Andrea Miller with The MacPherson Group

Always Seeing the Silver Lining

Andrea Miller is a firm believer in finding the silver lining in every situation. For her, setbacks are simply opportunities in disguise—a mindset that has shaped both her personal journey and her thriving career as a REALTOR®. With a focus on authenticity, care, and empowering others, Andrea has built a reputation for helping her clients see the potential in every home and decision.

Real estate runs in Andrea’s blood. She grew up in Glenview, observing and assisting her mother, a successful broker in North Shore. Those early experiences offered her a glimpse into the intricacies of the industry and planted the seeds of her future career. “I saw how helpful someone can be to a client making one of the biggest purchases in their life,” Andrea reflects.

While earning her master’s degree from DePaul University, Andrea worked in the front office of a prominent brokerage, gaining valuable behind-the-scenes knowledge of real estate transactions. These roles gave her a strong foundation in market dynamics and client service.

After graduating, Andrea pursued a career as a school counselor at CPS’s Sawyer Elementary School (kindergarten–grade 8). This role honed her ability to guide and support people through pivotal life changes and events. Five years later, she returned to Glenview, drawn by its strong sense of community and the support of family and friends. She knew it was the ideal place to raise her family and build meaningful connections.

When her youngest child started kindergarten, Andrea decided it was time for a new chapter—one that blended her passion for helping others with her love for real estate. Recognizing the opportunity to combine her people skills with her knack for analyzing data and market trends, she made the leap into a career that felt both exciting and fulfilling.

Andrea joined the MacPherson Group at @properties, one of the most successful teams in North Shore, and hasn’t looked back. Combining her knowledge of the intricate neighborhoods within North Shore’s suburbs and Chicago with her natural ability to listen and connect, Andrea quickly became an integral part of the group’s growth.

Andrea’s passion for real estate shines through in every aspect of her work. “I’m passionate about my clients and giving everyone the concierge service they deserve,” she says. For Andrea, her work is not just about closing deals; it’s about forming genuine connections and understanding how she can best assist each individual.

She loves meeting new people, learning their unique needs, and helping them see the potential in their homes, even if that means suggesting projects to maximize value. With a network of trusted contractors at her fingertips, Andrea often helps clients envision possibilities they might not have considered.

“I’ve always appreciated the ebb and flow of a transaction,” she shares. “Real estate is about making sure I take care of my clients every step of the way.” Whether she’s guiding first-time buyers or seasoned sellers, Andrea is dedicated to ensuring her clients feel supported and confident throughout the process.

Outside of the business, Andrea leads an active lifestyle with her three boys, Hudson, Dylan, and Travis, and their spirited dog, Charlie. Summers are spent at the lake, while winters bring skiing adventures. Long walks with Charlie and outdoor runs provide moments of relaxation, and she enjoys tennis, traveling, and helping friends with home rehab projects.

Whether she’s spending time with friends, engrossed in a good book, or contributing to her community, Andrea approaches every aspect of her life with the same energy and enthusiasm that defines her real estate career.

When asked what advice she would give to aspiring top producers or fellow REALTORS®, Andrea emphasizes the importance of staying true to oneself. “Be authentic to who you are. You can bring your best characteristics into your work; it will be a huge benefit,” she advises.

Andrea's success is a testament to the power of authenticity, positivity, and a genuine passion for helping others. As she continues to embrace new challenges and find the silver lining in every situation, Andrea is certain to leave a lasting impact on her clients, her community, and the North Shore market.
