Former New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo is about to sell his Old Westbury home for close to its asking price, his listing agents confirmed.
Nimmo, who was traded to the Texas Rangers last year, listed his home for $5.695 million. It hit the market and went into contract over the course of 14 days, said Scott Van Son, of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Laffey International Realty. He co-listed the property with Stephen Gevinski.
"We didn't do any open houses, but it was very busy," Van Son said. "It probably had 12 to 13 separate groups come through within two or three days."
The house features five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, spanning 5,287 square feet. The taxes were listed as $46,176.
The ranch was renovated before Nimmo purchased it in 2023, and has remained in excellent condition, Van Son said.
"Buyers today at almost every price level, they don't want to do work," he added. "They love things that are absolutely turnkey. This buyer had been looking for a year, and this checked all the boxes for him."
Nimmo purchased the house for $5 million, The Real Deal reported at the time. It had been listed for $4.8 million.
The listing agents did not use Nimmo's name to publicize the listing, Van Son said. Their firm recently sold Billy Joel's Centre Island home in March, for $28.75 million. In that case, the notable owner likely helped in the marketing and selling process, the agent said.
As the price point goes up, so do the number of days on market, and Nimmo's house is "probably an exception to the rule," Van Son said.
"The pool of buyers obviously shrinks a little bit when you get to that price point," Gevinski said.
The fact that the home is a ranch also sparked the high level of interest, due to how desirable yet somewhat rare they are on the market, Van Son said. Additionally, the backyard's "country club setting" was a selling point, Gevinski said.
The agents noted that Nimmo, who is likely relocating due to his new team, was a pleasure to work with.
"New York is going to miss him," Gevinski said.
