5) Slowing Market / Staying Positive / Staying Productive
  • The market slowed more in June than in May. We saw -25% fewer units sold and -31% fewer contracts. There are just fewer deals out there to be had. What do we do?
  • Stay Positive: You can make sure that you have a good year this year. If you continue to work hard and work everything, you will have a good year. The only way you can do this is by staying positive. You have to understand and firmly believe that your productive actions now will pay off in the future. The good news is that they will.
  • Stay Productive: When markets slow down, buyers lose urgency. There are a more homes on the market and they're not selling as quickly, so why rush? Listings take longer to sell. Stay productive by continuing to work new leads, take open houses, and work your SOI. Set everyone you meet with either a Buyer Search or a Seller Update. You'll have a good year this year and an amazing year in 2023!
  • The good news? While buyers have less urgency, you don't have to duke it out with 20 other buyers on every listing. Sellers aren't all selling in one weekend, but they're more understanding.
  • The great news? Lots of your competitors will not be positive or productive. This means there is lots of market share up for grabs.
6) What are we working on?
  • Bailey officially started her position of Agent Success Manager on July 1st and started reaching out to you guys last week. You're going to hear a lot more from her! We absolutely love getting feedback from you guys and doing it on the 1-on-1 level is the best way we can do this. (Don't worry, though, there will still be plenty of surveys!) We want to know what we're doing that you guys like and that's helping you succeed so that we can do more of that.
  • Please make sure to use the new info (that includes Bailey as your licensed supervisor) on the IABS. The updated form is available on RealScale.
  • We're increasing resources/spend to our Client Portal Tool. We couldn't be more excited about this tool for a number of reasons!
  • Marelise and Shelby are working super hard to provide phenomenal support and to continue to improve the searchability of the Company Guide.

JC was very helpful during the process of buying my first home. He directed me to lenders that truly had my best interest at heart. I almost made a few bad decisions that JC was there to wave off for me. I truly appreciate JC's responsiveness to ALL of my many questions and his willingness to be a sounding board for my frustrations in the process. I still hear from JC from time to time ensuring that I am happy with my home and letting me know of up and coming business in my area that might affect my property value. I will absolutely be using JC to purchase my next home.

JC does a great job with attention to detail and ensuring he has answers to your questions as you navigate the process of a home purchase. JC understands the process of the transaction in a home purchase and makes sure the details are covered.

Ruth helped us to view many houses and (over months) to make multiple offers in a really, really tough market for buyers. Our low bids were our own fault! Ruth's guesses are always spot on. We finally had a bid accepted last month, and Ruth helped us re-negotiate after significant problems were discovered. Ruth has gone above and beyond for us, giving us far more time during this long search than we could reasonably have expected. She even helped us look for a rental when we'd basically given up. Her advice has always been immensely valuable and brutally honest. She is the most knowledgeable agent I've met on the Central Austin market. She also handled our stress well, and believe me, buying in Austin right now is stressful!

I had a great experience working with Bramlett Residential Real Estate. Jean Holm was my agent and she & her team made the whole process very simple. She explained everything very well, was knowledgeable, had great advice, and got our home sold. Definitely reccomend!

I worked with Jeremy Vandermause to buy my first home. Jeremy was so patient throughout the process (which I definitely dragged out as I gathered all the facts). He consistently sent me homes I was interested in and was eager to show them off, and on the odd occasions where I found one he hadn't already seen he always made himself available to walk through with me. He was very helpful in those walkthroughs pointing out home features I would have missed, or providing context on neighborhood. As a native Austinite, he definitely knows the history and cultural fabric of the city and each neighborhood. I started with close to zero knowledge of the home-buying process and Jeremy walked me through every step with clarity and patience. So excited about the home I now own! Plus, he's just a legit cool dude. I always really enjoyed our conversations and could tell from the start he was someone worth knowing in Austin

This review is about Joe Gage, their real estate agent. I'm based in Sam Francisco and was looking for investment property in Austin. I tried out three different agents based on recommendations from different sources, including Yelp. Joe clearly stands out. He's very patient and responsive. I'm not familiar with the area at all thus had a lot of questions. His email reply contains detailed information of the neighborhood, including shops nearby, schools and so on. He regularly screen houses and give recommendations once he sees a good fit for investment house offered at reasonable price. He's very knowledgeable about the area. All his recommendations comes with details around why he thinks it's a good investment and sales/rental data in the neighborhood to justify the price he thinks it's worth as well as the expected rental income. I found him to be very methodical and organized. He's not a typical sales person. Maybe this is because he used to be an accountant. Needless to say he earned our trust and we went with him to make the purchase. I was very impressed through the whole process. He's very calm and never pushy. His recommendation on the bid price was right on and he was very good at following up with various parties to push things through. The process went through very smoothly. If anyone is looking for a good real estate agent in Austin, I'd recommend Joe whole-heartedly. His professionalism and calm personality make him a real pleasure to work with.
