In the book, theBuying Beverly Hillsstar shares details about his business and family and opens up about the lessons he’s learned throughout his life.
“My life has been full of amazing insights and lessons,” Umansky says. “I teach and share my life lessons. Whether it has to do with business, relationships, as a father, as a husband, as a CEO, or as a real estate agent — I share these things with The Agency all the time. I feel like I have a lot to share, and I want to share it with a broader audience.”
Richards' sister Kathy Hilton and her family make a cameo in the book.
According to a press release, Umansky discusses “the challenges of his childhood to outgrowing his father’s textile company and falling out with his brother-in-law Rick Hilton, while also raising a family and maintaining a strong marriage for over twenty-six years.”

“All of us have obstacles on a daily basis,” Umansky, who left his brother-in-law’s company, Hilton & Hyland, to start his own business in 2011, shares. “That’s just part of life, and it’s all about how you deal with those obstacles in order to move forward. I think that this is going to be a book that’s real. It’s unfiltered.”
For Umansky, picking the title ofThe Real Dealcame easy and is a nod to the hit Bravo show he appears on with Richards.

Although fans of Umansky and Richards have to wait until April 2023 to get their hands on a copy ofThe Real Deal, the author says it’ll be worth it.
“It’s an easy read that you can really take a lot from,” Umansky adds.
