PITTSBURGH, PA, June 13, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ — Brian M. Sergi-Curfman, Realtor® and associate broker with Howard Hanna, was selected by Marquis Who’s Who for a prominent feature in the April/May 2025 Pittsburgh edition of Forbes magazine.
Over the past 20 years, Mr. Sergi-Curfman has built an esteemed reputation in the real estate industry.

As a part-time real estate agent, he elected to transition full-time into the position of Realtor® and sold more houses than many of his long-tenured peers. Within just four years of tremendous education and testing, he would become a real estate broker, able to open his own office, hire his own staff and run his own business. Instead, Mr. Sergi-Curfman remained with Howard Hanna for a total of 15 years before deciding to pursue other ventures. After a few months of conversation, he returned to Howard Hanna in April 2024, where he rekindled his success and a feeling of home.

He has also garnered numerous accolades, including being named one of the 10 Best Real Estate Agents in Pennsylvania and America’s Best Real Estate Agent by RealTrends and the Pittsburgh Business Times. Mr. Sergi-Curfman is one of only nine brokers in the state of Pennsylvania to be listed as a Five Star Real Estate Agent eight times by Pittsburgh Magazine. Additionally, he was ranked in the top 1% of real estate brokers nationwide by the Realty Alliance National Sales Excellence Award. He was further named one of the “Ten Best Real Estate Agents in Pennsylvania” for client satisfaction by The American Institute of Real Estate Agents.
Mr. Sergi-Curfman attributes part of his success to his understanding of and ability to keep up with policy and real estate law changes through the prolific documents created by the Pennsylvania Association of Realtors. He also believes that his bachelor’s and master’s education in psychology, negotiation ethics and counseling are directly related to his primary vocation and have greatly improved his service to his clients.
