              Milestone Realty in Highwood, directly across from the historic Fort Sheridan redevelopment, is the newest full-service residential real estate firm in the area.  Located at 742 Sheridan Road, Milestone Realty offers buyers and sellers well over a half-century of real estate experience, focused specifically on the North Shore market. 

               Most recently the vice president of marketing with Red Seal Homes of  Northbrook, one of the North Shore’s most respected builders, Lurie has lived on the North Shore for 30 years.  She received her real estate license in 1978, at which time she started at Quinlan & Tyson Realty in Highland Park.  During her years at Quinlan & Tyson, the company was first acquired by Merrill Lynch and then by Prudential Realty.

              Lurie’s range of real estate experience covers communities such as Wilmette, Glencoe, Highland Park, Highwood, Buffalo Grove, Deerfield, Lake Forest, Northbrook and Glenview.  During her 10 years at Red Seal Homes, she was recognized annually by the Chicagoland Homebuilder’s Association for excellence in sales and marketing.

              “Of course, we are members of the North Shore Real Estate Board (NSBAR), so we list and access listings of all of the North Shore on both the MAP Multiple Listing Service and the Multiple Listing Service of Northern Illinois.  We are members of the Illinois Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors.  We handle the same transactions as the bigger, national companies, but we  maintain a local, more personal level of service to our customers and clients,” she added.

              Lurie has extensive knowledge of the redevelopment of Fort Sheridan, as Red Seal Homes was one of the main developers in charge of turning the former government property into a showpiece of residential living.

            “As Red Seal's Marketing VP, I oversaw almost all of the original sales and I was one of the new community’s first residents.  I’m very much involved with the history of the fort, and actually have an eight-foot photomural in my home of activity on the historic Parade Grounds in 1915."

            Establishing the Milestone Realty office in Highwood allows Milestone staff to effectively cover the North Shore.  Milestone  Realtors have vast experience throughout the North Shore and Chicago.

            Milestone Realty's staff is enhanced by the expertise of Marilyn Luczak as Broker-Associate.  With over 25 years of real estate experience on the North Shore, she brings with her a high degree of professionalism and commitment to the Milestone office.  Luczak was a member of the sales team at Fort Sheridan and was a Fort resident as well. Her home was featured in North Shore magazine as an example of the high quality restoration of the Officer’s mansions. Marilyn and Vic Carnelli reside in Lake Forest.

            Milestone also welcomed Barbara Rosenberg to the team.  Barbara, who lives in Deerfield with husband, David and their son Jacob, was involved in the marketing and sales of senior housing for many years before mainstreaming into all aspects of real estate service.  She is committed to a very high level of professionalism and is energetic, empathetic and enthusiastic.

          Sebastian Dragan-Dima uses today's technology and stays informed of the new trends that make Real Estate buying and selling easier for his clients. Sebastian is fluent in English and Romanian and can also converse in French, Italian and Spanish.

         Milestone recently brought Carrie Matthies on board as a sales associate. Many Fort Sheridan homeowners will remember Carrie as one if the original Fort Sheridan sales team.  She and her darling daughter Genevieve now live in Deerfield.  Carrie has nearly fifteen years of home sales experience with an expertise in new construction sales. 

         Mary Ellen Conboy is a career Realtor who came to work at Milestone to help serve the Fort Sheridan community (of which she is a resident) and her clients throughout the North Shore. She is committed to excellence and continued growth in her profession. "I work in a spirit of partnership with my clients and co-workers."

          Scott Horwitz of Evanston, Debby Klein of Lake Bluff and Bill Betlach of Libertyville round out the sales team       

          Nancy Rosenfield runs the office effectively and efficiently and always with a sense of humor.

          Elina Sirotskaya assists the staff .  She is a student at Lake Forest College and hopes to become a Realtor.

         “What really helps to make Milestone Realty a success is the combination of experience we offer buyers and sellers on the North Shore,” said Lurie.
