Emily Askin is a real estate agent with Compass in Pittsburgh's East End. She works with buyers and sellers across Highland Park, Squirrel Hill, Point Breeze, Regent Square, Shadyside, and Friendship, and she is known for pricing old houses right and being honest about what a home is actually worth.

Before real estate, she spent years renovating and investing in property, which is why she reads a house the way a serious buyer does - the roof, the sewer line, the original woodwork worth saving, the flip-grade kitchen that will cost you later. She treats every sale as both a financial decision and a life decision, and she works it that way from pricing through closing.

She works with people relocating to Pittsburgh and with sellers trading up to their next house. She is also the agent design-minded buyers call when they want someone who can tell good bones from a fresh coat of paint.
