Milestone Realty in Highwood, directly across from the historic Fort Sheridan redevelopment, is a full-service residential real estate firm. 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.
The firm was founded in 2004 by Shelley Lurie, who was 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 over 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 Fort Sheridan, Highland Park, Highwood, Glencoe, Wilmette, Buffalo Grove, Deerfield, Lake Forest, Northbrook and Glenview.
“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, Chicago Metropolitan areas, and all of the Northwest suburbs 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.”
Lurie has extensive knowledge of the redevelopment of the Town 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 is enhanced by having Barbara Rosenberg on 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.
