Husband-and-wife team Susan and Arlen Rissover first bonded over something they would eventually go into business in together: their matching Midcentury Modern dorms at the University of Cincinnati. Now, they have a thriving realty business —Cincinnati Modern— based around buying and selling houses that exemplify Midcentury architecture. The realty dream-team boasts a list of credentials, including Susan having co-authored50 from the 50s: Modern Architecture and Interiors in Cincinnati, and Arlen’s 20 years of experience in the mortgage industry. And, in 2017, it paid off: they made over $13 million in sales and sold 100 percent of their listings within the original listing periods.
Their website also has a “Moderns on the Market” tab where you can peruse the duo’s unique listings — if you’re in the market, looking for design ideas or just bored at work. We looked through their curated list of homes that fall into the Contemporary, Midcentury and Modern categories and found some spectacular available* homes that are under $350K.
For more info about the homes, visit their website.
*Homes may have a pending sale, please contact realtor for details.
