We called Bramlett to sell our first home in South Austin. We had no experience selling, weren't sure what renovations would get us money back, and just had a lot of uncertainty. Tara came over, looked at the house and gave us a really clear plan with options depending on how much work we wanted to put into the house. The timeline and sale price that she estimated for our house ended up being spot-on. We got lots of showings and a cash offer for our full asking price within 48 hours of hitting the market. Even the closing just flew by, it was so painless. We sold right at the start of COVID-19 and Tara helped us navigate all the needed signatures and things smoothly and with minimal in-person contact. I would absolutely recommend Bramlett and Tara!
Great experience overall. I sold a rental property from out of state, and they took care of everything. Tara was very communicative, always quick to respond to texts/calls/emails when I had questions/concerns, and she always was very transparent and honest. I felt very comfortable with the entire process, and I also felt that with every decision and price during negotiations, I was given informed advice but I still had opportunity for my input in our decisions during the negotiating. Basically, the company and Tara made my entire sale-process pretty painless. I even went on vacation for a few days during the beginning of closing! Absolute 5-stars.
I contacted Eric to help find me a home in the central Austin area during a very hot housing market. Although the market was very competitive I trusted that Eric could help give me the edge on my competition because I knew he had a very good knowledge of the Austin market and that he had a reputation of working hard for his clients. Eric came through and got me get a great deal in the exact location I wanted. No small accomplishment in the red hot Austin market.
This was my first home purchase and he couldn't have been more helpful in explaining to me what was happening at every step. He couldn't have made this deal any easier for me. In fact I felt very comfortable throughout the entire process knowing Eric was on my side. Thanks again Eric. I wouldn't hesitate doing business with him in future.
I got introduced to Eric when he helped us find our rental apartment a couple years ago. And the experience was so pleasant, that when we were looking to buy a house, we went straight to him. And boy am I glad we did. As a first time home buyer it was important we had a realtor who was both knowledgeable and patient with the several questions we had. Eric gets high points on both. Plus he is not pushy. When we went under contract for a property where the seller was not willing to pay for the repairs, instead of pushing us to pay the extra few thousand for repairs, and be done with his job, Eric recommended that we continue searching for the right property!
Initially we had ruled out fixer uppers because of our inexperience. But Eric guided us through that process like the expert he is - I have learned a LOT from him. And its only because of his guidance, that we felt comfortable going ahead with a property that had everything we needed, except it needed a lot of work. He went above and beyond, by helping us make smart/cost effective renovation decisions to ensure we get our money's worth. And I still call him to get his advice - you can clearly see that he genuinely cares about it.
He is not afraid of answering specific questions you might have, and won't hide behind "Oh, that's a personal decision you need to make" or "I am not sure how much that would cost". He will tell you his opinion if you ask him nicely :) and that was a HUGE thing for us as first time buyers. The house we liked received 7 offers, and one of the reasons we got the house was because we had Eric on our side. Here is a direct quote from the listing agent's email informing Eric we got the house: "The seller has decided to go with your buyers because ..... we liked your professionalism in winning this contract for your buyers".
He is bloody good at what he does! Goes without saying that I will be looking to him for help with any future real estate transactions.
Eric provided outstanding customer service throughout the entire process. This was our first time selling a home and we needed a lot of guidance. He helped us plan out how much to invest in improvements to prepare the house for sale and walked us through each step of the process so we knew exactly what to expect. After we were done the house was in great shape and we received multiple offers. Overall a great experience.
Eric sold our house in Austin for more than we thought was possible in less time than we imaged.
What more can you say?
Well, I'll try to add more color just so this doesn't seem absurdly short. He knows the Austin real estate market essentially intuitively. He has "a guy", or gal, for anything that needs fixing or remodeling. His staging lady is an ace. He's professional in a line of work that attracts a lot of halfwits and flakes. If you've ever sold or purchased a home before, you unfortunately know what I mean. He's always working and always available, which must be terrible for his personal life but is fantastic for you if he is selling your house.
Spoke with Eric today and he gave me free advice regarding a property I have for sale. He was exceptionally helpful in explaining how homes are valued. He was patient, kind and responsive. If you need help with real estate, give him a call.
Eric is the one of best realtors in town.. We leased our house in 2014 and Eric was able to find a tenant in just less than 1 week.. We were working with another realtor for over 3 months before we switched to Eric.
The whole experience was very pleasant, very professional..
