Bottom line is Barrett was great! My wife and I were talking after the closing and how remarkable it was that we never had to prod for information or worry that we were asking too many questions. Barrett kept us in the loop, anticipated questions, and was insanely fast at replying and preparing documents. We will definitely be using Barrett when we move from our house.

Jon Petersen

My wife and I had the pleasure of recently conducting two transactions with Bramlett, one purchase and one sale. We had worked with Kasey Gilliam on both, for which I give her my highest endorsement possible. Kasey is without a doubt the best real estate agent I’ve known.

Most importantly, in both transactions, Kasey facilitated outcomes that we were extremely happy with. We found a new home that suits are family perfectly, and our old home was under contract within 24 hours of being listed. Both were at price points that were very satisfactory. Second, the processes throughout were handled with great diligence, which eased a lot of stress! Throughout, Kasey was rock solid dependable who answered our many questions thoroughly and quickly, and always explained to us where we were with each step and what was next so we were always well informed. As a strategist, Kasey is sharp and great with finding that right balance between hard data and intuition which led to outstanding results.

Kasey also has a wonderful team from her assistant Kim and others at the agency who helped with the administrative burden making each transaction seamless. Kasey’s network was also of great value. On the sell side, she knew just the right person to help paint cabinets, make repairs, landscape, and clean windows. Each of these contacts were reliable – we’ve already used one at our new house and will use the others when needed.

Overall, I can’t say enough about how wonderful Kasey and the Bramlett team have been for my family. I recommend her as strongly as I have with any professional!

Bob Kresko

I chose Barrett for many reasons. The primary was that he assisted me in my last
purchase. He is one of the most honest and forthcoming people I know. It’s rare to find that in the industry as commission seems to be the overriding factor for many of the decisions or comments. I never felt that he was in it just for the money. My best interest was always accounted for. I have enough experience between my transactions here in Texas as well as in California to know that you just don’t find agents like him. I would
only choose to do business with him in this market.

Joe and June Maruschak

Barrett Sandefur recently assisted my wife and I with purchasing a home in Buda. We
closed on the property 5/15. We had a wonderful experience with Barrett. He provided
excellent, professional service on all phases. Barrett is very personable and
communicates very effectively. Any time we had questions he responded promptly in a
way that was easy to understand. We appreciated working with Barrett and I’ll do my
best to refer him to my friends.

Justin and Kristin Rickman

My husband and I had a realtor we were working with that kind of fizzled out on us in the beginning and being that this was our first home selling experience we were a bit lost and not sure how to move forward. We came across Barrett Sandefur, and after explaining our situation with the last realtor, he gave us the confidence that this did not have to be a difficult process. Barrett came prepared to our first visit with an answer to every question we had and even an organized booklet so we could have a visual as well. We had a lot of questions night and day that were always promptly answered. Basically every step of the way Barrett made us feel comfortable and not pressured at all. In the end, we sold our home in 2 days at a much higher price than we had ever expected!! Not to mention, Barrett helped us find the perfect home that we will plan to reside in for the next 20 years. A VERY big thank you to Barrett Sandefur! I highly recommend Barrett to anyone who wants to buy or sell a home. We are so glad we got a chance to work with him!

I first met Barrett on the golf course several years ago and shortly thereafter we were in the market for a home. Barrett assisted us with the process and showed us a number of homes and we missed on a couple and basically gave up on moving. I felt bad for Barrett that he had done a lot of work for nothing, but fast forward to this year and we got back in the market and Barrett was there and ready to help. Barrett was a true professional through all the house hunting and never once did I feel like Barrett was frustrated with us, even when I told him we were not going to look anymore. In fact, he kept in touch and even played in a golf tournament or two with me and then assisted us in buying and selling this year. My wife and I feel like Barrett is a friend and we can not say enough good things about him.

