Congratulations are in order for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Laffey International Realty agents Lisa Lavelle and Nancy Cuite, plus CEO Emmett Laffey, for completing the record-breaking sale of Billy Joel’s estate. The 26-acre “Middlesea” recently sold for $28.75 million—and with the sale of “The Gate House” for $7 million in May 2025, this puts the total compound sales figure at $35.75 million—the highest price recorded for a Long Island estate.
Previously featured on our Behind The Listing series—as well as gracing the cover of Prestige magazine—the sale of this remarkable property is a testament to the stellar work and commitment of the team at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Laffey International Realty. Excellent work to all involved. 🙌👏👏🍾
