In 2017, the famed Hollywood star purchased a contemporary mansion in Clearwater, Florida for $3 million under Hawker Investment Trust, Travolta and his late wife Kelly Preston’s go-to trust in which his sisters are listed as trustees. Located a mere mile from the Scientology headquarters, Travolta has served as a devout member of the controversial Church of Scientology since 1975. Clearwater also provides residence to fellow Scientologists Tom Cruise, who lives in a downtown penthouse, and Kirstie Alley, who owns a multi-residence waterfront compound.

Now, Travolta is bidding farewell to his former Florida home for $4 million. The property was initially listed in March for $4.65 million but nonetheless, the 67-year-old actor is walking away with a profit. This sale comes about a year following the passing of his late wife Kelly Preston in their home due to breast cancer. In January 2020, Travolta sold his $18 million Spanish-style mansion in Los Angeles and earlier this year, parted ways with his longtime waterfront residence in Maine for $5 million. He currently owns a $2.65 million Calabasas home which he purchased with Preston in 2019.

Travolta’s former Florida home spans more than an acre of picturesque land and includes five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. The open floor interior presents a modern two-story staircase and spacious foyer. The living area is equipped with an electric fireplace. The kitchen offers bar seating and a breakfast space. Upstairs, the primary suite features an ensuite bathroom with a contemporary encased spa bath and a terrace overlooking the harbor. Other luxe amenities of the home include a seaside infinity-edge pool, a separate one-room cabana, and an artist’s studio with a bath. Resting on the western shores of Clearwater Harbor, the waterfront estate is heavily gated and surrounded by foliage. The exterior space consists of an expansive boat dock and boasts panoramic views of the gleaming coast and skyline.

Rafal Wazio at Coldwell Banker Residential represented both sides of this deal.

To gain relevance is one thing, but to keep that popularity is entirely another. American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and actor, Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi, renowned under the name Kid Cudi, has done both of these things while staying humble and relatable through it all. The 37-year-old multi-talented musical tycoon has been candid about his ongoing battle with mental illnesses, ultimately creating a cult fanbase who not only appreciates his musical genius but also admires him for his raw resilience and character. With so many facets and talents to him, Cudi could be working on anything after the release of his most recent, uber-successful 2020 album, Man On The Moon III: The Chosen. Though Kid Cudi’s next musical move remains unspecified and entirely unknown, the rap legend will be making moves, and hopefully mixing music soon, in his new Calabasas mansion. Kid Cudi’s most recent endeavor, the purchase of a massive Calabasas estate for $7.7 million, could serve as a permanent home for the celebrated rapper, or as an adept investment. As a multidimensional, incredibly rounded individual, Cudi’s branch into real estate investment would not invoke disbelief. Whatever the intent of his recent grand purchase, we’re certain Cudi’s new residence will galvanize and inspire him to make fresh music.

The two-time Grammy winner is moving into a neighborhood where he’ll definitely feel at home, with neighbors who boast impressive status in the rap community, the Man On The Moon singer will be situated amongst the stars as he makes his marvelous move. Calabasas, CA notoriously attracts the ultra-rich and famous, so Cudi’s striking list of neighbors, which includes Drake, Will Smith, Jada Pinkett, and frequent collaborator with Kid Cudi, Kanye West, is to be expected. Perhaps the two music magnates will collaborate once more in the midst of Kanye West’s split from Kim Kardashian. Whatever the case may be, Cudi is set to move into an enormous, and stunning, Californian enclave. 

The newly remodeled 2001 mansion flaunts six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and 9,000-square-feet, and sits atop a hill behind double gates for an air of grandeur. Spread over 11.5 acres, the expansive home is a true vision, and comes complete with a fitness center, a home theatre, and a temperature-controlled wine cellar room as some of the amenities. Additionally, the sight of splendor offers a refined two-story entrance with a double staircase, a gorgeous living room connecting to a bar area, an elegant dining room, a freshly updated chef’s kitchen, complete with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and direct access from the elevated family room to the adjacent outdoor area. Just up the stairs, guests will be greeted by five en-suite bedrooms with remodeled and furnished bathrooms, a vast loft space, and of course, the master suite which is fit for a king. Featuring a private balcony, dual walk-in closets, a bathroom with both a shower and a tub as well as dual vanities, and a sitting room, the luxurious master suite will absolutely spoil the hip-hop music icon. The exterior living spaces of the property are just as exciting and lavish as the interior, with a pool that includes a grotto, slide, dolphin fountains, waterfalls, and spa, the home, just like its main resident himself, is built to entertain. The vast lot also includes a beautiful vineyard which could potentially inspire a Kid Cudi wine label in the future, a putting green and sport court for the athletically-inclined, a serene turtle pond, a fire pit with bench seating which overlooks the stunning stars and breathtaking mountain view, and an outdoor fireplace beside a Tiki-style hut with a built-in grill. 

