About Colette Freiwald
Born and raised in Pittsburgh, I am proud and excited to see the Restoration of my city to the beautiful,sports, cultural and technology driven center that it is today. I graduated from Point Park University with a Theatre Arts degree. My passion has always been on creativity and design vision. After spending two years living in the Thousand Islands, Canada and two plus years in New York City, I came back to the city I love and built a career in sales with two financial institutions and a Travel and Entertainment Company. I have traveled and learned every part of the city and surrounding suburbs and counties. The diversity of the people as well as the architecture and homes of this very affordable area is hard to beat. All of this experience translates beautifully into the Real Estate and Home Staging Career I continue to build. My primary goal is on the client experience-to give the highest level of support and assistance throughout the sales process. I have also spent time teaching and training both in films and in person to company employees and students on various topics. I have a passion for acting (and still perform when time permits and the right opportunity presents itself). I also love bringing new life to old furniture and believe in reuse and repurpose. I love animals and hope to someday own a rescue facility for the benefit of abandoned and abused animals.

FAQS
1) What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
The best thing to do is find a Real Estate Agent that you trust and love working with, because you will be spending quite some time together.
Have a sit down and discuss the process and what to expect. Speak with a lender and get pre approved so you know how much you can afford to pay and be ready to submit that offer when you find your perfect home!
2) What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
Again, find a Real Estate Agent that you trust. Ask questions and learn as much as you can about the sales price of homes in your area. Clear out the unneeded items and spruce up areas of your home needing attention. Be flexible when it comes to home tours and open houses and be willing to negotiate when reviewing offers.
3) What types of clients have you worked with?
I have worked with all types of clients from young, single first home buyers to out of state buyers looking to move to Pittsburgh. I have worked, and am actively working with Investors both in and out of state. I have helped out of state clients find a home without ever being here until closing. I have helped elderly sellers clean out the contents of their home to ready it for sale and have helped them choose the the items in their newly built homes. I have worked with divorce cases and Estates. And I am open to working with anyone needing help with their Real Estate needs.
4) Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
I recently helped a very young man from California find his first home. All of it was done via Face Time, including the Inspection and follow up tours of the home. He and his father came in for the closing and they couldn't be more thrilled with the home he bought, sight unseen in Forest Hills.
5) How did you get started in Real Estate?
I have always had an interest in Real Estate and about 5 years ago, I became interested in becoming an investor. I have an eye for design and staging so thought it would be an instant win. I learned that I enjoy almost all aspects of the Real Estate Business.
6) Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
I have a background in Theatre. We have the a wonderful knack for speaking confidently with all kinds of people and a capacity to learn and retain information quickly. We also have a deep appreciation for art and design, which comes in handy when looking at and showing/staging homes. I am also a native Pittsburgher, with a vast knowledge of the area, it's history and culture. I have been in sales for over 20 years with First Data, PNC Bank and American Express among other companies.
