Columbus MLS
Real Estate Information
Multiple Listing Service (MLS) (also
Multiple Listing System or Multiple Listings Service) is a
database which allows real estate brokers representing sellers
under a listing contract to widely share information about
properties with real estate brokers who may represent potential
buyers or wish to cooperate with a seller's broker in finding a
buyer for the property. The MLS combines the listings of all
available properties in Central Ohio
that are represented by brokers who are both members of
the Columbus Ohio MLS system and of NAR (the
National Association of
Realtors). We are pleased to offer you Free all MLS homes in
the Columbus Ohio MLS and Central Ohio MLS.
The purpose of the MLS is to enable the
efficient distribution of information so that, when a real
estate agent is introduced to a potential home buyer, he/she may
search the MLS system and retrieve information about all homes
for sale in a given area for example Columbus Ohio or a given
price range, whether under a listing contract by that agent's
brokerage or by all participating brokers.
The Columbus MLS system is governed by private entities, and the rules
are set by those entities with no state or federal oversight,
beyond any individual state rules regarding real estate.
Columbus MLS
system set their own rules for membership, access, and sharing
of information, but are subject to nationwide rules laid down by
NAR. An MLS may be owned and operated by a
real estate company, a county or regional real estate Board of
REALTORS or Association of REALTORS, or by a trade association.
Membership of the MLS is generally considered to be essential to
the practice of real estate brokerage. The Columbus and Central
Ohio MLS is a subsidiary of the
Columbus Board of REALTORS® (CBR).
Policies on sharing MLS
Real Estate data
The National Association of Realtors
(NAR) has set policies that permit brokers to show limited MLS
information on their websites under a system known as IDX or
Internet Data Exchange. NAR has an ownership interest in
Homestore, the company which operates a website that has been
given exclusive rights to display significant MLS information.
The site is Realtor.com.
Using IDX search tools available on most real estate brokers'
websites (as well as on many individual agents' sites),
potential buyers may view homes available on the market, using
search features such as location, type of property (single
family homes, lease, vacant land, duplex), property features
(number of bedrooms and bathrooms), and price ranges. In some
instances photos can be viewed. Many allow for saving search
criteria and for daily email updates of newly-available
properties. However, if a potential buyer finds a property,
he/she will still need to contact the listing agent (or their
own agent) to view the house and make an offer.

Pataskala Ohio History
The first settler to the area which was to become
known as Pataskala was David Heron, who was living here in 1805
when Richard Conine and his wife Sarah visited the area. Richard
Conine, who was to become known as the "Father of Pataskala",
liked what he saw, and when he returned home to New Jersey, he
arranged to purchase 2,000 acres of land here.
He returned to this area in 1821 to live and built the first
grist mill in the area at the south end of town, and prior to
1850, platted a village which he called Conine. However, by the
end of 1850, he had sold most of his land, much of it to Jess
Stoneman Green, and it was Green who actually put the village of
Pataskala on the map. Green laid out lots and sold them, built
buildings for businesses, and donated land for schools and
churches.
In 1851, the village of Pataskala received its first Post
Office, and controversy grew over the name of "Conine" until
finally the name "Pataskala", which is an Indian word meaning
Licking, was decided upon and from that point Pataskala
continued to grow until it was finally incorporated in 1891.
In 1994 Lima Township and the Village of Pataskala voters agreed
to establish a merger commission to research a possible merger. In
1995, the citizens voted unanimously to accept the merger
proposal, and as of January 19, 1997, the Secretary of State
declared Pataskala to be of city status.
The City of Pataskala encompasses 39 square miles of
territory. Its boundaries begin at the Franklin/ Licking County
lines on the west and extend to past Watkins road on the east. The
northern boundary is south of CR. 25, Morse Road, and Jersey
Township.
Pataskala's future looks economically
sound. We proudly welcome you to one of Ohio's fastest growing
communities which is striving to retain its rural flavor.

Pickerington Ohio History
The first settlers in the attractive, growing
community that is now Pickerington, arrived in the area in 1808.
In 1815, Abraham Pickering laid out the original plat of old
Pickerington. One hundred fifty years later relatively few people
lived in the area, and Pickerington slumbered as an agricultural
and dairy community, seemingly distant from both the county seat,
Lancaster, and the state capital, Columbus. The growth and
prosperity since 1965 have forever changed Pickerington from an
old country village to a major city in northwest Fairfield
County. Equidistant between Lancaster and Columbus, today’s
Pickerington is both a Columbus suburban community and a
transition zone leading to agricultural and open spaces to the
east and southeast.
The City’s population as estimated by the Mid Ohio Regional
Planning Commission (MORPC) for 2004 was 12,159. The
unincorporated Violet Township estimated population (excluding
Pickerington and Columbus) was approximately 18,200. As a result
of reaching an official population of over 5,000 persons,
Pickerington was certified as a city by the Ohio Secretary of
State in 1991. Pickerington is the second largest city in
Fairfield County and is second in size only to Lancaster. An
official Pickerington seal, designed by local resident Nancy
Brackbill, was adopted in 1989 and gradually replaced other
symbols as the official Pickerington identification. The
seal appears on the cover of the Annual Report and Annual Budget,
identifies city vehicles, and is used on all City correspondence
and publications. In 1996 the City was designated as by the
Ohio Legislature as the “Violet Capital of Ohio.”
The Municipal
Charter, which was enacted in 1980, set up a Mayor-Council-Manager
form of government. The Charter was amended by the voters in
1990, and again in 2000 The Mayor is elected by popular
vote, performs ceremonial functions, recommends appointment of and
acts as supervisor of, the City Manager, is presiding officer of
Council, is an ex-officio member of all Council Committees,
appoints the Clerk of Court, may veto Council-passed legislation.
The popularly elected seven member City Council is the legislative
body and possesses exclusive appropriations powers. Council
appoints the Law Director, Finance Director, City Engineer, and
concurs on the Mayor’s appointment of the City Manager.
Council also makes citizen appointments to several boards and
commissions. There are four standing Council Committees
which Council appoints: Finance, Rules, Safety, and Service.
Pickerington City Manager is the chief administrator of the City,
is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the municipality
and municipal employees and appoints all employees not appointed
by Council.

