Will Mackintosh was great to work with. At our first meeting, I found Will to be very personable and easy to talk to. He readily answered all my questions and explained the process of how we would sell the house. I found Will to be easily assessible; always returning my texts and emails within a short time frame. The house sold in 10 days. I highly recommend Will to anyone who is ready to sell their house.
Austin Pitts is my realtor for life! We were taking a walk one Friday evening, and saw a for sale sign in front of our favorite house in the neighborhood. I immediately texted Austin, who set a showing for 10:00am the next day. We had an offer in on Saturday afternoon, under contract by Monday, and he even referred us to a lender that closed us in 3 weeks! He was also able to create a relationship with the seller’s agent so we knew where we had to be in order to come in with the most attractive bid - all without feeling like we overpaid because we knew what the next highest offer was. I cannot recommend Austin enough, if you are looking for an agent that knows the Austin market, who better than someone that was named after the town!
This is my fourth...yes, my fourth real estate transaction with Tara McGuire! I've used Tara to buy and sell our family home, and then again for investment properties. Buying and/or selling a home today in Austin, TX can be very overwhelming, as this city is in such high demand and the desire for homes are outweighing the supply. Tara has been in Austin and in the real estate industry for over 20 years, so she is not only a top agent in Austin, she's a local! There was never a question I had to ask because it was already answered. She simplified every complication, minimized every major detail and ensured that every base was covered. One of her greatest qualities is that she is far more than just an agent to her clients. She's honest and goes above and beyond her role as a sales representative to ensure her clients are making sound decisions. She truly gets to know her clients and works tirelessly to find the perfect fit for their family. Client's that work with her don't just thank her and move on; they continue to have a longstanding relationship that includes forever having her in your corner for advice on any and everything Austin. She's the definition of your superhero! Buying or selling is such an emotionally fragile time and Tara will hold your hand through it all. She will be your suit of armor and go to bat for you all through the county. Tara will continue working with you until you have exactly what you desire, while honestly telling you what you can and cannot afford, should do, shouldn't do, need to do, etc. Home buying and selling is a stressful but exciting time and can make some people (like me) turn into a crazy person, but Tara will keep you calm and positive. Most importantly, she always works her magic and somehow, someway, she makes every part of the entire transaction perfect and you end up with way more than you wanted!
After a great first experience with Vicki Duran, we decided to reach out to her to help us find a home for our parents. And just like the first time it went great, Vicki continues to be extremely kind, patient and responsive, she helped us find a home to our needs and within our budget that our parents love. Thank you very much Vicki!
We worked with Craig McGuire in our Austin house search, and he is awesome! Thanks to him, we closed successfully on our new home. Being first time home buyers, we did not understand the process and steps involved. And to make matters worse, the Austin housing market was absolutely crazy for buyers. Craig was very patient with us, guiding us through the home buying process, answering our questions and helping us understand the local real-estate trends. He would always double check if we are comfortable with the price we are bidding, to ensure we are thinking it through and not making an impulsive bid out of frustration. Very professional, always responsive and reliable. Will definitely recommend Craig to my friends.
