Cover Story
Cincinnati Cyclones: Fun for everyone (including the kids) at Heritage Bank Center!
W
hen you think of sports in Cincinnati, you think the Reds, the Bengals, even the UC Bearcats. But did you know we have a hockey team too? Our Cincinnati Cyclones are a top-notch team and a game is the perfect evening out for the whole family! Since 1990, the Cincinnati Cyclones have been playing hockey all over the country and in Canada; they are the AA team of the National Predators. Eighteen of their players have gone on to play for the NHL, which makes our Cyclones a hotbed of talent that’s exciting to watch. Coming to a game at the Heritage Bank Center is more than just a hockey experience: it’s the complete package of great fun, great food and great times. There’s music, promotions and fun half-time activities (think hamster balls and sumo suits!), so even if you aren’t a hockey fan, there’s plenty to enjoy. Games always have a fun theme, such as Superheroes, Star Wars and Nickelodeon Character nights, and promotions include $1 beer night, $1 hot dog night, kids eat free and more. Special fundraising nights
are featured as well, along with Military Appreciation Nights. There are also cancer awareness nights that mix philanthropy and fun. The atmosphere at a Cyclones game is always charged up with excitement and exuberance. On February 1, the Cyclones will present the Frozen 5K &10K, a unique winter race that takes you on a course along the Banks of the Ohio River and through Cincinnati’s Transit Center underneath Second Street! Join Twister, Puckchop, and thousands of other brave souls as we achieve our New Years resolutions and support the Cincinnati Cyclones Foundation in the process! A Cyclones game is also a great place to celebrate birthdays! Check out their package options at www. cycloneshockey.com. When you want more than just a sports experience on a night out – when you’re looking for sports, fun, music, food and an atmosphere of excitement – come to a Cincinnati Cyclones game at the Heritage Bank Center. 7 KEYCINCINNATI.COM

As the leader of a band of rebellious youngsters, The Syndicates, Lei is the keeper of a precious talisman. Giving strength and courage to whoever possesses its light, the Shining Star is coveted by Vi, a supervillain supported by his gang, The Corporation. Vi is focused on just one goal: stealing the legendary talisman’s light!

The pros & cons of listing your home in the winter
D
espite homes being covered in snow and icy roads galore, winter is a great time to sell your home! Or is it? Just like with any season, there are pros and cons to selling your home. If you’ve been contemplating whether you should list your home now or wait until the snow melts away, we made a list of everything you should take into consideration. PROS 1. Buyers mean business While more buyers are looking in the spring and summer, there are more serious buyers in the winter season. If someone is making time to visit open houses and showings during the busiest time of the year (and the coldest time of the year) they are more likely to be serious about their search. 2. Less competition Most people will wait until spring to list their home. This means the housing inventory is much lower in the winter, leaving less competition for sellers. 3. Online house hunting is year-round As Dave Ramsey says, “the internet has no seasons.” Since most people would rather be cozied up on the couch in the winter, making sure your home has a good online presence is very important. Most buyers will start their search online before in person. In fact, 93% of people use the internet in their home search, according to NAR. 4. More time off = more time for buying You might think that being the busiest time of the year that people would be too busy to stop by and look at your house. But, people tend to take more time off work around the holidays leaving more time to search for their new home. The three-day weekends in January are also popular weekends for open houses and showings. CONS 1. Curb appeal is limited When the sun sets at 4 PM and your beautiful lawn is covered by snow, it’s a lot harder to show off your home’s exterior. Although you can add some festive decor like a wreath to your door, you can’t show off any of the hard work you’ve put into your curb appeal. 2. Buyers have limited budgets As we wrap up the end of the year, a lot of
12 KEYCINCINNATI.COM
Scott Oyler, Founder, The Oyler Group 513-623-1351 • scott@oylergroup.com people are tied up with other financial obligations such as holiday gifts and traveling, paying taxes, and making sure their own houses and vehicles are winter-ready. This may cause a lot of buyers to not want to invest in a home at this time of year. 3. Fewer offers for less Sellers tend to find themselves with multiple offers in spring and summer when buyers have more competition and need to be quick to make offers. In the winter, it’s less likely that sellers will have multiple offers. Buyers may even think that winter sellers are desperate for any offer at all, causing them to lowball their offers. 4. “Show-ready” means more effort You know that one friend who always makes you take your shoes off before walking through the house? Well, you may find yourself being that person now… To keep your home show-ready during the winter, you’ll need to minimize the amount of snow and slush people bring through the door and will need to keep up with putting away the wrapping paper and holiday prepping that you’re doing yourself. You’ll also end up plowing the driveway and sidewalks for visitors more often. Whether you’re ready to brave it out in the snow and sell or snuggle up until spring and wait, we’ll be here when you’re ready.

TruSculpt 3D See the Results!
TruSculpt 3D is an innovative RF (Radio Frequency) device that gives the skin deep heat. This causes the fat cells to die, thus creating a non-invasive fat reduction, body sculpting/contouring treatment. The process can temporally reduce the appearance of cellulite. It is designed to treat almost any area of the body. Typical areas include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, buttocks, arms and other stubborn regions where fat lingers. TruSculpt 3D is comfortable and requires no anesthetic. It is virtually pain free. Most patients describe the treatment as a hot stone massage and others report almost no sensation of heat at all. During a typical treatment, a small hand piece releases radiofrequency energy. This is placed over the targeted area and a small surrounding area. The energy causes fat cells to heat up and programs them to liquefy and be removed through the lymphatics after dying. The energy released from the heat from the TruSculpt 3D also causes skin contraction for a slimming and smoothing effect on the skin. There is no downtime with this treatment, allowing immediate return to normal activity. Patients see significant improvement approximately 8 weeks following one TruSculpt 3D treatment and full results up to 3 months after. Additional sessions may be required to obtain desired results if more than usual results are expected.
Now offering TruSculpt 3D. Non-invasive fat reduction. *GUARANTEED results.
