Who Is Buying Beverly Hills Star, Jon Grauman?
"Buying Beverly Hills" has given fans a taste of what it's like to work as a top real estate agent in the dreamy Los Angeles location. Of course, part of the show's appeal is getting the chance to see the details of plenty of lavish multi-million dollar homes.