We moved the whole family to Austin for a career change and jumped right into a hectic seller’s market, looking to buy a home. A friend had recommended Bramlett Residential and introduced us to Tyson via email. Tyson got a list from us detailing the specific things we needed in our new home. He used this to generate possibilities in a list which he emailed to us frequently while we settled affairs out of state. After a few weeks, we had a great collection of homes that were the right size, within our budget, and in the area we wanted to live. We moved into a temporary rental and started viewing homes with Tyson. Over the course of several evenings, Tyson led us all over the north Austin area looking at different homes. He fine-tuned what he showed us next based on things we liked or did not. He even recognized a listing that was tantamount to a scam and steered us clear of it. Eventually, we found a home that checked all the boxes and then some. Tyson went to bat for us and even had to wrangle the listing agent a bit over some things she had missed. We were glad for his advocacy and despite an almost hostile market for buyers, purchased our new home within a month of moving to Austin. Tyson was a consummate professional. He was patient, and worked hard to find my family a home that suited all our needs. During our move I had a friend tell me he wanted to relocate his family out to the Austin area. I connected him to Bramlett without hesitation and they are closing on a home as I write this
Our search for a realtor in the Austin area began and ended with Linda Baddour. She is the epitome of professionalism, helping us at every step of the process and she went above and beyond to make our homebuying experience a possibility in spite of the unbelievably competitive market. We were hoping to move within a specific timeframe and she worked extremely hard to facilitate several home viewings (virtual and in-person while we visited for a single weekend) ultimately enabling us to close on a brand new home resale within 45 days of beginning our search with an offer that was under asking + while coordinating 95% of the details out-of-state. I would recommend Linda to anyone in search of a fantastic, experienced and efficient realtor in the Austin area and I look forward to working with her again.
Tara is a wonderful realtor. I had a historic multi-family Clarksville home in downtown Austin. I had a bad first experiance with another realtor and agency. I contacted Bramlett Realtors after terminating that contract and reached Tara. I explained to her that the property I was wanting to sell was a historic one of a kind downtown property. Although the property had an amazing location and alot of historic charm and some beautiful artistc upgrades, it was going to be hard to sell. It was a complicated one of a kind property, that required more atttention then other sales. Tara did a great job. She secured banks that were able to finance our one of a kind multi-family sale if neccessary. Tara stuck by me after three contracts fell through. We ended up securing an all cash contract and closed in ten days. I was very lucky to find Tara. She did a great job representing me, and I felt like she had my back during entire time of representation. I highly recomend Tara and Braumlet Realtors for someone looking for a sellers representation realtor.
My husband and I were planning a move to Austin TX and Vicki Duran was our realtor throughout these last 6 months. She has always been available and knowledgeable about the home buying process. She is professional, courteous and I recommend her for anyone looking to buy in the Austin area. Unfortunately, we could not complete our move to Austin due to unforeseen circumstances but given the chance, I'd work with Vicki again and again! Thanks again for everything Vicki!
Worked with Craig McGuire of Bramlett Residential and had the best home buying experience. My wife, Diana, is a realtor in Pennsylvania, so we know something about the process and customer service. Relocating to Austin can be daunting, especially with not knowing the landscape and areas most in tune with our needs. Craig met with us virtually several weeks before our first trip to Austin. His efforts to get to know us and to define initial search criteria was a welcome experience. We were able to critique many homes before arrival, which allowed Craig to zero-in to our unique needs. Wow! Craig produced home showing plans that were outstanding. He spent at least three days showing homes and was extremely attentive. We decided on a home that is perfect for us and through Craig's knowledge of the competitive market, guided us into an offer that was accepted first off. No horrow stories for us and a big thanks to Craig. A true gentleman and consumate professional. I highly recommend working with Craig!
We could not be happier with our decision on our house and I attribute that to Vicki. The process wasn't a stressful ordeal that I've heard people describe. Our process was exciting, fun, educational, and gratifying. Even though we just bought, I want to sell just to go through it all again- haha jk! We really bonded with Vicki because she made this process easy due to who she is as a person and how much she cares. Her goal wasn't just to "sell us any house." Her goal was to make us happy- happy in a place we could start our future, a place we could call home and truly mean it.
We are first-time home buyers who are relatively new to Austin, but we were nevertheless able close on the first home on which we made an offer with the help of our agent, Linda Baddour. We came in knowing very little about the process, but Linda guided us at each step of the way and promptly responded to any questions we had. We appreciated that she took the time to show us a range of properties to help us understand what exactly we were looking for and also alerted us when new homes came on the market that fit our criteria. She provided valuable insight into what we should expect and prepare for in a volatile market. While we reached out to a number of mortgage lenders and homeowner's insurance agents, we ended up with the ones Linda recommended as they offered the best rates and found us the best coverage for the price. All in all, we had a great experience working with Linda and should we ever choose to move, would be delighted to work with her again as sellers.
