SPONSORED CONTENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT SPONSORED CONTENT The Bierker Group: Going Beyond Your Expectations in the Pittsburgh Real Estate Market! W hen it comes to buying or selling a home in this competitive market, having a team of experienced professionals working on your behalf is key. At The Bierker Group, Realtor Dawn Bierker has assembled that team, and as a show of appreciation The Bierker Group has developed the Loyalty Program. If you List your home with the Group and then purchase your next home you are eligible to receive a 25% buyer agency commission rebate. “We strive to make the home buying or selling process as stress-free and seamless as possible for our clients,” Bierker said. “Delivering on that objective requires a full understanding of the market. Inventory is tight in many of the most desirable neighborhoods. For sellers, that means attracting as many qualified buyers as possible to create a competitive buying atmosphere. For buyers it means identifying the home location and features that are most important and moving quickly when those objectives are met.” She added, “Unfortunately, there are not a lot of requirements to get a Pennsylvania real estate agent license, so there are a lot of inexperienced or part-time agents lacking proper guidance. I became an agent in 2002, and earned my broker license in 2009. Less than 1 in 10 real estate agents in Pennsylvania are licensed brokers. I’ve also attained other designations and training, including Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), and Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR). This training and years of experience helps guide clients to a successful closing. “Buyers and sellers have different needs and benefit from representation by an experienced professional advocating on their behalf. A home sale or purchase has complexity that can be a significant source of stress if you don’t hire the right professional to represent your interests.” Bierker delivered on these beliefs by opening her own brokerage, RE/MAX 360 Realty, which is staffed by five additional team members who share her philosophy. She chose to open a RE/MAX brokerage because RE/MAX is the top real estate brokerage in the U.S., with the most productive agents. “After more than 16 years honing my skills in Pittsburgh’s nuanced real estate market, I wanted to give other agents an opportunity to work in a supportive atmosphere where the needs of the client come first,” she explained. “Negotiating through transaction hurdles is an essential part of getting to the closing table. RE/MAX 360 Realty and The Bierker Group are focused on helping clients clear these hurdles. Cultivating a great client experience is the business objective.” The Bierker Group is based in the North Hills, serving clients in the region bounded by Cranberry in the north, Fox Chapel to the east and Sewickley to the west. The Bierker Group is also very active in the Downtown and East End Pittsburgh market, serving clients who seek a more vibrant urban environment or proximity to the city’s burgeoning technology hubs. The Bierker Group team members Beth Nichols, Jeff Gould, Deb Reddick and her son Dave Reddick offer a cohesive team that is passionate about the value they deliver for their clients every single day.
