Real Housewives of Beverly Hillsstar Dorit Kemsleyand her husband Paul “PK” are attempting to sell offtheir Beverly Hills home, yet again.
The pair appeared onMillion Dollar Listing: L.A.on Thursday, where they attempted to close a deal on the property, known as “Dawnridge,” which wasfirst listedin August 2017 for $12.75 million.
During the episode, realtors James Harris andDavid Parnestake a second stab at selling the six-bedroom, seven-bathroom abode located near the Beverly Hills Hotel after it had failed to attract a buyer for months.
“It was way overpriced and as a result, it’s been sitting on the market for almost six months with nothing—no interest,” Parnes says.

With his new realtors, PK, an English businessman who also manages Boy George’s career, agreed to significantly drop the asking price to $8.995 million with the hope of not dipping below $8.5 million on a final offer.
However, after the agents throw a brokers' open house and Parnes gets his first offer of $7.45 million with a counter offer at $7.7 million, things go south for the sale thanks to PK.

“We will sell this house at $8.5 million,” PK says. “That’s the price. Take it or leave it. I know what you’re doing. You’re trying to work me down and you’re wasting your time,” he adds. “I want you to get me the price that you said you’d get me.”

He then decides to take matters into his own hands and calls the potential buyers' broker to negotiate the deal himself, claiming that he’s saving them two weeks of time going back and forth attempting to counter when he could tell them his take-it-or-leave-it offer up front. When the buyers pull out, PK seems disappointed, as does Parnes, who thinks PK was responsible for killing the deal.
“I’m not desperate to sell,” PK says during the episode.
In 2016, a judge ordered PK to pay up, the papers state, and PK made a small payment on the debt, Kirzis claims. Currently, he allegedly still owes $1,275,221.48.
“Reports of my family’s downfall have been greatly exaggerated …. please see an image of the shoes I’ve just got Dorit,” he wrote.
PK is also at the center of another legal battle. The Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas issuing himfor unpaid casino markers. PK argued that the bankruptcy filing had wiped the $3.6 million owed. He agreed to make payments until June 2018, but stopped paying — still owing over $2 million.
During theMDLLAepisode, which was likely filmed in 2018, PK and Dorit make no mention of their financial situation, and Dorit says they are selling the home because her family has “essentially outgrown” it.
“The reality is for us and the way we live, the backyard is not big enough for us and for the kids,” PK says.
During the episode, Bravo acknowledges the robbery, and announces that PK and Dorit pulled their home “off the market until further notice.”
On Monday, the home was re-listed with another $1 million price drop to $7.995 million, according toRealtor.com. The new listing agent isMyra Nourmand of Nourmand & Associates-Beverly Hills.
