Crystal Hirst is an absolute gem in the world of real estate. We found ourselves in a whirlwind move to Colorado, courtesy of my husband’s new job, and were quite anxious about managing our property in Pflugerville from a distance. Enter Crystal – our saving grace! Not only did she expertly market our home, but she went above and beyond to secure reliable renters quickly and efficiently. Crystal’s professionalism and dedication to her craft are unparalleled. What sets her apart is her genuine care for her clients. She didn’t just assist us in a transaction; she became a trusted friend throughout the process. Her guidance, support, and unwavering commitment to ensuring our peace of mind were truly remarkable. If you’re seeking someone who’s not only a skilled realtor but also a compassionate ally in your real estate journey, look no further than Crystal. Her expertise spans buying, selling, leasing, and investing, and she executes each task with precision and finesse.

Joe Gage is awesome! When we first met him a few years back, he helped us purchase an investment property and the process was seamless. Most recently, he helped us sell this same property without issues; Calmly addressing our concerns and was quickly responsive to all our questions. He is a great resource and would be a great asset to any investor!

Really glad that we chose Corrine as our realtor for our investment property purchase. She is a great realtor and has broad knowledge on all aspects of real estate process. Right from the first meeting where she understood our requirements clearly and then she pursued all the way till we get the right property at the right price. As remote investor, we needed someone on the ground who knows the locality very well and she was a perfect fit. Around 2+ months she patiently visited multiple open houses, took pictures, placed the right offer and perfectly negotiated with the seller on the needed issues. Thorough out the process she almost updated us on daily basis. We are very happy at the end. She is always approachable for any question & clarifications even after the deal is done. Thank a lot Corrine :).

 

Buyers Corrine Elgin Investor

Corrine is a top class realtor. She is smart, responsive and is focused on getting the most value for her clients. She spent good time to understand my investment property requirements which was crucial for us to be on the same page on which properties to pursue and which ones to pass. Throughout the negotiation, she represented me and my needs. With her help, I was successful in buying a Class A property in a great location in Austin suburbs. However she didn’t stop there – she even got me my first tenant through her network! I wasn’t expecting that.

Thank you Corrine 🙂 I highly recommend Corrine for your real estate needs.

Buyers Corrine Elgin Investor

Corrine was amazing in helping identify the perfect investment property in the Austin area. As a remote investor, you need someone that’s hands-on and has in-depth knowledge of the neighborhoods and willing to go that extra mile to do the due diligence. And Corrine had all of these traits and made the process extremely seamless. She was always a step ahead and I’d highly recommend her for anyone looking to purchase in the Austin and neighboring areas!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Julie Stoakley in our investment property search. She’s an investment property owner herself, and fully recognizes the unique characteristics of single- and multi-family rentals, and the economics behind that decision. Over the course of the past two months, Julie proved time and again, her professionalism, attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile. Halfway through our search, we changed our parameters from investment property in Austin to investment property on Lake LBJ. Some realtors would have taken that as a sign that we weren’t serious, but Julie adapted quickly to our needs and we eventually found the perfect condo for both our personal use and short-term rentals. Always patient, Julie navigated us through some tricky waters, kept in constant contact and negotiated shrewdly on our behalf. We would recommend her 100%!

Buyers Investor Julie Stoakley

Julie helped me find the perfect investment property! Being a first time home-buyer and investor, her knowledge and willingness to wade through my process with me was absolutely priceless. She is extremely knowledgeable about the Austin market
and was always two steps ahead of me in my search. Working with Julie has been a wonderful experience.

Agent: Linda Baddour I rarely write reviews, and almost never 5 stars. However, my experience with Linda was far beyond any I have had with other (many) realtors, and I really have no criticisms or suggestions to her at all. She had excellent knowledge of local market, Especially north Austin where she has greatest familiarity. She listened well!! Can’t do well without doing that. Showed appropriate homes, and knowledgeable about each one. Very accommodative for intense 48 hours of driving around as I am out of towner. Suggested good bids which were successful resulting in purchasing 2 homes in that time frame. Then meticulously followed up on every detail, setting up inspections, getting amendments, getting repairs, following up, and closing smoothly. I was out of town after making the offers, and she performed as if I were looking over her shoulder. Excellent communicator, people skills and a pleasure to work with. I have recommended her to others where I am and they will seek her out as remote investors, given my experience.

