My husband and I were moving back to Austin from Seattle and contacted Eric after reading his numerous Yelp reviews and experiencing slow communications with the realtor we originally intended to use. We made the right decision to work with Eric! He listened intently to our requirements over the phone and quickly had a list of houses that actually met our criteria. We worked with him to plan a last-minute 4 day trip to Austin, where he and Bailey spent 4 days taking us through over 35 houses before we had to fly back to Seattle. He and Bailey were both super-responsive to all our emails/texts/phone calls before, during, and after our 4 day trip. Both Eric and Bailey were relaxed, helpful, and candid throughout the process. Eric is super-knowledgable about the neighborhoods we were considering, which really helped us better understand what to expect with each home we saw.
Eric allowed us to walk through each home at our own pace, hanging back to answer questions if we had them, but letting us experience the home for ourselves. He was upfront about potential issues in any home we looked at, rather than blindly encouraging us to just purchase a home already. By the time we flew home from our trip, Eric had prepared our offer and sent everything we needed over to us to sign. He helped us through the process and recommended an excellent lender who was able to offer us great rates and patiently listen to all of our first-time home buyer questions. When we panicked over not understanding something in the contract at the last minute when we were supposed to be signing all the papers, Eric quickly responded to our text (after hours in Austin) and called us to explain what we were confused about.
Buying a home from another state is difficult, and Eric was a great realtor throughout the process. He and his team even arranged for flooring companies to access the house so we could arrange to have floors installed before our move from Seattle. Once we moved into the house, I had trouble operating the jacuzzi in the Master bath, and Eric was quick to respond. He not only re-sent the inspection report, but called me and patiently walked me through trouble-shooting the tub until I got it to work.
We are very happy with our experience working with Eric and Bailey and would highly recommend them without reservation to anyone looking to purchase a home in Austin.
Eric Bramlett helped me purchase a new construction property and was able to be very effective although I work in the oil & gas industry with limited access to personal correspondence while away for work weeks at a time. I was interested in central Austin and his insight into the different neighborhoods was invaluable. There are a lot of smaller central Austin builders and Eric knew most, if not all of them. I ended up purchasing from one of the larger builders who specialize in the area and Eric already had a relationship with them, which made the process go very smoothly.
Eric is very experienced and knowledgeable. I especially appreciated his no pressure approach. I never felt like he wanted to just "get a sale." I really trust his expertise and anyone would be very lucky to work with him.
We worked with Katie as our agent for our home purchase. She was very friendly and very easy to work with. We were concerned about the price we were paying for a resale home and she did a thorough market analysis to ensure it would be appraised for that. She helped us throughout the process with all our questions and concerns patiently even though the sellers were not the easiest to work with. I recommend working with this firm.
Eric is a great realtor. He has done a terrific job in helping us find and buy our new home. He has a great network of contractors & inspectors that have made the buying process easy for us. Additionally, Eric understands the market dynamics really well and provides recommendation with both near and long term in mind, his insights make the decision making process very easy. He has been available and very responsive at all times when we needed him! We will absolutely work with him again and are huge advocates of his work.
We bought our first house with Bramlett and then when it was time to sell it we decided to go with them again. We weren't able to be in Austin while our home was on the market and Will was awesome in making sure things went as smoothly as possible. We didn't have to do much, they took care of everything. We received constant updates and when it came time to finally sign the papers they scheduled a notary to come to our new home in Florida. Everything was much easier than I thought it would be and I'm very thankful.
I worked with Craig McGuire and couldn't have been happier with the experience. It took around 4 months from when I first got in touch with Craig until I was serious about making an offer and he was patient and not at all pushy. He was always prompt in answering my questions via email or text, even when asking during evening hours and on weekends. Craig offered sound advice on strategies for making offers and what to ask for during the negotiations. He also kept me up to date on what I needed to do each step of the way during the closing process and worked with the lender on my behalf.
Craig has been nothing but helpful, even after closing on the house with a couple questions I've had. He has connections with contractors and has offered me referrals any time I need them. I highly recommend working with him if you need to buy a home.
Our agent Bailey Moran was an absolute godsend throughout the home buying process. With her expertise and guidance, we were able to view, offer, and win a multiple-offer listing that was on the market for only 2 days. Her area knowledge was consistently impressive throughout the process - from local schools and amenities to commuting times, she always had an answer ready. She provided invaluable guidance at every step of the way. We were first time home buyers and a little nervous throughout, and Bailey really provided the experience we depended on. She provided referrals for local lenders and home inspectors too that were invaluable. We couldn't be happier!
Best.Realtor.Ever. The reviews are spot on. We have had other realtors and were therefore able to quickly tell how and why Eric and his team stand out. They are super organized, efficient and very knowledgable about the hose buying/selling process. Eric had all the answers to all of our questions. At times we were SHOCKED at the PROMPTNESS of his responses. Eric is also more than willing to answer the 100+ questions that you may have and never seems annoyed. Eric was recommended to us by a friend and we would definitely like to "pay it forward" by recommending him to anyone looking for the best.
Eric was a massive help throughout the entire process. I called him countless times and he was always there, or got back to me very soon after, even after we had closed.
We've worked with Eric for years. He's responsive, accountable and proactive. He knows the Austin real estate market extremely well and has great referrals for everything from inspectors to movers. We'll only work with him moving forward!
So crazy as it seems I used yelp for a real estate agent and found Vicki Duran. I chose her because she was 30 years native to the area I was looking for. Being from out of town I was concerned that I wouldn't find the right place for my family. Vicki helped us navigate through the Texas real estate laws, banking etc. She recommended great people to work with and we closed in less than 30 days! There is no way we could have done this without Vicki. Highly recommended and please ask for Vicki.
