Born and raised in Finland, Pia left the country after college to pursue a career in the fashion industry. She studied at the School of Fashion Design in Boston and the Teko Center in Denmark before working for over two decades in countries all over the globe managing an impressive collection of premium designer brands. While New York has been her home base for over 20 years, Pia considers herself a “Citizen of the World.”
Pia’s father was an architect, so real estate has always been a part of her life. She believes that the strengths that led to her success in the fashion industry apply to real estate including her integrity, energy, work ethic, logic, and creativity. All of these strengths have made her transition to the real estate industry an easy one.
Thanks to her experience living in countries across the globe, Pia understands the importance of outstanding customer service when it comes to relocating. She understands the stress that comes with real estate transactions, and how important it is to be there for clients 24/7 - helping, guiding and educating them throughout every step of the process. Armed with top-notch information and market insight, Pia helps clients make the best decision possible, with as much ease as possible.
In her personal life, Pia is a firm believer in giving back and is particularly passionate about animals. She volunteers with rescue organizations, participates in foster programs for cats and supports local rescue and shelter groups. She also enjoys yoga, cooking, and traveling and has a goal to climb the seven summits with her son.
Pia lives downtown and specializes in Chelsea, Greenwich Village, Gramercy, and NoHo.
