Mary Catherine was fantastic to work with! She was extremely patient with us as we spent over a year looking for a house, and ultimately found an off market listing that was perfect for us. We've already recommended her to our friends and would love to work with her again.
My fiancée and I decided to purchase an investment property here in Austin. I'm a designer and builder, so we were looking for a house that we could remodel and add on to ourselves. Well, I quickly discovered that the market for this type of house is pretty well picked over. Mary Catherine and I looked at all kinds of places. And to my surprise, we actually had a lot of fun looking at all of these properties. Sometimes we walked in the front door and straight out the back, and others we walked around for 30 minutes trying to decide how to reconfigure the floor plan. We finally found a "coming soon" property that was the perfect fit. Mary Catherine arranged a viewing before the property went on the market, and then miraculously was able to convince the seller to accept our offer without even listing the property! As a first-time buyer, I was pretty clueless as to the path through the option period, but Mary Catherine was incredibly helpful and supportive in guiding us through the process. Can't recommend Mary Catherine enough!
We loved working with Mary Catherine! We moved from San Francisco and didn't know much about the Austin market. MC recommended a few neighborhoods that we hadn't initially Considered and we ended up falling in love with each of them. We looked at a significant number of houses before finding our home And Mary Catherine could not have been more knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. She was so flexible and accommodating and provided fantastic vendor recommendations throughout the home buying process. We are both so glad we went with Mary Catherine and would highly recommend her.
If you're looking for a residential real estate agent, contact Mary Catherine Woodward. In my experience, she is good at marketing, good at negotiating, good at being patient, good at handling details, and good at being good company through this often trying experience.
Mary Catherine surpassed all of our expectations as our realtor when we sold our house. She consistently provided sound, unbiased advice and guidance. She was always a joy to work with, while maintaining an impressive level of professionalism. Not only did she make the entire process as easy as could be for usgoing above and beyond-but we came out of our contract in better shape than we ever expected. She is a master at navigating the housing market, and I would work with her again in a heartbeat.
A little over a year after buying a house Mary Catherine helped us find in central Austin, we realized the house was too big for us at this stage in our lives and decided to downsize again. We asked Mary Catherine to represent us in the sale, and she energetically and expertly helped us to get multiple offers at ask within days of listing it. She gave us very good advice, worked well with the buyers' brokers and was very effective in smoothing the few bumps we encountered on the way to closing one month after listing. We recommend her highly and are most grateful for her good cheer, expertise and deep knowledge of the market and the process.
My fiance and I decided to buy a house in Austin remotely from Houston, and we couldn't have done it without Mary Catherine. She eagerly toured houses for us, sending us pictures and videos, provided us insight into neighborhoods, and kept us in mind when great finds came up. She also gave us great advice, guiding us through a crazy Austin market, worked hard to help us have a competitive offer, and helped us get our house on our second offer. Mary Catherine was very thoughtful, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. We cannot recommend working with Mary Catherine enough.
Purchasing a home in Austin is tricky, there is so much demand and so little inventory, that moving quickly and aggressively is a must. Mary Catherine knows the Austin market extremely well and is on top of her game. We purchased a home in Central Austin in January of 2018 in
a neighborhood where most houses on the market end in bidding wars. Not only was Mary Catherine able to get our offer accepted at lightning speed, she was even able to negotiate a below ask price (which is almost unheard of in Austin). I plan to use her as my realtor for any future real estate transactions and I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home in Austin.
Working with Mary Catherine was a fantastic experience. She guided us through what to expect when selling our house in the fast-changing Austin market and helped us get top dollar. Our house sold in just a few days with several offers. I would recommend Mary Catherine for anyone looking to buy or sell their house in Austin, she is a pleasure to work with and has represented us on both sides of the transaction.
We knew that when we decided to put our Pemberton Heights home on the market that we needed a realtor and brokerage that complemented the elegance and excellence of the historical neighborhood. Mary Catherine was the perfect match and gracefully lead every facet of the sale with meticulous and thoughtful attention to detail, and was able to secure multiple offers and sell our home before putting it on the market. If you are looking for a seamless transaction from initial meeting to post closure, then look no further than Mary Catherine Woodward.
