Are You Moving to Austin?

Relocation Services & Process

Welcome! We Love Helping People Relocate to Austin!

We've helped hundreds of happy clients relocate to Austin from around the United States (and some from around the world!) While the buying process is generally the same, we understand the unique challenges you face when both relocating & purchasing. Read about our relocation process below, along with some of our past client testimonials, and tips for a successful relocation to Austin!

Services & Process

  1. Initial Consultation

    To get started, we like to schedule a short phone call to discuss your search. We'll want to establish your time frame, your goals, your price range, & your location needs. Do you prefer to communicate by email initially? That's no problem at all!
  2. Area & Neighborhood Recommendations

    After we've discussed what you need in your new home & what's important to you with regards to location, we will send a list of area & neighborhood recommendations. These will fit your budget, your commute, and any other important location specific criteria like schools or proximity to entertainment.
  3. Targeted Property Searches

    It's great for you to search online on your own, but we will also set up highly targeted property searches based on the locations we've identified and your specific needs in your new home. The MLS provides us a powerful property search that we have years of experience using, so we can taylor your searches just for you. We will create a separate search for each area/neighborhood that you want to explore, which allows you to easily organize your search.
  4. Organize Your Favorites

    We'll provide a client portal that allows you to save favorites, possibilities, and discard properties that you don't like. You can make notes on properties so that you can easily remember what you liked about each home. If you're buying your new home with your partner or family, this allows you to share your thoughts on different properties and areas easily.
  5. Tour Areas & Properties

    We are happy to spend as much time with you as you would like when you make your trip to Austin. We typically like to spend time touring as many neighborhoods as possible so that you can get a feel for which location fits you the best, and we're also happy to show you as many homes as you would like to see to feel comfortable that you understand the market & your options.
  6. Vendor Recommendations

    Since you're new to town, we're happy to provide you with a list of vendors that we've worked with for years. We can recommend a great mortgage lender, home inspector, insurance provider, landscaper, and more! If you need help finding help, just ask!
  7. Move Forward With a Purchase

    When you're ready to move forward with your purchase, we will guide you through the traditional home buying process. We do understand that a relocation can present unique challenges that usually involve purchasing remotely, and we're happy to help you through this process.

Tips for a Great Relocation to Austin

Plan at Least Two Trips

While we’ve successfully helped clients purchase a home on a single trip, we’ve found that an initial “scouting trip” helps you identify which neighborhood(s) you really want to focus on. A follow-up trip where the focus is to find your new home is much less stressful & more beneficial because you’ve already picked out where you want to live, so you just have to pick out your house.

Close Remotely on Your New Home Before You Move

Moving is stressful enough. Arriving in town w/ a full truck, closing, funding, collecting your keys, and then directing your movers in one day is even more stressful. We can set up a remote closing for you wherever you would like (a notary comes to you to close the day before funding.) We’ll perform your final walk through for you & are happy to video chat or send a video walk through so that you’re confident the property is in good shape.

Consider Making an Offer Site Unseen

If you’ve made a couple of trips to Austin & haven’t found “the one” then we can preview homes & upload walk-through videos on properties you’re interested in. If the property looks great, you can make an offer & put it under contract prior to flying to Austin to confirm it’s “the one.” Bear in mind that you will have a 7-10 day option period during which your earnest money is protected, so the risk is a $200-$500 option fee + a plane ticket. If you don’t like the house, you can terminate the contract.

Create a Backup Plan

It reduces a lot of stress on your trip if you have a Plan B. If you don’t find your home on your trip, this could mean another trip, or considering making an offer site unseen. A last resort is always a short term rental, which isn’t ideal, but does allow you plenty of time to search & make your decision after the move. Regardless of what your backup plan is, simply having one will reduce your stress levels enormously.
We would love to help you with your relocation.

Kaitlyn has handled many property transactions for me over the years and is always a joy to work with. I feel like she adds real value when making properties and more than pays for herself every time. Looking forward to many more closed deals in the future!

Kaitlyn was excellent. Always willing to answer questions. She was extremely knowledgeable from beginning to end. Her calm nature and friendly smile always made us feel well taken care of. The process of selling a home can be very emotional and she was not only a realtor but she was a real person who cared and understood what we were going through. She supported us every step of the way. She is awesome and I will refer everyone I know her way. Thank you for making this life experience a smooth one. God bless you all.

