Meet Tibitha
For more than two decades, Tibitha Matheney has been the REALTOR® people turn to when the decision is important, the details matter and they want experienced representation from beginning to end.
A lifelong Mahoning Valley resident and full-time REALTOR® since 2003, Tibitha has built a reputation for strong results, steady guidance and personal service. She is nearing 2,000 career home sales and has represented buyers and sellers throughout the Mahoning Valley and Northeast Ohio in virtually every kind of residential real estate transaction—from first-time purchases and investment properties to longtime family homes, distinctive residences and luxury estates.
Based in the Mahoning Valley, Tibitha represents buyers and sellers throughout Northeast Ohio, with extensive experience across Mahoning, Trumbull and Columbiana Counties and the surrounding communities. Her work includes seller and buyer representation, luxury real estate, relocation, investment properties, first-time homebuyers, downsizing and clients navigating major life transitions.
Tibitha understands that no two clients, homes or transactions are alike. She listens carefully, studies the market and develops a clear plan based on what her clients need to accomplish. For sellers, that means a strategic approach to preparing, positioning, pricing, marketing and negotiating their property. For buyers, it means experienced guidance in evaluating opportunities, understanding the market and negotiating from a position of knowledge. Whatever the price point, Tibitha brings the same level of preparation, attention and commitment to the work.
Her experience is especially valuable when a transaction becomes complicated. After thousands of negotiations, inspections, appraisals and closings, Tibitha knows how to recognize potential issues, anticipate what comes next and keep the process moving. She is a strong negotiator who protects her clients’ interests while communicating honestly and directly throughout the transaction.
That consistency has defined her career. After being named Rookie of the Year in 2004, Tibitha became a top producer in 2006 and has remained one ever since. She has earned repeated top individual-agent honors with CENTURY 21 Lakeside Realty, multiple top individual-agent rankings among CENTURY 21 professionals throughout Ohio, national recognition among the Top 50 CENTURY 21 individual agents and multiple CENTURION® Producer awards.
Her clients also benefit from the breadth of her experience. As a Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®), Tibitha has specialized training to help clients and families navigate downsizing, selling a longtime home, relocating or making a move connected to changing family needs. She understands that these decisions often carry both personal and financial weight and approaches them with patience, discretion and respect.
Tibitha works with buyers and sellers at every stage of the market. A first-time buyer receives the same thoughtful guidance and careful representation as the seller of a luxury estate. Investors benefit from her market knowledge and practical experience. Sellers receive a strategy developed around their individual property and goals, while buyers have an advocate who understands both the opportunity and the risk involved in a real estate purchase.
Her reach also extends well beyond Northeast Ohio. Through the Global reach of the CENTURY 21 network and professional relationships developed throughout her career, Tibitha can connect clients with experienced real estate professionals across the United States and internationally. Whether someone is relocating to Northeast Ohio, moving out of the area or helping a family member buy or sell somewhere else, Tibitha can remain a trusted starting point.
Tibitha is also committed to the future of the profession. In addition to serving her clients, she co-owns the Canfield office of CENTURY 21 Lakeside Realty, mentors real estate professionals, served multiple terms on the Youngstown Columbiana Association of Realtors Board and participates in Career Day programs throughout area school districts. She enjoys introducing students to the many opportunities within real estate and showing young people another possible path toward a rewarding lifelong career.
The numbers and awards reflect Tibitha’s success, but her reputation has been built through the people she has served. Many clients return to her for their next move. Families refer their children and parents. Past clients continue to call because they know they will receive honest advice, experienced representation and personal attention—not a one-size-fits-all approach. Tibitha prides herself on relationships built with trust and honesty. Referrals are the highest compliment she could receive.
When you work with Tibitha, you get a seasoned professional who knows the market, understands the responsibility involved and remains personally involved throughout the process. Whether you are purchasing your first home, selling a luxury property, building an investment portfolio, preparing for a major life transition or making a move across the country, Tibitha brings the experience, judgment and commitment to help you move forward with confidence.
