Customer service and satisfaction is paramount to my success in real estate since I began this career in 1999. My vast client base with consistent repeat and referral business supports this focus. Balance between home life, with a husband and three children and two dogs, and a business is a crucial element. Forming a family-run team in the last few years has enabled me to support the real estate needs of my clientele while still providing attention at home and in the community. You are sure to see me or my signs in Loveland where I reside and in the surrounding three county area.
Fun Fact: My husband Bryan & I trained and ran together in the Columbus Marathon in 2004. Running, traveling, and being involved in church and school related activities are my other areas of interest.

Loveland, Ohio – Loveland is known for not only being home to some of the most unique businesses but also the most inspirational business owners. There’s a new business in town and the concept is both one-of-a-kind and embodies that Loveland historical charm; introducing Old School Pix!
Bailey Vermette, a local who has paved the way for the non-profit group Cincy Corgis, and her mother, Stacey Vermette, decided shortly after the 2nd Annual Old School Corgi Meet-Up that their old schoolhouse paired with their 1953 Chevy 3100 truck would create quite the backdrop for those who wanted professional photos taken. On August 22nd Old School Pix officially came into conception and since then the response has been out of this world according to Bailey.
“Currently we already have 80 sessions booked, which is absolutely mind-blowing,” Bailey said, “We just started Sunday, August 22nd, and the response has been amazing! We also plan on holding more events at the property too which will be highlighted on our Facebook page.”
Old School Pix, located at 10266 Murdock-Goshen Road, features a 2-acre property that includes an 1872 one-room schoolhouse that was formally known as Pleasant View School, a 1953 Chevy 3100 Truck, and many other vintage props. Photographers are able to rent out time slots at the property so that they can conduct a beautiful photoshoot for their clients. The property itself is private so the Vermette’s do ask that you schedule a time slot to take a tour of the property or conduct a photoshoot.
Take a look below at the photoshoots that have been done thus far at Old School Pix!

Loveland, Ohio – The Loveland High School Cross Country teams are looking forward to hosting their first of four meets this season beginning with the Loveland Invite this Saturday at Home of the Brave Park. 18 teams will compete.
The Loveland Women will compete on their home field as the just-announced, Ohio Association of Track and Cross Country Coaches, #1 Division team in Ohio. The Men are currently ranked 14.

Loveland, Ohio – Resident, Cindy Kessler recently set up her Seeds to Trees booth at Paddlefest. The Ohio River Paddlefest is a project of Adventure Crew, an organization that provides outdoor recreation opportunities to inner-city teens in 24 high schools in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.
For seven years Cindy has grown trees from seed, giving the seedlings away – for free – around Loveland. With the help of three friends, over 800 seedlings were given away last year at Starbucks, Mile 42 Coffee, Graeter’s, LaRosa Pizzeria, and Narrow Path Brewery. This grassroots effort is their way of combating climate change, one tree at a time.
Cindy says that It’s easy to feel powerless considering today’s environmental degradation, but this is something tangible that anyone can do, right in their own backyard. If you want to join her project Cindy will walk you through the process.
“If many people, ideally worldwide, grew a few buckets of seedlings, and gave them away within their communities, collectively, we can make a huge impact. As the saying goes, ‘Think Globally, Act Locally,” said Cindy.
Self-described “Dog Mom” Cassie Mattia lives in Historic Downtown Loveland with Nala, Dean, and her boyfriend Adam. Cassie is the Associate Editor of Loveland Magazine.
Loveland, Ohio – We are pleased to present Loveland Magazine’s Pet of the Month for September! The community of Loveland provided us with some amazing Pet of the Month candidates and we are beyond thrilled to celebrate these loved animals!
Haley Hansberry is the proud owner of two longhaired miniature dachshunds that she says “are the most lovable little pups around!” Phoebe turned 1 in May and Poppy is 6 months old.
“They love meeting everyone on our walks down at the bike trail,” Haley said, “They like grabbing a bite to eat at Ramsey’s, getting a little pup cup from either Graeters or Loveland Dairy Whip, and saying hi to their favorite baristas at the Loveland Starbucks! These two have never met a stranger before!”
Meet Siblings Phoebe and Poppy

Loveland, Ohio – These events will be your chance to personally meet the local politicians who want to be part of the teams leading the Loveland City School District and Loveland City Council for the next 1,440 days. Four-long years, so this is important!
On October 21 the Little Miami River Chamber Alliance, Loveland Magazine, and LOVELAND MAGAZINE TV will host the contenders for seats on the school board, and on October 14 they will bring together on a public stage your job applicants for Loveland City Council.
City Council – October 14, at 7:00 PM at the Loveland Middle School/Intermediate School Cafeteria.
School Board – October 21, at 7:00 PM at the Loveland Middle School/Intermediate School Cafeteria.
Will there be undisputed champs?
Election fans can see if the contenders roll with the punches, stick and move, or have promises that pack a punch. Will you see any future respected political figures or elder statesmen/women?
Both of these heavyweight championship Forums will be broadcast “LIVE” on the Loveland Magazine FaceBook Page. It’s not Pay-per-View and tickets are not required – it’s totally FREE!
Who knows, there might be some highfalutin’ good ideas that come from one or more of these candidates that can transform Loveland. There will almost certainly be some re-hashing the past but that will be OK if it leads to knowledge of what the future might hold.
Politicians routinely offer more promises than they keep, however hearing them straight from their mouths is the start of holding them accountable. Meeting them in person is always better than voting based on the number of yard signs and you can be a political influencer if you can say, “I actually heard her say it!”
If you cannot attend in person or chose to be inside the safety of your own home you may want to tune in LIVE to be in-the-know.
The format will follow the same as in the past:
To begin, candidates will each present their platform for 2 minutes and tell you why they are running for office.
Questions will be asked for 60 minutes allowing each candidate two minutes to reply or pass.
After 60 minutes candidates are asked to close with 2-minute speeches.
Voters can throw their written questions into the octagon and all questions will be screened for duplicity by independent ring-side judges. The emcees will ask as many of the questions as time allows in the 60 minutes.
You the registered voters of the City of Loveland and the Loveland City School District however will be the crucial and critically important judges come November 2 so reserve your ring-side seat by saving these dates.

More than 3,000 Ohioans per day are contracting COVID-19 on average, the highest the rate has been since early February.
Over the last month, hospitalizations increased by between 83% and 375% by age group, according to data from the Ohio Hospital Association.
As children go back to school, more students are testing positive. Comparing the week of July 4 with the week of August 25, COVID-19 infections leapt by 909% among all Ohioans and 827% among school-age Ohioans, according to separate data from the Ohio Department of Health.
While vaccination has modestly picked up pace, Ohio’s coverage sags well below the national average. About 52% of the state has received at least one vaccine dose, compared to 61% nationally, according to a New York Times data tracker. Only 12 states have a lower rate.
The state’s hottest spots for infection are toward the southern border, where the vaccination rate sits between 30% and 40%.
All told, more than 65,000 Ohioans have been hospitalized with COVID-19. More than 20,700 have died.
“With many districts going back to school last week, the number of illnesses from Monday, Aug. 23 is troubling,” said ODH Director Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff in a news release. “As students statewide continue to return to their classrooms, this high figure should be yet another indicator to parents and families that the best protection from COVID-19 is for those 12 and older to choose to be vaccinated, and for those who aren’t vaccinated to wear masks.”