In essence, Kid Cudi’s originally listed as $8.3M but purchased at $7.7M home is an absolute dream and is so well-deserved by the hardworking and multi-talented rap mogul.

Julianne Moffet with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices represented the listing.

Jeffree Star, mogul of YouTube and self-proclaimed “makeup magician,” lover of luxury and color, and no stranger to controversy, decides its time to sever his ties to California, selling his $20M Hidden Hills mansion and planning to move to his 70-acre ranch in wild Wyoming.

The glamorous makeup artist purchased the expansive Hidden Hills property in 2019 from the hedge fund manager, Jeffrey Feinberg, for just below $15 million. Star, in his Hidden Hills home, definitely lived among the stars as his celebrity neighbors included Kim Kardashian West, Drake, and the equally scandalous family to Star: Lori Loughlin, Mossimo Giannulli, and their daughter, Olivia Jade, who, similarly to Star, have fled their high-brow and high-profile Los Angeles-area home for a modern farmhouse rumored to be near Star’s own future estate.

Due to his passion for individuality and color, Star spent the past two years adding vibrant flair and eye-catching customizations throughout the luxurious home. Perhaps these unique additions contribute to the Uber-expensive price tag; the on-the-market estate boasts its position as the fourth most expensive listing in the area. Complete with seven bedrooms and thirteen bathrooms over the 21,000 square foot lot, it is not difficult to justify the price. Star’s former home is a vision of grandeur and opulent French-inspired elegance. Splendid chandeliers and coffered ceilings over formal dining and living rooms, five-bedroom suites featuring custom closets, fireplaces, and an unforgettable view, as well as spacious kitchens and amenities, such as a gym, steam room, and sauna all classify this pink palace to be truly fit for a king. In addition, the property includes two guesthouses, a ten-car garage, a home theatre, a game room, a wine cellar, a swimming pool, patio, and pink lounge area, of course, and finally, a 3,700 square foot barn. This barn may have predicted Star’s love for quiet and lonesome luxury or pushed him to pursue that lifestyle once and for all. According to Star’s Twitter, he intends to focus on writing his awaited autobiography surrounded by wild Wyoming’s rocky terrain and topography. 

Whether you love Jeffree Star or hate him, his swap of luxurious Calabasas to desolate but beautiful Wyoming is a turn that nobody expected.

Watch their conversation below.

The topics included Fridman’s illustrious career from assisting his mother in their family business, his growth of knowledge and expertise in the Los Angeles, California area, and his ascendancy to the top 1% of the luxury real estate market.

With over $3 billion in career sales, and breaking the $500,000,000 mark for closed sales in a single year, Tomer continues to be ranked as one of America’s Best Real Estate Agents by Wall Street Journal/Real Trends. Growing up in Los Angeles in a real estate family, he claims, “there was always real estate talk at the dinner table when I was younger.” He continues, “I really started as my mom’s assistant. I put up signs, learned the business by meeting clients, knowing the inventory, and knowing the product. That is an invaluable tool. It is a great learning experience on site.”

Seth Semilof: Tell us a little about yourself. Where did you grow up? Where were you born?

Tomer Fridman: I was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, but I grew up in L.A. and I grew up in a real estate family. My mom was an agent. She still is. She is my business partner. I came into a premade business and my job was to expand it. It was a double edged sword because when you come into a family owned business, you really have to step it up and you really have to perform, The way I see it is if you do not know how to mop the floor, you cannot be in the corner office.

SS: When was the first time you brought in a deal?

TF: I represented a very, very high-profile singer. I thought, “I’m not even in this caliber to represent someone like this,” but I showed the houses very methodically. You have to know the product. You have to know your stuff. They were impressed enough to start with that and from there, I built a substantial entertainment based clientele, but the first one was Britney Spears.

SS: In your opinion, what makes a successful realtor?

TF: I am just the service provider and my clients are the focal point. I always try to make the client and the property the focal point rather than me. I pride myself in not being a sales person. I am more of an advisor, a consultant, and sometimes a confidant. You are dealing with homes and not just houses. However, you also have to look at return on investment. You have to look at all these contingencies and balance the business and the emotional side.

SS: I would love to hear about where your mom's business was and how you as a team grew it to the next level.

TF: You have to build your brand identity. The most important thing is having the integrity and knowing the product. I was very, very product driven while my mom was more business driven. I took great pride in knowing the product and we are great combination. It is an evolution of honing your skills, so we were very lucky to build a very, very big business out of Calabasas.

SS: How would you want to be regarded as an agent?

