Mauricio Umansky, the co-founder of real-estate brokerage The Agency — who also stars on Netflix’s Buying Beverly Hills and is a contestant on the new season of Dancing with the Stars premiering on Tuesday — is set to follow up his dancing debut by hosting The Hollywood Reporter‘s annual L.A. Power Broker Awards. The evening will take place Wednesday, Sept. 27, at the famed Castillo Del Lago estate in Lake Hollywood, a grand 1920s Spanish-style mansion once owned by Madonna.
Presented by premier luxury real estate PR company The Society Group, the awards evening celebrates the powerhouse sellers on THR‘s annual list of Hollywood’s Top Real Estate Agents and includes an awards presentation in eight categories. Nominees for six categories — including Stratospheric Sale of the Year, Agent of Historic Architecture and Rising Star — are presented below, with Umansky announcing the winners at the dinner.

Everyone loves a gimmick, even the über rich. The controversial Measure Ula — which was opposed (futilely) by top real estate agents — is set to go into effect April 1. Known as “the mansion tax,” the L.A. City measure will require sellers of properties of more than $5 million to pay a 4 percent transfer tax, while sales of more than $10 million will pay a 5.5 percent tax. All funds raised will be used to fund sorely needed public housing.
Now, just under the gun, blue chip sellers are using the looming deadline to try to goose sales. The undeveloped 260-acre Senderos Canyon in Bel Air is being auctioned off by Paramount Realty USA. In an attempt to woo buyers quickly, owner Giro Properties has announced a $2 million discount if the deal is closed before April 1.
Botched star Paul Nassif has listed his Bel Air mansion at 1035 Stradella Road for $27.995 million with a similar twist.

With the proliferation of antiseptic mall-sized ultra-modern mansions and cookie cutter “modern farmhouses,” with their acres of white walls, miles of pale French oak floors and vast walls of disappearing glass, the extravagant, playfully flamboyant more-is-better Bel Air compound of corporate housing magnate Howard Ruby and late actress-turned-artist Yvette Mimieux is a much-welcomed architectural and decorative antidote. Famous for his head-in-the-clouds more-is-more aesthetic, late and influential set designer and decorator Tony Duquette would certainly approve.
An L.A. native who passed in January, at 80, Mimieux was discovered in the late 1950s while horseback riding in the Hollywood Hills. She went on to appear in dozens of television shows and films, including Where the Boys Are (1960) and Light in the Piazza (1962). In 1964 she earned a Golden Globe nomination when she became what’s believed to be the first woman to bare her belly button on American TV when she guest-starred on Dr. Kildare.

One of Hollywood’s most bankable filmmakers, Todd Phillips has hoisted his lavish A-lister estate in the coveted Flats neighborhood of Beverly Hills, Calif., on the market with a blockbuster price of $34.5 million. It doesn’t take a mathematics genius to tabulate that the asking price is exactly twice the $17.25 million that was paid to Paradigm Talent Agency chairman Sam Gores for the property in May of 2012, right in between the money-minting releases of the Phillips-written and -helmed second and third installments of The Hangover franchise that’s hauled in more than $1.4 billion in worldwide box office receipts.
Since he made The Hangover films, Phillips has written and directed the modestly successful film War Dogs, produced the smash hit A Star Is Born, which has hoovered up almost $450 million in worldwide gross against a production budget of $36 million, and, even more impressively, directed and produced the mega-hit The Joker,...
