Thinking about living in Columbia, SC or relocating to the Midlands? In this episode of the Soda Citizen Podcast, we sit down with Jacob from Magnolia Home Inspections to talk about what it’s really like to live here—from real estate and home inspections to neighborhoods, local restaurants, and hidden gems around the city. 

We cover why home inspections matter (even on new construction), the pros and cons of pre-inspections, common issues found in Columbia homes, and what buyers and sellers should know before making a move. Jacob also shares why he left Columbia, why he came back, and what makes this city such a great place to live.