Eric Weisman

Barrett helped my family sell our house in Austin as part of a move we were making to
Boston, MA. We were looking to sell quickly but at the right price point given that we
were located in the 78703. Not only did we need to sell quickly, but we were also out of
town for two weeks as we were preparing to list the house, adding stress to our
situation. Barrett took care of everything with tremendous professionalism and
graciousness. He knew exactly the right price to list at so that we got multiple offers and
so that we eventually sold well above the asking price. And while we probably could
have driven up the price further, Barrett encouraged us to go with the right buyer,
someone who was not only qualified, but who also who fit the profile of our
neighborhood. He managed the entire process while we were away, staying in constant
communication, and he ensured we had a seamless experience from contract until
close, allowing us to time our move from Austin to Boston perfectly. While we initially
chose Barrett because he was a good friend, I cannot say enough about his skills as a
realtor. Should we ever move back to Austin (not an unlikely possibility sometime in the
future), I wouldn’t have anyone else help us find a home.

When we were considering our home sale in Avery Ranch, Barrett Sandefur responded and met me at the house the next day. He already had a market analysis prepared and we briefly discussed options. I was very impressed with his professionalism and always asking me what I wanted to do rather than pushing me in any direction. We decided to wait a year to sell and throughout that time, Barrett would periodically check in just to see if he could help with anything. Again, not pushy at all. I used the opportunity to ask a few questions along the way and he was quick to respond with helpful information. When the time came, I had no doubt who we wanted our agent to be. I called Barrett (now about 1 year after our initial meeting) and we met again. He came prepared with an updated analysis and we again reviewed options. We decided to sell and he started the process. I’ve heard plenty of horror stories about selling a home so I was skeptical about the process. Barrett quickly reassured us that he had everything covered and he truly lived up to that commitment. The entire process from initial presales contract up through closing took about 2 months and Barrett was professional, attentive, and extremely helpful throughout. The experience was actually very positive. He took care of all the heavy lifting and went above and beyond to make sure we were informed and comfortable the whole way through. We don’t plan to buy or sell anytime soon but when we do, I know who I’m calling!!! Thanks Barrett!

Kevin and Jordan Shaughnessy

Our experience working with Barrett was nothing less than amazing. He first came on
our radar when he sold a house on our street before it hit the market. When it came
time to sell our house, Barrett came prepared with market analysis data and confidence
that he would sell our house quickly at a strong price point. Barrett was not pushy and
always gave us the necessary data to make informed decisions. His recommendations
on painters, handymen, landscapers, stagers, and photographers were all a pleasure to
work with and truly got our house looking its best. We received multiple offers within the
first few weeks, and Barrett helped immensely throughout the process to ensure
everything went smoothly. And it did. Thank you, Barrett! It was then a no-brainer to
work with Barrett on our new home purchase. Again, Barrett worked within the
parameters we gave him. Originally, we thought that central Austin would no longer be
an option with our growing family. Barrett was able to locate a new construction home in
Tarrytown that met our needs and then was able to negotiate to stay within our budget.
We couldn’t be happier about our new home. Barrett was fantastic to work with both
selling and buying. Highly recommended.

Amy and Steve Peacock

We, honestly, cannot say enough about Barrett. Knowing he had experience with
relocation companies, and his superb knowledge of our neighborhood is what sold us
on him. He answered every call, text, and email professionally and on time. This was
our first time working with a relocation company, and Barrett took the time to explain
and guide us through the entire process. It is so important to have a good working
relationship with your Realtor, and we feel very fortunate to have worked with him. We
can only hope to find someone close to Barrett in Washington State when we decide to
buy here.

Ashley Laughlin

Barrett is absolutely amazing! He came highly recommended, and I now know why.
Barrett is a go-getter; always available to answer any and all questions, gives sound
advice and recommendations, has great referrals for other services, incredibly
knowledgeable, kind, professional, prompt, I could go on. I am so glad that we used
Barrett to sell our home! He is currently hunting for our next home, and it’s been just as
wonderful. I won’t use anyone else, Barrett is the very best!

Ryan

We recently worked with Barrett Sandefur to sell our home in Circle C. He was
absolutely wonderful to work with, extremely responsive and easy to get a hold of, very
knowledgeable of the market, comps, rules and regulations, etc. and easy to work with
all around. He had several connections to local vendors to get our house in the best
shape possible at a reasonable price (i.e., interior paint, etc.) before getting it on the
market. He held an open the first weekend we were on the market and we closed the
sale in less than 30 days of being on the market. We would highly recommend Barrett to
anyone looking to buy or a sell their home. He truly made the experience as seamless
as possible.
