Dwight Howard buys mansion, quickly makes cute real estate agent rich

Orlando Magic star Dwight Howard isn’t just Superman. He’s also a very charitable man.

Recently he purchased an $8.1 million house in Seminole County, Fla., setting a county record and making realtor Karen Arbutine a very happy woman.

“When we closed the property we had a small celebration. It was just very, very, exciting.”

Uhh, you think? Not only is Arbutine set for the year — if she got paid 3 percent on this deal she made $240,000 — but she’s also pretty good looking. Those two things combined will take you really far in life.

    Yes, she is cute…..but actually she was very successful (“rich”) prior to the sale of this $8.1 million dollar home due to her smart business sense and success as a realtor.

    Ms. Arbutine sold us our home a year ago. She is an excellent realtor with very sharpe business tactics. Once we hired her to represent us on our home purchase we knew she had our best interests at heart.

    Congratulations to Karen for scoring this deal. It’s nice to see and very hard working agent get a good deal. Karen Arbutine, represented myself in the purchase of my Longwood home and I couldn’t have been more pleased with her professional manner. She handle every aspect of the deal and made the home buying process as smooth as can be. I’d recommend her to anyone. I’m sure Karen got the very best deal for Dwight in this gorgeous home. Congrats Dwight on your new purchase.

    It is nice to see Karen prosper in a real estate market where the rest of the agents are leaving the business. This shows the ability to show how aggressive she is and focused on here career. Good job, Karen and by the way……. what an awesome home Dwight! I am sure your parents are proud of you!

    Way to go Karen! I knew you would continue to knock them dead in any market. You sold my home when everyone else said it would not sell for the price I was asking…. but you came along and proved them all to be wrong. Great sale, one of the things I admired about you was the fact that you treated me and my home sale which was not near the value of this one, like it was a multi-million dollar transaction! I appreciate your sincerety.

    You are not Dwight Howard’s cousin. You are an imposter. He hates you because of who you want to be.
