“ Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles” star Josh Flagg is accustomed to showcasing some of the world’s most beautiful homes. But when buying his own latest investment property, the celebrity realtor opted for something a little more, um, rustic.
Flagg, 38, has bought and sold several properties over the years but perhaps none have been quite as remarkable as his current project: the renovation of a derelict mansion in Beverly Hills, CA. The Bravo star bought the place ( sight unseen!) for a staggering $9,250,000 in 2022.
In the latest season of his popular real estate-focused reality show, Flagg weighs his options when it comes to this pricey acquisition. He is stunned to discover just how run-down it is.
Initially, he decides the renovations are too much to take on and enlists his friend and fellow realtor Tracy Tutor to sell it for him.
Ultimately, though, he chooses to keep the property and complete a multimillion-dollar renovation on it. The early episodes of Season 15 of “Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles” are full of hilarious moments as he comes to grips with the state of the home.

Once such moment was documented in the latest episode of the show, when Flagg and Tutor meet at the property to assess its interiors in order to get it listed.
Upon arriving at the home, Tutor is appalled by its ramshackle appearance—but she’s even more horrified by an abandoned item she discovers inside: a discarded pair of women’s underwear.
Stunned by the risque find, the reality star picks up the satin skivvies with a nearby tool and flings them over a nearby hedge in Flagg’s backyard.
Soon after, Flagg pulls up to the home, and Tutor wastes no time revealing her find.
“How nice—they must have been here for the last 10 years,” Flagg quips.

Fans of the hit Bravo show might remember Flagg saying he’d admired the historic property for years. When he purchased the 1929 Italian-style villa, he revealed, “I have had my eye on this home since I was a little boy. It has not been on the market in close to 60 years.”
Alas, there’s a very good reason Flagg was initially tempted to sell his childhood dream home so quickly: There’s literally nothing inside it.
The property is just a gorgeous facade, with an interior that’s been stripped to the studs, giving new meaning to the phrase “buyer beware.” So, instead of a few months of renovations for Flagg, it’ll likely take him three or four years to rehab this old heap into something livable.