Becky Welch from Bramlett Residential had been instrumental helping us find the right rental investment property we were looking for near Austin, TX area. Since we were out of state, she helped us and worked above and beyond to guide our way through the competitive market in Austin. Even after choosing a home, she kept close contact until everything closes without any issue. We depended a lot on her.

Becky Welch Buyers Investor Out of state buyers

I worked with Becky Welch to buy an investment property. Becky is sincere, skilled, and transparent in her work. She has excellent contacts with mortgage lenders, title companies, and contractors. Purchasing a property in Austin is very stressful in this market. However, with Becky as our realtor, she made it super easy. She took care of all the work, from finding a property, meeting on time for showings, and finding the right tenant for us. I highly recommend Becky if you want to buy or sell your home.

We are remote investors. We connected with Linda Baddour after finding the highly-rated Bramlett Residential company online. It was extremely important to find an agent who has local insight, quick response times, and a solid understanding of the investment market. Linda herself is an experienced real estate investor. And with her CPA background, she was very detail-oriented in helping us understand the right neighborhoods to look at for maximizing our investment. We feel lucky to have found an agent who fit our needs perfectly! The house we wanted to buy was very hot. Linda was super on top of communicating with the seller. Our offer wouldn’t have been accepted without Linda’s superb offer recommendations and persistent engagement with the listing agent. On top of that, she was helpful and supportive throughout the closing process. We highly recommend Linda to anyone looking to buy a property in the greater Austin area!

I can’t recommend Joe Gage enough. I am an out of town investor who was interested in the Austin and surrounding market. Being unfamiliar with the areas made my own research overwhelming. Joe dissected the different areas and his personal recommendations. Joe went beyond just sending me MLS listings. He highlighted those with the best investment potential and the reasons why. We had closed on a house within 45 days from our initial meeting.

Buyers Investor Joe Gage

I was looking to buy a property in Austin area and was not sure where to start. One of my friends referred Joseph Gage from Bramlett Residential. Joe has been very kind, honest, patient, and helpful in educating me on the Austin real estate market and narrowing down a few potential areas to look for properties. He then guided on identifying appropriate properties and estimating the right amount to put on offers. After writing a few offers we finally were able successfully purchase a property. Joe provided very good referrals for financing and property management as well. I ended up using all the referrals from Joe and rented out the property in a short time. Joe made the whole process smooth and made me very comfortable purchasing the property remotely. I would highly recommend Joe Gage.

Buyers Investor Joe Gage

Linda Baddour of Bramlett Residential is the best realtor we have worked with! Linda is super helpful, knowledgeable, and willing to help in any way she can to get us to the closing point.

As investors, it was essential for us to have someone we could trust and help us navigate through the process. Because we do not live in the area, Linda did the walk-ins, took photos, videos, talked to the builder, and kept us posted up until the close of our home. Even after we closed, she helped us find a property management company and get some measurements we needed from the house.

Her service goes beyond buying and selling. Linda kept us informed about pricing, important news about the area, and statistics she shared monthly through email that helped us understand the market we were investing.

Thank you, Linda! I hope we can meet and do more business soon!

I have known Tara McGuire for years and just recently had the opportunity to work with her on the listing/sale of an investment property. From early conversations discussing strategy and long term goals (well before she was formally my realtor), right down to closing, she and her team were all in. I was grateful for their expertise and calm approach in the current chaos of the Austin real estate market.

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.

I am from out of town and it’s really important to find someone who has extensive knowledge in rental properties in the Austin area.  I am really glad to have Joe Gage as my agent.  He was very thorough in finding the type of properties that I was looking for.  He was very professional and helpful in the whole process.  I bought the single family home in 2014 which turned out to be a great investment.  I would highly recommend Joe if you are looking for a realtor.

I worked with Joe Gage of Crossland Properties to buy an investment property in Austin. The circumstances were extra challenging because I live in the UK and I was buying the property in my self directed IRA. Joe was patient, reliable and communicative in walking through all the specific requirements and constraints. I would highly recommend Joe for any real estate needs you may have. He is honest and straightforward and always keeps his clients needs as his priority.

He also found a reliable property manager to manage the property!

