About the Geology Workshops<\/h3>\n

Tim Agnello, Realtor\u00ae and Engineering Geologist<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

As an active participant in the Greater Cincinnati geology\u00a0community and as a licensed real estate broker, I periodically speak along with Dr. Barry Maynard, about the geology and the real estate issues in the tri-state region. Listed below are\u00a0some of the past workshops and field trips\u00a0we have led or organized. Our workshops can be tailored to your needs whether it is an office setting of professionals or a public outreach program.\u00a0 We\u00a0generally work in the tri-state region of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana but can be retained for other areas of the country.\u00a0\u00a0Our workshops are hands-on and\u00a0and meant to increase awareness and understanding of geologic hazards and the associated devaluation of real estate.\u00a0 Please click here if you wish to contact us\u00a0regarding\u00a0a future workshop.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n
