“That’s not true ... It’s fun to see certain arms of the press kind of flop around,” said Carswell. “They’re so anxious to just get a name and when we sign a non-disclosure agreement, protecting the buyer’s privacy, we do not utter a word and give any clues. So, in the absence of giving a clue, they kind of pulled something out of the air that’s not true.”
He added that throughout the process of finding a buyer for Jolie’s home, background checks were done for security and to avoid “wannabes” who want to see celebrity homes but have no real intention of buying the property.
“Part of my job as a listing agent is to prevent that from happening, only bonafide buyers who are qualified and that’s what we did,” said Carswell.
When asked if the Maria actress was happy with the $24.75 million sale of the property, Carswell told Real Talk, “Doubly so. Quite. The ending was quite the climax after the journey we had been through on the market. It’s a difficult market presently in Los Angeles, which is always just temporary until things go back up the rollercoaster.”
“We had had enough of that challenge and then it ended quite well for our client, so she was doubly happy,” he concluded.
