Cincinnati Real Estate: Schools, Rules, and Taxes

Every home buyer I work with has different criteria that defines what is ideal for them. I often hear phrases like ‘good school district’, ‘low taxes’, and ‘nice neighbors’.As a Cincinnati real estate agent licensed in Ohio, there are certain rules that govern how we present information to clients.

The challenge is defining what ‘good’ is. Families may define good in terms of test scores, athletics, number of extra curricular activities, or even college acceptance rate.  As a Realtor the best service I can provide my clients is to  point them to district information and let them decide what works best for them.  I encourage my clients to consider the cost of private school and property taxes when they are considering areas to live. In some cases the comparative costs make a difference of where my clients choose to live.

I have compiled a relatively complete list of links to the various grade schools throughout Cincinnati. The list includes Public, Private, and Religious institutions. I have them listed on my Cincinnati Area School Information page in the Real Estate Resources section of this website.

Twitter and Real Estate Marketing

Twitter has been getting a lot of media attention recently, but the reality is that Twitter can be a useful tool in real estate marketing. Most often I use Twitter to send out shot notes about property activity, primarily price changes and open houses. It is a great way for me to draw some attention to my website as well as make those who follow me aware of the trends and activity I see in the local Cincinnati real estate market.

The Honolulu Star Bulletin has a short article about another real estate agent in Hawaii who is using Twitter to build her personal brand as a real estate agent. What has become a real boost to the relevance of Twitter is the emergence of Twitter search engines like Topsy.  You can follow me on Twitter too! My handle is @AlisonMossCincy
