Mary Jane Moran - Testimonials

See all of Mary Jane's video testimonials here.

Mary Jane has been so great! She and her team are smart, honest, work hard and are just solid. Even after the closing on the condo, Mary Jane saw to it that the questionable details (we had a minor storage issue) were square. It's great to be able to rely on the person you're working with. Sometimes you take a leap of faith in these dealings, but she makes you feel secure through the process. She's very reachable, responsive, and you feel she's listening and is straight with you when you're working with her. Yes, I'm happy things went as smoothly as they did, and I know Mary Jane's energy and open communication had much to do with that.

Mary Jane assisted us with our relocation to the US while we were living in Mexico. There was no obstacle which she couldn't overcome and her service was first rate. When we visited the Austin area she showed us homes which were in keeping with our expressed needs and when we returned to Mexico she provided us with videos of homes which she thought might interest us. Despite this long distance relationship over a period of months, Mary Jane found the perfect house for us and we are now contented residents of Lakeway,TX.

My wife and I recently moved to Austin from out of state and were referred to Mary Jane by an acquaintance. Working with Mary Jane was a great experience and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in the Austin area. So now for the specifics.

During our first conversation, Mary Jane took the time to really understand what it was we were looking for both in our new home and in our new community. When it was all said and done, we ended up with something different, but more on that later.

Shortly after our conversation, Mary Jane sent me a number of MLS listings to review and discuss with her. In looking at them, I could tell that she had spent a good deal of time thinking about our needs and really tailoring the search to fit our criteria.

Mary Jane was able and willing to dedicate the time needed to help us find a house. In the very rare case that she was not available, she had her assistant available to show us properties.

Mary Jane is very knowledgeable about Austin. Over the course of our almost five month search we looked in Tarrytown, Central Austin, South Austin, Eanes, Northwest Hills, Circle-C and points farther southwest. She could provide us a depth of information about all of these areas - not just the housing that was available, but also information about commute times, schools, the "personality" of the areas, local resources and shopping, etc. All of this was very helpful for us as we had little familiarity with Austin.

Mary Jane was willing to do whatever she needed to help us find a house, whether it was contacting builders for information on upcoming inventory or arranging showings at FSBO properties.

She paid attention to our likes and dislikes throughout our searches and used that information to guide our search.

When it became clear that we were going to have a hard time finding what we wanted in our initial search area, she was able to think out of the box and help us identify other areas of town that would meet our needs. We ended up in a part of town that we would never have initially considered and after almost a month of living here we love it.

She was willing to offer her opinion, both personally and professionally (which I really appreciated), but never pushed.

Throughout it all she was cheerful, optimistic, professional, and a pleasure to work with. William M., 2011

We were so lucky to find Mary Jane, who worked her well-dressed pants off for us both when we were buying, and when we were selling. But what makes her so different is that she is able to represent everyone. Mary Jane has the rare qualification of being a mediator - acting on behalf of both buyer and seller. Thus, she knows how to read people, has an awesome marketing plan, and gets to know you and your neighborhood as if you were her only client and friend. You just have to meet her to believe one agent can be that talented.

Mary Jane sold my house last year, in the "bad economy." And, it wasn't even on the market! She had a buyer who liked the subdivision we lived in and she asked to show our home to give them an idea of some of the upgrades we did. The buyers loved our home and wanted to make an offer. Mary Jane asked if we would consider an offer and so, we did. She was an expert negotiator and we sold the home for what we needed to sell for, and the buyers love their new place! I still hear from them about how happy they are with their purchase. A great outcome for us all! I could recommend Mary Jane to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home in Austin.

Amie N., 2010

Love, love, love Mary Jane. I've bought and sold a couple of houses with her, and she's top notch. Mary Jane helped me negotiate a creative deal on the last house that I bought, and helped me get the highest list and sales price on my previous house. We priced it aggressively high, and her marketing efforts got me a sale in 4 hours.

David and I met Mary Jane during an Open House on Threadgill Street. Lucky for us! We knew Mary Jane as the mother of our son’s classmate. Getting to know her as a realtor was a great experience. Mary Jane was a pleasure to work with and thanks to her expertise and good nature, we now own a lovely home in the Mueller neighborhood.

Dave and Anne Wermer, September 2011

She is a pleasure to work with, has a deep knowledge of the local market and has an unmatched degree of professionalism. Two years ago she sold my home in nine days in a difficult down market when nothing was moving . This year she facilitated a protracted 3 month close, resolving complex legal & title issues while in constant communication with all parties. She has a great way of keep¬ing everyone at ease while getting them to match her around- the- clock work ethic. Kristy and her other support staff at Moreland are equally efficient and always accessible. I would highly recom¬mend Mary Jane Moran and would use her services again repeatedly.

Lawson Brice

Mary Jane was awesome. From the immediate returned call from a “call for more info

sign until the sale. Even after closing she followed up with everything she said she would. She was fast, pro¬fessional, and always knowledgeable about what was happening. She always kept me calm and in the loop every step of the way.

Mary Jane, thanks again for all your help and patience in my homebuying process. It is easy to see why you are so well-liked and respected. You made purchasing a place fun, painless, and hopefully I also made a new friend. You are the best!

Steven Blewett

Mary Jane, thank you for helping us find a wonderful new home, and for saving us many thou¬sands of dollars in the process. We really appreciate your attentive listening, thoughtful guidance, responsiveness, follow through and attention to detail. Your knowledge of the greater Austin area was extremely helpful to us not only in the home search and buying process, but in the entire relocation process. We look forward to your continued friendship and the spirit of Austin you embody.

Poul & Linda Nielsen

Mary Jane is simply the best from top to bottom! She has earned our friendship, trust, and business forever!

Mary Jane Moran is a consummate real estate professional whose patience and tenacity are a great virtue to her clients. On our latest sale, Mary Jane garnered a full price offer in four hours! She not only spent a year and a half helping us find the perfect house, but she also helped negotiate a good price in a very tight central Austin. Mary Jane makes buying and selling a house a breeze. After many wonderful experiences with her over the past five years, we are more than confident recommending her to anyone!

Amy Johnson Brotman

Thank you, Mary Jane! First, in 2003, she helped us sell our house when the market conditions were very difficult. Her persistence and hard work paid off, and were very much appreciated. Sec¬ond, she helped us find a house in 2005 that we really liked and helped us through every stage of the purchase process. Her help was particularly important as we were out of the state more of the time. For all of her help, we are very grateful. We have worked with many realtors and Mary Jane is the best!

Nicholas and Dana Chotiros

Mary Jane helped simplify the home buying process for my husband and I who were searching for our first home. Throughout the process she had the information and advice that we needed to make sound decisions.

Mary Jane is the consumate professional. Always well-versed in the intricate details of the current real estate market, I have watched Mary Jane layout presentations with passion, discretion, and necessary simplicity.

Along with my thoughts, The city of Austin thinks Mary Jane is wonderful as well: One of Austin Business Journal's "Top Producers of 2009", Austin's "Elite 25" member, and Top producer for Moreland properties for 3 years in a row.

When you are considering purchasing or selling Real Estate in Austin, make sure Mary Jane is at the top of your list of Realtors!
