About Mark Murrell

I had been interviewing with people all over town, and someone from another Broker recommended I come and talk with you. I asked this person if most real estate firms have a focus of leasing or sales, and she said that she knew one place (JBGoodwin) that did do both. I also received some info in the mail from Mark which pushed me to email and set up a meeting. That is how I heard about the company. Why did I choose JBGoodwin to join? I want to start with leasing and move to sales. Of the other places I looked at they either did majority leasing or majority sales. The leasing places didn't give me confidence to move to sales in terms of writing first offers and having people around me who had done it before. The sales places looked on leasing like a last resort. I knew I wanted somewhere with training that was also cost effective - i.e. Keller Williams was very expensive. I was also impressed that you all invited me to a sales meeting and let me go on the caravan. It was good to see everyone already working away, and I also got a feel for the culture. I like that new agents can hold open houses for the busier agents. It is important to build your own leads, but this gives a leg up that other companies didn't discuss. Finally, I like that Mark was open in the interview. He discussed all the reasons to start with leasing which matched what my research had told me. I also like that you were honest about money and savings, which matched what my Realtor friends have said before. In fact in general I like that people don't seem to talk up their income and how well they are doing. People do talk about the challenges and use them as a learning stone.

Mark Murrell was integral in finding us our perfect home. We moved back to Austin from San Diego and he was incredibly patient with us trying to re-learn Austin. We were unsure of the area we wanted to live in so Mark provided us with resources to help us determine what would best meet our needs. Throughout the process Mark was professional and attentive to our ever-changing requests. Once we found our house, he was supportive and knowledgeable during the closing process to ensure that we felt comfort with all of the many details. We are so happy with our house, we won't be moving anytime soon, but if we ever need a larger home we would definitely insist that Mark Murrell be our realtor!

Mark Murrell was fantastic. Knowledgeable, thorough and on top of every detail. Will use him again for future purchases.
