Tara McGuire
Tara was extremely helpful during our move. Trying to buy a house from another city proved to be quite a challenge but Tara made it effortless. Her knowledge and expertise on Austin real estate was spot on. I would highly recommend Tara and her team for any real estate needs you have.
My wife and I worked with Tara recently on a home purchase and she is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend her. This was our first house and she could not have made the whole process any easier. On a property that received 16 offers in 2 days, her knowledge of the area and what we should offer helped secure the house for us. She was also kind enough to recommend inspectors and other various vendors she had worked with in the past when the time came. We will definitely be giving Tara a call again when it is time for our next purchase!
My family was relocating to Austin and we were looking for someone to help us find the right spot for our family. My wife found Tara McGuire and what a job she did. I was in and out of Austin on business and working to prepare our family for the relocation and find the right home. Tara worked with my wife and I on finding potential homes that fit our families needs for commuting to schools, work, pleasure, and shopping in addition to a beautiful home and a nice neighborhood. Chauffeuring us on numerous trips and in depth research, Tara help us find the spot for our family and just in time for the start of the school year. She has continued to check on us and has assisted us in so many things that had nothing to do with real estate because that’s the type of person she is…….. when my wife and I become empty nesters, I know the first person to call will be Tara…..
We were lucky enough to stumble across Bramlett real estate when looking for our next home. Our home search began in late 2014 when Tara McGuire responded to an inquiry we had on a listing. She was immediately responsive, informative and really invested in helping us with the process. We were selling our first home and it was quite an emotional process that I don’t think we were really ready for. She was not only insanely patient with us while we looked at home after home, but she was also very supportive in helping us get our home ready for sale so we could get the best price the market had to offer. By 2016 we were finally emotionally ready to sell and our home was on the market for only 3 days. We received more than our asking price and everything went off without a hitch from the listing to close. I couldn’t recommend Tara highly enough for anyone’s real estate needs. Not only did we have the best agent, but I really felt like we had a great friend throughout the whole process. I wish I had another home to sell just to work with her again.
My siblings and I worked with Tara McGuire and Bramlett Real Estate to sell our mother’s home in Austin when she moved to independent living. From our first discussion with Tara, we were impressed with her experience, knowledge, and skills in regards to marketing a home. She and her team basically had the house sold before it went on the market. The home had good bones, but was old and not updated. We had three offers the first weekend and sold the home for our dream net price. Before the house went on the market, Tara used a personalized and private website with all forms, actions needed by her team and us, and checklists to assess what had been completed and what still needed to be accomplished. Her skills are the best I have seen, and my husband and I have moved and sold several homes in our lifetime. She was straightforward, honest, a woman of integrity, and a complete pleasure to work with. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!
My husband and I worked with Tara McGuire and can’t say enough good things about her! She is amazingly organized, knowledgeable, informative, and professional. And she’s nice! She genuinely wants you to get what you’re looking for and works hard to help make that happen as smoothly as possible. She is available around the clock and even weekends. She took us to see NINE houses on a Sunday because that was the earliest she could do it. And when none of those worked out she quickly acted on two more for us to see on Tuesday. Even when she wasn’t communicating she clearly explained expectations for when there would be time during the contract where we wouldn’t need to be doing much. She helped us find a home we absolutely love in Round Rock. We would enthusiastically recommend her for Austin and the surrounding areas!
We worked with Tara McGuire and Bramlett on our house purchase in Austin. I would highly recommend Tara and the rest of the team to anyone looking for a home. They truly went above and beyond my expectations. We had one sale fall through because of a failed inspection and Tara went right back to work for us. We were given sound advice throughout the process and ended up with a house we love a lot more than the one we almost bought to begin with.
In both cases we dealt with difficult sellers and Bramlett did the tough work negotiating on our behalf to make sure we got the house we wanted at the fairest price. As someone who does sales for a living I must admit we were probably tough buyers to deal with as we really stuck to our guns on what we wanted and Tara and company made it happen.
The marker is hot in Austin and a good realtor should have their finger on the pulse. Plenty of real estate agents around who really don’t know their stuff. This might be the biggest investment of your life and choosing the right agent is the beginning of making the best decision. I can’t say enough good things about my experience. Choose Bramlett and let a real pro guide you through the process.
Tara was awesome to work with. Being my first time to sell a house I was a bit uncertain on how the process would turn out but Tara took me under her wing and lead the way.
Tara and the Bramlett team were very professional, very organized, catered to my every need, and answered every question thoroughly. They were top notch from start to finish.
We put the my house in the market and in 5 days I already have an offer – full price. I highly recommend this this team and will get their service again in the future.
