LA VIP AGENT: A New Real-Estate Agency Focused on Athletes Is Ready to Play

Lisa Leslie is a four-time Olympic gold medal winner, a two-time WNBA champion and the first woman to ever dunk in a WNBA game. The former Los Angeles Sparks player even has her own Nike sneaker, 1998’s Nike Total Air 9.

She is also a real-estate agent, and now the co-founder of a sports and entertainment real-estate firm named Aston Rose. The firm is composed of a team of sports pros-turned-agents in Florida and California, and launched on March 17. The goal of the firm, Ms. Leslie says, is “connecting the dots for these athletes and entertainers, helping them understand what are some good investments and what are not, some pitfalls on things they should avoid, and figuring out how we can create general wealth.”Lisa Leslie is a four-time Olympic gold medal winner, a two-time WNBA champion and the first woman to ever dunk in a WNBA game.
