JC was very helpful during the process of buying my first home. He directed me to lenders that truly had my best interest at heart. I almost made a few bad decisions that JC was there to wave off for me. I truly appreciate JC's responsiveness to ALL of my many questions and his willingness to be a sounding board for my frustrations in the process. I still hear from JC from time to time ensuring that I am happy with my home and letting me know of up and coming business in my area that might affect my property value. I will absolutely be using JC to purchase my next home.
JC does a great job with attention to detail and ensuring he has answers to your questions as you navigate the process of a home purchase. JC understands the process of the transaction in a home purchase and makes sure the details are covered.
JC is the best! I have referred him to several of my close friends who have all enjoyed working with him and found great places to live. <br/><br/>JC takes the time to listen to your needs and take note of your like & dislikes to find you the perfect match.<br/><br/>He helped me find my current place and I plan on using him as my realtor again when I'm ready to upgrade.
I was going through a very stressful time and the thought of having to worry about getting my parent's house sold was overwhelming. JC made the whole experience smooth and organised. He knows his stuff and one feels in capable hands. Great communication, great knowledge of selling and buying. I definitely recommend JC and Realty Austin.
JC is awesome. We sold our house and were in the market for a new one. He worked day and night trying to find us a house that we liked, even though we were continually changing our minds. His job was tough because of where we set our budget and the area we wanted to be in. He was nothing but positive. I am super happy that we used him and I know we’ve got a friend for life! Thanks JC - the whole process was made better by his wisdom and sense of humor. We will definitely use him in the future!
I met JC as an agent representing the people that bought a house that I had listed for sale. So he was on the other side of the transaction. I quickly realized that he is the type of agent and person that I wanted to work with. After the closing, I approached him and asked him if he would like to represent me on my next purchase and things quickly fell into place. He immediately developed a plan, followed through and we had a signed contract within days! He is serious yet has a sense of humor and is very approachable. He is calm during a storm, a very important attribute when negotiating a deal and he follows up without having to push him for results. I very much appreciated him knowledge of the market and how he handled things from start to finish. Very highly recommended; look no further!
Ruth helped us to view many houses and (over months) to make multiple offers in a really, really tough market for buyers. Our low bids were our own fault! Ruth's guesses are always spot on. We finally had a bid accepted last month, and Ruth helped us re-negotiate after significant problems were discovered. Ruth has gone above and beyond for us, giving us far more time during this long search than we could reasonably have expected. She even helped us look for a rental when we'd basically given up. Her advice has always been immensely valuable and brutally honest. She is the most knowledgeable agent I've met on the Central Austin market. She also handled our stress well, and believe me, buying in Austin right now is stressful!
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!
Eric worked with my parents who are from Bolivia and it was their first time buying an investment property in the U.S. He was EXTREMELY helpful as he suggested different options available for them and took them to many parts of Austin so that they could see the different areas (being new to the city this really helped.) Him and Bailey were very professional throughout the process and ensured that all the documents were taken care off and they could go back to Bolivia without any preoccupations. I would definitely be using his services again.
We were first time homebuyers from out of state in a HOT HOT real estate market here in Austin. Determined to find the perfect house in just a 5 day visit to Austin and Eric made it happen! He considered our preferences and lifestyle and communicated with us long distance, keeping us abreast of what was available. Once he got to know us, he was able to encourage us to consider a little wider market (geographically) than we originally planned. We fell in LOVE with Brentwood and found the perfect location. Eric knows the Austin market and is extremely resourceful. He helped us negotiate and buy our perfect house for less than asking price in a market that was selling for higher than asking. He also had great knowledge to share about the city. Thank you, Eric! We are loving our new 'hood!
We chose Eric based on his high reviews and he definitely lived up to them. We had a great experience working with him and his team. We got only good advice and sold our house quickly and with minimal disruption. Eric made all the right decisions and jumped on potential problems before they became major issues. He was very attentive, answered every call and email, and even worked on his vacation when something came up. Bailey was also super professional and tirelessly helped us make our transition. We look forward to working with them again with our next home.
Eric Bramlett is an incredible broker. I purchased a vacation home from him in 2012. It was very important to me to be as close to downtown as possible, but I didn't want a condo. I didn't know it at the time, but central Austin neighborhoods are very different, in a very short space. You can go a mile or two in any direction, and the prices & neighborhood feel change dramatically. Eric is well versed in central Austin and helped me learn the neighborhoods and understand the pros and cons of what I could afford in each neighborhood. After we found the right house, he was integral in the smooth transaction. I'm now the proud owner of an awesome bungalow in east Austin and it's truly my home away from home.
