Highmark Residential LLC
Milestone Management, one of the largest residential property management firms, announced today the rebranding of the company to Highmark Residential in order to better reflect its commitment to delivering unmatched levels of service across all channels. The rebranding will take place in stages throughout the course of 2019, with a full transition expected across all systems in early 2020.
Taking a cue from its name, Highmark Residential will continue to build upon the company’s legacy of dedication to providing the highest level of service to residents, associates and investors focusing on hitting the “high mark” with every interaction. The rebranding to Highmark Residential will be accompanied by a redesigned website, logo, graphics, communications and correspondence.
