My name is Gloria Van Solkema, and it would be a privilege to guide you through buying or selling your home.

Originally from Central Pennsylvania, I relocated to Pittsburgh after earning my B.S in Accounting from Penn State. I began my real estate career in property management, where I built a strong foundation in the industry and developed an in-depth understanding of Pittsburgh’s unique neighborhoods and market dynamics.

Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to help over 100 clients successfully navigate their real estate transactions – an experience that has deepened both my expertise and my passion for what I do.

With a background in finance, attention to detail, and love for helping others, I bring a thoughtful, strategic approach to every client relationship. My goal is to make the process as seamless and stress-free as possible, ensuring you feel informed, confident, and supported every step of the way.

Buying and selling a home is a huge deal - and it deserves thoughtful, careful attention.

That’s why I take a personalized yet seamless approach to each of my clients. I’d love to help you find or sell your little piece of Pittsburgh.