I worked with Lauren Yoder and she was AMAZING. She was extremely patient and knowledgeable (which is incredibly helpful as first time home buyers). She really looks out for her clients and will do everything that's in the client's best interest. Can't recommend her enough!
When we decided to move out of state to Austin, when didn't know how to approach finding a new home. Luckily, I came across The Bramlett Residential Real Estate name. When I contacted them, little did I know they would put me in touch with the best realtor we'd ever had the pleasure of working with: Tara McGuire. From the first time we spoke with her, we knew right away that we found someone who would listen to our needs and fight for them. We've all had an experience with an agent who pushes you to buy something just to get their commission...not Tara. She made it perfectly clear that making sure we got what we truly wanted was her #1 goal. I know some folks give you lip service on this point, but Tara walked the talk. We looked at dozens of homes and at no point did Tara get frustrated or try and push us in a direction just to get us off her hands. She even would point things out that she was concerned about...I don't know about you, but that is NOT the norm and we appreciated it more than she probably knows. Simply put, Tara is the best in the Biz and we are so grateful to have found her. It's safe to say we will be entrusting all of our future real estate needs with her. Thanks for everything, Tara!
Eric and team helped us purchase our home in Austin while we were living across the country. The 4 days we flew in (with 3 kids) to look at homes, he went above and beyond educating us on the area and showing us almost 20 different homes. Never losing patience with us...or our children! We found our home and put in an offer while waiting in the Austin airport for our flight back east! He was our eyes and ears on the ground here in Austin while we were back east, always offering to be where we could not and giving us recommendations along the way.
Eric is extremely fast at returning phone calls, emails, and texts (even with a difference in time zones). We felt confident leaving our new home in his care while we could not be there. He continues to have our best interests in mind, even after our closing. He is the first person I contact for referrals and recommendations. He has never let us down and we have continued to use his extensive team of contractors. We would truly be lost in Austin without having him to reach out to.
Eric and team will forever be our go-to people for any real estate purchases in the future!
I found Eric when I was relocating from San Francisco to Austin. I knew I wanted to live really central, but I wasn't sure which neighborhood I would like the most or what I could afford, as it seems like things can vary quite a bit within a few miles. We looked north and south of the river and explored different neighborhoods on our search - Eric was very patient with all my questions about each - and I decided on buying in Travis Heights, which I absolutely love living in, the definite right choice. Unfortunately it was a tight seller's market (still is Austin), but Eric led the way and helped me get the house I wanted without any issue. I didn't ever feel pressured and he wasn't "salesy", thank goodness... he's been a great resource to me afterwards too with vendor recommendations.
We worked with Vicki Duran, to buy a house in Leander. Vicki is an amazing agent, she was super helpful with everything that we were doing, she was very open and helped us to see enormous amount of properties in two days, and provided all the information that we needed.
She also literally saved our deal when we had to re-negotiate deal closure delay. I believe she is the best possible agent we could even think of, I could not be pleased more. I definitely recommend Bramlett Residential and Vicki Duran.
We moved to Austin from LA and wanted to purchase as soon as possible. After interviewing 4 realtors over the phone, we knew we'd be in good hands with Eric. He asked all the right questions and was realistic with what we could expect with our budget and wishlist. A bonus, Eric also has a ton of experience in remodeling homes and is an investor himself. This was really helpful as we not only wanted to explore home options but investment opportunities as well. Almost a year after house hunting with him and his team, we finally closed on a house last weekend and couldn't be more thrilled. We saw dozens of homes and took our time, but Eric was always patient and persisted through with us.
Eric genuinely wants his clients to maximize the potential of their home. He's full of ideas for renovations, layout, vendor recommendations and even details such as what light bulbs shine the best! Not to mention, he's just a really cool guy. House hunting can get draining but it helps when your agent is down to earth and can crack a joke or two :)
I would say the 3 most important qualities in your realtor is that they are honest, knowledgeable and engaged. Eric and his team hit the mark on all points and we'll be using them again for any future purchases/sales.
I hired Eric because he is a straight up professional and clearly better than the three other agents I interviewed.
Eric uses data. He has a project plan. He works with good people. Every contact was professional and a pleasure and NEVER a waste of time.
If you expect people to do their jobs well, you won't be disappointed.
My husband found Eric on the Internet, fairly randomly, and I can not believe how lucky we got! Eric is an awesome realtor, and my husband and I could not be more pleased with our experience working with him. My husband and I have different personalities and tastes, and Eric was able to work with both of us equally well. Eric is professional, patient, and knowledgeable, and is extremely quick to respond to texts, emails and phone calls. My husband and I worked with Eric over the course of more than nine months, and I always felt he had our backs. I knew I could trust Eric to tell us the truth about a house or a neighborhood, which was critical because we were moving from out of town. I would not hesitate to recommend Eric to any of my friends or family!
My boyfriend and I contacted Eric Bramlett Residential via their website, after reading great Yelp reviews. We were referred to Will Mackintosh. As first time home buyers, the Austin real estate market can be very intimidating. Will set up an MLS listing search that alerted us to new listings that met our criteria. When we were ready to tour, Will was very flexible with scheduling showings. He is very laid back and not at all high pressure ,which matches our style. After making several offers that were declined, Will encouraged us to keep looking. He promptly responded to our emails (sometimes freak-outs) and educated us about the process as we went. Will even helped us diffuse a situation with a pushy listing agent after closing earlier this month. Although we hope to not be in the market for a new home for quite a while, we will certainly recommend Will to family and friends!
