You can write like this:

  Device.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(async() => {    
         Map.Pins.Clear();
         Map.MapElements.Clear();
         await ExecuteLoadPinsCommand();    
  });

it worked but it created another problem, the method ExecuteUpdatePinsCommand still says "this async method lacks "await" operator", what should I do ?

you can make this method ExecuteUpdatePinsCommand return type as Void like this: private void ExecuteUpdatePinsCommand() {}

But will it not make the execution of the code not wait for ExecuteUpdatePinsCommand to finish executing if I make it void ?

Your ExecuteLoadPinsCommand() method is awaited already it will wait