This is my fourth…yes, my fourth real estate transaction with Tara McGuire! I’ve used Tara to buy and sell our family home, and then again for  investment properties. Buying and/or selling a home today in Austin, TX can be very overwhelming, as this city is in such high demand and the desire for homes are outweighing the supply. Tara has been in Austin and in the real estate industry for over 20 years, so she is not only a top agent in Austin, she’s a local! There was never a question I had to ask because it was already answered. She simplified every complication, minimized every major detail and ensured that every base was covered. One of her greatest qualities is that she is far more than just an agent to her clients. She’s honest and goes above and beyond her role as a sales representative to ensure her clients are making sound decisions. She truly gets to know her clients and works tirelessly to find the perfect fit for their family.  Client’s  that work with her don’t just thank her and move on; they continue to have a longstanding relationship that includes forever having her in your corner for advice on any and everything Austin. She’s the definition of your superhero! Buying or selling is such an emotionally fragile time and Tara will hold your hand through it all. She will be your suit of armor and go to bat for you all through the county. Tara will continue working with you until you have exactly what you desire, while honestly telling you what you can and cannot afford, should do, shouldn’t do, need to do, etc. Home buying and selling is a stressful but exciting time and can make some people (like me) turn into a crazy person, but Tara will keep you calm and positive. Most importantly, she always works her magic and somehow, someway, she makes every part of the entire transaction perfect and you end up with way more than you wanted!

Steve Crossland is the best agent you could possibly ask for and here is why I feel this way; I live outside the Austin area so am unable to be onsite to meet in person and to make personal assessments of the property. Steve, performed an individual walk-through, provided photos, well written communications with clear assessments and the actions necessary to get ready to sell. Steve and his team of professionals managed every aspect and detail to include replacing flooring, a hail damaged roof, removal of a dead palm due to a freeze, and other maintenance items that in turn made the house an easy inspection and sell!!! Steve led me through the selling process like a champion coach! I am very pleased and highly recommend you work with Steve Crossland and his excellent team.

We worked with Vicki to help find our investment property in Austin. Even though I was overseas, she’s able to FT me to show me the house. Meet up with foundations contractor so we can get estimates, encouraged us to ask for credits, etc. it was so easy working with her that I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a house in Austin to call Vicki! 🙂

I have had the great pleasure of working with Lauren Yoder on selling and buying my investment properties. The team was professional helped me stage and get the place ready for a bidding war. They really navigated negotiating and closing with great experience. I have worked with Lauren 5+ years and will continue to be a customer for the years to come!

Buy & Sell Investor Lauren Yoder

Wife and I worked with Lauren Yoder on multiple projects – renting a home, purchasing a new build and selling our home.  She (and the team at Bramlett) are by far the most skilled, knowledgeable and helpful realtors I’ve ever worked with in my life.  They listened and also provided valuable insight during negotiations, contracts, taxes, etc. Honestly wouldn’t engage anyone else for real estate.

Investor Lauren Yoder

Austin was very responsive and helpful in finding me a good investment property. He was pretty accommodated to all of my asks and always kept me updated on the situation. Really appreciated!

Buyers Investor

Honestly, for me this is hands down the best real estate agency in the country. I’ve done 17 personal real estate transactions in many locations across many states and this team is the best by a mile and sets the bar very high. I’ve worked with Eric and Bailey and they both are a joy to work with, responsive, know this market inside out, never push, never encourage you to pay a higher price than necessary, and they get the job done. Plus they’re just super nice people. If only all realtors were half this good.

Adrienne Laosa is my go-to realtor in Austin. She’s helped me for years buying and selling investment properties and even my own house sale. I can check in with her when it’s time to increase rents and she’ll advise on what market rents are at that time. She even guided me on how to update my rentals to make sure I get the highest rent in the area. The last duplex she sold for me had multiple offers after one weekend, and it sold for $5000 above our asking price! I’m very pleased with her services and definitely recommend her.

