As negotiations with now free agent, Lebron James are ongoing… Halstead Property is going out of the way to show how amazing New York City is for him and his family. In a campaign named EVERY KING NEEDS A CASTLE our firm is deeply excited to extend an offer to Lebron to make his transition to the Big Apple as smooth as possible. If Lebron decides to become a part of New York, Halstead Property will offer him and his family our award-winning brokerage services and expert local guidance to find his New York dream home. But our pitch does not end here. We also want to give back. We are so taken by Lebron’s philanthropic efforts and community outreach that we will donate our full company portion of the commission from the purchase of his home, which could amount to over six figures, to the charity of his choice. As a result, we can make a difference both on and off the court.
See our president Diane Ramirez in action:
