About Mary Ellen

Mary Ellen is a design-minded real estate advisor based in Austin, known for her calm confidence, thoughtful guidance, and lifestyle-first approach. She specializes in modern and character-filled homes across Central Austin’s most walkable neighborhoods, helping clients feel at home not just in a house, but in the life they’re building around it.

Before real estate, Mary Ellen spent over a decade leading talent acquisition for high-growth tech companies, shaping the strategic, organized, and people-centered approach she brings to her work today. Clients value her honest communication, aesthetic intuition, and ability to connect homes with the way people want to live.

Outside of work, you’ll find Mary Ellen styling her home, curating local recommendations for her weekly newsletter, Postmarked, or exploring Austin with friends, family, and her Vizslas, Enzo and Ellie.
