Our Reviews
We had a great home-buying experience with Tara McGuire! We moved from Tennessee and only had a few trips in which to find a house. She made the entire process easy. Tara really listened to what our requirements and wants were for our new home. She helped us every step of the way. I honestly am not sure I could have done this without her guidance. I highly recommend Tara for anyone looking to buy in Austin!
We were new to the Austin area and Googled real estate agents. We were fortunate to find Bramlett Real Estate. Eric met with us and decided to pair us up with agent Vicki Duran who lives in the Georgetown area. I respect the fact that Eric listened to us and what we were looking for and guided us to the agent that would best fit us.
We are retired but didn't want to live in a retirement community. We gave Vicki the things we really wanted to have in a home (3 bedroom, 2 bath, ranch style, gas range, built before 1998, and a medium size yard for a couple of dogs). She listened to every detail. She called us just a few days later and said, "I think I have the perfect house for you." We set an appointment to see it and sure enough - it was the perfect house for us!
Vicki helped us negotiate the deal and walked us through the entire process. She was so dedicated that she came to our final walk-thru even though she had knee replacement surgery just a couple of weeks earlier - what a trouper!
I would highly recommend Vicki Duran to help anyone I know with their next home purchase.
My realtor was Bailey. I bought a house one year ago, and it was one of the most wonderful experiences... Buying a house is no easy challenge, especially for a first-time buyer, but Bailey made me feel comfortable and knowledgeable along the way. We toured several homes together before I found "the one". Finding the time to view homes was easy, and I never felt forced or rushed.
Once I found the lovely home I wanted in South Austin (78748), she helped me make an offer and held my hand during the complicated processes of escrow. Thanks to her help we closed in less than 30 days! I honestly had no idea what I was doing, and I'm grateful for all her help. I have now lived here for a year and fall more in love with my house every day.
Austin Texas is the best. I highly recommend moving here and working with Bailey and Eric's team! I'm glad I did.
Eric and his team did a wonderful job guiding us through the process of selling our home. They were friendly and efficient and knowledgable. They made the experience much less stressful and we ended up with a good result thanks to them!
Eric is awesome!!! He helped us by our personal home 2 years ago, and since then he's helped us sell a condo, buy 3 more investment properties, and now he's helping us prepare one of the investments for sale. I can honestly say that he's the best agent I've ever worked with. He's sold more houses than anyone I've ever met and it definitely shows because he just knows a TON about Austin real estate, construction, selling homes, everything. Because I've worked with him so much, I could tell a million stories, but I'll make it short. He helped us buy our dream home and helped us negotiate the price down plus get a 5 figure concession during the inspection period. He sold our condo at list price in a week. He's helped us buy 3 investment properties that were all in multiple offers and we won them all. I could go on and on, but I'll just say this: If you want help with anything real estate related, call Eric. He's the absolute best. 5 stars all around - no, 10 stars all around!!!
I am moving from Bay area, CA to Austin, TX for a job and had an idea to buy and move. Found Eric Bramlett through the Yelp reviews, and clearly gave my requirements. Eric contacted me in the next few hours, and the wonderful Vicki Duran was assigned to me!
From then, till today there is no looking back, and we are happy first time homeowners now.
This is what we love about Vicki.
She patiently listens to you and your requirements, understands them and act on it immediately. Very much faster in emails(i am usually good at emails, but am jealous now!), and she does all the homework for you before even you go to the site to see the home. Like, talking to the vendors, giving recommendations, meeting the builders, getting better deals and what not. She was with us from the day we looked into the houses and till today asking about the family -- positive vibes, you know!
I would definitely, recommend this place and Vicki for my friends!
Happy recovery from your surgery Vicki hope to see you soon.
My son recommended Tara McGuire when I decided to buy a condo in Austin. Being a senior citizen, I have worked with the stereotypical real estate agent too often. Tara was a breath of fresh air. Never pushy, spent long days with me trying to figure out where in Austin would work for me and trying to decide how large a place I needed. She never complained, although I was not easy, often changing my mind. Tara is a rare prize and I enthusiastically recommend her.
We had our house listed with another agent for 6 months during one of the hottest real estate markets and could not get an offer. We approached Will Mackintosh, a member of Eric's team, about helping us sell our house. He was great and gave us all the help and attention we could ask for. We relisted the house and had a full price offer the first weekend back on the market. We are so thankful to everyone on the Bramlett team!
