Our Agents
SHIRLEY VASILEFF, Broker
Prior to opening Vasileff Realty in the fall of
1992, Shirley spent the previous 18 years working with Coleman A.
Young as a Mayoral Appointee, as well as selling real estate
part-time, mostly in the Downtown Detroit area. She was active in
politics over the past 30 years, including managing the law firm
of Jerome P. Cavanagh, a former mayor of Detroit.
Shirley attended Wayne State University, and
Stenotype Commercial College for court reporting. Shirley also
worked at several large Detroit law firms – Dickinson, Wright,
Dykema, Gossett & Hongiman, Miller, giving her an extensive
legal background.
After Shirley began selling real estate
part-time, she soon realized how much she enjoyed making a
difference in a person's life by helping them buy a home,
particularly in the Downtown Detroit area. As she got closer to
retiring from the City of Detroit, Shirley began making plans to
open her own firm to do just that, with her main focus on
specializing in marketing the Downtown Detroit area.
Shirley has lived in Lafayette Park in Downtown
Detroit for over 30 years, raising her daughter, Jill, there.
She feels Lafayette Park is a community that offers the "best of
both worlds" for children as well as adults – diversity and a
safe environment.

JILL VASILEFF, Sales Associate
Jill grew up in Mies van der Rohe's celebrated
'glass' townhouses in Downtown Detroit's LAFAYETTE PARK. After
spending 10 years in New York City studying painting & design,
she came back to Detroit and began selling real estate in 1992
when Vasileff Realty opened its doors.
Jill developed a sales approach which combined
her attention to factual details, love for architectural
integrity and enthusiasm for the diversity of Downtown Detroit’s
residential communities to intuitively & concretely match a
property with the needs & ideals of the buyer.
In 1998 & 1999 Jill worked for The Farbman Group
as Director of Sales for the condominium conversion of Indian
Village Manor. She was responsible for all details pertaining to
the sale of each unit as it converted from rental to condominium
ownership. She worked closely with Building Management,
financing institutions, Construction Management & the Executive
Offices to ensure the closing of over 7 million dollars in
sales. When the project was nearing its completion, Jill
returned to Vasileff Realty and continued to sell Detroit
properties until 2002.
She currently lives in Northern California with
her husband & two daughters and is a Marketing & Sales
consultant for Vasileff Realty and working artist. She has a BFA
from Parsons School of Design, NY, NY & an MFA from Bard
