The Jills on CBS 4 News | Star Homes for Star Athletes | Aired on July 27, 2010

Now that superstars Chris Bosh and LeBron James have signed with the Miami Heat, they're going to need some new digs.

But what would a six foot plus tall NBA player be interested in for a new pad. CBS4's Lisa Petrillo got the 'hook up' from some very special pros in the know.

The first stop on their Miami Heat mansion tour was in Golden Beach where Petrillo checked out a 14-thousand foot, five bedroom oceanfront home with 24 foot high ceilings.

"That means when one of them walks through the door they won't hit their heads," said realtor Jill Eber.

Eber along with her partner Jill Hertzberg are known as "The Jills". Since 2005 they've been the number one ranked real estate sales team in the state with sale of more than one billion dollars. So who was one of their biggest clients?

"I think the biggest was Shaq O'Neal" said Eber. The Jills sold him a house a Star Island.

So what do basketball stars look for in a house?

"They want things done," said Hertzberg. "True turnkey in perfect condition so they can focus their energy on other things, like winning!"

The house in Golden Beach, with 100 feet of the ocean front, has elegantly furnished rooms, including a ultra comfortable media room to watch re-plays of the game, an elevator and a dramatic staircase for $18.5 million.

Moving to the gated community of Sunset Island, the Jills say James or Bosh may enjoy a Mediterranean style bay front mansion where luxury meets quality.

A dramatic staircase sets the scene for the 13-thousand square foot, seven bedroom home complete with a media room, billiard room and an aquarium.

"You have 200 feet of waterfront so you can have any size boat or yacht you want," said Eber.

The home is available for rent at $65 thousand a month, asking price for sale is $12.5 million.

On Palm Island, the Jills suggest a two story, 14 thousand foot palatial Mediterranean style home with a jaw dropping oversized patio and pool which boasts a Versace style mosaic tile. It has 200 feet of waterfront space

It's five minutes from South Beach, and even better, five minutes to the American Airlines Arena.

The separate pool house features a custom onyx bar, a steam shower, sauna, his and hers cabanas and a full gym.

Price tag -- about $16 million.

Finally the what could be the most expensive home which is fit for a 'King' is located on exclusive Indian Creek Island. While it's still under construction, owners Shlomi Alexander and Felix Cohen say the ten bedroom mansion comes with lagoons inside and out. It also comes with a "Dream Team" price of $60 million dollars.