Wish I could give more than 5 stars!!! Tara McGuire was our real estate agent when we moved from Houston to Austin. We did not know what part of Austin we wanted to live in but had a list of "must haves". Tara set us up on her website that would send us alerts on homes that matched our criteria. When one house in particular popped up, I called her and said I need to see this house...Tara set up a showing and then facetimed us in Houston for our "tour". Tara went above and beyond, helping us every step of the way with our home buying process. She had to jump a lot of obstacles to get us in our dream home but she did!!!!! We are so grateful for her hard work, listening to our needs and being so patient as we were making our move to Austin. I highly recommend Tara for any real estate needs. You will not find someone more knowledgeable about Austin or real estate!!!
Eric Bramlett is the real deal - professional, intelligent, well respected in the Austin real estate community, and a genuine advocate for his clients. I give him and his team my strongest recommendation!
I am a first-time home-seller. Eric guided me through all of the big decisions that I faced every step of the way. I mean...every step of the way. His attention to detail is dialed in. He is spot-on with estimates/timelines for all of the expected and unexpected steps of the process. From inspections, design, to materials and subcontractors, Eric's knowledge and experience offered relief, guidance and accuracy. He responded very quickly to all of my hundreds of questions from the decision to sell, up through the closing date. He really knows this business and his experience shows through him and his team. He pays attention to details and is able to adapt to changing circumstances. Eric is hands-on, composed and confident. I highly recommend him to anybody looking to have a best-case scenario real estate experience.
My boyfriend and I just purchased our first home, and were so lucky to have been able to work with Lauren Yoder. I honestly cannot put into words how amazing Lauren is - we attribute the ease and success of this process entirely to her. As first time home buyers, we felt really nervous and in over our head at the very beginning. But from the moment we connected with Lauren, we felt more on top of the process, and excited to pursue our search.
We continue to be in awe of Lauren's wealth of knowledge, authenticity, and reliability. Above all else, we felt like we could really trust Lauren, and like she had our back throughout the process. She went above and beyond. Not only did she help us with the search (giving us a realistic idea of pricing / neighborhoods / old vs new homes, etc.), she was so helpful in walking us through the process of signing the contract and negotiating with the seller, and even reminding us of things like turning on our utilities and getting home insurance (going the extra mile of providing us with contact information and recommendations for those services!). I truly cannot think of one thing she could have done any differently / better.
I would HIGHLY recommend working with Bramlett Residential. Lauren was the absolute best agent we could have hoped for!
Will Mackintosh from Bramlett Residential helped us sell our home. Will wasn't overly salesmanlike or pushy when first meeting with us, and explained his agency's data-driven selling strategy in a lot of detail. He shared with us more information than we'd received from past realtors. Will was flexible in working around our schedule and updated us continuously throughout the process. Our house was listed for only four days before we were under contract with an offer just under asking price. We would list with Bramlett Residential in the future.
Eric helped us sell a house in 2014, buy a house in 2014, rent out a house in 2015, rent a house in 2015, & buy a house in 2016. So, I'd say we're repeat customers. :) He and his crew are fantastic. He's responsive, has great systems, is a smart guy, and is friendly. I always feel like he puts our best interests first. I'm sure we'll use him again and I'd recommend that anyone looking for a good realtor in Austin give him a call.
I cannot recommend Bramlett Residential enough, especially Lauren Yoder. My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of working with her to buy a new home in south Austin, and she brought so much to the process. Her knowledge of the Austin market, and home-ownership in general, really made the process so smooth. She had an answer for every question we asked. She was very communicative, and laid out all the steps for us along the way so we knew exactly what we should and should not be doing. She even helped us come in well below asking, which is a Herculean accomplishment in the Austin market. If you're looking for a home, please call Lauren. I promise you won't regret it.
Tara McGuire was our buying realtor. We were first time home buyers, and pretty nervous. Tara patiently answered all of our questions, took us on tours, and helped us through the entire mortgage process. She was there 100% for anything we needed. I can honestly say that we couldn't have possibly had a better experience! Thank you Tara for all of your patience and understanding! Your connections and knowledge made everything so easy for us!!
Tara McGuire out of the Austin office was my real estate agent for selling my Austin condo. I was very unsophisticated about the process. Tara and her great team led me through it with kindness, patience, and efficiency. We finished the deal quickly and successfully!
Took a huge risk in Austin real estate and picked them by chance.
Worked out smooth for us; a rarity in today's world. Great team to work with here; Competent, persistent and professional.
Vicki Duran and the Eric Bramlett team have been tremendous to work with. Vicki supported us with long hours of house hunting all the way through to our closing. Her dedication to making certain our needs were exceeded was amazing and it was truly a pleasurable experience. I recommend the Bramlett team and specifically Vicki to anyone relocating to the Austin area.
