Jaylen has good taste!☘️

A two-time NBA All-Star and key player in the Celtics’ 2024 NBA Finals victory, Brown is making history on and off the court with his $304 million, five-year contract—the richest deal in NBA history at the time. His stunning 10,000-square-foot estate features 7 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, and a layout perfect for both relaxation and recreation. Highlights include a 33-foot-long chef’s kitchen with a massive center island, Wolf and SubZero appliances, and a breakfast area ideal for hosting.

If you don’t have to be out, stay off the roads, but I know some don’t have that luxury. If you do venture out, prepare for the worst.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan are in the process of acquiring an ultra-luxury estate on Indian Creek Island, a move that would rank among the most expensive residential purchases in U.S. history. The deal is said to fall between $150 million and $200 million, reflecting a broader shift among America’s wealthiest figures as they reassess residency, taxes, and long-term asset strategy. The property reportedly being acquired is a modern contemporary waterfront mansion spanning 19,506 square feet on a 1.84-acre lot, originally built in 2010. Designed by acclaimed Miami architect René Gonzalez, the home was conceived as living architecture, intentionally blurring the line between high-end modern design and contemporary art. Featuring 10 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, and nearly 30,000 square feet of combined indoor-outdoor living space, the estate includes roughly 205 feet of wide bay frontage along Biscayne Bay.

Robert Stiller, the billionaire force behind Green Mountain Coffee Roasters and the Keurig empire, has sold his Palm Beach mansion for $66.1 million after first listing it for a far more ambitious $90 million. Stiller purchased the Island Colonial style estate from Steve Wynn in 2023 for just under $66 million, nearly matching the price he ultimately walked away with in the sale. Located in Palm Beach’s quiet and prestigious North End, the residence spans more than 17,000 square feet with seven bedrooms and twelve bathrooms. Set directly on the Intracoastal Waterway, the home features a deep water dock with boat lift, dual primary suites, a cold plunge and spa terrace, two kitchens, an elevator, a pool and spa, multiple covered loggias, and 150 feet of waterfront frontage.

Former Boston Celtics co owner Jim Pallotta and his wife, Kim, have reduced the asking price of their expansive Weston estate to $31.5 million, down from its original $38 million listing. The couple custom built the 21,000 square foot residence in 2006 and has lived there ever since, raising their two sons on the property’s 18.7 acres. Now empty nesters, they say the home has simply become too large for just the two of them, prompting their decision to sell and embrace a tri-coastal lifestyle split between Nantucket, Miami, and Charleston.

Something to think about when considering discount brokerages

The math they're hiding?

Opendoor's "convenience" costs the average seller $82,000.

That's AFTER their 13% fees.

AFTER their phantom "$45k in repairs" that mysteriously appear during inspection.

AFTER they lowball you at 70% of actual value.

Your neighbor who sold through them last month?

They left enough money on the table to pay for their kid's college.

But hey, at least they didn't have to clean for showings.

Meanwhile, T\their business model loses money on nearly every home.

They're the WeWork of real estate, burning venture capital while convincing sellers that losing $82k is somehow "convenient."

Plot twist: The same people telling you agents are overpaid at 6% are perfectly fine with you losing 30-40% to an algorithm.

Your agent works 67 hours on your transaction.

OpenDoor's algorithm works 67 seconds.

Guess which one has YOUR best interests in mind?

The dark truth?

These companies prey on desperation. Death. Divorce. Job loss.

They're counting on your worst day becoming their best quarter.
