Our Reviews
My realtor was Tammy and we had a great experience. It felt that she wanted us in the home that is the best fit for us and felt that she was authentic and honest with us. We benefited from her experience and advice in avoiding places that wouldn’t have worked for my family and finding the place that checked off all our boxes. Thank you Tammy!
I cannot speak highly enough about the outstanding service we received from Kasey Gilliam and Kim Jowers with Bramlett Residential Real Estate during the recent sale of our home. They are a fantastic team! From our initial consultation to the successful closing, Kasey proved to be an invaluable asset, guiding us through every step of the process with expertise and professionalism. Kasey demonstrated an in-depth understanding of the local market dynamics and economic headwinds. Throughout the entire process, Kasey was proactive, communicative, and always available to address any questions or concerns we had. She provided regular updates and feedback that kept us informed and reassured, making the selling experience remarkably smooth. I wholeheartedly recommend Kasey to anyone looking for a top-notch real estate agent who truly prioritizes her clients’ needs!
Tara McGuire recently sold our house in Circle C and did an amazing job. She is so easy to work with, knowledgable, and responsive. I believe she got us top $$. Highly recommend working with Tara and her team at Bramlett! Their service was all inclusive with staging, marketing, etc. No nickel and diming. Just great service.
It was pleasure working with Tammy Costello from Bramlett Residential Real Estate in finding our home. We could not have imagined the process to be as seamless and easy as it was! As first-time home buyers, Tammy walked us through the process and guided us through each step. She is meticulous, has great communication and negotiation skills. With her help and years of experience, we were able to find our dream home. Thanks for making it so easy, Tammy!
I had the pleasure of working with Vicki Duran and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Vicki demonstrated deep knowledge of the market and a genuine commitment to understanding my needs. Her communication was exceptional – always prompt, clear, and informative. Throughout the process, Vicki went above and beyond, negotiating on my behalf, explaining the process/each step along the way, and ensuring every detail was taken care of. Her professionalism, dedication, and personalized approach was exceptional. She truly cared and I felt like I was working with a close family friend (having never met her before the process began). I can’t emphasis enough how seamless she made the process for me. People have the perception that buying a house is an extremely stressful process. My experience could not have been farther from the truth. I joked with her at times how smooth/easy buying a house was, all because of Vicki!
I could not have asked for a better agent. I’ve already referred a few friends to Vicki and will continue to do so in the future. Thanks again, Vicki!
Blessed to have connected with Kristen! I can’t say enough great things about Kristen. Her professionalism, market knowledge, and communication were beyond compare. She was incredibly patient throughout our home search. We looked at a countless amount of homes (we are very picky), and never once felt she was trying to push us in to something that wasn’t the right fit for the sake of a sale. We always felt she had our best interest in mind. Couldn’t recommend her more!!!
I was impressed by Sally’s expertise in selling both my investment property and my primary residence, and in helping us buy our dream home. At our initial meeting, we found Sally knew the real estate market, but found even more impressive her emotional quotient in understanding and navigating the differences between my partner’s and my very different personalities. For my investment property, she timed the showings and sale perfectly and created a helpful Excel spreadsheet comparing the many offers. She was also savvy enough to suggest we pay the tenants a fair amount of money to make the property available for viewing from 9am – 5pm on the first weekend to make it as easy as possible for potential buyers to get through, and we let her deal directly with the tenants because we could tell her people skills would serve us well
We got multiple offers by the deadline on Monday afternoon with one outlier that was $150K higher than what we had unsuccessfully listed the property for (with a different realtor) a year earlier!
When it came to selling my primary home, Sally’s expertise in the luxury market, and in historic homes in particular, truly shone. She understood that selling a high-end property, with various restrictions, required a different approach. Sally crafted a listing for the home that perfectly captured its unique character and premier location. Her marketing strategy was well timed and appropriate for the more limited market, attracting the right buyer pool and creating a sense of exclusivity around the property. She suggested listing it on the private market for a week or two before sending a message that it would be listed on the MLS. She organized private showings that allowed buyers to experience the warmth and charm of the home and the neighborhood, which I believe was instrumental in securing a sale.
The pricing and marketing strategy Sally recommended was spot-on, and we sold the home at a price that far exceeded our expectations. Sally helped thread the needle perfectly.
Sally is also accessible. We found more well-known realtors would respond to our email days later, whereas she was always available right away to answer my questions, and provided us with regular updates, making sure every detail was handled with care. Selling a high-end property can be a stressful experience with fewer potential buyers and some downtime inherent in waiting for the right buyer, but Sally made it a smooth and surprisingly easy process encouraging us to be patient while giving us enough information on what was happening to satisfy both me and my partner. In the end, we were thrilled with the results
Sally’s rep of us as sellers could not have been more professional, but her work repping us as buyers is the most memorable. We were trying to be our dream home in an overheated market, and Sally gave us advice that at each turn proved invaluable. She recommended offering just the right amount above the offer price for us to make it to the next round of offers. She handled a very difficult appraisal process by advising us on financing sources, even offering to help us put down a higher amount by loaning us money herself! We were able to finance the home without taking her up on that offer, but how many realtors make that kind of offer to their clients? In the end, we closed on the house ontime and ended up with the home of our dreams, thanks to Sally’s world-class advice and service.
