Yvonne Scheiderer

She has been a licensed Realtor since 1998. Prior to that, she was the administrator of a Substance Abuse Prevention Program that served adults whose children were enrolled in the Head Start Program. She was later the recipient of an award presented by former Governor George Voinovich for her work in launching the "Getting A Head Start Against Drugs" initiative. Later that same year, she bought her first home and was immediately intrigued by the real estate profession.

The people she meets (literally from all over the world), identifying a need and working toward the solution, the satisfaction in being part of a truly life-changing process, and the many friendships she's made over the years!

She's a helper. She learned that from her mother, but she didn't realize the impact she made on her career until after she passed away at age 57. She had been an activities director in a nursing home (that's what they were called back then) when she was little and she absolutely adored the blessing of spending time listening and learning and enhancing the quality of life for those she served. When she couldn't find a guest speaker or entertainer, she'd wake her dad (who worked the night shift) and have him bring his guitar to her community, and he'd sing and play music (quite often)! She loved making a difference and lightening their spirits.

Her son just graduated with honors from Ohio University with a Bachelor's in Business Administration. He started his career as a data analyst just a few days later. She also has a daughter and a son-in-love. They met at (THE) Ohio State University in 2008 and will celebrate their 7-year wedding anniversary in June. She works for a healthcare advertising agency and her husband is in risk management with a major bank. Everyone currently lives locally (and she loves that so much). She has an 18-pound poodle named Bella and an 85-pound Bernese/Australian Shepherd mix named Elvis.

She is in her 6th year with the APA. She also holds a designation as an SRES (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) and a designation as an ABR (Accredited Buyer Representative). Last month she completed Fair Housing Officer Training. She served on the Realtor/Lawyer Forum through the Cincinnati Area Board of Realtors until 2020. She's also had the great fortune of receiving multiple sales awards over the years. She previously spent time on the air at Cincinnati Association For The Blind and Visually impaired.

She's always up for trying new restaurants, but her favorite food is the Mediterranean. Her favorite drink is coffee.... she means she seriously loves a good coffee!

She has met some of the most incredible people with the most loving hearts through the APA! She loves watching people tirelessly working together for one common goal. For the past several years, she's been on the committee that chooses the APA educational scholarships, and year after year she's in awe of the applications we receive. It's so difficult to choose who receives the scholarship money because there are so, so many heaven-sent angels among us! The people she meets through APA are what she enjoys most about APA!

She started running a few years ago and before she knew it was running half marathons. She has a big birthday this Fall and she's making plans to complete a full marathon... we’ll see how that goes. She's a season ticket holder at The Cincinnati Playhouse In The Park. She comes from a family of 5 active daughters (and a boatload of relatives), so there's rarely a dull moment.
