Who Alex Helps

The Selling Situations Alex Handles Most

Alexander Brandau IV, known as the Bowtie Realtor, has helped Nashville families sell since 2001: more than 1,100 families served and over half a billion dollars in closed sales. Most sellers who call him are in one of these situations:

Selling a luxury home in Green Hills, Belle Meade, Forest Hills, Oak Hill, Brentwood or 12 South, where pricing against the right comparable sales matters more than the citywide average.
Public figures, professional athletes and music industry clients who need the sale handled quietly. See discreet representation.
Selling and buying at the same time, so you are never stuck with two homes or none. See buying and selling at the same time.
Selling an estate or legacy property after a death or a family transition, often with heirs living out of state.
Selling a high-rise condominium in the Gulch, Midtown or downtown Nashville. See luxury high-rise condos.
Leaving Nashville for a new city and needing the sale timed to the move.

Recent results include eight sales of $2 million or more in the last five years, among them the $3.75 million sale of NFL cornerback Jalen Ramsey’s Nashville condominium, under contract in 11 days. RealTrends Verified: ranked #44 agent in Tennessee and #16 in Nashville by 2025 sales volume. See the luxury track record.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find out what my Nashville home is worth?

Automated estimates are a useful starting point but tend to miss finishes, lot quality, views and recent comparable sales, which are the factors that move luxury pricing most. A proper valuation reviews recent sales of genuinely comparable homes in your immediate area alongside the inventory you would be competing against today.

How long does it take to sell a home in Nashville?

Two separate clocks matter. First, days on market until you have an accepted offer. Then roughly 30 to 45 days to close if the buyer is financing. Luxury homes generally spend longer on market than the broader market simply because the pool of qualified buyers is smaller.

Should I renovate before selling?

Rarely a full renovation. Paint, decluttering, landscaping and addressing deferred maintenance almost always return more than they cost. Large projects such as kitchen remodels frequently do not return their full spend, and you risk selecting finishes a buyer would have chosen differently.

How is a luxury home marketed differently?

Professional photography, video and often drone work are the baseline rather than an upgrade. Beyond that it is about reaching a smaller and more specific audience through targeted digital placement, agent networks and private previews, rather than simply maximizing broad exposure.

What does it cost to sell a home in Tennessee?

Expect agent compensation, title and closing costs, and any repair credits negotiated after inspection. Tennessee has no state income tax, though federal capital gains tax may apply depending on your circumstances and how long you have owned the home. Speak with your tax advisor about your specific situation.