Eric is ALWAYS available for help/consultation.. He is patient, knowledgable and friendly..
His recommendations are very clear and very soon we started a good feeling working with him.
Oh, I forgot to mention that I still call Eric once in a while for real estate questions. Eventhough he is not obligated to help me, he patiently explains me all the options I have and helps me make an informed decision.
He has helped us find good handyman references.
We will go to Eric for sure for all our real estate needs.
I honestly cannot say enough good things about Eric. Best real estate agent I have ever used.
I've bought and sold a few houses and have worked with some good Realtors in the past but Eric and his professional staff are by far the best team I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Through the entire process they were very attentive to my needs and kept me informed on the status of everything every step of the way. I got the "turn-key" service I wanted (Eric arranged for a contractor, photographer, professional staging etc.) One of my biggest pet peeves is real estate agents that don't bother to hire professional photographers and do quality staging when listing a home. My listing was well written and the photos were of excellent quality and the staging was magnificent (see photos). Eric and his team definitely knows their business and really helped me in selling my home. He never made me feel rushed and there was never any pressure to make a decision. If I could give him a 6 star rating I would.
Eric just keeps on giving.
Two years ago he saved us from an ill-conceived decision to hire a (read: the wrong) broker to represent us in the sale of our home. And that alone would have been enough, but Eric also advised us in the by-owner cash purchase of our new home - without representing us in that transaction(!) - by putting us in touch with contractors to refinish wood floors and install a new central heating/air system.
Fast forward two years - we are ready to rebuild the garage, this time with a studio apartment on top of it, and finish out the attic into livable space. Our first stop at our longstanding bank for a home equity loan proved disastrous - their appraiser's incompetence led to a too-high interest rate and unnecessary points.
So we called Eric, who put us in touch with a mortgage broker, whose appraiser immediately saw the real market value. The result: much more appropriate terms, which of course we accepted.
What does this mean? It means that in 5 or 6 years we plan to downsize into retirement bliss; and when we do, Eric will represent us in BOTH the sale AND the purchase transactions.
Eric helped me prepare and sell my property this summer and did a great job. I needed someone who could tell me what repairs and improvements I could make to get more for the house and he did just that. He gave me a list of fixes and helped refer me to reliable people who did the work at good prices. Eric even picked out the carpet for me!
Before we listed the property, Eric helped get everything ready for pictures and sent over a really good photographer. The listing looked great and we sold for more than any other house in the neighborhood in the first weekend!!!
Eric is really good at his job. He has a lot of experience and gives great advice. He has a great team, but I never felt like I was passed off to other people because he was always available for a call or email. After we went under contract, he didn't disappear, and was always around for any questions I had. I really enjoyed working with Eric, was very happy with the results we got, and would recommend him to anyone who needs to sell a house in Austin.
Review from First Time Home Buyer
Tara McGuire is an excellent realtor and the best option for first time home buyers in the Austin area. Her contract knowledge, eye for detail, and honesty made the whole process a lot less stressful, especially in the tough Austin market.
If you're a first time home buyer, I highly recommend working with Tara, she will walk you through the process (multiple times if you ask), walk through every detail of the contracts, help identify any red flags in the house or inspection, and will respond to your questions or requests quickly.
Her optimism and charming personality will instill confidence that you can and will find the perfect listing. In the end, she will work tirelessly to help you close on your dream home. I can't recommend her enough.
I have used Bramlett real estate in assisting me renting my property in Austin Texas. This company is very professional and very responsive along with finding me quality tenants for my property. They get the job done. Thank you.
First let me say, one of the best property managers and real estate guys I have met. The history of myself and the Eric Bramlett Residential Real Estate team is by far a great combination and defines the term "one-stop" shop. Upon inheriting my Aunts Property, I interviewed three Property Managers, Eric Bramlett presenting himself the most efficient based on his walk through and initial consolation.
His goal was not for me to sell the house or rent the house, but more so in providing me with the best information possible in order to make an informed decision. This was done by his expertise within the real estate industry and knowing the Austin Real Estate Market in selling and renting a house. He referred me to various people he was affiliated with even if he wasn't chosen as the real estate agent or property manager. Upon obtaining his services, I was introduced to his team, whereby everything is automated in allowing me to fully be informed 24 hours a day based on my login and password. I was able to monitor the status and progress of the house which takes a lot of the stress off wondering how things are going. If there were any concerns, Eric and his staff promptly returned phones and discussed all issues to include recommendations in clearing up any mis-communication or mis informed information.