Me and my husband got the opportunity to work with Bailey Moran at Brammlett Residential. Buying a house (especially if it's your first one) is really scary and overwhelming! So it is important to work with the right real estate agent! We literally weren't sure what we wanted and we didn't have a car then. She picked us up each time to show us all around Austin area without any complaints during such a difficult time (2020-covid19). Our lease was ending and we had a tight schedule to find a house we really love. However, Bailey made this stressful process as easy and fun as possible. She was always available to view any property within 24 hours. She is very knowledgeable, professional and on top of all that absolutely down to earth and such a sweetheart! She is also very honest, so be ready to hear warnings from her about the houses you actually fall in love with! Thanks to her, not only we now have the best house we could have ever asked for and actually were ready to pay the whole price, but she also negotiated 30k discount from the listing price!
I couldn't recommend you enough how great and easy this experience was with Bailey as well as the entire Bramlett team.
I have been working with Eric and his team since past 3 years and they have been awesome. I had purchased house in Austin and had an issue with another agent and then we contacted Eric and he was really calm and helpful. He came out of his way to help me out and also provided lot of guidance and helped me my house purchase smooth. In addition to this, his team have also helped me a lot manage my rental property in Austin. I am based in California and never had to worry about it. He and his team took really good care of it. He was very patient, professional and extremely helpful. Would really recommend his whole team.
Bailey Moran was the perfect agent for us! She was extremely knowledgeable about EVERY neighborhood in Austin and completely tailored our ideal, living situation. We wanted a safe-kid friendly neighborhood in our budget and Bailey delivered! As far as her insight on Austin she was on top of it! We're not from Austin and it was important for us to find an agent who could help us navigate the area whether it came to schools, night life, entertainment, etc. Her expertise and 10 year experience made us feel at ease and comfortable throughout the entire home buying experience. Bailey was always available to take calls and emails. We don't live in Austin so it was nice to have Bailey do all the legwork while we "virtually shopped" for houses. Not only did Bailey find the perfect house for our family she has a fabulous way of negotiating with all parties involved in the home buying process. Bailey was honest with us about everything and was always right on the money as far as how to go about "offers, inspections, etc." Bailey is a hardworking, kind and most of all trustworthy agent. She listened to what our needs were and more than exceeded our expectations.
I wish there were more than 5 stars on YELP, because these 5 stars won't seem enough for Eric and his team. We hired Eric back in 2014 when our house was sitting in the market for more than 3 weeks in a HOT Austin market. Eric came in, explained us the process and we went back in the market within 2 weeks. Our house was sold in less than a week. Again we went back to Eric in 2014 for renting our house and buying a new one. Our house went on rent in a day and with the new house he made sure builder gave us the best incentives and guided us through out the building process with inspections and all. Over the years Eric has become a trusted advisor for us on any real estate matters. He helps us extending the lease on the rental property without charging a penny.
In one sentence, Eric is THE best realtor in Austin and ranked #1 by Austin Business Journal for two years in a row. The best part is the customer service that he and his team provides, always going above and beyond. I would recommend Eric Bramlett and his team for any real estate needs in Austin area.
We did our research before selecting an agent to represent us in selling our Austin house, and we're very glad we went with Eric. He and his team are a pleasure to work with. He is very knowledgeable, personable, professional, and responsive. We would work with him again and highly recommend him.
Tara McGuire brokered the sale of my home quickly and professionally. She told me what to expect at every turn and found a solution for any problems that arose. I appreciate all of her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Austin area.
As a first time homeowner, I was really lost on where to start (and being from out of state, where to look). I ended up having Vicki reach out to me through Zillow or Homes.com on a house I was interested in viewing. She was quick to respond to my questions and provide options based on my preferences without being pushy. I ended up finding my house on my first trip out and walked me through next steps.
She got me in contact with a local lending office and took care of all of the busy work. In less than one month I was signing the papers and in my new home.
Vicki is very personable, is happy to put you in touch with people who have the same work ethic, and makes sure you're being taken care of. Very low stress and incredibly happy client!
What amazing and lovely people to work with at Eric Bramlett Real Estate! Every thing from staging to closing went smoothly. Great people who really listen to you and keep up with the every-changing market in Austin.
We couldn't have been happier with Tara McGuire and Bramlett for our first home-buying experience! Tara is extremely organized, uber-responsive, and has this process down - all of which made me feel very confident from the start. Plus, she's super friendly and fun to hang out with while looking at houses. She turned around our offer in less than 24 hours (!) and when it was accepted she had her inspector there the next day; she even called her foundation expert for a second opinion. In the meantime she gave us her top recommendations for lenders and insurance (all of whom were great). She thinks of everything and is well-connected. The process really couldn't have been smoother from start to finish and I know it is ALL thanks to Tara. I highly, highly recommend her!!
