WNBA legend and Hall of Famer Lisa Leslie has launched her own real estate firm — Aston Rose, which specializes in finding properties for celebrities and athletes nationwide. 

The four-time Olympic gold medalist and three-time WNBA MVP hopes to help athletes and celebrities identify quality investments, avoid pitfalls, and create generational wealth.

Aston Rose, which made its debut in the California and Florida markets in March, was co-founded by Tomi Rose, a former professional cheerleader who has 20 years of real estate experience. In addition to Rose and Leslie, the firm was also co-founded by former professional basketball players and current real estate professionals Rob Hite and Rod Watson. 

To date, the Aston Rose team has closed more than $500 million in real estate transactions combined.

Leslie is no stranger to business and leadership positions.

In 2011, the two-time WNBA champion became part owner of the Los Angeles Sparks only two years after retiring from the team. Leslie is also a coach of the BIG3’s Triplets, leading them to a championship in 2019.
