Straight talk before you send this
- Who reads this
- Your request goes to the CREN team. A person here reads it and contacts you. We do not sell contact lists.
- Whose homes you may see
- This site is published by Columbus Real Estate News LLC, and the same owners own Columbus rental property. If a home we own or manage fits what you asked for, we will tell you it is ours.
- How we get paid
- Renters pay us nothing. If a landlord, property manager, or partner ever pays us for sending a renter their way, we will say so right here before we pass your request along.
