    "John McCarthy is the BEST!"
    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 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.

    "John went above and beyond!"
    John went above and beyond to make buying a new house as stress-free as possible. We found the perfect house for my family and closed quickly. He took care of all the details. I couldn't have asked for a more professional and thorough person for the job.

    "He was fantastic."
    My wife and I had been looking for a house for months and 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

    "Thank you for being such a great partner in our search!"
    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 theywanted 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.

    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. Emily

    "Nashville Bound!"
    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 that 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 to sell our home. A great negotiator, he truly represented our interest and suggested things to help us sell our home quickly. We highly recommend John McCarthy and McLane Realty group as a great resource for buying or selling your home.

    "Helped me immensely!"
    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 quick, 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.

    "John’s style was the perfect match!"
    John’s style was the perfect match for buying our Galveston, TX investment property / second home. He was very attentive and accessible throughout the process. If he didn’t know the answer to a question, he made sure to track down the detail to satisfy my ask.I would use John again in the future – John knows the Lake Travis lake front area of Austin and the Houston markets very well. Thank you, John for your help and expertise.

    "Very professional!"
    I just want to say how much I really appreciated working with John in the selling of my dad's home. 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.

    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.

    "We are very happy with the work!"
    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.
