My family is probably going to be relocating to Columbus in the near future. Any recommendations for realtors and locations in the area?

I know mike personally. Good dude

Colin Kreiger is a friend of mine, also with Remax.

If you have kids, look in the Caledonia area

Growing area, good school, good potential to gain or at least not lose equity. Whatever you do, as much as it pains me to say it, do not buy inside the city limits. Place is run by idiots.

Bob- my office is in Columbus/ and I have been a mortgage guy there for around 10+ years and know the area well.


Mike and his wife are not just agents but also are the Remax brokers in Columbus and do a good job. As far as location, feel free to give me a call tomorrow and I will be glad to help where I can. My office is 662-245-5168.

Plus Mike is a big State fan also.

Patton Whitten. You tell him what you want, he will find it. He's not pushy at all. He will also help you get the lowest price possible.

I wouldn't say Caledonia is a "good school". Lots of bad things floating around there.

 

[patdog]

Your choices are pretty much either there or Heritage Academy aren't they?

I'd like to respond to the white flight answers in this thread. Downtown Columbus is thriving, houses are affordable, restaurants and bars, great community and neighbors, active arts council, Friends of Library group, the Riverwalk is a 4.5 mile running/walking/biking track, soccer complex is downtown, music downtown in the summers, Market Street festival, Tennessee Williams Festival, and so on.

My daughters went to Cook Elementary for a while but are now at Annunciation Catholic School which is top notch.

There is a pretty cool heartbeat in Columbus but you can't feel it in New Hope or Caledonia. And I second Mike Davis or The Rhett group.

This is ridiculous.

 

[Hammer Down]

Great schools disagrees with you. It appears right now if you want public schools in the Golden Triangle area, you need to be in Caledonia or New Hope, then probably Starkville. Hamilton is right over in Monroe County and is alright.

I speak from experience. Sorry if that disagrees with your opinion.

 

[ShrubDog]

Hamilton is not alright. And New Hope is not like it used to be.

 

[patdog]

Downtown Columbus is an awesome area and would be a great place to live, as well as plenty of good, affordable neighborhoods to the north. But I wouldn't send my kids to the city public schools.

 

[Hammer Down]

Not my opinion. GS rates a bunch of metrics. Your experience is the opinion.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Nah. It's just your basic qualitative data versus quantitative data argument.

 

[aTotal360]

I think the argument is over context. "Great" = "best around" is probably what the OP was trying to get across.

 

[Maroonthirteen]

Recently I passed through Columbus for the 1st time in 10 years. I was impressed with what they have done with downtown.

 

[Hammer Down]

I would love for Columbus to thrive, for numerous reasons. I would think the biggest thing going for it right now is the Air Force Base, am I correct? But just like the Starkville, the schools are simply like a wheel lock. It is an either or in my opinion. You either abolish all the private schools (therefore hopefully raising the grade on the public), or you embrace the private schools and be done with it.

 

[thunderclap]

Not my opinion. GS rates a bunch of metrics. Your experience is the opinion.

Wow.

 

[MSCub]

Gina Rhett is great, as is Patton Whitten. If you're inside the city or north Columbus, Gina does more there. Caledonia, New Hope area, Patton does more there. Either will do a great job regardless.

 

[Hammer Down]

Wow.

Wow Just Wow, right?

My mom has a house for sale in Columbus. House sits on 30 acres (alot of it woods, so don't think 30 acre yard) with a pool. Great place to live, esp if you have kids. PM me for info.

Realtors

The 3 realtors mentioned. Mike, Patton, and Gina are all top notch realtors. I work with each of them often. You would not go wrong using any of them. They take care of business to be sure.

 

[thunderclap]

Wow Just Wow, right?

I am not arguing with your statistics. I was stating that our experience with the city schools was average to above average. If you make every single decision you make according to statistics then good for you. I was letting the gentleman who started this thread know what my experience was with the city schools. Christ almighty, it is not unheard of for somebody to have a good experience with the Columbus city schools compared to those bastions of culture you are referencing.

First this:

Followed by this:

My daughters went to Cook Elementary for a while but are now at Annunciation Catholic School which is top notch.

Did you think about that before you typed it?

 

[Hammer Down]

Why did you pull your kids out of Columbus public schools?

Cannot say enough good things about Cherry.

She's a great Bulldog, and has helped my family buy and sell several houses in the Columbus area.

Even though I live in Indiana, she is always willing to help me during my buying and selling experiences.

Recently I passed through Columbus for the 1st time in 10 years. I was impressed with what they have done with downtown.

Moved in last July. I now bought a house on 4th St S. Downtown has been a great place to live so far. Basically the neighborhood is great, surrounding businesses are thriving, and you are walking distance to all the great events. It may just be me, but living in a great neighborhood with cool neighbors was my goal. Wouldn't go back and change my decision at all.

I used Caldwell Banker West Realty as my realtor. Phillis Enis was our agent. She hooked us up with everything we needed because she knows everyone in town. She led us to three different insurance agents, got us in touch with different head people at banks to get quotes on our loan and everything. She even sent us a packet reminding us to file for homestead. i would recommend her to anyone.

 

[patdog]

You live in a great place. Used to love going for walks or runs all through the first 6 or so blocks south of downtown back when I used to travel to Columbus a lot. Lots of beautiful old houses there. And, as you say, within easy walking distance of a lot of nice restaurants and bars.

 

[titus.sixpack]

You can't go wrong with Phyllis. You can trust her recommendations regarding areas to live and schools. Plus, she and her husband, Bill, are huge Bulldog fans.

Bob, were you asked to leave paradise due to your exploits at the Waffle House?
