Our Reviews
We worked with Vicki Duran to purchase our first home. We chose to go with her after speaking with several other realtors and we're glad we did. As first-time buyers we knew nothing about the process and Vicki helped us navigate every step of the way. She was extremely professional, knowledgeable, thorough and generous with her time. After living in apartments for years we were anxious to own and saw more than 40 homes over the course of a few weeks. Vicki was always up to the challenge! Whenever we needed her for questions or guidance, she was available. The home buying process was way less stressful than we thought it would be and we have Vicki to thank for that.
Carmen and I worked with Tara McGuire as a seller agent for the last 3 months. In all, we have had the pleasure of Ms. McGuire as our agent and can't think of a better, more qualified real state agent to work with on residential homes.
Ms. McGuire demonstrated her commitment, strong professional business background and mutual respect attitude from start to end of this real state experience.
My wife and I worked with Vicki Duran as our realtor and wow she was great to work with! She was very personable , knowledgeable, and helpful along the buying process. As new home buyers with no experience she took us step by step through the process and made it seamless. She was quick to respond and follow up on pressing issues for us. Also you can tell she loves being a buying agent and is passionate about helping people finding the right home. We 100% recommend her and Bramlett Residential.
We worked w/ Will Mackintosh from Bramlett Residential to relocate from California to Texas. Being from out of state, the task seemed daunting at first. We primarily collaborated w/ Will over email + phone to plan our trip. We used the MLS search to refine and iterate on our requirements. In the end, the hard work paid off -- Will helped us land our house in northwest Austin on a single trip!
Overall the transaction went very smoothly and we very much enjoyed working w/ Will. Keep up the good work!
My husband and I worked with Will Mackintosh for the purchase of our first home. We were so impressed with how thorough he was with his research and how responsive he was with our calls and texts. When it came time to move again we did not hesitate on calling him to help with the whole process again.
My experience working with Bramlett Residential could not have been any better. Our realtor, Craig McGuire, was fantastic to work with. As first time home buyers, we had a million questions, and Craig was able to answer every one of them. He has a vast knowledge of the industry, and brought up so many good points that we wouldn't have thought of on our own. I could not speak any higher Bramlett or Craig. Highly recommend.
Kristin Wellborn was awesome! We found a home we liked while on vacation. When we returned late on Sunday, we asked her to schedule a showing. She did a late evening showing with us THAT SAME DAY and then followed up on Monday morning at like 7am! She was super responsive at every step of the buying process, always reachable by phone, and willing to go the extra mile in explaining or negotiating with the selling agent. I would recommend her to friends and family any day, and plan to.
My fiance and I worked with Craig McGuire from Bramlett Residential and are so happy in our new home! As first time home buyers, we both had tons of questions and Craig really helped guide us through the process and answer any questions we came up with. Craig was always quick to respond to all my texts and emails and was able to schedule home viewings on short notice when a new listing popped up. He has so much knowledge of the Austin market and home construction that I felt very confident throughout the whole process. He is very easy to talk to and I never felt like I was not his top priority. If you are looking for an agent, I highly recommend Craig McGuire!
Last week I closed on the purchase of my home in Northwest Hills. This is the Fourth time I have used Bramlett Real Estate, First time using Kasey Gilliam- and could not have been happier. Kasey has been one of the best agents to work with.
As this purchase was made through the COVID period, and inventory slowly coming to market, Kasey was especially wonderful and patient with the search.
Kasey's intimate knowledge of the Northwest Hills area was extremely helpful as we were able learn about properties early, develop strategies and plan accordingly. She focused on me as a customer and was very honest many times when she thought something was not a great deal, and would listen to my concerns about each property.
After months and months of looking - we finally found a perfect fit and she guided us through the closing and got us a great deal. She found us the best surveyors, financing, inspectors and anyone else we needed to get us the best deal.