As me and my family discuss other properties, Eric and his staff is always discussed based on their performance, professionalism and knowledge of the Austin Market.
Eric has been vital in our relocation of our real estate development company from Telluride Colorado to Austin. I interviewed many realtors and Eric impressed me with his skills and knowledge of the Austin market. Eric placed us in the 04 market and we love it. We are starting our first duplex located at 1102 West Mary which I granted Eric the listing coming in June. Eric assisted me in locating an architect, lawyer, accountant and many other professionals that we are using for our first spec project. We look forward to working with Eric on all of our future development projects.
He is our realtor for the second attempt of sale. We felt we rushed in a little bit with our first choice. This time we wanted to be careful. We wanted to find someone with good rating and experience in our area. After interviewing a bunch of realtors we finalized 2 of them. It was Eric and one other. The question that really sold us was " Are we ready for the Market?". Everyone including the finalized other said Yes. Only Eric said No. He gave us a legitimate explanation for No. We were sold. Probably the only realtor who said we are not ready. We really appreciated his honesty. He did say, making money has not been the key growth of his company. He was absolutely right. I saw many homes came on to market in Nov-Dec period and just stayed there. We came on Market in Mar and got a closing offer in May.
Having told you my story. He has been very professional in his approach. Takes your mind of unnecessary worries, Does not let you believe in rumors, does not push you to do unnecessary repairs, Gives you straight replies about the Buyers/ Sellers. His system is very sophisticated, you don't need to bother him nor does he, to get buyer feedback. I gotta say though we were in Steiner ranch our house had some short comings. I gotta say it only takes professionals like Eric to sell homes who have hard time find its new family.
I would recommend him for all my friends, family and anybody who lives in the Austin city limits.
We relocated to Austin from the East Coast and were fortunate enough to have Eric referred to us as our realtor. From the initial stages of research into the area, to our final closing, Eric was absolutely perfect.
He has a tremendous amount of experience to draw from, and has an intimate and exhaustive knowledge of real estate trends from neighborhood to neighborhood, including building and finishing trends. He was able to help us consider changes for optimizing houses that were not quite right, and guided us at our own pace, constantly searching for other options for us throughout the process.
At every step, Eric was a wealth of information. He literally answered every question we had at every step of the way, and gave us pre-advice on potential pitfalls with our builder and mortgage company that saved us from any hiccups throughout the process.
Eric is just outstanding. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. We will certainly use him again when the time comes!
Eric is the only realtor we will ever use in the Austin area! The summer of 2015 Eric sold our renovated condo in one week. His team was professional and worked together seamlessly. In our initial consultation we interviewed two other top sellers in the Austin area. Eric beat them out handsdown. One of the competing realtors bragged about quick sells but would not go for top dollar and we felt they made an assembly line of their work and lost personal touch. The other competitor didn't seem to know our neighborhood as well as Eric and our small place didn't seem like it was going to be a priority. Eric and his team were the perfect match, they had pertinent experience and were always accessible. In August of 2016, we found the perfect fixer upper that we had searched a year for. Again, Bailey and Eric were strong in negotiations and helped us get a great deal. Eric was even available months later when an unforeseeable tax issue came up. Trust me, Eric is the strong advocate you need in this Austin market. Bramlett Realty is the gold standard for the way things should be done.
If you are buying or selling you should use Eric Bramlett !!! I have been in real estate for 35 years as a builder, land developer and 25 years as a Realtor (in Oklahoma) and I have never seen anyone as capable or work as hard as Eric. I employed Eric to help me sell an investment house in Austin. He not only sold it in 4 days for full price, he helped arrange the people I needed to do the fix up that was required. All of which were done in a timely workman like manor for a good price. His updates to me on the work and selling came continuously and without me having to ask what is going on. I have sent many of my agents to his web site to see what they could do to emulate his very successful methods. Thanks Eric we are using some of your systems!
My wife and I moved to Austin recently because of work, and to be honest, we were anxious about navigating the highly competitive Austin real estate market. Eric was a godsend. He has incredible instincts and limitless industry knowledge, and with his guidance, we managed to buy an amazing home in a great neighborhood.
Eric was helpful, prompt, and efficient. From the daily emails full of tailored listings to the negotiations during close, Eric made the entire process easy and stress free. We cannot recommend a better real estate company in Austin. His whole team was professional and attentive. They will get you the home you want.
