12 Years in the Making: Scottie and Larsa Pippen Finally Sell Florida Home

After 12 years and multiple price cuts, we can cue the confetti drop.

NBA legend Scottie Pippen and ex-wife Larsa Pippen have finally sold their Fort Lauderdale, FL, mansion for $10,545,000.

Earlier this year, the waterfront mansion came back on the market for $12 million, with Larsa handling the promotion. Her pitch included a video in which she promises to add a $1.5 million car collection to the sale. The new strategy apparently worked.

The estate was first listed for $16 million in 2009. Later they even offered it as a rental for $40,000 a month. Reasons it languished on the market for over a decade have included the home’s style, the canal locale, and buyers’ desire for brand-new builds.

In the past, the NBA Hall of Famer took the lead in efforts to sell the mansion. In 2000 the couple purchased an empty lot for $1.3 million and then built the mansion in 2004.

In a renewed push to garner buyer interest, Larsa hired Nest Seekers International. The Elliott Team’s Erin Sykes and Margo Fuller at Nest Seekers International represented the listing.

“We worked closely with Larsa to create a new strategy, including restaging and targeting key buyer demographics. Plus, we launched a creative marketing strategy,” says Shawn Elliott, president of Nest Seekers’ ultraluxury division. “We believe these new elements led to the sale.”
