Malibu, CA

Luxury real estate agent Kurt Rappaport has a history of brokering record-setting deals—will he soon sell the most expensive home in America? The specialist has been behind a number of high-profile Malibu home deals in recent years, including the sale of a $177 million mansion in 2021 to Silicon Valley tycoons Marc Andreessen and Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen, Beyonce and Jay-Z’s $200 million estate purchased in 2023, and a $210 million oceanfront home that sold this past June. Each successive sale set a new record for the priciest home sold in California, but his latest deal could claim a title that extends beyond the Golden State.

Former Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler has finally offloaded the last marital home he shared with his ex-wife, reality TV star Kristin Cavallari, and their three children, after the dwelling sat on the market for over a year. While Cutler did not receive his full $11 million asking price, per TMZ, the $7.9 million sale was all cash. Cutler and Cavallari first bought the Franklin, Tennessee, home along with 10 acres of land for $4.2 million back in 2018, later adding a 35-acre sprawl of surrounding property for $1.2 million, all of which Cutler sold in the recent seven-figure deal.

The Victoria Red Brick House, originally built in 1911, is a stunning example of architectural heritage with its elegant wood cornice and classic red brick facade. However, over the years, non-functional renovations had left the interior disconnected from its beautiful garden, freezing the space in an outdated 1980s aesthetic. When a young family purchased the house, they sought to restore and modernize the space, with a focus on reestablishing the crucial dialogue between the interior and exterior, as well as creating a more open and functional living space on the ground floor.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