I used Eric to buy an investment property. My third time using him and as usual, I was not disappointed. I find Eric very knowledgeable in the Austin real estate market and his advice in invaluable

Eric Bramlett Investor

Eric Bramlett’s company came to my rescue 2 years ago. I had recently purchased a very nice condo on south Lamar in a prime location. I was assured I would have no problem renting it. The first realtor told me she would not be available to show on weekends because of her busy social life. The second realtor after finding someone who moved out after the first month suggested that I 1) drastically lower the rent and 2) suggested I sell it for less than I paid for it 2 months earlier.
I contacted Bramlett and knew immediately that his company represented a different and much higher level of professionalism. They assured me that my investment was a good one and then proceeded to screen tenant’s and find someone suitable at my original asking price. I have stayed with Bramlett’s company through 2 other tenancies, and my husband and I have our other properties with him as well.
His company is solution oriented and his representatives can be counted on to give practical and realistic advice. The level of service is outstanding compared to my previous experiences. I can always either reach my representative or be assured of a timely return call. I can give the Bramlett company the highest recommendation to anyone who is considering it.

Eric is knowledgeable, dependable and no matter how many awards his business wins, you will get to hear directly from him. He is my most trusted person on my “team”. I have continued to work with him on buying investment properties and he’s always answers all my questions and eases any concerns I may have! Truly an asset for one of the biggest financial decisions you will make in your life!

Eric Bramlett Investor

I’ve been dealing with Eric and his team for 5+ years. After our first year, I’ve moved over all of my real estate investments to his team. He is an absolute pleasure to work with and provides a turn key level of support that is unprecedented among the (many) real estate agents I’ve worked with.

He is responsive, courteous, professional and most importantly, goes the extra mile to make sure things go smoothly despite the complex problems I throw at him.

Highly recommended and would encourage anyone seeking to purchase or have a property managed in Austin to work with Eric and team.

Eric Bramlett Investor

If you are buying or selling you should use Eric Bramlett !!! I have been in real estate for 35 years as a builder, land developer and 25 years as a Realtor (in Oklahoma) and I have never seen anyone as capable or work as hard as Eric. I employed Eric to help me sell an investment house in Austin. He not only sold it in 4 days for full price, he helped arrange the people I needed to do the fix up that was required. All of which were done in a timely workman like manor for a good price. His updates to me on the work and selling came continuously and without me having to ask what is going on. I have sent many of my agents to his web site to see what they could do to emulate his very successful methods. Thanks Eric we are using some of your systems!

Eric Bramlett Investor

I moved here with my family 10 years ago from Ireland, I am so grateful I met Eric. I bought two investment property with Eric’s help. Eric was invaluable to me helping get tenants and vetting them to make sure I got the right ones. He is a wealth of knowledge not only with real estate but his list of “fix it” guys for any problem that might occur in renal properties. This was a huge bonus to me, especially since I moved from over seas and were not familiar with the area.

Since then I have sold my properties and once again his professionalism and expertise got my properties sold in a very timely manor.

I will never use anyone else to buy or sell a house in Austin. His patience showing me around in the heat of Texas can only be admired, he never rushed me and his familiarity with the area made me feel very comfortable with my choices. I would highly recommend Eric as a realtor.

Eric Bramlett Investor

We were in the market for our first investment property and looked online for a good realtor, so we gave Eric a call. He was very approachable, and gave us all the details, provided some insight on investment properties and what to expect. He was able to meet with us on short notices as well. Overall I would highly recommend Eric for any of your realtor needs.

Vicki Duran! We worked with a few agents who made us go under contract prior to Vicki and were thoroughly disappointed. Vicki…however surpassed our VERY high expectations. We are on the west coast and Vicki was able to help us move fast on an investment property with multiple bids within 24hrs of closing on our very own new build. 2 homes within 48hours. Vicki is a seasoned Texan who is sharp, knowledgable, honest and hard working. She has earned our trust by clearly communicating and executing smoothly. She will have our continued business for the long term as well plan to continue to invest in Texas.

Investor Vicki Duran

Me and my wife’s interactions and process with Vicki Duran went quite smoothly. This was our first time investing in a property. Vicki was extremely helpful in helping us understand the process and what all we needed to do to prepare for the closing. I guess this is probably part of her job, but it meant a lot to us. She promptly provided responses to all our questions, as she understood that this was all new for us. She welcomed us to reach out to her with any questions or concerns we may have. I also think that without Vicki’s help and guidance, we would have felt pretty lost trying to understand all the different pieces of the process. We had a wonderful experience working with Vicki and wish her all the very best for the future!!!