At the end of the day Kasey is an amazing realtor, she was always available, and her team is an amazing asset to have as you look to buy or sell a home in the Austin area. I would recommend reaching out to anyone on her team.
I have absolutely nothing but positive things to say about Kristin Wellborn! She made this transition from Oregon to Texas seamless. My husband and I have bought and sold a few homes in Oregon the past 7 years, and moving out of state was easier than those transactions were, and that was all thanks to Kristin. She has a way of balancing being professional, incredibly responsive, so helpful, and also extremely caring the entire time. My husband and I will 100% be calling her again when we decide to move to a different home in Texas. Kristin is absolutely hands down one of the best realtors we've ever worked with.
Kasey Gilliam with Bramlett Residential recently helped us with buying a new home in Central Austin- she was fantastic! Kasey is knowledgeable, thorough, patient, and kind. We looked at a lot of homes and she always made herself available, was on time, did her homework, and had a great attitude. We had a hard time finding our dream home and even made offers on two other homes - Kasey did all of the work, and went above and beyond so many times for us. Kasey knows Austin neighborhoods well, has a ton of experience, and she was very caring toward us and our two small kids to ensure we found the right home. From day 1 through closing - and even after, she was wonderful! I highly recommend Bramlett Residential and Kasey Gilliam.
This was my first time buying a house and I have to say Jeff was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and helpful in finding my perfect home. Jeff was also very patient with me, who I’m sure drove him crazy with all my questions and concerns. Not only is he a wonderful realtor, but he is a wonderful person too. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to purchase a home.
Shaun is excellent. He is very knowledgeable and trustworthy. As a first-time home buyer, I felt the process of buying a home was surprisingly smooth. He was always readily available and answered all of my questions. I also felt he genuinely was looking out for my best interests. I highly recommend Shaun
We are so glad that we found Shaun and incredibly grateful for his guidance in helping us purchase our first home. Throughout the process he was always very responsive and willing to look into every question or concern we had. Coming from out of state, it was important for us to work with someone knowledgeable and trustworthy who knew the Austin market well, and Shaun was the perfect guy for the job. He definitely understood which factors were important to us and was always very respectful of our preferences. Thank you Shaun!
Shaun was a great real estate agent. He was knowledgeable , patient and accommodating while I was looking for my first home. He gave me sound advice throughout the process and was consistent in keeping my best interests as the priority. I will absolutely be using him in the future as well as recommending him to my friends and family.
Working with Jeff was a fantastic experience. He was always very quick to respond and dedicated many weekends to us while we slowly chose a place to settle down in. Our first home buying was very overwhelming and we were glad to have Jeff by our side. I would highly recommend going with Jeff as your realtor
We built a new house in Dripping Springs and Bailey Moran was fantastic! She guided us through the entire process and answered many questions for us. She handled all of the issues that came up with the builder and got them to work it to our favor. Bailey took the stress out of buying a home. If you are looking to buy/build a home then I highly recommend Bailey because she was there to handle the entire process for us from beginning to end.
We recently sold our first home and we could not have done it without Will! He came prepared with comps and armed with information to start the process of selling our home. Within the week we had professional photos done and the house listed on every relevant website. He hosted an open house and within hours, our house was under contract. We had some unforeseen issues with the home that we were unaware of but Will came through in a big way and had our house under contact the same day of the first one falling through. He worked quickly and efficiently to make sure we had the best deal possible. We never felt pushed or rushed, just informed. Every step of the way Will was there to provide us with answers and reassure us when we needed it most. Choosing Will was an easy choice and if we are ever in the market for a home in Austin, we will contact Will in a heart beat! An easy 10/10 for us!
We would absolutely recommend Kristin and Bramlet Residential!
Our home buying journey began in June of 2019, passively looking at homes in Austin but unsure of how serious we were. We had just moved from Boston, MA and were still getting settled in Austin, but had a feeling this was where we wanted to lay down roots. As we inquired about a home we received a reply immediately from Kristin.