TF: Collaborative. None of us are an island on our own. We all rely on one another. Respect your colleagues. There is a certain way to do business. In terms of someone getting a listing over you or losing a listing to someone, at the end of the day, if it is done properly and if it is done with integrity you overcome that and you move on.

SS: What makes you, in your opinion humble opinion, so great at what you do?

TF: You need to know your roots and you need to know where you came from. It is a constant evolution and learning process. I take great pride in learning from my colleagues. I really do think it is an evolution that has led to my success. It is learning every day, honing, and improving. I love co-listings because it is a learning experience. Collaboration is the key to success.

Paul Pierce

In 2009, Pierce purchased the Calabasas home at $6.5 million after winning an NBA title and Finals MVP honors with the Boston Celtics. The Mediterranean style estate, once owned by the “King of Pop” Michael Jackson and football icon Willie McGinest, was first listed on the market by Pierce last year at an asking price of $11 million. After failing to attract potential buyers, the price was lowered to $10 million earlier this year. However, the buyer of managed to reduce the cost even further at a final sale price of $8.7 million. Josh and Matt Altman of Douglas Elliman held the listing and David Watkins of Pinnacle Estate Properties represented the buyer.

Beyond the gates of the celebrity neighborhood known as The Estates at the Oaks, Pierce’s 16,100-square-foot salon colored compound is set on almost an acre of land. Featuring an attached guesthouse and primary suite with a terrace overlooking the outdoor space, the home includes a total of eight bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. Through the dramatic entry of ivy and grand front doors, the space opens to a two-story foyer with a shimmering chandelier and spiral staircase. The interior layout includes formal dining room, casual dining area, living room, a professional chef’s kitchen, and grand glass walls offering a dazzling view of the city. The home’s entertainment options include a cinema room, bar, gym, billiard-room, bowling alley, and Boston themed basketball court.

As Paul Pierce bids farewell to his former Calabasas home, the newly sold property is ready for its next owner.

The pop singer-songwriter purchased the humble abode in 2019 at a price of $2.4 million. However, much has occurred in the recent years of Halsey’s life including news of a baby with producer Alev Aydin. Mirroring the new addition to her family, she has also expanded her real estate assets. Her most recent purchase earned her a $10.2 million property in Calabasas, CA. The home, previously owned by former One Direction star Liam Payne, spans 9,700 square feet and is equipped with five bedrooms, six bathrooms, pool, gardens, and a recording studio. With the new Calabasas residence in Halsey’s possession, her previous Sherman Oaks property is now for sale.

The 1959 Sherman Oaks home, a design envisioned by architect Richard Dorman, includes four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms spanning 2,425 square feet. The serene and secluded home is set on a half acre of land surrounded by lush green landscaping. Stepping inside the property, it opens to a spacious living room with a cozy fireplace leading to the yard and pool. Further into the home presents a sleek kitchen, dining area, family room, office, detached recording studio, and spacious patio. The master suite included a bathroom with dual vanities and sliding glass doors leading outside. Guest bedrooms also offer access to the outdoor space and each room features floor to ceiling windows with a gorgeous view of the surrounding greenery.

As the Sherman Oaks property is placed on the market, the house has been stripped of Halsey’s personal touch and is ready for a new owner.

Highlight quotes:

Jeff Biebuyck: "The reason we call our company Frontgate is that there are 26 gated communities just in our zip code. Like everywhere else, we have the best year we've ever had, and I was convinced in March [2020] that we had to be prepared to shut the doors because we got a pandemic and big overhead. Fast forward, here we are, and it may end up being the best year and it's just been phenomenal. We're blessed we've survived the fires that we had in Calabasas that wiped us out for a good quarter. We've gotten knocked around a little bit, but as I said, we got a really nice market right now. People are leaving LA to come to Calabasas and Hidden Hills because of its guard-gated communities. We have from the Kardashians, Will Smith, you name it. We care about our clients, treat them like everybody else. We all put our pants on the same way, so if you treat them like that, I think they respect that."

Ryan Ayre: "There are people from the Raleigh area who might have had a condo here [Emerald Isle] and they have moved their family down here to get out of the big city. You're seeing a lot more migration now. Some of those people are going to sell their homes, get the equity out of it, and then buy a bigger home here and sell the condo. You have definitely seen a change in migration. You're seeing a change in demographics here. There's a lot of cash rolling into here that's not an investment. It's people actually moving here, which differs from 2008 when most were investors. These are people that want to live here. People are coming from California, New York, Ohio, anywhere up Northeast. Even Florida and surrounding areas. I've always said that that this area is kind of a hidden gem and it's not anymore; people are finding it. It's getting to the point where we are getting more recognized around the country."

