Yes, TMZ has learned Greasy Bear -- the ne'er-do-well grandson of the late oil mogul Marvin Davis -- was instrumental in the sale of Candy Spelling's mansion.
Here's the way it went down. Brandon was at a Hollywood nightclub on April 27, partying with Petra Ecclestone -- the 22-year-old daughter of billionaire Formula One mogul Bernie Ecclestone -- when she told him she wanted to buy a HUGE house in L.A.
Brandon sprung into action, hooking Petra up with realtor/Paris Hilton's father, Rick Hilton. Sources tell TMZ, Rick made a deal with Brandon -- to give him a $250,000 finder's fee if Rick could sell a mansion to Petra.

Spelling Mansion -- The Price Is Right at $85 Mil
Sources connected with the sale of the 57,000 square foot, Holmby Hills estate tell TMZ ... 22-year-oldPetra Ecclestone is plunking down $85 million for her new digs. Candy was asking $150 mil, but in the L.A. real estate market that price was a dream.
One of our sources calls it "a fair price," adding Candy will be getting more than $1,000 a square foot -- not a bad deal.
We're told the escrow period is somewhere between 30 and 60 days. Since Petra's dad, Formula One mogul Bernie Ecclestone, is worth $4 billion ... finding the cash shouldn't be a problem.
