SPONSORED CONTENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT SPONSORED CONTENT THE REED AND SHUTEY TEAM A Different Kind of Real Estate Team F or the past four years, the West Hills real estate team of Michael Reed and John Shutey, III has been helping clients buy and sell homes with ease through Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices The Preferred Realty. Their background, experience and training not only has given them a proven track record, but also propelled them to the top 100 Realtors nationally within the company and to number 5 on Pittsburgh Business Times’ “Who’s Who in Residential Real Estate.” Locally, in the Montour, Moon and West Allegheny region, they’re ranked number 1. “First of all, we want to send out a ‘Thank you’ to the community, to this area, for placing their trust in us and for catapulting us forward in the industry,” Reed said. “We strive to give a little something extra to all of our clients and they’ve rewarded us with their loyalty and referrals.” He attributes part of their success to their somewhat opposite personalities. “John and I have very different approaches in how we derive numbers and valuations,” Reed explained. “We’re an Oscar-Felix odd couple. His strengths are my weaknesses and vice versa. So, in the end, there are no gaps in our services with clients. Also, we both have a singular focus of serving our clients to the utmost of our ability.” He added that while the team resides and works primarily in the West Hills, they have helped clients buy and sell properties all over Western Pennsylvania. “If you look at a map of our sales, it looks like a Jackson Pollock painting,” Reed said. “We’re less concerned with where someone lives and more concerned about finding them the best fit and value for them. If they live in Pennsylvania and cheer for the Steelers, we’ll come to them regardless of location.” On top of their experience in the field, Reed and Shutey also believe in furthering their education in real estate, as do all of the members of their growing team. Team members are E-certified, 24 724.942.0940 TO ADVERTISE ❘ icmags.com members of the Board of Realtors and extremely adept at social media marketing.