We cannot say enough good things about Sally’s technical knowledge, people skills, and responsiveness. You won’t find a better realtor in Austin.
I have lived here in Austin for more twenty-five years, and have bought and sold several homes and rented others during those years. I have worked with five realtors during that time. SALLY IS BY FAR THE BEST OF ANY IN TOWN. Her work ethic is simply unmatched. She hides her competitive streak underneath a layer of Austin hip and friendly, but she will absolutely get you the best home, the best deal, and stop at NOTHING to get your home sold as well!
Sally loves real estate. She has a genuine passion for Austin, too, and for her client’s well-being. She took time to understand my needs and was always available to answer any questions and provide me with honest and insightful advice.
We toured many homes in Barton Hills and settled on a great home that was hotly contested by builders and homeowners. Sally understood how we could be the preferred buyer without getting into a bidding war. She knew the motivations of the Seller and we maneuvered and negotiated the contract and secured my dream home.
Furthermore, at the 11th hour, the day before we were set to close, our lender said we needed to put a fence around the pool before they would release the funds. The seller was not inclined to extend the closing again. We were out of town. Sally saved the day by racing to Home Depot and getting the largest tarpaulin available and then securing it over the pool at the house. Sent pics to the lender and we were set to close.
In short, Sally will work harder and smarter than anyone. She’s simply the best.
Sally is incredible! She spent nearly 2 years with us – understanding our very specific preferences and needs – to help us find our dream home. She was the first agent to reach out when the home was listed and negotiated the contract astutely so that we secured the home. The home was only in the framed stage, still had a few months until completion. Once it was completed, however, our plans had changed and we needed to get out of the contract. We were expecting to have to relinquish our very considerable deposit. But Sally spent the entire weekend working on a way to get us out of the contract AND get our deposit back. Everyone we have spoken to about this extraordinary outcome has been surprised that Sally managed to get our deposit back for us. Thank you Sally, we can’t recommend her highly enough.
Sally is reliable, diligent in her research, prompt on exchanges, creative in deal making, and has a tremendous work ethic. She is the sole reason we were able to close on our primary residence, which has been our dream home and a fantastic investment. From there, we’ve gone on to close on multiple rental property purchases in Austin together. Thanks to her astute analysis, we’ve passed on many deals as well, which has proven just as valuable. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Kiel has your BACK!! We are so grateful to have had his guidance and knowledge while navigating the intense, frustrating and way competitive Austin rental market. He quickly picked up on our taste and designed a game plan to help us push through the clutter and get to the properties that best suited us. He was ALWAYS available to us and answered our emails, calls and texts with great speed. We’re so grateful to have had him on our search team. Because my goodness, it really is a crazy market out there!
Kiel was amazing to work with! He walked us through everything, explained anything we didn’t understand, and he is is just a great guy to work with. As a first time home buyer, his knowledge was invaluable. 10/10 would recommend!
Kiel was referred to me by a friend, and we were so pleased with his services. He jumped in and guided us through the entire process, made himself readily available for us during the whole process, checked in with us via text every step of the way, and provided any and all information we requested. As a first time home buyer, I was not totally familiar with the process. Kiel helped me through the lending process, walk through inspection and closing procedures. It was such a pleasure to work with him, and we look forward to hiring him again when we purchase our next property.
I’ve never met anyone as knowledgeable and hard working as Kiel. Everything he said he was going to do, he did it. Kiel is a very easy person to get along with. He made us comfortable with the process and also made it fun. In 5 words…HE GETS THE JOB DONE!
It was great working with Kiel. He understood what we really wanted in a home. When it came to the process of the contract, it was obvious how knowledgeable he was. He did exactly what we wanted while giving great advice.
We had the pleasure of working with Will Mackintosh as our agent, and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the process was incredibly smooth and easy, thanks to Will’s expertise and professionalism. He guided us every step of the way making what could have been a stressful experience surprisingly enjoyable. Will’s attention to detail and dedication to finding the perfect property for us truly stood out. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent. I highly recommend Will and Bramlett Residential to anyone buying or selling a home in the Austin area.
Danny is amazing. We are first time home buyers and knew almost nothing going in other than what we could afford. Danny is patient and had references for mortgage companies, home inspectiors and specialty inspectors. He was able to negotiate on our behalf and guided us every step of the way from our staring offer to the day of move in. Didn’t matter the time of day, Danny was always available and made sure we understood everything we were signing. Buying a home is scary especially during pandemic but Danny made it seemless and went above and beyond to take care of us. Cannot speak highly enough of Danny.
Linda is very knowledgeable in the area and really helped me (out state buyer) to learn the important facts about the home locations that I was interested in. She provided great advice as part of the negotiation. She is very professional and dedicated to taking care of her customer. She even replied to one of my texts at 2AM in the morning! I highly recommend Linda if you are looking for a very knowledgeable and experienced agent who delivers results. After the closing date she is still following up with me to answer any questions and help me with finding services to take care of my new home.
