Hey Cincinnati! Are you looking for reliable child care or pet care? Looking for someone reliable to tidy up + help around the house? Look no further, Tandem is now launching in our city! Tandem is here to help with all of your care + household needs. I am beyond excited to welcome this expedient platform to our city.
What is Tandem?
Tandem is the only free network for care and household connections. “We believe connections to reliable providers shouldn’t come at a cost. That’s why we created a free, easy-to-use platform to find child care, house cleaning, and pet care providers in Ohio. We facilitate connections to pre-screened care providers who have built a reputation on the platform. We’re on a mission to connect as many people as possible, for free.”- Olivia, founder of Tandem.
Tandem providers offer child care, house cleaning, pet care and more! Within these categories, you can post jobs on your own schedule. So, what does that mean? You can now find a last minute, date night sitter, or even a full-time nanny. Same thing goes for pet care... You can find someone to watch your pet for the weekend or find someone to walk them for an afternoon. Your needs can be in advance or ASAP. Tandem lets you hire who you need, on your timeline.
Each family is connected with vetted, well-qualified care providers. All Tandem caregivers complete a background check and it must be returned with zero flags before they get hired for their first job.
The Story of Tandem
Tandem was founded in Columbus, Ohio in 2019 and has over 10,000 users in Central Ohio today. Tandem is now expanding to Cincinnati and Cleveland, allowing more people to take advantage of the free network they’ve built.
The idea of Tandem was started by Olivia at just 10 years old. Olivia had started a neighborhood kids camp right in her backyard. Over the years, the camp grew and connected her with a network of families to care for. She realized the power of trust-based connections in the childcare industry and wanted to make this process easier for families and other care providers.
With the industry challenges in mind, she created Tandem. The goal was to replicate word of mouth, which is why Tandem is completely free, removing typical barriers. Olivia has built a female-run team of 16. She works hard every day to grow her platform and help people in need of reliable care and household services.
Who Benefits from Tandem
- Any parent looking for reliable child care. This could be a full-time nanny or a one-time sitter.
- Anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter. This could be for walks, feeding, overnight sitting, or long-term boarding.
- Anyone looking for a reliable house cleaner. This could be for your personal home or even your investment property (Airbbnb or hotel).
- Any parent looking for assistance with errands. Tandem has providers for grocery delivery, laundry help, sports lessons, music lessons and more.
Tandem will connect you with an active network of care providers in a variety of industries, based on your specific wants and needs. You don’t have to be in need of a provider to use Tandem. If you’re a care provider yourself, Tandem is also for you!
Become a Tandem Provider

I was honored to be interviewed on PropertySpark! Below is a snippet of the article and you can read more here.
What inspired you to start in real estate and how did you motivate yourself to keep going?
At one point in my life, I moved a total of 6 times within a two year time frame. Moving from place to place and not having a true place to call home was exhausting. After my last and final move, things changed. My home, my relationships, my career…my life literally went a 360. I can say, when I finally found “my home”, my life was forever changed. I know how it feels to finally find home and I am inspired to find that for others, too. My personal story motivates me to continue to help others.
Comparing your business from back then to now, what has been the main thing that allowed you to expand your business?
Collaboration over competition. Meeting and empowering other people within our industry has helped me continuously grow my business. I love to hear what people are doing to grow their business. Hearing stories about certain techniques that did / didn’t work is good to know. I am a true believer that the more you surround yourself with successful people, the more you will grow and learn how to serve your clients better. I am also always available to help out the agents within my brokerage with showings, open houses and closings. I am always finding new ways to learn and grow.
What’s the most profitable aspect of your business, why do you think this is and how can others apply this to what they are doing?
My creative mindset. Like many agents, I have years of marketing + sales experience. I have various connections within our city, and know how to negotiate fiercely. There’s no doubt I can close the deal on your dream home. When it comes to buying or selling your home, of course having a Realtor who knows how to get the deal done is very important. But hiring a Realtor who also has a creative mindset and is on top of marketing trends, really makes a difference. I pride myself on my creativity, online presence and extensive research. I will make your home stand out in today’s market. There is no doubt that my techniques will get your property sold in a timely manner, for its top dollar. I make sure my social media posts are creative and consistent, allowing my audience to get educated with the home selling or buying process. I gain clientele that way and receive many compliments that my content is very helpful. I think it is so important to keep my clients and sphere well informed, through a creative yet fun way.
When did you realize you were successful/made it and how did you feel/celebrate?
