Austin Texas Real Estate Agent:
Mary "B" Battaglia (GRI, CRS)
Greetings!
My name is Mary Battaglia - Mary "B" for short - and I have been active in Austin area real estate for 25+ years. My real estate services include buyer and seller representation, corporate relocation, investment assistance, foreclosures, short sales & estates.
Mary's Personal Information:
Mary "B" was born in Houston, Texas. Two older brothers gave her a zest for the outdoors and a love of sports at an early age. Today she enjoys family activities, snow skiing, fishing, and traveling. Additionally, collecting fine antiques has become a serious hobby over the last few years; focusing more on china along with American antiques and collectibles.
Family is an important part of Mary's life. Her Italian and Czech parents gave her an old-world appreciation of home and an active family unity. That was fortunate, because her husband is also involved in real estate. Their son, Shawn, just recently graduated from Mays Business School at Texas A&M University with a degree in Finance. Shawn graduated high school with Honors and loves traveling and sports; especially skiing and fencing. As you might imagine, Mary is a very proud and supportive Mom. A terribly spoiled Shih Tzu named Shadow rounds out the family.
Mary started her real estate career in Houston during 1976 and she continued in real estate after she moved to Austin in 1979. From the time she began in Austin real estate she has been a full time agent. Mary specializes in residential real estate, and is an accredited Corporate Relocation Specialist as well as being USAA Certified. She credits her success to a professional reputation among her peers, consistent communication during the sales process, and aggressive client representation.
Mary is an active supporter of her profession and her community. At the Austin Board of Realtors, she has served for several years on the Grievance Committee and is now serving on the Professional Standards Committee.
As a member of the Austin Junior Forum, she is part of a volunteer effort supporting women, children, and the elderly in the Austin area. In addition to raising funds for the American Cancer Society, Mary is on the Board of Directors for The Missy Project. The Missy Project is an organization dedicated to raising awareness of brain aneurysm disease and generating funds for research and individual screenings.
