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.