To be honest, it all started when I became licensed. For me, that test was a challenge. Every moment leading up to it was a challenge as well. I have a creative mindset… I am not a test taker. Ask me to make a presentation all about real estate and I’ll thrive. Ask me to sit in silence for 3 hours and take a standardized test on a computer and you will definitely not see me thriving. Once I finally passed, I knew the world was in my hands. I also knew it wasn’t going to be easy but it was something I was meant to do. I celebrated that day getting tacos and margs, before my next life journey would begin and I would be working full time again. Once I was licensed and able to make a difference in others lives, I knew I finally made it. Here I am today, a year later, living out my dream of helping others achieve their goals. It’s a very hard career, and of course I have my hard days. Those hard days are what push me to grow and make me who I am. I am beyond grateful to know that every single day I wake up, I get to do what I love. And that’s how you know you’ve made it in life.
What should other real estate entrepreneurs reading this be focusing on to expand their own business?
Building community. Not only is my business based off of creativity and connections, but it’s also based off of relationships. Community is VERY important to me – I love the community I’ve developed here in my town and beyond. With agents, neighbors, social media followers, and of course clientele. I really do have a passion for getting to know people and hearing their stories. There is a huge difference between a connection and a relationship. Getting to know my clients / building relationships is super important to me. You can have thousands of “connections” but those who you truly get to know and help are the most important to me. It goes a long way. I want to get the deal done but I also want a quality relationship. Don’t just focus on gaining clients, focus on building your community and the rest will flow.

Thinking about buying or selling your home? Currently in the market? This guide is for you!
Remember this… it’s okay to stop your agent and ask “wait… what does that mean?” That’s what I’m here for. Buying or selling a house is a huge commitment and likely the biggest purchase you’ll make. If you’ve never been through the process or if it has been a few years, it can be a bit overwhelming. Having a solid home buying/ selling vocabulary will help you organize the process, from start to sold. Here’s my list of essential real estate terms every home buyer and seller should know:
MLS: (also known as the Multiple Listing Service): An online database that is only offered to real estate brokers/ agents to search for and list properties. The MLS allows me to set up exclusive client portals. My clients receive an email the moment a home that matches their criteria hits the market, even before it reaches sites like Zillow or Realtor! As a seller, when I list your home on the MLS, your listing will automatically get sent to thousands of potential buyers.
Comps: Short for “comparable sales.” Comps are recently sold homes similar to yours (or the home you may be purchasing) in location, size, condition, and features. You and your agent will use comps to help price your home (or to come up with a reasonable price when writing an offer). Curious of what your current home may be worth? Click here to get a preliminary estimate, in under two minutes.
Contingent:A word meaning “dependent on.” In real estate, it means the seller has accepted an offer, but some additional conditions must be met. The most common contingencies include inspection, financing, appraisal, title, and home sale.
Earnest Money (also known as a “good faith” deposit):The money a buyer puts down when they are serious about purchasing your home. The higher the earnest money, typically, the greater the interest. I always encourage my buyers to write a minimum 1% of the purchase price, although every scenario varies. The funds remain in escrow until closing and are likely applied your closing costs. Alternatively, you can receive your earnest money back after closing.
Escrow:A third-party account that holds funds like earnest money, property taxes, and insurance during a real estate transaction.
Counter Offer: Counter offers become part of the home buying and selling process after buyers make an offer on a house. Sellers can change the offer to fit their wants. A counter offer is made in response to the original offer and completely voids it. This means that the original offer can no longer be accepted.
Addendum: An additional document that gets added to the purchase and sale agreement. This document will include any additional information or requests that the buyer or seller did not put into the original agreement. The addendum has the ability to override the original terms of the agreement. Items in the addendum could reflect a change in the agreed-upon price, what is included in the sale, repairs that must be made before closing, or any other agreed-upon requests.
Escalation clause: A tool used by buyers to outbid competitors for a property. In the contract submitted by the buyer to the seller, the buyer states they will increase their offer by a certain amount if the seller receives offers higher than theirs.
Pending: Pending means the house has an agreed upon executed contract between the buyer and seller. A home will be marked as “pending” until closing day. I have had clients ask “can we still tour or offer on a home that’s pending?” It is up to the sellers. At this point, some sellers don’t see the point in continuing to accept additional offers, but some may allow backup offers. It is still technically possible for the sale to fall apart, so I think it’s smart to have a backup offer in place.
Closing Costs: Fees and expenses that buyers and sellers must pay on closing day. The rule of thumb is that total closing costs will amount to 3 – 6% of the home’s total purchase price, although this can vary depending on local property taxes, insurance costs and other factors. Typically, the buyers pay the closing costs but sellers will sometimes agree to make some concessions toward closing costs. Tip- closing costs and down payment are two different things. Don’t mix them up!
