Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Arizona Properties has added real estate sales executive Nikki Bernstein to its Scottsdale office. Bernstein, named the 2016 “Rookie of the Year” by the Arizona Journal of Real Estate and Business, sold $5.5 million in real estate last year and has already sold more than $6 million to date this year.

“Nikki is one of the top-selling real estate sales executives in Scottsdale, and in the first six months of this year has already outsold her record-breaking numbers from last year,” said Mark Stark, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Arizona Properties. “She is ambitious and fun, showing up every single day for her clients and her team. We are thrilled to welcome her to the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices family.”

Bernstein has worked in both commercial and residential real estate, working with Himovitz Properties’ commercial portfolio from 2004-2015 and beginning her work in residential real estate in late 2015. She specializes in working with mid-market properties in the Scottsdale area.

“Working with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices makes my team feel like we are standing on the shoulders of giants,” said Bernstein. “It matters to us and our clients to be affiliated with a company whose name carries such cache and fiduciary reputation of the Warren Buffett family of companies.”

Bernstein’s team, The NikkiB Group, now operates from its Scottsdale office at 14635 N. Kierland Blvd. More information on Bernstein’s services and team are online at http://www.nikkibsellsaz.com/.

Bernstein holds an undergraduate degree from the University of Arizona and an MBA from Arizona State University. She volunteers with several community organizations including the annual Beach Ball for Phoenix Children’s Hospital. She is also involved with Gesher Disability Resources, an organization that serves people with disabilities, the Jewish Federation on its real estate and finance committee and the Jewish National Fund. She said Berkshire Hathaway’s commitment to its team and its communities was important in her intentional decision to join one of the world’s top brands.

“This company has a bottom-up way of doing business, and it’s very meaningful,” she said. “We’re invested in our businesses and our communities. Berkshire Hathaway is known for this and it shows in the success of their companies. There is a joyful energy here.”