Lauren Yoder, our agent, is incredible. We have worked with Lauren two times. Once to sell and once to buy, and we could not be happier. Lauren is smart, organized, knowledgeable and professional. If Lauren can't make you a "happy camper" it can't be done. Steve
I called Eric after having my wife research the best Austin Realtor's through sales ranking and user feedback. Eric Bramlett and Bramlett Residential not only received consistent yearly accolades and high rankings with the Austin Business Community, but the hundreds of Google, and Yelp reviews my wife went through showed a common denominator: Eric and his staff were highly engaged, used up to date marketing tools, and were communicative with their buyers and sellers.
My sister and I had inherited a property in a dynamic but cooling market. Through transparent research, Eric suggested a well considered listing price related to the condition and age of the property that allowed for a quick sale. We received multiple offers that ultimately drove up the price because we were priced right to begin with. Eric himself was approachable, extremely knowledgeable about the Austin market, and stayed in contact with my sister and I/ or was available during the whole sales process, from start to finish--especially the rough patches. I am a broker myself (DFW area), and appreciate his thoroughness with detail and yet never losing site of 'the big picture.' Without exception, I would highly recommend Eric and Bramlett Residential!
Hey Eric, I cannot speak highly enough for Bailey and her work to not only find us the perfect home but also her skills in negotiation to get us our perfect home for the very best price. Bailey was there 24/7 to answer any questions I had. She was also on top of every part of the process, contacting other parties making sure everything was getting done. I can easily say Bailey will be our life long agent and will also be our only recommendation to others. During these stressful times Bailey made it so much easier for us. Can't thank her and your team enough! I give the process 11 out of 10!
Tara McGuire and the fine folks at Bramlett were amazing during the sale of my mother's house. There was no pressure to go under contract to list the house before we were ready. Once under contract her team kept me informed of the process and most of the paper work was done electronically which was a time saver for me. Tara provided lists of contractors to help with some of the work we needed done before listing. Throughout the process including closing, Tara was respectful and compassionate and flexible. Even after we closed and when all was said and done, Tara helped me out with other paperwork I needed to get together. I definitely will use her for any future real estate needs!
Ok, I don't really leave reviews... like ever, but Bailey did such a great job I feel like I need to say something. We were moving back to the US from out of country and were entirely new to the Austin area. We didn't know anyone here and honestly felt a little lost and upside down. Bailey was the first person we met and she gave us hope we'd meet some other great people here with her friendliness and professionalism. We were on a tight schedule to find a home before our 6 weeks of AirBnb's ran out. So, we needed something fast. Bailey listened to what we wanted/needed and found us the perfect house in an area we love in just a couple days. She did all the scheduling for us and made viewing the homes really easy. In the end, she found us a house that hadn't even hit the market yet (it was going to be listed the next day), but we liked it so much we put an offer in and snatched it up before anyone else could. Sorry y'all, we got to it first! :) After that we had a couple questions on all the closing docs we had to fill out (we owned our business) and she helped us with everything we needed to get us through the closing process. Great agent. Great experience. I would definitely recommend her and Bramlett to anyone.
When we were looking to purchase a home and coming from out of the state, our close family friends recommended we work with Kasey Gilliam. She came highly recommended and after our experience with her we now understand why! She was very responsive, helpful, and knowledgeable about the Austin area and the towns around Austin. Being out of town and only having a couple of days to find our dream home we had to rely heavily on Kasey's expertise. She had expert insight and excellent negotiation skills. Even with a highly competitive market we were still able to get a good deal and we are more than happy with the house that we purchased and with the entire experience with Kasey leading way.
Tara McGuire is an amazing agent! My husband and I have purchased two homes with Tara's assistance within 18 months. I can honestly say they were both very easy experiences. We have even referred her to several friends, as well. Tara is very knowledgeable, detail oriented, organized, and professional. She makes herself available to her clients around the clock and helps manage every detail. I can't recommend her highly enough.
Will was very friendly and helpful in sending us much information and helping us navigate initial house hunting and lenders in Austin. He was very responsive by phone and e-mail with our many questions. A great fit and highly recommended.
I owned two homes in Round Rock and did on line research and reached out to top rated agents. Eric responded almost immediately and followed up with data shortly thereafter.
