Buying a Home
I don't just show you listings — I help you see what's behind them. Market timing, neighborhood trajectory, inspection red flags, and negotiation strategy all come into play before you ever write an offer.

Your Home,
My Responsibility.
Real estate isn't just transactions — it's the foundation of people's lives. I treat every listing, every buyer, and every neighborhood with the care it deserves.

About Jack Roush
A Columbia Native Who Knows Every Block
Born and raised in Columbia, I've watched this city transform — from the quiet college-town charm of W Broadway to the thriving community it is today. I know which streets have the best shade trees, which neighborhoods are quietly appreciating, and where the next opportunity is hiding.
At Heartland Network, I've built a reputation on showing up, doing the homework, and never pretending to know something I don't. Real estate is too important for shortcuts.

What I Do
Full-Spectrum Real Estate
Representation
Whether you're making your first offer or your tenth sale, I provide the same level of attention and expertise. No tiered service — just honest, thorough representation.
Selling Your Home
From pricing strategy that respects your equity to staging advice that makes rooms feel larger, I handle every detail. Professional photography, market positioning, and offer negotiation — all coordinated under one roof.
Investment Properties
Columbia's rental market runs on the university. I understand cap rates, occupancy cycles, and which corridors are worth your capital. Whether it's a duplex or a multi-unit build, I bring the numbers to the table.
Relocation Support
Moving to Columbia? I'll map out neighborhoods, school districts, commute routes, and the kind of local details that don't show up on a spreadsheet. Your transition should feel like coming home, not starting over.
Local Market Expertise
W Broadway to downtown, Hilltop to Five Points — I know Columbia's micro-markets. When to list, when to wait, which streets are undervalued. This isn't textbook knowledge; it's lived-in, block-by-block familiarity.
Client Advocacy
I represent you — not the other side, not the listing agent, not the transaction coordinator. When you need someone to push back on a repair request or challenge an appraisal gap, I'm the one who picks up the phone.
The Columbia Difference
A City That Grows
Without Losing Itself
Columbia has something rare: a community that values its character even as it expands. The Walk of Fame on W Broadway, the farmers market on the square, neighborhoods where kids still ride bikes — these aren't just amenities, they're the reason people choose to stay.
Whether you're drawn to the brick homes near campus or the newer builds just west of town, Columbia offers room to grow without the compromises you'd find in larger metros. And I'm here to help you find exactly where that fits your life.

What People Say
Jack made what could have been a stressful process feel completely manageable. He knew exactly when to push and when to wait, and we got our home below asking price. That doesn't happen without someone in your corner.
We relocated from Chicago and had zero context for Columbia's neighborhoods. Jack didn't just send us listings — he mapped out our commute, school zones, and even the best grocery stores. We felt like locals from day one.
I've bought and sold four properties in Columbia over the years, and Jack is the only agent I've returned to twice. He remembers details, follows up without being reminded, and treats your equity like it's his own.