Paul Perry: "We are doing really well up here in Arizona. I think we're at the top of the food chain right now for appreciation and house sales even above Miami, which is rare for us. We've actually held it for the last two months now... We have people coming from the Carolinas and Florida... What we're dealing with is people saying we're going to another 2006 bubble but we're not because we have so much cash coming in. Many people are coming with no mortgages. But if they're going to get a mortgage, it used to be those high ones where they put five or 10% down. Now, you're getting 20% all the way to 50% down, so we have to get rid of that hurdle. Then, the next one is how long is this going to last. The way it's looking, it's all future-telling. How do you get where are we going to go, and it just keeps going up for another three to four years... We are in a great neighborhood and a great state."

Elliot Bogod: "New York is opening. More people are considering coming back after the exodus to warmer places such as Florida, Long Island, and New Jersey. Manhattan saw a lot of people leave and now they are coming back. Things are starting to be more active again. We had a very tough year last year as you know, all aspects of real estate commercial retail residential. The market is recovering. We see a lot of activity. Restaurants are at 50% capacity now, Yankee Stadium and movie theaters are opening. We expect Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and Broadway shows to open soon. New Yorkers are coming back and they're looking for rentals and to buy. We have a lot of inventory. It's the first buyer's market in 12 years, so it's great for investors and for people to bring money and invest in New York. Brokers are busy with contracts out, signed, and closing. Commercial real estate has never been more affordable. Residential as well because we saw some buildings with 20-30% discounts."

The poolside cabana with outdoor kitchen, full separate Island bar, firepit, and full bath promise endless alfresco adventures amid unencumbered views of the Santa Monica mountains. Wind down beneath a canopy of stars in the sunken fire pit lounge with built-in sound system and an 85” outdoor Séura weatherproof TV. A basketball half-court completes the splendid backyard oasis.

This one of a kind Cape Cod-inspired estate situated on Lake Sherwood is a must-see! The warm storybook cottage exterior features handpicked stone from back East, with a charming breezeway and gated private entrance. Nestled in Lake Sherwood, this exclusive estate awaits with panoramic views of the lake from every room. This is one of the most sought-after homes along the lake because of its prime location in a very private enclave, David Lane. The home sits on a gently sloping lot making lake access much easier than many properties on the lake. The main floor consists of a gorgeous entry that opens to the formal dining room, leading to the great room with an open-floor concept to the kitchen and dining area. Additionally, a private master suite with lake views, an office nook, double vanities, marble shower and tub, with a large walk in closet awaits. It features a designer kitchen with gold Calcutta marble countertops, a very large gold onyx island, and never before used WOLF appliances. With over half a million dollars in upgrades, this estate spared no expense for perfection. Second to none, this rare custom-built estate makes every day feel like a vacation waking up to stunning water views in a zen-like atmosphere. Surrounded by the spectacular views with lush landscape, scenic walkways and a private boat dock—this estate has it all!

With 11 Grammys to his name and his latest album "DAMN" being named this year's Pulitzer Prize for music–a first for a record that isn't classical or jazz–the MC who sometimes refers to himself as "Kung-Fu Kenny" has mastered the songwriter's craft.

An artist can't achieve legend status in the music industry without being business savvy. Lamar also appears to be a smart real estate investor with a long-term strategy. "I really like to buy property...rather than buying things for the moment. Something that can last me a lifetime," Lamar said in a radio interview for San Francisco's Wild 94.9.

He reportedly still lives in a modest L.A. condo–to stay humble while purchasing other apartments, buildings, and houses throughout California to build his real estate portfolio.

For his lastest money-move, Lamar has purchased a 5,400-square-foot home in Calabasas for $2.65 million.

Calabasas (and nearby Hidden Hills) has become a music maker's mecca over the last few years. Music producer Rick Rubin keeps a studio there. Dr. Dre just bought a custom estate in Calabasas for $4.9 million. A recent episode of FX's Atlanta was inspired by Drake's party-ready Hidden Hills mansion. And Kanye West just announced he was moving the headquarters of his Yeezy sneaker line to the Calabasas Hills.

However, Lamar won't be eating at local hangout Banzai Sushi on the regular, he has no plans to live in his six-bedroom, six-bath home. The investment property features an ample backyard with swimming pool, hot tub, built-in grill and covered patio.

The home's spacious interior exhibits a comfortable theater room, an in-home gym, huge walk-in closets, and a master suite with a cozy double-sided fireplace.

The home was originally listed for $2.89 million, but Lamar negotiated and obtained the mansion below asking price. It's an inspiring story for the Compton-born 30-year-old, who has rapped about being a homeless as a boy, living out of motels.

"I got hustle though, ambition, flow, inside my DNA," Lamar raps on his breakout hit single off the last album.

Looks like this talented rapper-turned-real-estate-mogul has been putting his money where his mouth is.
