'Million Dollar Listing's Tracy Tutor Explains How to Spend a Glamorous 5 Hours in Dallas, Texas

Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles showcases Tracy Tutor, 48, as a blonde bombshell who can seriously get a house sold. She's been a California resident all her life, but with recent changes in the market, she opted to open herself up to a new city with lots of lucrative options.

Enter Tutor's Dallas era. Ever a businesswoman at heart, she pivoted her business to match the demand she was seeing. "I started seeing an influx of people leaving California and moving to Texas and finding ranches and stuff like that, and it was about $50 million in business that I saw walk out the door," she told Parade exclusively.

Tutor got her Texas real estate license and got to work setting up a new team. "We're like 10 or 11 strong now [in Dallas] and then we have a wonderful team in Austin that we're building as well with about five people there," she says.

You might imagine that Texas has a bit of culture shock for a girl born and raised in California, but for Tutor, not so much. "Highland Park, we call it the the Beverly Hills of Texas," the real estate maven says. "So there's a lot of similarities."

While some things may feel like home, there are certainly some elements that do not. "I get to do things like tour properties with ropers. I never had a buyer who was a professional roper," the Beverly Hills native says. "We were on a tractor together and then a Polaris looking at land. So it's been really fun to sort of trade in the stilettos and throw on some boots and do things a little differently."

For the 48-year-old single mom, the Dallas dating scene has proven to be a nice change. "I think the one thing I will say about men in Texas, they're gentlemen," she says. "And there's something about the miss and the ma'am and the opening the doors and the standing up from the table."

"So it's nice to be in a totally different state and recognize that not all men are LA douchey," Tutor says with a laugh.

Tutor and her longtime boyfriend, Erik Anderson, broke up last year. They ended things when the 27-year-old decided he was ready for a family. "I'm just in a different phase in my life," the mom of two says.

"It was a beautiful three and a half years, but I think now I'm in a place where I'm looking for something more long term," she says.

Could that next long term move be in Texas? It's looking possible. Tutor has been spending so much time in Dallas, in fact, that she's got her own "bachelorette pad" in the city.

When asked if Dallas might get its feature on Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles, Tutor became a bit coy. "Maybe we might be able to deliver a whole new show. I mean, who knows? We'll see," she says with a sly smile.

Tracy Tutor's Recommendations for Five Glamorous Hours Spent in Dallas, Texas

1. Visit the "Beverly Hills of Dallas," Highland Park Village

Tracy Tutor knows a thing or two about a life of luxury. Have you seen the houses she sells?! So if she's calling an area the "Beverly Hills" of anywhere, then you know it's some good stuff.

"It's like a tiny version of Rodeo [Drive] and everything's just in one area, but it's so gorgeous to walk around there and all the trees are lit and there's great restaurants and the shops are so chic," she says.

And when Tracy Tutor says shopping, she means shopping. Think stores like Fendi, Chanel and Dior.

2. Hang with the Dallas Elites at Park House

"Park House is a beautiful private club," the luxury real estate agent says. "You should definitely try to get a reservation there, but it is private, so you're going to have to find a friend that's a member."

If you want to spring for a membership yourself, it comes in at an initiation fee of $6,800, plus $263 charged monthly.

Tutor enjoys taking her meetings at Park House, particularly if there's a ranch water involved. "When you go to Texas, that's where you get a ranch water. No one knows how to make it in LA. They try, but they're just not quite there yet," she says.

3. Head Out to a Rodeo

We're not talking about Rodeo Drive (this is Texas, after all!) Tutor wants to see some horses!

This is the one item on the list that Tutor has yet to check off herself, but it's definitely high up on her Texas bucket list. "Mom's trying to meet herself a rancher of some sort," she joked.

4. Eat Some Tex-Mex

"I am a Mexican food girl," Tutor says. "And the Tex-Mex in Dallas is fire."

For her Tex-Mex, she recommends Mi Cocina. "I mean, the food's great. There's better Tex-Mex, but there's those drinks and you have one of them and they're lethal," she jokes.

A Mambo Taxi is a "sangria-frozen margarita situation," she explains. And she notes that it's in your best interest to only have one. More than one and you might be in for more of a day than you bargained for!

5. Cheer on Your Favorite Team at a Sporting Event

Heading to see a game is an "absolute must," Tutor says.

"Whether it's going to a Cowboys game or going to watch the Mavs, these people are intense about their sport," she says. "Coming from a place where there's so many fairweather fans, doing something like that, it's a whole different experience."

6. See a Country Concert

Country music is a mainstay in Texas and something that Tutor is very happy to partake in. She excitedly told Parade she was heading out to see a Morgan Wallen concert the week following our interview.

Dallas has proven itself as a major player in the country music scene. The 2024 ACM Awards were even held there earlier this year. This means any artist you're hoping to see will likely make a pitstop in the great state of Texas.

7. Grab Some Barbecue

You simply can't go to Texas and not have barbecue! "The barbecue in Texas is no joke," Tutor advises. "But you've got to be careful about how often you eat it, because, you know, the jeans might not fit after a few weeks of barbecue."
