Thoughtful Real Estate. Fierce Advocacy.

Buying or selling a home is personal.

I help clients move through it with clarity, confidence, and calm.

I’m Emily Askin:  a Pittsburgh real estate advisor known for strategic thinking, design fluency, and deeply human client service. Before real estate, I built and led a successful small business, performed nationally in theater and comedy, and spent decades negotiating, marketing, and advocating for people one-on-one.

Today, I bring that experience to every transaction, pairing sharp market insight with creativity, composure, and an unwavering focus on my clients’ best interests.

I advocate relentlessly, communicate clearly, and never forget what’s at stake.

The result is a real estate experience that feels grounded, intelligent, and genuinely supportive.

High standards. No drama. (Occasional well-timed humor included.)

“Emily Askin is truly an exceptional Real Estate Agent... Every decision that I made, small or big, mattered to her. I would trust her with my eyes closed.” - Shona M.

Reviews

  • Emily is thoughtful, detailed, and attentive. She knows the area, the market, and made the process easy. With her help, our house sold at a competitive price. We felt taken care of through this experience. Aside from being an amazing professional, she's a really awesome human.

  • Emily was a dream to work with-so helpful and responsive at any time of day! We felt so lucky to have her throughout the process of buying our home. Would highly recommend her to anyone!

  • This is my second time working with Emily. The first time was when she was so helpful in transitioning my son and daughter in law in their relocation to Pittsburgh. Her insight into neighborhoods was really important for them I was so impressed with her diligence and kindness that when I was ready to find a property for my own needs, I knew immediately to contact her team. I feel they go above and beyond to make the process go well. She can see the potential upside in properties and the potential pitfalls.

  • "We recently relocated from Los Angeles to Pittsburgh and the Askin-Wilson Group was incredible every step of the way! A big life decision like this requires trust in a partner that can help us from such a far distance. From the first encounter with Abby & Emily, we instantly developed trust and friendship. They offered great market expertise,"

    — Kyrnan Matthias

  • "When moving to the area as new arrivals from the West Coast, we knew almost nothing about the city or it's neighborhoods. Emily guided us through the decisions and areas that were important to us, suggested new local avenues of inquiry, and was always forthcoming and patient with each new round of questioning we could devise. Eventually, her won..."

  • "I was impressed with her level of knowledge and the amount of data that she had about the market. It was a no-brainer for me to work with her since I was set on buying a home and I’m so thankful I did. The amount of effort and time she put into walking me through the process is unbelievable. From the first day that we met, she spent time walkin..."

  • "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. 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 for this sensitive time was touching. She was..."