From there, we had our initial meeting, explained to Kristin the area and types of homes that were appealing to us. Kristin listened, took our feedback, gave us some great insights on the market, housing styles and locations and showed us three different styles of homes to get our reaction to each one (very insightful!). Unfortunately, since we were in Austin for less than a year, we decided to give ourselves a bit more time. Through the course of the next year Kristin would check in from time to time to see how we were doing. Many realtors would identify that we were not motivated and move on. But not Kristin! She was patient and responsive no matter what.
Fast forward to July of 2020. Now just over a year and a half in Austin and we knew this was the place we wanted to be. Once again Kristin was responsive and ready to meet us right away to start looking at homes! We toured multiple houses and she was able to answer any and all questions. Each time she was professional, fully prepared and easy to talk to!
When we found our home, she helped us with the offer terms and gave us great coaching throughout the process. Unfortunately, some things fell through and we decided to not move forward. While many realtors may be frustrated with the back and forth, Kristin went above and beyond through the entire process while maintaining a great attitude.
Then finally, after much searching, we found the house that we can now call OUR Home! Kristin once again coached us through everything, and was there every step of the way until closing. Thank you Kristin (and Bramlett Residential) - we will definitely be working with you in the future!!
We had Tara McGuire previously assist us with buying our first house and could not have had a better experience. So of course 3 years later when we wanted to sell it and buy another house for our growing family we reached out to her again. She helped us through the stressful and unusual obstacles during these times and was there by our side to help and support us. She was able to use her experience, expertise and personal touch to sell our house and get us in our new home. Needless to say if you need a realtor you should go with Tara.
Linda Baddour assisted my husband and I in buying our first home. As first time home buyers we had A LOT of questions. Linda explained the process to us step by step from beginning to end. She showed us all available homes on the market so we could get a feel for exactly what we wanted and how much homes were going for. She was patient with us and very knowledgable on all the aspects of the home buying process. We ended up going with a new build and have never been happier. I highly recommend Linda to help you find the home of your dreams for the best price.
Will Mackintosh was an absolute godsend for us while selling our home in Austin. We were newer to the area and didn't have a great feel on pricing, process, or things to watch out for. He and the Bramlett team made everything SO EASY, and saved us thousands in avoiding common pitfalls. Will was ultra-responsive and moved as fast as we needed him to. I could not recommend this team more.
If you are searching for assistance with finding a place to reside, or are out to purchase a home, look no further than Linda Baddour! From finding us our first apartment together all the way to finding us our first home, Linda was there every step of the way. I honestly can't say enough about how helpful, patient, and knowledgable she was through it all! Not only was she able to help us understand all of the confusing details that come along will buying a house, but she walked us through the process from start to finish with our success and best interest as the main goal. I would highly recommend her assistance and expertise to anyone in need a hundred times over! Thank you Linda! We are forever grateful for all of your help!
We loved having Kasey Gilliam as our realtor! As first time homebuyers, we had a lot to learn about the process and Kacey was informative and helpful the whole way through. She was easy to communicate with and always available to answer questions or go see houses. She was patient as we looked at house after house until she helped us find our perfect home! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the Austin area!
This was our second time working with Tara McGuire - this time buying and selling. We were really nervous to buy and sell during the pandemic but Tara made the experience fun and honestly feel very normal. Tara was so professional and used all Covid safety protocols to ensure our family was safe. I have to give kudos to Tara's negotiating skills as this is the second house we have bought in a multiple offer situation and both times we have come out on top. Tara does a great job being available and guiding you through any questions you may have to make you feel extremely informed and secure in your purchase. Looking forward to working with Tara again in the future!
Craig McGuire was more than amazing. he's the complete package. quick, responsive and gets the job done. responds at all times of the day and weekends as well , we were really impressed with him. will definitely use him again in the future if buying additional homes. referred him to family members and he found their dream home as well within days and they were also equally impressed. looking for a realtor, look no further!
