Mercedes ‘MJ’ Javid Discusses Working for Mauricio Umansky

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like working for Mauricio Umansky at The Agency, Shahs of Sunset star Mercedes “MJ” Javid has the answer.

She recently appeared on Watch What Happens Live to talk about her run on The Traitors, and a virtual caller asked her about her employer-employee relationship. She must have known that her boss (or his estranged wife) might have been watching at home because MJ had nothing but kind things to say about Mauricio.

The best boss ever?

In 2023, MJ announced that she was making a major career move by joining Mauricio’s sometimes-infamous real estate firm, The Agency. She wrote on Instagram at the time, “It is with great excitement and pride that I get to announce my new home with [The Agency].”

Fast forward a year, and MJ has managed not to get fired. It also sounds like she has a wonderful work relationship with Mauricio. She said he’s an incredible boss who’s reliable and an expert at what he does.

“I have a lot of interaction with him we have meetings every week. You can text him, and he’s a phone call away,” MJ shared.

Of course, Kyle Richards can’t say the same about Mauricio. On Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, we’ve watched him prioritize The Agency over his marriage. Sometimes, the best bosses make for the most mediocre husbands. Either way, MJ had nothing but nice things to say about her time at The Agency.

Continuing to rave about Mauricio, she said, “He’s so amazing. We’re really with the best players in the game, so that’s why I love being there.”

According to MJ’s bio on The Agency’s website, she’s a “consistent top producer” for the firm. So, maybe it’s time for her to make a cameo on Mauricio’s Buying Beverly Hills. That would be a match made in Bravo heaven.

TELL US – WERE YOU SURPRISED TO LEARN THAT MJ SCORED A JOB AT THE AGENCY? DO YOU THINK MAURICIO WOULD MAKE A GOOD BOSS?
