Bonnie Loya, Associate Real
Estate Broker, has joined Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices The
Preferred Realty working from the company's Peters Township location in McMurray.
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 7,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Effective immediately,
Bonnie Loya, Associate Real Estate Broker, has joined
Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices The Preferred Realty working from
the company's Peters Township
location in McMurray. Bonnie has
been an indomitable force of the South
Hills real estate market for over 26 years.
As her motto says "We are holding the keys
to your new home".
While she is most recognizable for her real estate footprint,
Bonnie's life and career has been anything but typical. She
completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto, Canada earning a BSc in
Zoological Sciences. She completed her graduate courses in
Biochemistry and Genetics at the University of
California, Irvine. While completing her graduate courses,
Bonnie also worked at Wells Fargo Bank. She pursued a career in
banking and eventually became a Personal Banking Manager at Wells
Fargo.
Bonnie also maintained her passion for Veterinary medicine and
love of animals. She covers a shift as a Veterinary technician in
surgery at the Blue Pearl Pet Hospital Pittsburgh. Bonnie is also
on the Board of Directors of Animal Friends.
Having pursued educational and professional opportunities on
both coasts and in two different countries, she and her husband
Chuck (a California native)
finally came home to Pittsburgh in
the late 90's to pursue new career opportunities and begin a
family. They have 3 children – Sean (a Chief Petty Officer in the
US Navy), Scarlett( a 4th year Veterinary student at the
University of Pennsylvania) ,
Bill(working towards his Master Plumbing license), as well as 7
horses, 6 dogs, and 4 cats.
Another fun fact, Bonnie helped to pay her college tuition and
room and board by restoring antique motorcycles. She bought her
first "bike" to avoid the traffic on Pacific Coast Highway while
traveling to UC-Irvine. She had never ridden a bike but
quickly adapted. After she "cleaned it up", someone offered her
twice what she paid for the bike and she realized that this might
be a good avenue to help get through school. You can read all about
it in an archival issue of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette
(January 30, 2000).
However, Real Estate is where Bonnie has made her presence most
known. You may recognize her from Billboards in the South Hills or just off Route 79. Perhaps just
as recognizable as Bonnie is her Golden Retriever, Jett, the
official mascot of her business. People love to see Jett! Just the
other day, upon entering the Peters
Township sales office of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices the
Preferred Realty, the local mail carrier recognized the celebrity
canine, greeting him with the kind of excitement usually reserved
for the A-List!
Bonnie and Jett have appeared on Pittsburgh Today Live "In
Your Neighborhood" segments as well as many Community events and in
print and videos. Jett and 4 of the other family dogs are licensed
therapy dogs and regularly visit hospitals and care homes and
schools. Jett and his friends are titled as "Canine Good Citizens"
by the American Kennel Club and Jett holds several Obedience titles
and has recently qualified for the National Rally event in
2025.
After 26 years of working in a competing brokerage, Bonnie
and Jett have decided to make Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices
The Preferred realty their new home. Just last year, Bonnie closed
105 transactions. Now as a partner with one of America's most
trusted brands, Bonnie has more opportunities to help clients reach
their dreams in commercial and residential real estate. As her
motto says "We are holding the keys to your new home". We must say,
Jett does look dashing in Cabernet.