We had a great experience with agent Kasey Gilliam, both coming and going! Kasey helped us find our lovely home five years ago, then helped us sell it again when we moved back east. She knows the market and has broad experience with Austin neighborhoods and homes. We trusted her advice — and she was always available when we had questions. She and her team kept our house safe and managed what felt like a million showings. We would happily work with Kasey again if we ever return to Austin, and are happy to sing her praises!
Carson was wonderful to work with. We worked with him during the holidays and we still got immediate responses from him. He helped us sell our home and purchase a new home. We’d pick him again in a heartbeat!
As a first time home buyer, Carson was the first real estate agent I’d worked with and I’m grateful for it! Carson knows this business extremely well, and it comes across in the first moment you speak with him. He’s an authentic and trustworthy advisor, a true professional .. you don’t meet many like this. Carson was excellent at explaining the complex details in ways I understood, as well as being a real negotiator on my behalf. Honestly I couldn’t recommend him more. Easily one of the best people you could work with in Austin.
Carson helped my husband and I purchase our first duplex in Austin, TX. As first time home owners we had a lot to learn and had many questions about the entire process. Carson was always very patient and answered all of our questions. He was never too busy to answer a call, reply to a text, or an email. His knowledge and experience about real estate made me feel very comfortable and to this day we continue to ask for advice and guidance regarding our purchase and future ventures. He was a pleasure to do business with and we will most definitely use his expertise again when purchasing our next property.
Carson helped me purchase a new home when I moved to Austin in 2012. Really liked working with him for these reasons: 1) followed through with his commitments and very responsive (e.g., would send information right away when he would say he would; dedicated several weekends to showing me homes etc.) 2) always felt he was my agent looking out for my interests – vs. others who are more interested in closing a deal and moving on to the next customer 3)and ultimately, was able to negotiate a deal for the house I wanted within my budget (and below asking price)
Carson knows the community very well. He went above and beyond in order to get me the most money possible for my sale. The entire process could not have been any easier. Carson provided me with suggestions for prepping my house for listing, and I feel like I got a nice return on the investment.
I can only echo the comments of other reviewers who agree that Carson is a quality person and an honest and knowledgeable realtor. Carson quickly zeroed-in on good choices in our modest price range and weeded out the marginal properties which suffered from subtle flaws. As an out-of-state buyer, I appreciated this efficiency and his low-key approach. With his help we quickly selected two small properties and he bargained hard for us. Everything went very smoothly through each closing.
I worked with Carson a few years back in Austin, It was lovely to lean on his expertise and not worry about a thing during my closing. Carson had my interest in mind first and foremost, anyone would be lucky to have him as a realtor either searching or selling a home in Austin Texas!
Carson was very professional and helpful. His competency is unmatched in my experience and I’ll definitely be using him for my future Real Estate investments.
Carson helped make our cross-country move to Austin go very well, especially since my husband had to move to Austin several months before the rest of us and I could not even be present to select our new home! Carson helped us identify the area(s) of the community that would work for our family’s needs and he helped us set an appropriate budget for our new home, since housing prices in this area are considerably higher than our former city. We had to spend more than we originally wanted but were still well below our loan threshold, which fits with our conservative approach to debt. Once we started considering houses, on several occasions Carson visited potential homes on his own to vet them for us due to my husband’s demanding schedule at his work. This helped my husband save time. For the short list, Carson and my husband connected with me via cell phone video to include me in the home showings in “real time.” Ultimately, the home we ended up buying was perfect for our family and was actually a good value even in today’s seller’s market. Carson also negotiated with the sellers to put on a new roof so that was an added bonus. Our family is very grateful to Carson for his knowledge and diligence.
Carson really took care of us. I regard him as an expert in his field. I had no stress about Carson, only the market fluctuations but Carson was always reasuring us. His negotiation skills are impressive. We sold our house and bought another all within a week. Carson was there the whole time guiding us and taking care of us ensuring everything worked out. Carson is on time for appointments always communicating status and ready to answer your questions. He became a friend and someone I trust.
Carson Gallagher at Realty Austin has been involved in every Real Estate transaction we’ve ever done over the last 16 years. We’ve bought 3 homes with him, sold 1, and rented another. We keep coming back because of his knowledge, but even more so because of the trust we have in him as an advisor. This last search started during the boom here in Austin. In the face of that market craziness, our target locations, priorities, and even our comfort level on prices fluctuated, sometimes week to week. Carson had immense patience in a search that took us all over the greater Austin area and went on for 5 months in earnest. He helped us dodge two different bullets, first when we fell in love with a house that had major issues he spotted for us, and second when we fatigued of the search and effectively settled on a house that wasn’t right for us. In both cases his advice kept us from making a very big mistake and ultimately led us to a place that we absolutely love. In the search before that, Carson helped us find a condo in about 3 weeks that we loved for 9 years. The length of this last search was truly a combo of the market conditions and our indecision. I cannot recommend him enough. He truly cares that you find a home that you are excited about. He really listens and works to understand what’s important to you. He has a good sense of when to step in and give advice, but gives you the tools to direct your search in the way you want. We’re thrilled with where we are, but if/when it comes time to buy or sell another property, Carson will be our first call.