Tara McGuire has been an amazing Realtor for me! I really can't say enough good things. She worked with me to sell my house and buy another one. First of all - selling. I could tell from our initial meeting that she has all of her ducks in a row and thinks of everything. She has a ton of experience and she has a great team who help to support her success. She also is in the loop with contacts for other vendors (home improvement, financial related, etc.) that ended up being important with getting the house ready and actually crucial during the option period for the buyers (an impartial foundation assessment company). I was really impressed with the stager I had access to, and the professional photos of my house were fantastic (both no additional cost for me). Now, buying. I've had some twists and turns on my wish list and buying process but Tara has been patient with me and seems to have endless energy with marathon house tour days. I toured some open houses on my own as well, and one of the agents hosting an open house knows Tara and couldn't say enough good things about her, which reassured me even more than I already knew I made a great choice. One thing that struck me is that she said Tara has a lot of great systems and processes in place and I totally see that. Now we are under contact for our new house, which we are really excited about, and will close this week! I loved that she is taking care of everything for me - she even scheduled the inspection and told me to show up at the end. One thing that I really noticed is that she knows what to say and when. For example, she recommended we go out of town the weekend we listed the house for sale. She gave me a couple interim updates and told me when I got my first offer (plus I had access to the system that records the visits) but basically didn't worry me about anything until we got all the offers in (7!) and presented which one was best and why it was best. On the other hand, when I was buying, she kept me in the loop with every action - she submitted the offer, the other agent acknowledged, how any negotiations were going, etc. There's no doubt Tara is a great choice!
As a first time homebuyer, I couldn’t have gone through the whole process without the help of Craig McGuire. Craig was attentive and patient. He showed me older homes, new builds and was with me every step of the way all the way to closing. He also came with a slew of recommendations for various services like gutter installers, movers, pest control etc. I really appreciated his help and look forward to working with him in the future!
During our house hunting journey, we were absolutely BLESSED to have Tara guiding us. From day one, Tara has been awesome. Tara has consistently been professional, prompt in her communication, attentive to our needs, and very caring. She also is extremely understanding of the stress of home buying and has been so understanding of mine and my husband's quirks. Tara always did her best to make sure we felt supported and was always honest with us. We completely trust Tara because she consistently proved she knew what she was talking about. Furthermore, the fact that she is so familiar with remodeling processes and costs, helped us better assess the many homes we saw. As to your question about what Tara did especially well; there were so many things. She absolutely always made the time to show us a house we expressed interest in....she never said "oh no, I can't show you that house"--she never let us down. She is just a very kind, compassionate, and generous person. She always made us feel that she had our back and our best interest at heart. This is such a vulnerable process and she always supported us. There is nothing she could have done better.
Overall, the sales transaction of our home was very good. The only stress I felt was from the title company which was absolutely not Tara's fault in any way. The title company agent was really not great and that was just our luck as that company was selected by the seller. Tara really made the buying process great.
My family is very grateful to Tara. We are living in our dream home and we are so happy!
There are a lot of options for Austin realty companies, but reading through the positive reviews of Eric Bramlett Residential is what lead me to cold call their office. The same day, Kasey Gilliam called me and the rest is history. Being a first time homebuyer is filled with anxiety. You can do all the research beforehand, but there is nothing compared to working with Kasey and her extensive knowledge of the market and homebuying process. She listened to what was important to us. She walked us through every step of the way and never made us feel guilty of our endless questions. She pointed out what to look out for. She never pressured us into anything (and actually talked through why certain properties weren't good buys). She has a contact for everything. She always made herself available to show properties either the same day or the next - which can make all the difference when properties sell the same weekend. She sent us comparative analysis of neighborhoods so we could make decisions based on hard facts. And the cherry on top was I genuinely feel she wanted us to find the perfect house. Kasey was so incredible I wish I had her for all aspects of my life. And when we eventually decide to sell the house, she'll be the one we call. I could not recommend her highly enough. If you're currently reading through reviews searching for a realtor, Kasey Gilliam is the one you've been looking for.
