The Email I Got from a New Professor Moving to Auburn…
“I’m moving from out of state. I’ve never been to Auburn.”
That’s how the email started.
They had no clue where to live—what neighborhoods were welcoming, which areas had good schools, or what kind of traffic chaos they’d face on game day. They were looking for walkability, culture, a good school zone… but didn’t know where to start.
So I helped them figure it out.
We explored Cary Woods, The Preserve, and a few off-the-radar neighborhoods that really fit their lifestyle. They wanted charm and community, and I knew exactly where to look.
But this wasn’t just about finding a house.
They needed someone who knows Auburn—who could explain what living here actually feels like.
I told them about:
• How traffic shifts on football weekends
• Where the best local coffee shops are near campus
• Where tutoring centers are if their kids ever need help
• What to expect from different parts of town (including where to avoid game day gridlock!)
We ended up closing on a home that wasn’t even listed online yet.
That’s the advantage of working with a connected, local REALTOR® who’s been in Auburn since 1988 and gets how to match a lifestyle with a location.
