Built on Experience,
Driven by Understanding
ProKribs was created from firsthand experience working with professional athletes for over a decade.
Our Story
ProKribs was founded by DeAngelo Shears, who brings over ten years of dedicated experience working directly with professional athletes. Throughout his career, DeAngelo witnessed the recurring challenges athletes face with each relocation—finding trustworthy housing, connecting with reliable service providers, and maintaining privacy in unfamiliar cities.
These firsthand insights revealed a significant gap in the market. Professional athletes needed more than just a real estate platform - they needed an exclusive athlete-to-athlete housing network where they could trust both the properties and the people behind them.
ProKribs was born from this understanding: an exclusive platform for professional athletes only, where athletes rent to fellow athletes. This athlete-to-athlete model ensures complete understanding, shared values, and the privacy you deserve.
Our Mission
To provide professional athletes with an exclusive athlete-to-athlete housing platform where they can rent from fellow athletes who understand their unique needs. We are committed to protecting privacy, ensuring quality, and building a supportive community where athletes can thrive during life's transitions, without public access.
We believe that relocation shouldn't add stress to an already demanding career. By creating a platform built on trust, experience, and genuine understanding of athlete needs, we're transforming how professional athletes experience relocation.