We worked with Tara McGuire who has been by far the best realtor we’ve ever worked with. We recently moved to Austin and had zero idea of where we should buy. Tara was incredibly patient and organized putting together a list of pros and cons on where to live based on where my husband and I were working. She is comfortable with all budget levels and goes to bat to get you the best deal. We ended up deciding to go with a new build and she went above and beyond giving us decorating advice when we went to our design appointments as well as exterior and interior add on advice. She has been a critical part to the process throughout all of the ups and downs of building a home; getting involved when things didn’t go the right way. We closed 2 weeks ago and she is still heavily involved giving us advice on where to go for all things house related. She has truly been a pleasure to work with and someone I can call a friend after such a long process.
We hit the jackpot when choosing to work with Tara M. at Bramlett Realty. Her excellent hands on approach made our transition from California to Texas effortless. Professional, friendly and efficient are just a few of the words to describe her. She was an absolute pleasure to work with.
Review from First Time Home Buyer
Tara McGuire is an excellent realtor and the best option for first time home buyers in the Austin area. Her contract knowledge, eye for detail, and honesty made the whole process a lot less stressful, especially in the tough Austin market.
If you’re a first time home buyer, I highly recommend working with Tara, she will walk you through the process (multiple times if you ask), walk through every detail of the contracts, help identify any red flags in the house or inspection, and will respond to your questions or requests quickly.
Her optimism and charming personality will instill confidence that you can and will find the perfect listing. In the end, she will work tirelessly to help you close on your dream home. I can’t recommend her enough.
Tara McGuire of Bramlett Realty handled the sale of my father’s house after his passing. She endured a six months wait while the garage and storeroom were emptied out. Due to the nature of the property (old house – prime location) she advised we not spend on any updates and just clean up. She had a plan and carried it through. When the property was ready and before going to MLS she was already getting offers. She listed on MLS for about 5 days and received 30 offers. She presented a list of carefully evaluated offers and we chose the one $165K over the asking price. Closing was in a few days and totally painless. Thank you, Tara.
We were new to Austin, new to Texas and having lived abroad for two decades, new to the process of buying a home in the USA. We had no idea what style of house we wanted, let alone what neighborhood would suit us best. What we had were a lot of unknowns. Nothing too daunting for Tara McGuire, though.
She went all out for us. And all about too- from Georgetown to Wimberley and everything in between.
Tara showed us many possibilities and even more patience. She listened- an art that few people have. Finally she came up with a gem of a house- just as we knew she would.
Tara instills confidence, pays attention to detail and thoroughly knows her market.
She is so much more than merely a realtor. She is a guide, a trusted advisor and simply put one of the most professional realtors it has been our privilege to meet.
I cannot say enough fantastic things about working with Tara McGuire at Bramlett Residential.
When I reached out to Bramlett via the online contact tool, I had already spoken with several realtors in the Austin area. My inquiries were met with lackluster responses, likely because my husband and I didn’t plan to purchase for several months. But when I contacted Bramlett Residential at 10pm on a weeknight, Tara called me first thing the next morning. She encouraged us to visit Austin soon, since we are relocating from Dallas, to get an idea of the neighborhoods and market.
During this exploratory trip, we felt no pressure to buy ahead of our schedule. She gave us a great overview of central Austin neighborhoods and helped us narrow down the best areas for us.
As we watched desirable properties sell in 1-2 days in our ideal neighborhood, my husband and I decided to offer on properties earlier than we planned. Tara helped us construct desirable offers that won the deal two-out-of-three times in multiple offer situations.
We offered and were accepted on a property that we expected to have some foundation problems. Tara arranged for multiple foundation repair experts to evaluate the property before the inspection and send estimates. When it turned out that the foundation was very severely damaged, we were able to walk away before the inspection, saving us the additional expense. I never felt pressured to continue with a purchase that turned out to require more than I felt comfortable taking on; in fact, Tara made sure that I knew exactly how much of a project it would be.
We are now under contract for our second property, past the option period, and closing is right around the corner. We are very pleased that we are ending up in our ideal neighborhood and in a house we love.
Tara is very prompt with email and texts, and she’s enthusiastic at every step. Be sure to ask her for vendor recommendations as well! She seems to know all of the best people for mortgages, insurance, and more-with the most competitive pricing.
I hope we stay in our new home for a long time, but we will definitely be using Tara for all of our real estate needs, as well as recommending her to everyone we know.
We were the pickiest buyers and it took us more than a year to find a house, mostly because we kept changing our criteria. Tara McGuire was amazing throughout the whole process, providing advice while at the same time being very understanding to our changing needs. With her guidance we finally found the right house for us!
