"Working with Mary Emma was awesome. Her dedication to making our listing her top priority was obvious. Between her background as an attorney, eye for design, and her commitment to our goals, listing our home with her was clearly the best choice." - Kate & Lucas B.

"Thanks to Mary Emma, we finally found our forever home before it even hit the market. Without her, we definitely would have missed the opportunity to buy a true unicorn in Pemberton Heights - a traditional home on a cul-de-sac with a panoramic view of the downtown skyline! Mary Emma is hard-working, knowledgeable, connected and collaborative, all of which led to a smooth and swift transaction!!" - Michelle & Robert S.

"From the time of our first meeting until closing, Mary Emma handled the selling of our home with integrity and utmost professionalism. She is well-connected, attentive and courteous, and her sound advice made for a very smooth process. We were so proud to have Mary Emma represent us and highly recommend her to anyone considering a home sale or purchase!" - Ellie & Grant L.

"I’ve known Mary Emma since we were in law school. She’s intelligent, gracious, has a talent for design and consistently demonstrates real estate acumen. When it came time to hire a Realtor, she was an obvious choice. She priced it with precision and marketed it effectively. She communicated during every step of the sale and proactively tended to the details. Sure enough, my house sold pre-MLS in multiple offers and above asking price just as we had strategized." - Denise C.

"I’ve bought many houses, but my Austin search was conducted mostly from out of state. I’m so glad I had Mary Emma to help. She provided me with the listing information on the house I bought before it ever hit the market. She readily dropped everything and rushed to see it. With her advice, I won the house in multiple offers in a highly competitive market. Her willingness to go the extra mile and familiarity with the local process made the purchase possible and very easy." - Alex W.

"Coming from another state, Mary Emma was an invaluable part of our purchase. She educated us on the local market and practices, knowledgeably guided us through many properties’ features and faults, and her background as a lawyer helped make her uniquely informed about the purchase process. In the end, even in an incredibly tight market, we bought the house of our dreams." - Caroline & Tim T.

About Mary Emma
Having grown up in San Antonio, Mary Emma returned to Texas in 2000 to attend The University of Texas School of Law. For the next ten years, she practiced law and developed her career in the legal world. During this time, she became familiar with many neighborhoods of Austin by living in Pemberton Heights, Bryker Woods, Hyde Park, Travis Country, and Westlake Hills. Since 2004, she has owned five personal homes and remodeled three to the studs with great success each time. In fact, the recent sale of her historic Pemberton Heights home garnered record-breaking pricing statistics for the neighborhood. The process was personally rewarding and financially lucrative on every occasion and gave her expertise in understanding a home’s potential and the renovation process.

Mary Emma also ardently fosters a passion for interior design that dates prior to the inception of interior design blogs. This insight has led Mary Emma to serve as a design consultant on various clients’ own home renovations. She has also been retained to help stage houses.

In 2017, once her children entered school five days a week, her passion for homes and their potential fueled Mary Emma to begin her career in real estate. Mary Emma became a licensed REALTOR and initiated her career at one of Austin’s top luxury residential brokerages by assisting the managing broker / owner. Since that start, her direct work on over 40 transactions coupled with her background as an attorney make her uniquely qualified to handle real estate contracts from inception to closing.

Mary Emma currently resides near Mount Bonnell and her children’s schools, Casis Elementary and Good Shepherd Episcopal School. When Mary Emma is not practicing real estate or re-arranging furniture and décor, you can find her spending time with her three spirited young boys, walking their dog, and taking advantage of Austin’s live music and restaurant scene. She also actively supports her children’s schools, the Elizabeth Ann Seton Board, Dell Children’s Council, Good Shepherd, and Friends of the Children.
