About Mary "B" Battaglia, GRI, CRS
My name is Mary Battaglia—Mary “B” for short—and I have proudly served as a full-time Austin real estate agent for over 25 years. My services encompass buyer and seller representation for both new and pre-owned homes, corporate relocations, investment assistance, foreclosures, and estate properties.
A Personal Touch
Born in Houston, TX, I grew up with two older brothers who sparked my love for the outdoors and sports. Today, I enjoy family activities, snow skiing, fishing, and traveling. Recently, collecting fine antiques—especially china, crystal, and American collectibles—has become a passionate hobby.
Family plays a central role in my life. Raised by Italian and Czech parents, I cherish the old-world values of home and strong family unity. My husband is also involved in real estate, and we share our pride in our son Shawn, a Texas A&M Mays Business School graduate and award-winning financial advisor with Edward Jones – as you may have imagined, I am a very supportive mom. Our family is completed by an adorably spoiled Shih Tzu named Shadow.
Professional Experience and Expertise
I began my real estate career in Houston before moving to Austin in the early 1980s, where I have worked full-time ever since. My specialization is in residential real estate, and I am an accredited Corporate Relocation Specialist and USAA Certified. My success is built on a professional reputation among peers, consistent communication throughout the sales process, innovative marketing, and staunch client advocacy.
Commitment to Community and Industry
Committed to both my profession and community, I have served on the Texas Association of REALTORS® Grievance Committee for several years and currently serve on the State Professional Standards Committee.
As a member and Committee Chair of the Austin Junior Forum, I volunteer to support women, children, and the elderly in the Austin area. I also actively raise funds for the American Cancer Society and support The Missy Project—a cause dedicated to brain aneurysm awareness, research, and screenings.
Philosophy
“People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care…”
