Mary was born in Houston, Texas and 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. Collecting antiques has become a serious hobby over the last few years, where she has become most interested in 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 unit. That was fortunate, because her husband is also involved in real estate, and their son, Shawn grew up enjoying sports and traveling. Shawn is a graduate of the Mays School of Business at Texas AM University and is a Financial Advisor with Edward Jones here in the Austin area. As you might imagine, Mary is a very proud and supportive Mom. An extremely spoiled Shih Tzu named Shadow rounds out the family.

Mary started her real estate career at 23 years of age. She started her career in her hometown Houston. She continued in real estate after she moved to Austin making Austin her home of 30+ years. From the time she began in real estate, she has been a full-time agent. Mary specializes in residential real estate and is an accredited Corporate Relocation Specialist. 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 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. Mary also raises funds for the American Cancer Society, and she 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.

_{Testimonials:}

Mary Battaglia provided excellent service. My situation was a City of Austin buyout and she took the time to educate herself on that process. She came to meetings with the City of Austin staff and was completely involved. Communication and response were excellent. Marby Battaglia is second to none. Mary went over and above to work with me to find a house. It took over a year. Also, she sent out letters to select homeowners inquiring if they wanted to sell their home. It as a very unique situation as I wanted to stay in my neighborhood so the available properties were limited.
