How Alexander Brandau IV, the Bowtie Realtor, sold an NFL cornerback’s Poston at the Park condominium for $3.75 million, under contract in 11 days, with the press coverage coming only after the sale was done.
Jalen Ramsey bought the condominium in 2019 while playing in the NFL. By 2025 his career had taken him to Pittsburgh, and the Nashville home needed to be sold. The complication was the obvious one for any public figure: a listing with his name attached would draw attention from fans, media and curious neighbors before the home ever reached a serious buyer, and every showing would carry a privacy risk.
Ramsey, who is from Tennessee, enlisted Alex Brandau, a Nashville agent who works regularly with athletes, public figures and music industry clients, to sell the home at a strong price without turning the sale into a news story while it was still on the market.
Alex’s process for public figures, athletes and music industry clients is the same one described on his Discreet Representation page, and the Ramsey sale followed it.
Before a home is photographed or priced, Alex and the client settle which details stay out of the marketing and the conversation, and that agreement drives every decision that follows.
Poston at the Park is one of a small number of Nashville buildings where the best units trade well above the general condo market. The sale closed at $3.75 million, about $1.6 million above the 2019 purchase price, and ranked among Nashville’s top ten condominium sales of 2025 and among the highest price per square foot for a Nashville condo that year.
Showings for a high-profile home are limited to qualified buyers and scheduled around the client, so the home is never on open display. The Ramsey condominium went under contract in 11 days.
Decisions on offers and terms are made quickly when the seller’s own team is kept informed, which matters for a client in season in another city. The sale closed on October 1, 2025.
Coverage ran after closing, not while the home was for sale: a Realtor.com exclusive on October 15, 2025, followed by MarketWatch, The Tennessean and the Nashville Business Journal. As Alex told Realtor.com, the client “trusted us to handle the process with discretion and privacy.”
This is the same process Alex uses for any public figure, professional athlete or music industry client selling a Nashville home: agree on what stays private, price to the top of the specific building or neighborhood, reach qualified buyers through a private network first, control the showings and handle the press only when the client is ready. It applies equally to a Belle Meade estate, a Green Hills family home or a high-rise condo in the Gulch or Midtown.
If you are buying rather than selling, the same discretion applies in reverse: Alex can see homes before they are publicly listed and keep a buyer’s identity out of the negotiation until closing.
At the top of the market, a correctly priced unit in a sought-after building can go under contract in days when the right buyers see it first. This sale took 11 days from listing to contract. Overpriced units in the same buildings can sit for months.
Yes. The listing agreement can be handled through an entity or representative, marketing materials can omit identifying details, and showings can be restricted to vetted buyers. Public records will eventually show the transfer, but the sale itself does not have to be marketed under the owner’s name.
No. Alex represents buyers and sellers of luxury homes across Nashville, including families relocating to the city, owners selling estate properties and clients buying and selling at the same time. Public figures are one of the groups he works with most often, and the same discretion is available to any client who wants it.
