Meet the founders
The story of AIRE (Athletes In Real Estate) begins at Indiana University, where Anthony Leal, a standout on the Indiana men’s basketball team, and Hayden Lurie, a fellow Indiana men’s basketball manager and real estate entrepreneur, first connected.
Through their shared experiences in Indiana basketball and conversations about financial literacy and investing, they realized a major gap—athletes were earning money, but few had access to proven, strategic ways to grow their wealth. They saw an opportunity to bridge that gap by helping athletes invest wisely in real estate without taking on debt.