It’s not always easy to find a realtor with the experience and knowledge that Tara McQuire has. I have had the good fortune to have her assist me on both selling and buying properties. This last purchase of a house in North Austin came with so many hiccups. Tara was excellent in handling of showing properties within the COVID guidelines, working with realtors, lenders, title company, City of Austin and the demands of the Seller. Tara has reached that point of excellence that you can only get with experience. There is nothing that could have been done better or more efficiently than what she did to make the sale go through. I cannot recommend her enough for all your real estate needs.
I couldn’t be happier with the service Tara McGuire provided on the sale of my father’s house. I reached out to her a while ago because he was having a very hard time figuring out what work would be worthwhile to do on it, and it was delaying the whole process. Being in his 70s, this whole thing was daunting to him.
Tara went above and beyond to put us at ease. She communicated with my father in a very clear and concise manner to avoid any confusion, answered all our questions and modeled some different scenarios, kept me updated throughout the process, and ultimately got the house sold very quickly for a favorable amount of money.
We are very glad to have found her and emphatically recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate.
We called Bramlett to sell our first home in South Austin. We had no experience selling, weren’t sure what renovations would get us money back, and just had a lot of uncertainty. Tara came over, looked at the house and gave us a really clear plan with options depending on how much work we wanted to put into the house. The timeline and sale price that she estimated for our house ended up being spot-on. We got lots of showings and a cash offer for our full asking price within 48 hours of hitting the market. Even the closing just flew by, it was so painless. We sold right at the start of COVID-19 and Tara helped us navigate all the needed signatures and things smoothly and with minimal in-person contact. I would absolutely recommend Bramlett and Tara!
We were so blessed to get Tara McGuire as our realtor. If I could give her more stars I would! From the first day we met I knew she was the perfect choice to work with to sell and buy our new home. She provided the right insight into what we needed to do to get our house ready to sell and at the same time helped us find a new house. Tara is phenomenal at her job. She walked us through every step, always available to answer my many questions, never put pressure on us but instead patiently guided us. I thought I was crazy to try to sell n buy a house right before the school year started but Tara and her amazing team handled everything behind the scenes. She made the whole process very smooth and stress free. She provided exceptional customer service! Was also so sweet to refer us to a great lender, and other businesses we needed. With her guidance and knowledge we sold and found our beautiful new home in a month.Look no further, Tara is the realtor You’ve been looking for
My realtor was Tara McGuire and she was wonderful!
I cannot thank them again for all of the hard work and fast response.
If you are willing to buy or sell in Austin/Round Rock or surroundings, make sure to contact them.
We were making one the most challenging moves of our lives, relocating from California to Austin. With no prior knowledge of the area or the market, we quickly realized that we needed a real estate professional. It was disheartening at first that some agents did not want to invest time in us when we were in such early stages of our decision making process, if we weren’t ready to buy right then and there- until we met Tara Mcguire of Bramlett Residential Real Estate.
She treated us just as importantly as a tenured client, taking us through the different communities with the amenities and price points. After shopping for a neighborhood, it was a matter of getting know our likes and dislikes which honestly took over a year with numerous trips in between. Throughout this time, Tara built a relationship with us of implicit trust that led us to finally purchasing home. She held our hand throughout the process and has provided excellent referrals for a lender, insurance, and may other services that we would have had to figured out on our own. We are very thankful for the commitment and level of professionalism that is demonstrated by Tara and is carried through the Bramlett team.
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!
We came across Eric Bramlett Residential Real Estate and Tara, one of the realtors on Yelp. They were super quick to respond to our inquiry and the only ones to actually have a realtor contact us from the start. Tara was there every step of the way during a new home purchase. She coordinated the inspections, and helped towards closing when we had some issues with the builder. We would definitely recommend Tara McGuire and Eric Bramlett Real Estate.
Working with Tara McGuire at Eric Bramlett Residential Real Estate has been a genuine pleasure! We are both buying and selling a home with Tara’s help and she has made a stressful process less so with her professionalism, care, knowledge and expertise. She and her team have walked us through every step, helping us make decisions, advocating for our need, and generally going above and beyond what might be required. We have moved into a beautiful new home and are working on getting our old home ready to sell. From vendor recommendations to help with staging, Tara has been there to ensure that we are going to get the best bang for our buck! I highly recommend Tara and her team.
I was very lucky to work with Tara McGuire.
This was my first time buying a property in the U.S. Tara was fantastic! She is super professional and she cares. We would visit properties and she would give me the pros/cons of each place like if she were going to live there. Her feedback was very honest and on point. Also, I asked her for recommendations (insurance broker, mortgage broker, etc) and everyone she suggested was a good referral. Tara knows the Austin market very very well, that helped because I knew what I wanted but didn’t have the market knowledge.
Months after my closing, the developer hadn’t complied with everything they offered. I reached out to Tara and she helped me solved the problem with the developer. So she will go the extra mile for you.