We spoke two more times and my wife and I made a decision to list with him before any other "top rated" agents even got back to us. One of my BEST decisions ever. He followed through on every aspect and assisted in notifying existing tenants, helped with all phases of the reconditioning (helped pick out carpet and flooring) had get contacts to get the work done, got the proberty listed quickly with great pictures, kept us informed on a regular basis etc. We were 1500 miles away but felt like we were selling the house around the corner because we were kept so informed. The first home had multiple offers and sold in less than 30 days and the second home had multiple offers and sold within 45 days. We have bought and sold many homes and after the sale of these homes my wife commented that we may have difficulty ever dealing with another realtor because no will be able to meet the standards and results like Eric and his team. I am not an easy person to please and don't usually rate transactions etc but Eric is an unbelievable professional and he is the only realtor I would ever use in the Austin area.

We recently moved from Chicago to Austin and I did an internet search on real estate agents and found Eric Bramlett's firm and sent a general e-mail requesting information and help. Within a day, I received a call from Ashley Vavasour and off we went. From the first time we talked she was super helpful and she listened to what we wanted! We went back and forth via calls and e-mails, looking at listings and discussing various neighborhoods, pricing, schools, etc. etc. It was all very helpful. By the time we came to visit and look for houses, she had plenty of listings for us to see. By the end of the weekend we were ready to put a contract on a house and she made everything very easy for us. She was there during the entire purchase process and helped out as we needed and is still helping us as we settle into Circle C. We highly recommend working with Ashley.
We were first-time homebuyers and our friends who had worked with Lauren Yoder before highly recommended her. Lauren was a dream to work with and the whole process went really smoothly because of all the hard work that Lauren did behind-the-scenes on our behalf. She made every interaction that we had with the other parties involved as painless as possible, and always had a smile on her face.
We had a great experience with Lauren from the start. I think that Lauren listened really well to our wants and needs, and she delivered on most of the properties that we viewed. She had her ear to the ground and even showed us a property that hadn't gone on the market yet, and it was nearly perfect. When it came to the property that we finally decided on, we felt that Lauren wasn't just our agent, she was an advocate for us and was instrumental in negotiating an arrangement that worked for both the sellers and us. Other than that, I really appreciated her patience in explaining various aspects of the process to us, her candor about what seemed like market value for any properties, and her diligence in curating listings that would appeal to us, by again, taking feedback from each property we saw. Despite the various hardships involved in buying a place in these uncertain times, Lauren always seemed on top of it all and things just went really smoothly. All in all, Lauren was amazing, and we would highly recommend her to any of our friends if they were in the market to buy a property.
If you're in the market for a new home, seek Lauren out. We're so thankful to her and she's awesome!
Tara McGuire was great in helping me locate and purchase a home in Sun City. She found the location, participated in selecting the lot and selections for building the home. It turned out wonderful and exceeded my expectations. I am very grateful to have an experienced and trained realtor available for the transaction. It was easy to rate the experience and Tara as 5 star.
Tara Mcguire did an outstanding job in listing my home for sale. She identified where improvements were needed and staged the home for maximum appeal. She did some pre-marketing and sold the home in just one day. Then expedited the closure to meet my timeframe. It was a great experience in the process selling a home.
If you're looking to buy or sell a home, you need to call Tara McGuire with Bramlett Realty. I've never had a real estate sale go so quickly or smoothly. She handled everything professionally and with a personal touch. Everyone at Bramlett was helpful and Tara was a pleasure to work with on what is normally a stressful event.
My husband and I recently purchased our first home with the help of Kasey Gilliam. As stressful as buying a home can be, Kasey made the process go so smoothly. We had 1,000 questions and Kasey answered them all (some of them probably more than once!). She was helpful every step of the way - from walkthroughs to closing. We are so satisfied with our new home and highly recommend Kasey!
We moved to Georgetown in July from out of state and had lots of questions about the region and the housing market. We were very impressed with Lauren Yoder. She was very knowledgeable and quick to answer or return phone calls. She guided us through the process seamlessly. As soon as we raised a question about any part of the process she explained or if anything needed made phone calls seeking clarification from others.
Lauren helped us complete the purchase of our house while closing from over a 1000 miles away. She sent us video of the walk thru prior to closing, and made smooth a variety of issues. I would strongly recommend her to anyone selling or buying real estate.
We LOVED Kasey Gilliam and would (and have!) recommend her to anyone in need of a realtor. She was truly amazing...so easy to work with and certainly went above and beyond for us. She worked tirelessly days, nights, weekends, and even holidays to help us. The transaction went very smoothly because she had prepared us for each step and coordinated everything. Kasey was always looking out for our best interest. I would not have changed a thing and am just so thankful we had Kasey on our side.