Home warranty: A policy that will repair or replace major components such as HVAC, plumbing, and electrical, as well as appliances such as stoves and refrigerators, for an annual premium that you pay upfront. As a seller, you can offer a home warranty to make your home more desirable to prospective buyers. A home with a warranty is more likely to sell quickly as the home warranty protection gives the buyer more confidence and peace of mind with their purchase. As a buyer, you can request the sellers to purchase a warranty for you or you can purchase it on your own. It’s not required. If you need more information about home warranties, contact me. I will put you in touch with the local contact for home warranties.
Interest Rate Lock: An agreement between borrower and lender allowing the borrower to keep a certain interest for a specified amount of time before closing. This is nice to have while you’re in the process of home shopping. I have connections to amazing rate lock programs. Please ask me about my preferred lenders.
Staging:The process of making your home appealing to potential buyers by decluttering, rearranging furniture, or bringing in different furniture and decor. You can stage your home yourself or I can help you hire a professional stager. I also have a few staging items I bring myself, to spice up your home before pictures/ showings.
Bonus Round…
HWHD: Home with Hannah Downs. Thinking of buying or selling and want to hear more about comps, staging, or any other parts in the process? Reach out to HWHD!
At HWHD, my goal is to make sure each and every client is set up for sucess and well informed. I promise to make the buying or selling process as seamless as possible by educating you from start to finish.

This month I was delighted to be featured on Cincinnati Refined with Amy Scalia! You can read the article below or go to Cincinnati Refined to watch my video interview with Amy.
Whether you're from Cincinnati or not, Hannah Downs will make it feel like home. 
She's a lifelong Cincinnati resident as well as a Realtor, social media influencer, and blogger covering all things Greater Cincinnati on www.homewithhannahdowns.com.
"I love to explore our city, welcome new people to Cincinnati, and help others find a home while connecting them with the community," she says. "And as a full-time Realtor, I also love offering helpful real estate tips to keep everyone in the know."
She says her social media is a mix of fun Cincinnati-centric lifestyle content, helpful real estate tips, and marketing for her clients. In fact, Downs was recently featured as Top 100 Real Estate Agents on Social Media in North America. "Marketing your home is more than listing it on the MLS, Zillow, Realtor.com and Trulia. Your Realtor should use every possible outlet to market your home: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, virtual tours, flyers, email blasts, and open houses," she explains. "I develop custom, digitally-savvy marketing strategies for each and every one of my clients."
When looking for a new home in a new neighborhood, Downs' biggest recommendation is to have a realtor who truly knows the community. "Having a large network is important, especially in this market," she says. "Inventory is very low, so having a Realtor with connections to find off-market opportunities for clients can be a game-changer."
When it comes to tips for buyers in this red hot real estate market, Downs says that being prepared is the most important. Be sure you already have a pre-approval letter before you start shopping, and be sure to talk to a lender about your budget. “You’d be surprised how much you can secure for a home these days,” she says. “You really want to be able to make an offer as soon as you see ‘the’ home, and having an agent who’s knowledgeable puts you ahead of the game.”
She adds that it’s important to be all-in and ready to act quick. "The housing market is quick, and sellers wants to be able to close as quickly as possible," she adds.
If you’re trying to sell your home in this market, Downs says that there are several simple upgrades you can make to get it ready for buyers and get the most for your home: The first tip, she says, is to declutter and organize. “Clean off those counters and be sure to put away the family photos,” she says. "Another thing, is to take a look at your walls and trim. White, bright, and airy is in right now, so a fresh coat of paint could do wonders in bringing in offers on your home."
Lastly, she says, think curb appeal. "You want to handle your landscaping. Trim those bushes, lay down fresh mulch, and even get out the power washer to freshen things up,” she says.
Working with Downs starts with a consultation. She take a grand tour of your home before utilizing a proprietary program to get you in touch with a network of trusted resources. “I will give you a long to-do list and then connect you with Sibcy Cline-trusted Home Services providers,” she says. “They’ll help you get your home list-ready in no time.”
You can also check out Downs’ website, homewithhannahdowns.com, to learn more about her and the city. “I have a blog on there highlighting things to do around Cincinnati,” she says. “I also have exclusive listings on website, so if you’re curious to know what each neighborhood has to offer, that’s the place to go.”
She also has a program to help you find out what your home may be worth if you’re thinking of putting it on the market. Learn more by visiting here, give her a call at (513) 324-1162 or email her at hdowns@sibcycline.com.
