Emily's Concierge Page"5 STARS! My experience with Emily Askin could not have been better! I needed a full service realtor who was going to help me through this process and hold my hand step by step since I was selling my mother's home after her death and it was hard not to be emotional and attached to the home. Emily's regard to this sensitive time was touching. She was easy to work with and has a delightful personality! She was always quick to respond by text or phone when I had any questions. I appreciate her fierce negotiating during this difficult time and in the end I got what I wanted and was able to move on.

"The best way to predict the future is to create it." - Peter Drucker
Known for being both professional and personable, I draw on my diverse background as a successful entrepreneur, professionally trained actor, improv comedian, and Aveda-trained beauty professional, bringing an innovative and forward-thinking approach to client service. As an alumna of the Kenyon College Theater Department and the Upright Citizens Brigade in New York (UCB), I honed my skills in improv comedy, performing and teaching with the best in the business for over two decades across the US, in New York, LA and in Pittsburgh with Steel City Improv and the Arcade Comedy Theater.
Returning to Pittsburgh from New York in 2011, I co-founded Tula Organic Salon and Spa, swiftly earning the title of Pittsburgh’s Best Salon in its inaugural year. From building out my salon, to renovating investment properties with my husband, my love of craftsmanship, design, and solid engineering seamlessly integrates into my approach to the brick and mortar side of real estate. I have a great respect for the historical architecture that we are lucky to have in Pittsburgh, and care deeply about housing quality. I'm very driven to aid in preserving and revitalizing our housing stock. My goal is to support and advise my clients when it comes to all aspects of home maintenance before, during and after you've bought or sold your home.
I leverage my liberal arts and design background to innovate in the ever-changing world of real estate, viewing my role as a connector not only between humans and homes but also between people, your ideas, and the Pittsburgh community. I thrive on finding and creating connections, utilizing my local expertise and market knowledge to facilitate innovative partnerships. I genuinely love this city and hope that shines through as we navigate the real estate landscape, blending my entrepreneurial acumen with a deep-rooted appreciation for Pittsburgh's true grit.
My two decades of improv training infuses every aspect of my work, allowing me to approach every scenario from multiple angles, expound on ideas, pivot, and negotiate effectively. My most powerful asset is my ability to think on my feet, adapt to changing situations, and find creative solutions. Whether it's navigating complex negotiations, finding innovative marketing strategies, or addressing unexpected challenges, my improvisational skills enable me to pivot seamlessly and negotiate effectively to achieve the best outcomes. This unique skill set positions me as a resourceful and adaptable real estate professional,capable of finding creative solutions and achieving successful outcomes for you, my clients.
