ealtor Stephen Webster, 63, the former owner of Success Real Estate in Marshfield, Massachusetts, was taken into custody on a $100,000 cash bail after his arraignment in Brockton Superior Court on Friday. Webster faces multiple indictments, including embezzlement, witness intimidation, and the issuance of a false financial statement. The court imposed strict release conditions: he must surrender all travel documents, remain within Massachusetts throughout the proceedings, and attend regular meetings with probation officers. He is scheduled to appear again in Brockton on November 13 for a pre‑trial conference. Webster was apprehended in Florida the previous month.

    Earlier this year, a collective of real‑estate agents filed a lawsuit against Success Real Estate, alleging that Webster abruptly shut down the company in December 2024 without notice. The plaintiffs claim their commission checks were dishonored. The suit further contends that seven agents are owed a total of $105,033.70 for commissions dated between December 2 and December 9, 2024, funds that were supposed to be held in escrow. NewsCenter 5 will report any court developments as they become available.