I had a great experience with Craig McGuire. He took the time to understand what I was looking for and helped me to find the perfect new home to buy. He was very responsive and guided me through the whole process without being pushy. I highly recommend Craig and would be glad to work with him again.
We chose Eric Bramlett Residential Real Estate for our first house based on their online reviews, and they absolutely did not disappoint. Within a couple of hours of sending our callback request via their website (on a Sunday), our agent Craig McGuire called us to answer our questions and determine our new home needs. He immediately sent us information on existing homes as well as builders for the area we were looking at, and made himself available for all of our first-time buyer inquiries. We chose to purchase a new construction home in Buda, and Craig was there every single step of the way. He was proactive in addressing our needs, and made sure we were comfortable with the build process. He made us very much feel that we were a priority, and are relieved to know that we now have an excellent realtor when we are ready to make our next move. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to buy (or sell) a home.
I've heard from many people, buying your first house is a nightmare and stressful, anxiety inducing grueling process. Those people have clearly not had the pleasure of working with Craig McGuire with Bramlett Real Estate! My spouse and I were lucky enough to be put in touch with Craig from a referral from a friend, and from our first conversation, we knew he was looking out for our best interests and wanted to make as much of our dreams a reality within our budget. Craig was excited and upbeat and positive throughout the whole process. The Austin market is crazy right now and almost disheartening for newbie buyers, but Craig assured us all would work out fine and squashed any doubt or fear we felt creeping in. He answered every single question we had and gave us a timeline on how things would progress along the way. From the get go when we said what our plans and dreams were, he was onboard and ready to jump on and help us on our quest. WHO just hears some stranger's dreams and plans and springs into action like that?? There are some good real estate agents out there. But in this market, especially if your are a newbie buyer, good isn't good enough. Forget the rest, get with the best, call Craig, tell him your plans and dreams and let his best work for you! I did and I'm writing this post from my dream kitchen island in my new dream house!
This was my first time selling a home so I was nervous about picking the right realtor. I stumbled across Bramlett Residential through some google searches and I am so thankful that I did. Will Mackintosh was my realtor and he was so great to work with. Because of Covid, everything was done virtually and it was really easy. Will was very responsive, patient, and kind. The entire team was great to work with. They were thorough, answered all my questions, and sent me all the "action items" that I needed to complete with plenty of lead time so that I never felt rushed. They explained everything so that I knew exactly what was happening and what was expected of me. When it came to negotiating with the buyers, Will provided his guidance and expert opinion which I listened to without hesitation. Overall, I couldn't be happier and I've already recommended Will to a few friends!
Recently, my husband and I decided to take a life changing step and move to the Austin area for a job opportunity. We had never been here before and had no idea what to expect. We also decided to set up a more permanent situation and buy our first house. We had no idea where to start or what to do. Thankfully, we reached out to a friend of ours that had relocated to the Austin area a few years ago and she referred us to Craig McGuire with Bramlett Real Estate. All I can say is WOW! Craig knows what he's doing and took our fears/worries/anxieties and put them all to rest. He walked us through each and every step, always made us feel in control of our choices, educated us on how selling the property or renting it out in the future would look like, and even gave us decorating/home maintenance advice if we saw a challenging area of a home we weren't sure what to do with. The passion Craig shows in what he does stood out to me over everything. Each and every house we looked at, he seemed just as excited as we were to open the door and see what was inside. Every time we saw a new property, having Craig with us made us feel like we were looking at a house with an expert friend. He never left us hanging, always answered our questions, (we had thousands of course), and made us feel like we were his best and only clients! If you are still reading this, then grab the phone, call Craig, get the keys to your dream house and start living!