Erie Canal, completed through Canal Winchester 1831, identified
Canal Winchester as a strategic location for the business of that
era.

Westerville Ohio History
Westerville Ohio is a community with a rich
history and heritage. In the more than 175 years since the first
settlers arrived, the people of Westerville have worked hard to
make it a place of which they could be proud. On June 24, 1806,
Edward Phelps and his family set out for Ohio from Windsor,
Connecticut. He had purchased 500 acres of land along Alum Creek.
The journey lasted two months and they arrived on August 22, 1806.
The area was wild and densely wooded but the promise was
there...rich soil and a plentiful water supply. They cleared the
land and built a cabin. Soon, others joined these first settlers,
including the Wetervelt brothers who arrived in 1816 from New York
State. Land was donated by the Westervelt family for a new school,
called the Blendon Young Men's Seminary. In 1840, when a name for
the new post office was needed, the townspeople called it
"Westerville" in honor of the Westervelt's generosity. The Blendon
Seminary was short lived and in 1846 its land and two small
buildings were acquired by the United Brethren Church, and
Otterbein University (now Otterbein College) was opened in 1847.
The new school, named after the church founder, enrolled men and
women regardless of race and prefaced Westerville's involvement in
the emerging anti-slavery movement.
One of Otterbein's best known
students was Benjamin Hanby. He composed more than 70 songs in the
pre-civil war era, including, Darling Nelly Gray and Up On The
Housetop. His father, Bishop William Hanby, was an active
participant in the underground railroad of which Westerville was
an important stop. The village was incorporated in 1858 and later
that year a law was passed that banned the use or sale of
"fermented spirits." And, Westerville's long and lively temperance
history was begun.
The first railroad train from Columbus arrived
in 1873. What had been a 4 or 5 hour trip, was now a 45 minute
ride. An electric street car system linking Westerville to
Columbus ran up the middle of State Street. In 1990 the
headquarters of the Anti-Saloon League was moved from Washington
D.C. to Westerville. The temperance heritage had not been
overlooked. As the national headquarters of the Anti-Saloon
League, Westerville became known as the "Dry Capital of the
World." It was the smallest town in the U.S. with a first class
post office, due to the large volume of printing and promotional
material produced by the League.
In 1920 "Prohibition" was voted in and the world went dry along
with Westerville. The Anti-Saloon League had won with "the noble
experiment." The "roaring twenties" saw Westerville prosper. The
population had grown to 2500 and the 3-C highway was completed
through town and beyond. Kilgore Manufacturing Company had over
175 employees and was the world's largest producer of children's
play guns and caps. Then came the
crash.
The 18th amendment was repealed in 1933, a bitter disappointment
to the Anti-Saloon League. Although the world was wet again,
Westerville remained dry—true to the temperance tradition. The
depression gradually faded into the ominous clouds of World War
II. Again Westerville geared up for war. Kilgore Manufacturing
started producing hand grenades, flares and land mines and
employment doubled. Gasoline and food were rationed, Red Cross
stations were set up and air raid wardens trained. Westerville men
gave their lives in Europe and the Pacific.
After World War II, Westerville grew quickly.
Many new homes were built, municipal services were expanded to
meet the demand and the interstate highway system reached
Westerville. In 1960, Westerville became a city. The public
schools expanded with increased enrollment. Industrial parks and
shopping centers were developed. Otterbein College grew to
almost a thousand students and offered a broader curriculum.
Today Westerville reflects the American spirit.
It has shared its moments of pride and sorrow with the nation.
It has lived through joy and sadness. It is a small town. It is
a good place to live.

Bexley Ohio History
As the Roman Empire was reaching its zenith in
the 2nd century BC, an advanced Native American culture was
leaving its mark on the land that would eventually become Bexley
in the form of an Adena burial mound along Alum Creek.
Two millennia later, this historic Adena
community was propelled into the modern era with the 1833
opening of the National Road, now Main Street, which connected
Zanesville with Columbus. Some 19 years after that, the Turnpike
Plank Road, now Broad Street, opened. Farmlands dominated the
area. There was a small, one-room schoolhouse built in 1864 at
the corner of College and Livingston, and then in 1875 a second
schoolhouse was built on Pleasant Ridge.
Urbanization began in 1876 when Capital University moved from
the Goodale Park area to its present location in Bexley.
Professors and their families soon began to move east, build
homes, and enroll their children in the Pleasant Ridge School.
For the next twenty years, this small community
remained relatively unchanged. Then, in 1898, with the outbreak
of the Spanish-American War, the region became a part of
military history. The area around Broad and Drexel was chosen by
Governor Asa Bushnell as the assembly site for three weeks for
the eight thousand Ohio volunteers headed for Cuba. The extended
sewer and water lines for the soldiers at Camp Bushnell made the
area ripe for real estate development. Improved
turn-of-the-century trolley and car travel increased the number
of those interested in living east of Alum Creek in what would
become the Village of Bexley.
