MID-CENTURY MODERN HOME SPECIALISTS
“It’s always been about giving these houses a voice, and finding buyers who appreciate them.”
cincinnatimodern has spent the past 19 years educating buyers, homeowners and real estate industry professionals about the midcentury and modern homes that are part of the cincinnati landscape, the architects who designed them and the ways to care for these homes as they age. matching modern home buyers with modern home sellers is our passion, because only through understanding and appreciation comes the knowledge needed to preserve and sustain our treasured architecture.
if you are one of us, we want to know you! we want to work with you!
we are your one stop shop for all topics related to the midcentury modern homeowner and those who want to become MCM homeowners. while we specialize in unique properties, we use the same care and professionalism to help you buy and sell any property.