Eric and Bailey are amazingly helpful! We both sold our condo and bought our new home through EBRRE.
First, Eric made sure we received all the help and information on how to best present our condo before putting it on the market. Ours was a difficult sell, as it was in a high-priced market and only a one bedroom. He kept us in the loop about potential buyers' opinions after viewing the property, and we were able to make adjustments quickly. The pictures of our condo made us wonder why we were selling in the first place.
Even when we hit a snag with a loopy "potential buyer", he worked quickly and professionally to disengage and get my house back on the hot list.
It only took a couple of months and we had a buyer and received just a little below asking and above our final goal.
Second, we had a very specific "forever home" in mind that was really what we thought would be a pipe dream.
He sent me homes that fit the bill on a very regular basis and immediately sent me homes that came almost exactly to what we wanted. Bailey would make sure I could see the house as soon as possible (to fit my schedule) and at times we would be in the house within the hour. The market is tight and we actually had several homes bought out from under us within hours, but they did an amazing job of keeping us focused on "the perfect home."
When we found "the one" it was on a Friday afternoon in which Eric was out of town for the day and Bailey had the afternoon off. Not only did she make arrangements to see the home immediately (30 minutes!!), she met me and helped keep me grounded to make sure this truly was it. We actually found a home with all the weird quirks we wanted and would never have dreamed to find something like this in the neighborhood we hoped at the price we could afford (they never pushed us or introduced homes "just a little over" as most agents we have found do).
EBRRE made sure we got our bid in in such a way as to entice the buyer without going into a bidding war (there were other offers). We were in contract within just a couple of weeks and had the home by the end of the month.
They also escorted us through the legal release and purchase and made sure our new home would be everything we hoped.
I couldn't be happier with EBRRE and the wonderful people who made my forever home happen so smoothly.
Thank you Eric and Bailey!
I moved to Austin and knew nothing about the neighborhoods and suburbs. He was incredible at providing me insight into numerous areas and extremely prompt on any questions I had during the search. Ultimately we found a house in Cedar Park and he helped me through the whole process making it seamless and stress free. I would recommend him to all my friends and family.
You want an agent who can provide feedback on the the various neighborhoods, responsive, efficient with your time, connected, honest and has the tenacity to get it done. He's on point with them all.
We were planning to relocate to Austin Texas this summer and started our search for a good realtor last year as my husband planned to fly out and just check out Austin and some neighborhoods. As there are many realtors with stellar reviews it was hard to chose and actually just because it's 5 stars yelp review sometimes you don't get 5 star customer service when they get busy. Actually I had to look for a new realtor this spring as our other realtor never really got back with us when we tried to email or call him.
Nevertheless when I contacted Eric over yelp he responded to me within an hour and connected me with Meredith who is a relocation specialist. She was amazing!! Really listened to all our wish list items and set us up with a great selection of homes in great neighborhoods. Unfortunately due to family emergency she was not able to meet up with us when it was time for my husband to fly out to Austin and check those homes or but she connected us with Vicki. This was the smoothest transition ever within a team. Vicki was updated about our situation, she knew exactly what kind of homes were looking for. She even picked my husband up from his hotel and showed him all the homes within a day.
We found a dream home and during the entire process of paper work, talking to the seller, lender, home inspection. Vicki was there for us. She responds to our emails/texts/calls immediately. We feel very well taken care of considering we are purchasing a home in Austin while we are still in California.
If you are thinking to relocate to Austin, Texas and need a realtor team who will take care of you all the way through closing and all the way until you step your foot into your new home, this is definitely your real estate team!
Eric is the best!! He and his staff combine rapid personal responses with up to date technology to show your house to its best advantage and to keep you appraised of the feedback from the showings.
I was a realtor in the mid 80s. Time have changed a ton since then, and realtors have the opportunity to use technology to improve the home buying/selling experience. However, we've bought and or sold 6 times just since moving to Austin in 2006 (over 10 times before that, but also before the internet), and Eric Bramlett and his workers have really made the most of all that modern technology has to offer. Not only are they well connected with information, statistics, and feedback, but they PERSONALLY respond with lightening speed to all our questions and needs.