Every step of our first home buying experience was amazing due to Chris Johnsons dedication to not only helping us find our perfect home but every step after all the way through closing and now even after helping us find contractorsfor things we want done. I would highly recommend him if you're looking to purchase a home and if we ever plan on moving he will be my first call! Thank you Chris for everything!
Worked with Will for our first house purchase years ago and again to sell our house this year. He did helps us to provide a decent offer when we purchased our first house. We used him again based on reviews and his first meeting knowledge and valuable opinions as seller agent, we were pleased by his recommendations and advise. We followed his advice by what are highly recommended to renovate and what to avoid renovate not to waste money to increase house value. It was a bit unfortunate that the house we purchased has less privacy and smaller backyard that we didn't consider and not in a good market. And we were in a hurry to sell house so did not go through other major renovations. The selling process is not a pleasant experience because of several potential buyers side issues and inexperienced buyer agent, but Will helped us to go through the offer and ensure to protect our benefits during negotiation period. Without Will, we probably would take the wrong step to over renovate or not renovate the house. I still highly recommend working with him based on both selling and buying experience.
My husband and I had an excellent experience working with Tara McGuire on both selling our home and buying a new home. We were impressed with how extremely knowledgeable Tara is about the market. She knew exactly how to price our home and, like she predicted, we had multiple above asking offers within a few days. She also provide very helpful suggestions on how to prepare and stage our home that we are certain made all the difference. She was very communicative and kept us apprised every step of the way. We highly recommend Tara!
We worked with Simon Vand on a commercial property purchase and he was so great! We had a huge issue with a terrible realtor on the seller's side but Simon handled everything professionally, was honest with us about issues and escalated our concerns to make sure our needs were met. Overall, a great experience, the property is perfect for our business and we've recommended Simon to all of our friends.
Bailey was so great! She was attentive to our needs, did not push us to make a decision and helped us find our dream house. She is extremely personable and she is very patient. She understood what we were looking for and helped guide us especially since we were moving from out of state. She always had time to answer our questions and reassure us if we were not sure. She was great at negotiating and following through. She always kept us in the loop and would definitely recommend her to others
We got to use Simon Vand to find our home when we were in a time crunch and he helped us out greatly! Not only did he do his job well, but he was easy to establish a relationship with. I highly recommend him Simon.
I’ve worked with Will Mackintosh both buying and selling homes, and I cannot recommend him enough. After working with other agents in the past, it is apparent that Bramlett is different. Will is professional, hyper-responsive, and makes the buying and selling process incredibly simple. He was consistently available, on time, and helpful. I will continue to work with Will on future purchases.
Simply said: without Kasey we would not be owner of our home. Coming from a different country, we did not know the process, the market, anything. Kasey has been super available, very friendly and very aware about the fast moving market of Austin. We are grateful to had her!
LAUREN YODER IS ABOVE AND BEYOND!! She has been the most attentive, diligent, person I have worked with in general. From the first tour, she was proactively ensuring all of the important details were taken into account, she would check for any cracks, hints on foundation problems, water heater, ac details. She would do intense research on the area, from standard like how secure, flooding probability, value of the location, to any potential upcoming projects that might affect it in the long run. She helped us negotiate with the seller, lender, warranty and even insurance, helped us understand the inspection report and advised appropriately, helped us get a foundation warranty transferred, gave structure to the whole process, took over all the overwhelming details, and just made the whole process from finding, making an offer, to closing WAY easier than it would have been. She is also very knowledgeable and proactive, which gave us peace of mind as we knew if we overlooked anything, Lauren would have our back. She really made all the difference and we will be forever grateful. Ps. She also has the best recommendations for ANYTHING home related.
Will MacKintosh was such a pleasure to work with! He was always available when I had questions, returned calls immediately and explained everything that was going on. I had a duplex with renters in both units and he was great about working with them to show the property, etc, so that I didn't have to be there. He listened and understood what I wanted and worked to make that happen. I highly recommend him.
