Warning: Spoilers
Good actors, well filmed and holds your interest for the whole movie. The reason for the 5 is the script needed more tweaking and the story is lacking a lot of depth.

Spoiler alert: the psycho realtor who seems to teach (income) and sell houses (income), even offering her "assistant" Shelby the commission of 12k despite the fact she lives next to her office, struggles to pay rent and the assistant is just newly qualified (unbelievable). Where does she shower? Why is living in an office? Why can't she afford the rent despite having successful sales and a job? You don't see her using drugs or gambling so it's just unanswered.

So Shelby randomly opens the door for a room next to the office, discovers the realtor is living there. When a complaint is made against Shelby, Shelby reports that the realtor is living in the office and then backstabs her to take millions from the woman by stealing her 'deal'. Bc living in a windowless room isn't punishment enough. Shelby thinks she's amazing with all 2 mins of experience, completely unaware as to why she "backstabbed" the realtor even though the buyer confirms that she did backstab. However the deal itself is too vague. The whole deal is based on Shelby having a better idea for the property but is she developing the entire land? Or just selling the property on behalf of someone else. The idea one real estate agent is some how a developer and the buyer is investing in one single agent is just not realistic. But if you ignore the unrealistic elements then it's quite a good film.
