Realtor Behaving Badly - Texas real estate agent arrested after she had 'passionate rendezvous' in home she'd just sold

A Texas real estate agent was arrested Saturday in Friendswood after police found her and a man using a home she had just sold for a "passionate rendezvous," police say.

Kayla Seloff, 22, and Joshua Leal, 27, were arrested after a neighbor leaving for work noticed a couple with a flashlight entering the vacant home about 5 a.m., KTRK-TV (ABC 13) reports.

When police arrived, they saw a man and woman lying on the floor in a "passionate rendezvous," according to KXAN-TV. Police entered the home in the 200 block of East Castle Harbour Drive through an unlocked front door, and the couple initially hid. Seloff eventually told police she and Leal were married and had bought the home the day before.

But when police walked the couple to their car to get their identification, their car smelled of marijuana and police saw a glass pipe on the dashboard. Inside the car, police found a small bag of marijuana.

Seloff admitted that the drugs were hers and that she was the home's real estate agent, not the owner, authorities said.

Seloff and Leal are charged with criminal trespassing and are being held in jail with bail set at $1,000, according to KTRK.

Milpitas amoung the fastest growing cities in America



You don't often hear about a California or Bay Area, or more specifically a Silicon Valley city being listed among the fastest growing in anything. Even though the job market in this valley is robust, the housing market is still hot (excepts the higher end homes), most of the growth going on in the country is outside of California in places like Texas. So I was surprised to see that at least one Silicon Valley city, Milpitas, CA., is listed as #8 on the U.S. Census Bureau's list.

More people are moving to Texas. In fact, the Lone Star State boasts five of the 11 fastest-growing cities over the past year, according to the Census Bureau’s annual analysis of population trends in America’s cities.


Georgetown, Texas, part of Austin’s metro area, is the nation’s fastest-growing city. Its population has surged 7.8 percent in the past year alone. Austin also is seeing booming growth in Pflugerville, which is the nation’s 11th fastest-growing city.

According to the U.S. Census, the following are the fastest-growing cities and towns between July 2014 and July 2015:


  1. Georgetown, Texas: 7.8% growth
  2. New Braunfels, Texas: 6.6%
  3. Ankeny, Iowa: 6.5%
  4. Frisco, Texas: 6.3%
  5. South Jordan, Utah: 6%
  6. Dublin, Calif.: 5.5%
  7. Pearland, Texas: 5.3%
  8. Milpitas, Calif.: 5.3%
  9. Broomfield, Colo.: 5.2%
  10. Mount Pleasant, S.C.: 4.7%
  11. Pflugerville, Texas: 4.5%
  12. Fort Myers, Fla.: 4.4%
  13. Murfreesboro, Tenn.: 4.4%
  14. Goodyear, Ariz.: 4.3%
  15. Buckeye, Ariz.: 4.3%


The latest Census statistics show the following are the nation’s largest cities:


  1. New York: 8,550,405
  2. Los Angeles.: 3,971,883
  3. Chicago: 2,720,546
  4. Houston: 2,296,224
  5. Philadelphia: 1,567,442
