chapter 35: illumination

  I’m going to come clean.  I’m the kind of person who likes to get things like toasters or vacuum cleaners as gifts.  As long the design is good, I’m perfectly happy to get something practical.  And things for the house have always been my jam.  So it should be no...

it was the 90’s…

As a follow up to our trip to Fallingwater, I could not help but share these "treasured" Rissover family photos. I like to think of myself as someone with classic (modern) good taste. I think my home proves that. I like to think my personal style does as well. More...

  We found ourselves with just a few days this summer when 4 of the 5 Rissover clan were available for a short vacation.  So we started exploring driving destinations and settled on a trip to western Pennsylvania.  What?  Not your first choice for Vacation?  I...

what’s in a floor plan? (aka: learning to LOVE a split level)

 Modern homes come in all shapes and sizes and much to the chagrin of the mls and home appraisers, often defy categorization.  Homes commonly referred to as split levels can be quad or tri levels, or split foyer bi levels, but they share one thing in common.  Stairs...

once, twice, SOLD to the highest bidder!

  This is it, folks.  A unique opportunity for someone who truly appreciates vintage style.  The complete 'state of the art 1960' Nutone-Formica kitchen from the Corbett House in Cincinnati is up for auction on EBTH. It's what I like to call the "boxer shorts" kitchen...

  I write of this with a heavy heart, and after a long day and a glass of wine.  The house that started my quest into Cincinnati Modern architecture was torn down today.  I knew it was coming.  The house was in terrible disrepair and suffering...

    I would recommend them to anyone!

    Susan and Arlen are not only top notch realtors, but they also take the time to make it personal with their clients. Their knowledge of the mid century modern market coupled with their years of expertise created a very positive experience for my husband and me. I would recommend them to anyone!

    ~ Julie

    They have over-exceeded my expectations

    Susan and Arlen are excellent realtors! They have gone above and beyond, using the latest technology, many years of expertise, and fast, open communication to help us sell our house. They have over-exceeded my expectations for good, thorough service and professionalism.

    ~ Natalie & Will

    Bought my dream home

    Bought my dream home from them nearly two years ago. Fabulous, friendly and reliable folks! I’d buy and sell with them again! No issues at all, really enjoyed the cincinnatimodern team.

    ~ Mark

    Thank you!!!

    Susan & Arlen were exceptional during the sale of our home. They were incredibly knowledgeable, communicative, and ended up getting us far more for our home than we realized it was worth! I’m grateful that they worked with us because I don’t know that other realtors would have had the wherewithal to appropriately list our home. Thank you!!!

    ~ Sloane & Sarah

    You are the best!

    We always drop your names and pretend that we are more than business associates. Thanks for everything – being charming & the best in the business! Until we meet again…

    ~ Linda & John