Kaitlyn’ sexpertise is unmatched! She helped us navigate the process of selling & buying for the 2nd time! The ever changing market is unpredictable and she handled it with ease. Her communication skills are top notch and never made our questions or concerns seem unimportant. Thank you Kaitlyn for helping our family find the perfect house!

Kaitlyn was amazing to work with! We didn’t know anything about the area and we were unsure of exactly what we wanted, but she was patient and understanding through the whole process. She offered great advice and was so easy to work with.

Kaitlyn, our real estate agent, proved to be an invaluable asset in our property search. Her deep understanding of the market, attention to detail, and strong negotiation skills were evident throughout the process. Kaitlyn’s professionalism and commitment to client satisfaction set a high standard. If you’re in need of a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate agent, Kaitlyn is the one to trust for a successful and efficient experience in Waco!

I cannot recommend Lindsey enough for anyone looking to buy a home in the Austin area. She is incredibly knowledgeable in every aspect of the homebuying process, and guided us in a way that always made us feel taken care of. We are first-time homebuyers yet she always made sure we understood all the nuances and details of the entire process. She was happy to respond to our real estate texts and calls at all hours, even when she was on vacation! I don’t when this woman takes a break! Thanks to Lindsey, we were able to find our dream home. From guiding us through neighborhood options, going on house tours, and helping us put down offers, to assisting us through our inspection, closing, and even post-closing periods, Lindsey has truly been there by our side every step of the way.

Our entire experience working with Lynn Wise was really great, Lynn exceeded our expectations, and working with you with real pleasure, I couldn’t think of any area of improvement or something missed, Lynn was always on the top of any issue, ready with the solution and honest recommendations. Her main focus throughout the process is to help us find a home we like, she never rushed or tried to influence. From all of us THANK YOU Lynn!

Annie was super on top of things throughout my entire home-buying process. She was very organized and detailed, as well as patient and understanding. I greatly enjoyed working with Annie!

We would not have been able to find and efficiently close on our home without Bramlett Residential Real Estate and more specifically, our amazing realtor Sarah Crowson! From the moment we met Sarah we knew we were in the right hands. Her warm and friendly personality made it easy to cancel any other real estate broker appointments we set up. Her knowledge and expertise in the Austin Real Estate market is unmatched and she walked us through the entire process from start to finish never pressuring us to do a single thing we didn’t want to. This approach made buying a house significantly less stressful and made our appointments to tour properties fun because we were also looking forward to spending time with Sarah :). Even after we closed she’s continued to provide us with deep insights into the real estate market and has become someone we put trust in beyond just buying a home. I highly recommend working with Bramlett if you’re searching as I’m sure they all represent the character Sarah possesses.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Marcy Dickson at Bramlett for our home is Austin.

Our partnership with Marcy began as we moved to Austin back in 2020. As new home buyers, we were clueless and Marcy took the time to make sure we were educated on the market and all the steps in the process… Leading to the purchase of our first home within our price range that we LOVED for 4 years.

Life happened and we needed to move and sell our home in 2024, Marcy was the obvious choice. Being on the other side of the sale, she was extremely patient with our questions, helped us find the right listing price, and worked endlessly on negotiation with our buyer to ensure everyone left the deal happy. It was a challenge with multiple other homes in our neighborhood on the market for weeks but with Marcy’s support and guidance, we sold our house in record time.

I highly recommend Marcy for your home buying or selling needs!!

We recently purchased our first home. We worked with Xuan Redding of Bramlett. She was incredible to work. Being our first time to go through this process, she was so wonderful because she took the time explain everything to us. She was patient and genuinely positive as we took our time to find something that fit our needs. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the process, the industry, and her experience is evident. When we met challenges (there were a couple curveballs thrown our way) during the process, she was able to find solutions for us and help us close the perfect property. I am so happy we got to work with such a rock star. Thank you Xuan and Bramlett!

Hesper walked us through the selling process every step of the way. She answered my phone calls, texts and E-mails promptly. She always had a positive attitude no matter the circumstance. There were numerous tasks that were required follow up and she was on top of it. I was always informed as to the status of the transaction. We went under contract in 48 hours and over asking over price! I have recommended Hesper to everyone I know! She’s a true professional and a genuinely nice person.
