Megan Jarrard Bradshaw

Realtor, CRS, SRS, ABR, CNE (15 years experience) Specialties Buyer's agent Listing agent Relocation Short-Sale Native Texan here! Megan has lived her whole life within about a 60-mile radius of the Greater Austin Area. Shortly after graduating college, she decided to pursue her real estate career, with some motivation from her dad, who has since retired from his successful surveying business in Milam county. Since embarking on this real estate career in 2006, Megan has experienced several market cycles that have proven to be vastly different and provided a wide range of experiences, knowledge and education. Her earliest years in real estate showed to be a strong seller's market, however also provided plenty of new construction opportunities for buyers. We then retreated into the recession of 2009 where we encountered job loss, extremely low market values, short sales and foreclosures. 2012 seemed to be the year that we began to see a slow and steady progression in values and a rebounding housing market that has inclined ever since. Today, we are experiencing a massive shortage of inventory in the resale and new construction market, multiple bids on almost every home, interest lists that are much higher than availability and final sales prices that far exceed the list price. This current market is "lopsided" and poses many challenges for sellers and buyers. Through Megan's dedication to professional development, creative marketing strategies, learning helpful technology, and continuous awareness and adaptation to the ever-changing real estate market, she is able to understand my client's needs and deliver on their real estate vision. Megan's 15+ years of real estate has helped her gain valuable transactional experience, hours of education and driven her customer service to lengths that provide an optimal experience. The majority of her business is generated by referrals from happy clients and friends. Megan develops close relationships with those she serves and strives to exceed expectations, every time. The end goal of a transaction is to have successfully delivered a positive experience and to have gained a friend and raving fan. Following each buyer or seller closing, a donation is made in her client's name(s) to three different charity partners. One is to a Williamson County emergency shelter that provides services to children and youth in the foster care system. The second is Take Me Home - an animal rescue transport service, moving animals out of high kill shelters into other states where people are waiting to adopt. Additionally, RE/MAX has been a long-time partner and Dell Children's Hospital, making donations through Children's Miracle Network. No matter the market and no matter the challenge, Megan's experience as a Broker Associate professional gives her clients a distinct edge in the buying or selling process. At home, Megan keeps up with her husband, two sons and three dogs. Megan's husband, Michael, has been in the business of building new homes for 15+ years. Megan values the knowledge and information Michael knows about the industry and views this as an asset to her business. As a family, they enjoy being outside, going to the beach and lake, having lots of extended family and friends time and learning new sports. Megan feels incredibly blessed to have a career that gives her the ability to enjoy her sons, participate in their lives and watch them grow. Notable acknowledgments: ?