We worked with Tyson Hombroek to buy our first home. Tyson was fantastic from beginning to end. As first time home buyers the process is very intimidating looking from the outside but from the first phone call we had with Tyson he helped us understand what we were doing and helped us set our expectations. Tyson was very responsive and really put our needs above all else, he even helped us make sure we stayed within our budget and let us know if he didn't think houses we were looking at were realistic. He was very detail oriented in tours and walkthroughs and drew our attention to things we would have missed. I can't recommend working with Tyson enough, he got us through the entire process al the way to closing on our new home in this crazy Austin real estate market.
Vicki Duran is one of the best realtors out there. She is very knowledgeable, is always well prepared and thorough in her approach. She cares a lot about her clients and infact saved us $$ by helping us bid to the correct amount instead of over bidding. She is responsive and has great contacts to help us close the home. We were lucky to work with Vicki
Every aspect of working with Craig McGuire and his team was positive. Highly recommend!
Where do I start?! I asked family for a recommendation and he couldn’t have hit the mark any better. Vicki Duran was responsive and on point from the first inquiry. I am one of those who likes to be conscientious of most things. So I reached out to her months before we were scheduled to fly in. She kept in touch during the waiting period and was ready to hit the “road” when we got into town. She had preowned and new builds ready, but in the climate of timing when we wanted to see homes… preowned were dropping and being picked up before you had a chance to view. So we went after new builds, she tirelessly called sales offices and showed us different communities. Vicki was taking notes somewhere because after the first community shown she knew what we wanted and didn’t want and didn’t waste time with the nots. We headed back “home” and two days later we were sending our earnest money to her. She did all the leg work for us. Every in person and zoom meeting she was there. She did the walk through with us and helped pick out areas that needed to be fixed. Vicki just knows the job, what we as new buyers should look for and what is expected of our new home. She is amazing. She was there from start to keys. I’m so grateful for all the time she spent on us. My hubby does NOT like change and she was good with him, gave him the space he needed while giving me the attention I needed. She can definitely read a room and is not afraid to speak up and advocate for her clients.
As a first time homebuyer, Lauren Yoder was the perfect agent to work with. She was always available to jump on a call and answer any questions I had about the process. Even though I was buying in a tough market, I never felt pressured to make offers I didn't feel comfortable with. Lauren's curated searches made it incredibly easy to find great properties, and her knowledge of things to look for, and avoid, in a house was incredibly helpful. Once under contract, Lauren helped make the closing process as stress-free as possible. She was always on top of the communication between myself and any party that needed to be involved. I am very grateful that Lauren was recommended to me, and I will definitely look to work with her in the future if I ever need to buy or sell in the area!
Tyson Hombroek from Bramlett residential did a fantastic job and I had a great home buying experience. He understood my requirements and set up searches and gave me unbiased feedback on the properties , like how fiduciary does. He also understood that time is of the essence when it comes to finding property information such as surveys, plat map etc from the seller agent and writing offers. He met with me two times and even though I am purchasing the property from out of state I felt very comfortable about the area by leaning on his expertise. Overall very professional and nice to work with.
Ann Nye is wonderful to work with. We started with reviewing the many homes Ann found on-line for us. She spent all day taking us to properties and then ended up with us looking at new builds. She stuck with us from the start of negotiations to the end with the final walk through. Her extra set of eyes was great cuz she caught things we missed. All this was done during COVID times and with us being from out of state she was very gracious! I highly recommend Ann Nye!
Craig is truly great at what he does. We first worked with him as our buyer's agent when moving to the Austin area. This time around, we chose him to be our listing agent when we we relocating away from the area and we are glad we did. Craig was always available for followup regarding processes and questions we had-from listing all the way to closing day. He always made sure to keep us up to date with any information we needed. Craig has a great understanding of the market and is straightforward & honest, which we valued. I couldn't sing his praises more.
