Meet Elisabeth & John Hay

John A. Hay III is a trusted real estate professional whose career bridges more than 15 years of experience as an attorney. As founder of The Hay Legal Group PLLC, he has guided clients through complex multi-million-dollar transactions of all types, from residential, commercial, and legacy ranches to subdivisions and developments, bringing unmatched advocacy to each specific transaction. John’s background spans real estate law, real estate sales, mortgage lending, and development, and offers a rare perspective in the market. He works alongside his wife, Elisabeth, providing support for sales of high-end residential, ranch, commercial, and community developments with a determined and strategic approach.

 

Elisabeth Hay gained experience selling properties in Austin, nailing a spot on the Austin Business Journal’s list of top 10 agents by sales volume after only three years in the business. Elisabeth is now a dedicated NAR member in Fredericksburg, TX, who sells a diverse set of properties. What distinguishes Elisabeth is her personal familiarity with various property types— she's bought, sold, and designed luxury homes for her family, managed profitable vacation rentals, repositioned commercial properties and ranches to sell, and brought new subdivisions to market. This unique perspective gives her a valuable understanding when considering properties for her clients. Caring for clients beyond transactions, Elisabeth's extensive network makes her a valuable resource for clients' ongoing property needs. Elisabeth's passion for historic properties shines through her preservation efforts and ownership of multiple 120+ year old homes. She relishes hosting dinner parties, a nod to her southern roots. Elisabeth is a multifaceted professional who embodies dedication, expertise, and an understanding of her clients' worlds.

 

Beyond real estate, John and Elisabeth are owners of Marjorie Farms, a thoroughbred horse breeding, racing, and boarding business. They are philanthropically active and consistently support causes spanning land preservation, community funds, and, especially close to their heart, the St. Jude’s Foundation. Their personal commitment to excellence and purpose also guides their work with every client. Splitting time between Fredericksburg and their Guadalupe Riverfront home in Hunt, John and Elisabeth spend their free time doing anything outdoors in the Texas Hill Country alongside their twins who are students at a local private school in Fredericksburg, Texas.
