Our standard
Built here.
Built to grow.
A modern brokerage with Pittsburgh roots and a bigger view of what is possible.
Founded in 2018 by Michael Hanlon and Dionne Malush, Gold Standard was created for people who want more from real estate: more strategy, more support, more room to build a business that lasts.

The work behind the name
Culture is
a system.
Our edge is not a slogan. It is the daily practice of giving agents a better operating system: business strategy, mindset, creative branding, and a team invested in the long game.
That same clarity shapes the client experience. We bring the local read, the honest answer, and the next useful step—whether you are preparing to sell, searching for a home, or figuring out where to begin.
