"We met John via referral from a Realtor in Nashville, where we were moving to. John was very upfront with us the whole way. On the rare occasion of attempting to call him when we got his voicemail, we did not have to wait long for a response. We had many questions, and John was patient and calmly answered each till we were satisfied. John is definitely a “Real Estate Professional.” He provided the right resources for us to focus on selling our home. A great negotiator, he truly represented our interests and suggested things to help us sell our home quickly. We highly recommend John McCarthy and the McLane Realty group as a great resource for buying or selling your home."

"John did an excellent job of selling our Lake Travis (lakefront) lot. He brought multiple offers to us within days of the listing and went through the pros & cons of the terms and amounts. We have bought and sold many properties over the years. We highly recommend John if you are buying or selling Real Estate in the Austin, TX area."

"Mary is as intelligent as she is fun to work with. It’s not easy to find a realtor who genuinely looks out for your interests as if they were her own. As a first-time homeowner, if I had to do it all over, I would choose Mary because of her expertise and character."

"We bought a house! Our buying process was a rollercoaster, from looking for months, to deciding to build and watching our home go up for months, to finding a different home and falling in love with it, to letting go of the house we were building, and finally to purchasing a house we love. What a ride! I have to give a shout-out to our awesome realtor, John McCarthy! He stuck with us for almost a whole year through the whole process. We are so grateful."

"A wise man once said, "If it doesn't feel right, then we wait. We'll find the perfect one for you." We talked to countless realtors over a number of years, and none of them ever was the right one. Until we met John McCarthy, when I told him that I was hesitant to work with a realtor because they wanted me to do all the work and then send them what I wanted to see, he asked that we give him a try and said he'd love to have the opportunity to prove he's different. And, he proved this right away! He is proactive, thorough, thoughtful, and patient. Over the course of several months, we saw numerous properties and made several offers. When I was anxious, John would tell me, "If it doesn't feel right, then we wait. We'll find the perfect one for you." If you're looking to buy or sell, you can trust John. He's a business-savvy partner and will work with you to do the right thing for you."

"I connected with Dar and Bryan through a mutual friend of ours. After an initial consult with their team, it became incredibly clear that they knew the area so in-depth it was scary! They were also just as committed to understanding our priorities, values and communication style. As we worked through different showings and houses, they took the lead on scouting because they just knew exactly what we were looking for; at that point, the process became simpler and the prospective houses really fit our family's needs. We are buyers from out of town, so their local knowledge was SO helpful. Dar would Facetime us while at a weekend showing (she's always working) or send us detailed videos of a walk-through ahead of a showing. We did multiple after-hours tours and I knew their commitment matched ours in finding the right house, in the right neighborhood, at the right price. I would absolutely recommend Dar McLane to anyone in our situation!"

"John McCarthy is the best. We recently purchased a home in Dripping Springs, and John was a huge help and a calming influence. The closing happened very quickly and smoothly. We were actually out of town, and John was able to direct us in the process and provided reassurance that it could easily be done. And it was, couldn’t have gone any better. I would highly recommend and would gladly work with him again."

"Buying and finding a house at the top of the market was not an easy task for a transplanted professional like me, being new to Texas. Mary was very professional as well as personal. Mary is not only a fantastic realtor, but she is also an excellent support system. Anytime there was a house I wanted to see, Mary moved fast as houses were flying off the market. She negotiated and helped me to obtain the house of my dreams, worked hard to make sure things like repairs were fair. Mary is amazing, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home in Austin/Texas."

"I work a job that requires a lot of travel, but I always knew I wanted Austin to be my “home base”. The Austin housing market moves so quickly, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to find a place while balancing my professional and personal calendars. John worked with my schedule and helped me immensely along the way. I was able to see all of the homes I had picked as well as many others that fit my criteria, but weren’t even on my radar! Because of John’s expertise, I was able to find and close on my dream home! I don’t believe I would have been able to complete this process if I hadn’t had him in my corner, guiding me through each and every step."

"Bryan is as good as it gets. He’s very knowledgeable about the process and the area. He is the realtor who is clearly on YOUR side, as it should be. So many other realtors are just trying to get the deal to close to get paid. Bryan would be the first one to tell you to pass if something wasn’t right. And that’s what you want in a realtor, someone to help you make sure you don’t end up paying too much, getting a lemon, or somehow getting screwed in the process. If I buy another house, I’ll be contacting Bryan. And you should, too."

"We are very happy with the work John did to sell our Apache Shores lot. The entire process took less than 30 days! John knew of a Buyer interested in the area and approached him before listing the property in MLS. The Buyer made us an excellent cash offer, and we accepted. We used a local Title Company, and the transaction was very quick and easy. We will definitely continue to work with John on future Real Estate projects."

"My wife and I had been looking for a house for months and were not getting a lot of help. A friend connected us to John McCarthy, and immediately, he went to work. After a week, we found a house that we liked. John gave up his Sunday afternoon to show us the house, and we put an offer on it that night. Two days later, we were soon-to-be homeowners. Having never bought a house before, my wife and I were not sure what to expect. John was very knowledgeable and explained every detail of the buying process. He was fantastic. I will recommend him to anyone searching for a home. 5 Stars."

During a very difficult time in my life with the sudden passing of my dad, John was able to step in and guide me through the selling of my dad's house and filtering through the offers so that we (the family) weren't taken advantage of. He was very helpful throughout the process, even when I was feeling overwhelmed with the estate process. Very professional and willing to step in and help get things done."

"I typically only offer reviews for either very disappointing services or those that exceed my expectations, and Tamlyn's assistance as my realtor definitely fits into the latter. I’ve purchased over ten homes over the years and have worked with a variety of realtors, and Tamlyn is my favorite by far. Not only does she have a friendly and low-pressure personality, but she also responded quickly whenever I found a property I wanted to see, and she walked me through multiple offers as it took a while for me to find a home in this market. When we finally found the right home, I experienced several episodes of anxiety: “Oh no, I made a mistake!” After having rented for the past four years, purchasing felt formidable. Each time, Tamlyn knew exactly how to respond, remaining calm, which helped me to calm down as well. I most definitely give Tamlyn Steele five stars for her service and recommend her to anyone purchasing a home in this market."

"Bryan was recommended to us through a friend in the area. He helped us move from the Pacific Northwest to Texas for a work relocation. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic we couldn't get on planes to go walk homes with him like we thought we would be doing. Bryan was able to use Facetime and walk us through the homes in the area we wanted to see. When we requested multiple showing of the same house due our fears and distances, he was there with his camera ready to help. Once we found the house we thought was for us, Bryan helped every step of the way. The inspector found some problems and Bryan helped negotiate those fixes into the deal and had contractors ready to go. My better half now sits on her new front porch watching the deer stroll across our property and just loves it. Thank you Bryan for all your help."
