Tal, Oren and Alon Alexander were each sentenced to 30 years in prison on Tuesday. The sordid tale that led to their conviction is told in three parts in The Wolves of Real Estate: The Alexander Brothers, a new documentary released on Peacock on Sunday.
Tal and Oren Alexander were top luxury real estate agents working in New York and Miami, with a roster of wealthy clients and record-breaking deals for sprawling Florida homes and Manhattan apartments. Tal and Oren started their real estate careers at Douglas Elliman, later going on to start their own firm, Official Partners. (Alon, Oren’s twin brother, was not in real estate, choosing to run the family’s private security firm, Kent Security, instead.)
The tale of all three brothers, spanning a privileged childhood in Miami to convictions on all counts they faced — including sex trafficking and sexual assault — in March 2026, is presented in the documentary as one of privilege, ambition and sexual predation — exploring the trappings of immense financial success.
The documentary covers decades in the lives of twins Oren and Alon Alexander, and their slightly older brother Tal, from an adolescence in Miami that allegedly included predatory behavior to their bombshell trial in New York.
The documentary’s first episode kicks off with a focus on 2011 to 2014 — a period of time when Tal and Oren were at the peak of their real estate careers — but it goes all the way up to 2024, when The Real Deal uncovered the story that led to their arrests.
The documentary series also flashes back to the early 2000s, when the brothers were in middle school and high school, where they were accused of predatory sexual behavior and bullying.
The documentary’s director, Emma Schwartz, also executive produced and co-directed The Fall of Diddy for HBO Max. The crossovers don’t end there; the documentary points out that Oren hired Sean Combs’ legal team to defend him, and Juda Engelmayer, a public relations/crisis consultant who’s featured in the documentary, has worked with Combs, too.
Here are some of the key takeaways from the documentary, which explores the rise and fall of these one-time darlings of the high-end real estate industry.
A privileged childhood, with alleged bad behavior
The Alexanders grew up in the wealthy Miami Beach enclave of Bal Harbour, and their parents, Shlomi and Orly Alexander, founded Kent Security, a private security firm. The documentary suggests that part of their drive for financial success and career domination stemmed from the Alexander brothers — children of immigrants who came to the U.S. — feeling somewhat inadequate among their even wealthier neighbors.
The Alexander brothers are depicted as party boys, shown through interviews with their fellow high school students. As teenagers, they would throw big parties and charge their friends and acquaintances for them.
“That hustler mentality helped me throughout my lifetime,” Oren says on a pre-recorded video from his time as an agent.

Many students also accuse them of sexual predation and bullying behavior during their early years. The documentary implies that a lack of consequences during their adolescence paved the way for the Alexanders to continue this bad behavior well into adulthood.
Real estate industry stars
The brothers, who ran the Alexander Team (or so-called “A Team”) at Douglas Elliman, were known for working hard and playing hard in New York and Miami. James D. Walsh, a reporter with New York magazine who wrote about the case, says in the documentary that their clientele was heavily skewed toward wealthy, divorced men who appreciated the real estate transactions as much as the attractive women the Alexander brothers would introduce them to.
They also benefited from the newly minted celebrity status of agents, created in part by the popularity of real estate reality series Million Dollar Listing (note: the Alexander brothers never appeared on that reality series).
Before they were officially indicted, the rumor mill was filled with stories of inappropriate behavior, according to both former Douglas Elliman employees and journalists.
Jonathan Miller, a former consultant for Douglas Elliman, recounts a story where a friend of his, a high-powered agent, experienced first-hand Oren’s inappropriate behavior at a restaurant; she left the lunch early and told her friends she’d never do business with them, ever. “I heard across the industry, from multiple people … to stay away,” Miller says in the documentary.
The brothers’ own words don’t help their case either. In a video recording from the pilot of a 2011 reality TV show that was never made, Oren eerily says, “My goal is to hunt a client and hunt a female.”
To the Alexanders, “women are products — apartments to be bought, sold and traded,” Walsh says in the documentary.

Tal and Oren’s first record-breaking deal was a $47 million house on Indian Creek, an island off of Miami, a house their father, Shlomi, had developed. To set those records, they could be cutthroat: Brian Meier, a former associate broker at Douglas Elliman, who’s featured throughout the documentary, says they stole a big New York City client from him.
Meier says he thinks part of their rise was due to their relationship with Howard Lorber, then-CEO of Douglas Elliman (at the end of episode 1, a statement from Lorber says his relationship with them was purely business, and that he was unaware of the behavior until the media reports).
Tal and Oren eventually left Douglas Elliman and started their own company, called Official Partners, where they focused on ultra-wealthy clients. (The documentary shows clips from sleek, highly produced videos, branded as a real estate firm for the richest people in the world).
Breaking the story
While the documentary interviews former Douglas Elliman employees and says that there had been salacious rumors about the brothers for years within the industry, everything came to a head in June 2024, when The Real Deal reported on two lawsuits brought against the brothers in New York, which eventually turned into three and implicated all three brothers.
The brothers were accused of trafficking, drugging and raping women.
The Real Deal reporters Katherine Kallergis and Sheridan Wall are featured throughout the documentary describing their exclusive reporting, which led to a flurry of media coverage and ultimately the Alexander brothers’ arrests for sex trafficking, conspiracy to commit sex trafficking and sexual assault.
After the stories broke on The Real Deal and elsewhere in the media, dozens of women began to come forward to accuse all three Alexander brothers, according to Evan Torgan, an attorney for the victims, who’s featured in The Wolves of Real Estate.
Many were then victims of threats and intimidation, according to documentary interviews with the victims.

The legal fallout
Arrests happened in predawn raids at the brothers’ multimillion-dollar homes in Miami in December 2024.
Prosecutors in the trial in New York’s Southern District, which took place in early 2026, argued that the brothers ran a sex trafficking scheme, luring women to upscale travel spots like the Hamptons and drugging and raping them.
In March 2026, after a five-week trial with 11 victim testimonies and nearly three days of deliberations, a jury convicted the Alexander brothers on all 10 charges.
And this week, Judge Valerie E. Caproni sentenced all three brothers to life in prison; they were eligible for life in prison and defense attorneys requested that the judge impose a sentence of 15 years for each sibling. The brothers also face a number of civil lawsuits.
The documentary mentions several times that the brothers deny the allegations and plan to appeal, something their attorneys have previously stated. On Tuesday, according to reports, the brothers denied that they had done anything illegal. The family also hired attorney Alan Dershowitz to seek a presidential pardon, according to The New York Times.
