About

Meet MJ

Born in Watertown, New York, MJ McFarland spent his formative years in constant motion. Due to his father's service in the U.S. Military, he lived in several cities and states, including Texas, where most of his upbringing took place. Along the way, he gained a first-hand understanding and appreciation for the moving process, knowledge that would serve him well upon deciding to pursue a career in the real estate business.

His outstanding athleticism enabled him to showcase his skills as a full scholarship football player at the University of Texas at Austin, and eventually to a career as a professional athlete in the National Football League. There, he was blessed with the opportunity to play for the Philadelphia Eagles, The New York Jets, and the Dallas Cowboys.

A man of many talents, MJ had a special interest in finance that began to grow more how money works, not only the many ways to earn it, but also how to invest it, grow it, and preserve it.

Client Stories

The biggest decision of my life was to relocate my family and me from CA. With the help and expertise from MJ made the choice easy. He was incredibly patient and made us feel like we weren't just potential income for him, but he genuinely cared about my family and the choice to move somewhere we knew nothing about. Although our first offer fell through due to some inspection concerns, he did his research and knew exactly what we wanted. We got a call while we were back in CA about another property. We put all our trust in him and put a bid without even viewing the home. Lo and behold we got the home and couldn't be happier!

MJ is very professional, driven and works hard for his clients. I've seen his dedication throughout our football career at UT. When I told him I wanted to buy a house he was quick to get me started and set up with what I needed. He made the whole process easy and smooth. I highly recommend MJ for anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

We needed to move from PA to TX and weren't able to see any of the properties we were buying (all were 2-7M range), but MJ would go to every single property, take videos, and FaceTime us. Gave us very honest feedback on each home. He was always available and responsive. We ended up purchasing a beautiful home sight unseen because we trusted MJ completely.
