Key Points
- Aaron Schwid and Youngkey Chung entrusted the sale of their luxury home to Matt Isbell, an agent from Compass, largely due to his reputation and appearance on “Million Dollar Listing.”
- While the couple was away, the multi-million dollar property was mysteriously flooded, apparently due to the activation of the home’s sprinkler system.
- The homeowners suspect Isbell of setting off the sprinklers, potentially causing significant damage to their stately domicile.
- CCTV footage points towards Isbell being the only individual present in the house during the time window, putting him right at center stage of the waterlogged saga!
- Despite the damage, the couple still managed to sell their house. However, legal proceedings are underway, and the sale proceeds are held in escrow pending resolution.
Hot Take
Alright folks, gather ’round, today’s version of real estate whodunit is worthy of an Agatha Christie tale. Only, replace Hercule Poirot with a dapper Matt Isbell, the Compass agent from “Million Dollar Listing” fame.
Just like a sizzling reality TV plotline, we have Aaron Schwid and Youngkey Chung’s mansion turned into an upscale, indoor swimming pool overnight. Who needs a property viewing when you can host a water polo tournament in your living room, right? The irony being, instead of securing a million-dollar deal, our star agent is now playing the role of prime suspect in the impromptu water park caper.
Our golden boy was possibly the only one in the scene of the…well, flood, but we’re yet to see whether he’s the perpetrator or a victim of decidedly soggy circumstances. Will he overcome these dampening allegations, or is it sink or swim for our floodlight agent? We’ll have to wait and watch.
In the interim, let’s remember that ‘water features’ in property listings usually involve a nice outdoor pool or at least a tranquil koi pond. Not a fantastic indoor rainfall system! A definite shocker for the rich and infamous, and a reminder for us, the popcorn-munching spectators, that even real estate isn’t immune to a good old-fashioned sprinkler scandal!
