we see on Selling Sunset and Selling The OC, Kaylee focuses on “the intersection of luxury real estate, fashion, and high-profile brand activations.” Her bio also reveals she has a background in fashion modeling and works with “top recording artists, fashion designers, and professional athletes.”

“I got my start at Coachella doing luxury vacation rentals, and that snowballed into me getting my license about five years ago now,” Kaylee explained in Season 4. “This niche has allowed me to create a network from celebrities to the biggest CEOs in the world.” Throughout the season, we see several of Kaylee’s famous clients, including porn star Riley Reid and Diplo.

“I’ve only known Riley for about a year. One of my best friends was working for her, and we just became friends. She’s really great, and I’m telling you, that crowd of people was completely organic,” Kaylee told Decider over Zoom, referencing fans that flocked out of an O Group showing for Riley in Episode 2. “We had Riley walk into the house to film entrance and that two minutes of her being outside created a group of like 20 to 25 young gentlemen fans. It was completely organic. It was crazy. She is for sure the Ariana Grande of porn.”

Kaylee, who Jason calls “Queen of the Desert,” also revealed that she’d worked for the O Group for about a year when Season 4 was filming, and she’d dated one of Austin Victoria’s best friend from LA. As far as Season 4 drama went, Kaylee repeatedly stressed that she was not there for it and tried to diffuse tense situations within the group on several occasions.

“All the other petty stuff, I just don’t care about it. In my free time, I like to have fun, and laugh, and smile, and hang with my friends, eat good food,” Kaylee said. “I don’t want to sit around and gossip the whole time. Like my god, go to fucking therapy.”

Though Kaylee admittedly thought Tyler Stanaland was hot, because of Alex’s history with him, she didn’t pursue the potential. And Kaylee’s colleagues, like Brandi Marshall, definitely notice her no-nonsense work ethic. “Kaylee didn’t really need my advice. I think she is very intuitive and she came onto the scene very aware and careful,” Brandi told Decider via Zoom.

If you want to learn more about Kaylee outside of the show, you can follow her on Instagram at @kayleericciardi, where she had 118,000 followers ahead of Season 4’s premiere.

Selling The OC Season 4 is now streaming on Netflix.
