Success Real Estate

Success! Real Estate is closed. The company shut down on 14 December 2024, telling staff by email, and its Massachusetts broker licence — 7022-RE-C, held in the company's own name — is suspended in the state registry. What followed is court record. Its owner and longtime principal, Stephen Webster, pleaded guilty in Brockton Superior Court on 1 April 2026 to fiduciary embezzlement, larceny of more than $1,200, witness intimidation and publishing a false financial statement. Prosecutors described a consistent pattern of misuse of escrow funds — the deposits clients put down on houses — and the Boston Globe reported court records showing more than $11.6 million siphoned from clients and colleagues, spent on gambling, an $8,250-a-month Florida apartment and a boat. The damage landed on ordinary people first. When the firm closed, agents and clients found the cheques they had been sent bounced. NBC Boston reported more than a million dollars in client escrow funds unaccounted for, and Webster faced multiple lawsuits totalling over $1 million. There is nothing here to hire. The practical next step, for anyone still owed money from a Success! transaction, is a lawyer — and the Plymouth County District Attorney's office, whose investigation produced the charges.