I expected to deal mostly with assistants, but from day one... Literally, my FIRST CALL to his office... Eric has gotten back to me within minutes (typically, less than 5 minutes), whenever I've contacted him! He really gives the personal touch and has brilliant advice. That said, his assistants are also top notch. I was especially floored to find that he stages a house as part of his fee.... and with lovely touches!!!
If you are going to list with a realtor, I cannot recommend anyone but Eric.
I reached out to Eric because of his strong reviews on Yelp and he did not disappoint. He helped me purchase a house in the campus area for my son to live in while he attended school at the University of Texas. Eric has an extremely strong understanding of the central Austin market. As an out-of-towner, the price differences within a few blocks were perplexing. Eric explained to me not only what the price differences were, but also why they were priced that way. Eric is intelligent, patient, and never condescending.
Equally impressive is Eric's understanding of construction and what to expect in an older property. The property we purchased is on pier & beam construction and was built in the 1940s. Eric helped us avoid potential pitfalls (cast iron plumbing,) and explained what to expect in central Texas pier & beam construction (it will move over time.) He set our expectations prior to the inspection and helped us prioritize what needed repair and what could be safely "lived with."
All in all, Eric is a 5 star agent. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and couldn't recommend him any higher.
Buying a house is scary... There I said it. Buying your FIRST house can be down right mortifying, especially when in your 40's like myself.
It's important that you find the right real estate agent to help make the process less scary.
I hold personal recommendations in very high regard, especially from friends.
My good friend Joe recommended Eric Bramlett since he had helped him both buy and sell a house.
Eric took us out on our first run and then handed us off to Bailey to help us on our quest to buy our FIRST house and of all markets Austin TX which is NUTS.
I was a little apprehensive at first since Bailey was young but after our first outing she pretty much put those fears to rest.
It was more like going house hunting with a good friend who knew a lot about real estate and soon she was giving us honest input as to whether a house was going to work for us or not based on what we told her we wanted.
My wife and I looked forward to house hunting but had no idea it was going to take 6 months to find a home.
I'm glad we had Bailey as both our sherpa and friend since I really don't like shopping as is, even less when I am shopping for something as big as a house and my first house to boot.
My wife Sheri and I highly recommend that you use Bramlett REal Estate when looking for a home or if you want to sell.
They know their stuff. And if Bailey is any indication of the type of staff he hires then I'm sure his other associates are of high a caliber.
Thanks Eric and Bailey for making our new house hunting experience a great one.
Also a shout out to Max Leaman over at maxleaman.com they did a fantastic job getting us the money to buy our house. The rate was competitive but more important the customer service was on point. ~ Hector & Sheri
We found Bramlett Residential based off of reviews online for buyers agents and couldn't be happier about the way things turned out. Eric and Bailey worked with us to identify locations we'd like and made sure that they acted as trusted advisers. No question was off-limits, and every request for viewings was arranged in a timely manner.
Eric was especially helpful in outlining our options when looking at homes with work to be done, pointing out potential pitfalls that new homeowners make regarding updates\renos, especially overzealous ones who've seen a bit too much HGTV :-)
We also loved that Eric did not try to nudge us towards / away from a property or pressure us into liking a place. He's very capable of standing back and letting you see the light yourself.
When we look to move\relocate, there's no doubt in our minds as to who will be our listing agent.
I recently sold my house and Eric was principally instrumental in getting my house sold for a price that I never expected.
Before seeking Eric's services, I had spoken to five different realtors that had emphatically said that my house could only fetch a certain amount. Eric reviewed my property, the upgrades that I had made and came up with an aggressive plan to stage, market and sell my house.
Eric has a strong understanding of market trends and price curves. This was evident in how he researched comps to arrive at the sale price of my house. None of the other realtors that I had previously spoken to understood utilizing germane comps to price my house as Eric was able to do. Within a week of putting my house for sale, I received multiple offers over the asking price. Eric was very firm but fair when it came to negotiations with the buyer's agent about credit toward home repairs and upgrades.
Eric is very professional and extremely responsive. His team of photographers, staging and interior decorators is top-notch. My input was solicited at every step whether it was the photographs or how the marketing literature was worded.
During the course of selling my house, from the several conversations that I had with Eric, I realized that Eric has a very strong sense of the Austin real estate market. Being an experienced investor, he was very forthcoming with advise on investing in the Austin real estate recommending the areas that are poised for strong future growth.
As an extremely satisfied client, I feel proud to recommend Eric Bramlett to anyone seeking real estate services in Austin.
