Haidar began his real estate career at 19, gaining experience across residential, REO, and property management. Since founding Milestone in 2011, he steadily built the company while working with leading commercial firms, laying the foundation for this strategic growth.
“My experience in both residential and commercial real estate showed me there’s a gap between the two that I aim to bridge,” said Haidar. “There are synergies that, when integrated, can enhance service. I want to bring the customer focus and collaboration of residential real estate into the commercial space.”
Despite the rapid growth, Haidar emphasizes Milestone’s commitment to a local, personalized approach:
“Milestone is expanding quickly, but staying grounded is non-negotiable,” he added. “We believe in substance over systems and never hiding behind bureaucracy or big city barriers. Our strength is being connected to the communities we serve.”