Now, I am working with her to buy my second property. The amount of value she brings is huge so I would only work with Tara while I live in Austin.
Great experience overall. I sold a rental property from out of state, and they took care of everything. Tara was very communicative, always quick to respond to texts/calls/emails when I had questions/concerns, and she always was very transparent and honest. I felt very comfortable with the entire process, and I also felt that with every decision and price during negotiations, I was given informed advice but I still had opportunity for my input in our decisions during the negotiating. Basically, the company and Tara made my entire sale-process pretty painless. I even went on vacation for a few days during the beginning of closing! Absolute 5-stars.
I worked with Tara McGuire at Bramlett on a property purchase in the Austin area. We are moving from California and didn’t really know the area. We are purchasing multiple homes for our own property, and for rental investments. Tara knows the Austin market VERY well and told us where we would optimize on our investments. She not only understands the purchase market, she knows strong rental markets and was very attentive to our needs and responsive to our questions. She handled our walk with our builder since I was in California, and connected me with a fantastic broker who bent over backward to get us the best pricing options too! If you are looking for a GREAT agent, Tara is your person. If you don’t believe me just look at her online feedback…..5 stars across the board. We will be leveraging Tara for the next property this summer.
My wife and I worked with Tara McGuire to buy our first home together. We started the search back in December 2018 and took six months to find the right home. During that six month period Tara never pressured us to pick a home. Best of all she is great negotiator when it comes to the contract. We definitely recommend Tara specifically and Eric Bramlett Residential generally.
Tara McGuire helped us with the sale of our home in Austin, that just sold recently. I am very pleased with her work.
The sale was a very challenging one, solely because a co-owner of the property made it difficult. Despite this, Tara stayed by our side and worked with us to get the house in top shape and prepare everything necessary to sell our house at a reasonable price. She worked with us for months and never gave up. We ended up selling the house for a great price because of all the hard work and persistence that Tara provided.
She really knows her stuff – she was able to give accurate prices for what the house was worth based on its condition. She made on-point predictions about how the sale would go based on the house’s properties. She also helped us determine exactly what needed to be done to increase the value of our home. Her husband Craig is also a fantastic contractor who helped us make ideal repairs on our home.
I really can’t thank her enough for all of her patience and hard work. She was very organized, articulate and punctual. I highly recommend working with her in the future for the sale of your home.
Thanks to Tara McGuire with Bramlett, we sold our house before it even hit the MLS! She had great recommendations on how to get our house looking its best with minimal investment and effort. Always responsive, Tara knows the market well. We appreciated her straight forward approach and sound advice. Our sale could not have gone any better, and we’re thankful for a stress-free transaction.
We worked with Tara McGuire at Eric Bramlett to sell our home in Travis Heights. Tara has a very honest and direct approach both with her clients and with other agents. She has a great sense of what improvements need to be made to make a home appeal to buyers. Her expertise about what are normal expectations when negotiating with buyers was pivotal in our sale, as well.
When our business was moved out of state and we needed to relocate before our home was ready to put on the market, Tara helped pick up a lot of the responsibilities and looked out for our home in our absence. We know that wasn’t easy, but she has great/affordable contacts and we were grateful for her support.
We will miss living in Austin and our wonderful home there, but we are thankful that we hired Tara. She made our transition out of state much more pleasant.
My boyfriend and I were first time home buyers, and new to the Austin area so we were a bit hesitant starting our home buying. We were set up with Tara and Andrew, and the experience was awesome! I really couldn’t imagine us getting through the home buying so quickly and (relatively) stress free without them.
Both Tara and Andrew were very responsive and available whenever we had questions or wanted to check out a property. We super appreciated Tara’s honesty when it came to home values. She steered us from an initial perspective house that we loved, but wasn’t a great value and ultimately, we’re sooo thankful that she did. We ended up finding a house a few weeks later that was better for our budget, and that we loved even more! We never felt pressured, and both Andrew and Tara were proactive and very communicative through the whole purchase process.
We strongly recommend the team at Bramlett Residential Real Estate, and will be back in touch when it comes time to sell :]
Tara McGuire handled the sale of our home based on the recommendation of a friend, and she more than exceeded expectations! Her diligence, thoroughness, and skill throughout the process led to our home being sold quickly and efficiently above the asking price. Highly recommend!
We worked with Tara McGuire to sell our rental house in Austin after we moved to Seattle. I expected it to be a difficult process since our tenants left the house in poor condition and we were 2500 miles away. Well, it actually ended up being a very pleasant experience. We met with Tara a couple of months in advance to formulate a plan and then her team began working immediately after our tenants moved out. They had the house ready within a couple of weeks and then it sold a few days later. I couldn’t be more pleased with the level of service!
