It’s Lent. Fish is everywhere. But who actually has the best fish sandwich in Batesville? Not kinda good. I’m talking worth the drive, worth the wait. Where am I going tonight? Winner gets my dinner. #Batesville #BatesvilleIndiana #FishFryFriday #LentSeason #betterknowbatesville
6 years ago I got my real estate license and became a brand new agent. Before that I was teaching at Batesville High School. Didn’t know exactly where real estate would take me — just knew I was all in.…
Monday morning snapshot of the Batesville market. Homes are moving when they’re priced right. When they’re not… they sit. That’s the reality of today’s market — not hype, not headlines, just what’s actually happening right here in town. If you’re…
Batesville has spots that don’t show up on Google rankings… but everybody who’s been here long enough knows. Harmeyer’s isn’t just a grocery store — it’s a staple. The kind of place where the food’s good, the people are better,…
“Nobody ever once said that was my job. But I took on that responsibility.” Some people wait to be told. Some people just step up. Full conversation with Mike Bettice is already live on my page. #BatesvilleIndiana #LocalLeadership #CommunityMatters #BetterKnowBatesville…
40 years in this town. Thousands of keys handed over. Countless stories written. From 1986 to today — Tudor Square hasn’t just sold homes. We’ve helped build Batesville. Every sign. Every closing. Every family that found “home.” Thank you for…
I asked Mike Bettice about the first time he was approached to run for mayor of Batesville. His answer wasn’t what I expected — and honestly, it says a lot about leadership in a small town. Not everyone wants the…
I sat down with former Mayor of Batesville, Mike Bettice, for a real conversation about leadership — especially when it matters most. When COVID hit, Mike was handed responsibilities he never signed up for. Like so many leaders across the…
Batesville doesn’t get better by accident.” Real change doesn’t come from sitting back. It comes from people willing to raise their hand… and stand up. This is just a short moment from a powerful conversation. Full Better Know Batesville interview…
She was one of the first buyers I ever helped when I started my own company, Bring It On Homes Realty. Before Tudor Square. Before any of this. She was also a former student of mine… so the trust runs…
A lot of people in Batesville think they know who’s behind the progress in this town. Some do. Most don’t. Jolene Rockwood has had more impact on this community than I could ever hope to — no matter how many…
What do we get here? #betterknowbatesville #batesvillein #batesvilleindiana
50 years of Cherry Thing-A-Lings and the line says it all. Local tradition. Local love. Get here early. #betterknowbatesville #batesvillein #cherrythingalings #bakery
Most people think arts are “extra.” They’re not. They’re a signal. Of pride. Of investment. Of people who care enough to build something beautiful together. That’s why towns with a real arts presence don’t just look better — they function…
50 years of Cherry Thing-a-Lings. They don’t just show up — they break records every year. Same bakery. Same recipe. Same chaos. If you know, you know. 🍒 #betterknowbatesville #batesvilleindiana
Progress doesn’t come from a single leader or idea. It comes from people showing up, taking responsibility, and lifting where they stand. #BetterKnowBatesville
I sat down with Jolene Rockwood for a full conversation about Batesville — where we’ve been, what’s coming, and why progress only happens when people choose to lift where they stand. No soundbites. No politics. No sales pitch. Just perspective,…
Proof that good editing requires honesty. Bobbie’s job today: tell me to shut up because I talk too much. Trimming the fat on an interview before release. Worth it!
Heard concerns from residents on Merkel Road about engine braking. Made a call. Had a conversation. Explored a simple solution. Most problems don’t need noise. They need communication. #betterknowbatesville
Titles come and go. Responsibility to your town doesn’t. I had the chance to sit down with a former mayor of Batesville, Mike Bettice, for a real conversation — not soundbites, not headlines — about where the city’s been, what…
This is what doesn’t make the reel. Late nights. Quiet focus. Creating something that might never get a thank you — but still gets done. My wife worked on her eLearning lesson last night and again today. I watched her…
Snow on the ground. Clients still need answers. Showings don’t stop — they just get quieter. We’re here. #tudorsquare #Batesville
Kevin jokes aside — this is a solid home in a great Batesville neighborhood. Brick. Space. Location. The kind of house that lives well, not just photographs well. Details in the comments ⬇️
14.3 inches and still showing up. Shoutout to everyone out there clearing driveways, helping neighbors, and making sure Batesville keeps moving.
When the weather shuts everything down… these are the people that quietly turn it back on. Some are city workers. Some are just neighbors with a snowblower and a sense of responsibility. No cameras. No check coming. No expectation of…
Ranked 4th in the state. In Indiana… that means something. If you’ve got a free night coming up, go see this team play live. Packed gym. Loud crowd. Blue and white everywhere. This is one of those seasons people remember.…

For those who like the study guide 📘 A lot of frustration gets aimed at the wrong place. This intersection isn’t controlled by the City of Batesville. It’s managed by INDOT (Seymour District). If you want change, feedback has to…
Every agent’s journey looks different. My job is to help them build the right one. Matthew Lamping — appreciate the honesty and the grind.
Took the kids out for dinner tonight. Missing—but grateful for this moment. Life gets loud. Schedules collide. But sitting still with your people? That’s the good stuff.
Merry Christmas from the Cox family!
Built with purpose. Now we press record.
This isn’t done. It’s not perfect. But it’s finally moving. I realized something: waiting for the right space was just a clean excuse to delay. So we painted it dark. Tore the noise out. And started building something that actually…
Thoughts?
This one was supposed to close in October. Then the government shut down. Timelines stalled. Documents froze. Everyone waited. They stayed patient. They stayed committed. And today — it finally closed. This is what real estate actually looks like. Not…

That’s following. Leaders step into what others avoid—and bring people with them.
This is where decisions get made. Where voices matter. Where community becomes action. Proud to serve this town.
You can’t beat Batesville. Not on nights like this. Snow falling… St. Louis glowing… the old bridge keeping watch. #BatesvilleIN #youcantbeatbatesville
My son played in the middle school gym today… but a few of us couldn’t resist sneaking in to see the real gem. Connersville’s Spartan Bowl. No volleyball lines. No nonsense. Just basketball — the way Indiana intended. #HoosierHysteria #IndianaBasketball
