We absolutely love working with our clients and we love nothing more than helping them have a wonderful buying or selling experience. Over the years, our clients have graciously written 1000+ reviews about their experiences on sites like Google, Yelp, & Zillow. We've collected them here.

I had a great experience with Bramlett Residential. I worked with Vicki Duran for a remote home purchase. She was exceptional! She is incredibly on top of her email and following up on crucial parts of the home buying process. In a market that is this hot, you need a realtor like Vicki. She goes above and beyond when it comes to these time sensitive communications. Also as a remote buyer she was helpful touring places and offering to show me them via video calling. Overall would recommend Vicki and Bramlett residential to anyone purchasing in Austin.


I have been calling firms randomly to see how quick they would respond. Linda picked up the phone and right away she did the research on the property that I was interested in. The property was complicated, It was TOD zoned property which was new for everyone. But we wanted to know if this place can be turned into a commercial property and after she and I researched together I can do what I wanted to do with that property. I was impressed that the agent would go this far to research with me for this small of a property.

First we didn't offer high enough to get the place but AMAZING LINDA kept in touch with the seller's agent and kept us updated. When the other party's deal fell through we were the first to make an offer. we offered what she had recommended and got the place. Seriously If it wasn't for her proactiveness I doubt that we would have gotten this place.

This was the most responsive firm/agent we have ever worked with. Thanks again Linda for your amazing communication skills!


We recently closed on a house where Vicki Duran represented us and we had a wonderful experience throughout the process - right from putting in an offer all the way to the closing. We reached out to Vicki a few years ago when we were in the market for a house but then our plans changed and we put the home buying on hold. When we were ready again we contacted Vicki and I was happy to see that she still remembered us and was very responsive to us even though she was busy with a lot of other clients. She also educated us very well during the process with Dos and Donts. I would highly recommend Vicki or anyone else on her team.


To whom it may concern;

Ahem... Vicki Duran was an absolute rock star!

Abridged Version: We closed on time at a lower price than expected and could not be happier!

Unabridged Version: As a first time home buyer, she repeatedly handed me answers to questions I hadn't even come up with yet. Then for those few questions that did manage to remain unanswered long enough to leave my mouth, she quickly produced either answers or resources where I could find said answers.

Our home viewing tour that ranged all over the greater North Austin area was exceedingly well organized (everything moved quick, but nothing felt rushed). Then, after we pounced on a new construction, Vicki made herself available to help us review the builder's contract and walked through the property with us for the pre-closing inspection. I'm pretty sure she had some magical surgeon in a far-off land swap her human eyes out for those of a falcon, but I didn't get a good enough look to confirm this.


We recently had the pleasure of working with Will Mackintosh and his team from Bramlett Residential. Will and his team made us feel comfortable to ask any and all questions that come with selling a home. What we loved most about working with them was the quick response time, whether it was through email, text or phone call, we were never disappointed. We also like the attention to detail that was provided to us throughout the process. We knew exactly when & what needed to be done on our end and it made working with them a breeze! If you are in the Austin area and looking to buy or sell your home, we highly recommend Will, Felix, and Brianna at Bramlett Residential.


The transaction was easy as could be. Lauren is amazing and makes transactions so easy. She goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly and even helps to coordinate inspections, repairs ect. We have now bought two homes and sold one with Lauren and all three transactions have been a breeze. Not to mention that both purchases were highly competitive and she was great at strategizing and we got them both. Since working with Lauren we have also bought and sold homes in other states and both times we had to do so much more and it was a much bigger hassle. We often talk about how we need a Lauren in the other states we own in. We actually had a conversation recently about how we may as well keep investing in Austin because Lauren makes it so easy.


We were in Austin in December 2020 for home leave from my assignment overseas, and had been planning to buy our retirement home in the summer of 2021 and just look around in the week before Christmas. I reached out to Bramlett - having had a very good experience working with them in the summer of 2016 (Tara McGuire was out agent then) to buy our first house (also in Austin). Our agent, Craig McGuire, did thorough research that he shared with us, and advised us - without pressuring us - to consider buying then, given that what we wanted would be well beyond our price point by the summer because of the conditions in the Austin market for the foreseeable future. Observing all the correct COVID-19 protocols, he showed us houses that fit what we were looking for, and once we saw one that we really wanted, gave us the advice needed to help us to win a bidding contest without breaking the bank. This was really important, as after putting in our bid we had to leave Austin and do everything at a distance. Craig was key to making that possible. He found us a good mortgage company that qualified us quickly and, thanks to all his efforts and consistent support, we were able to close in a little over a month - in the time of COVID, doing everything very long-distance, and in a crazy Austin housing market. We're very happy with our home purchase, and with Craig!


Lauren was over and beyond our expectations and was by far the best real estate agent we have had. Her detail to everything was amazing, especially since we were out of state. She is smart and knowledgeable and would highly recommend her to anyone.


Overall the transaction went great, but Lauren was the main reason it went well especially since we were out of state.  There were many follow ups and walk throughs for a new build and she was instrumental in helping with those. Lauren did everything well, but especially just owning the whole process and being persistent with the builder.  She had great insight to anything we asked and brought up things that we hadn't considered and she clearly had our best interests in mind.  We've used many agents in the past and Lauren is above and beyond the best we've used.  She was a referral from a friend of a friend and I'm glad it worked out!


Lauren came recommended by two completely separate friends to me and my fiancé when searching for our first home and we are so thankful that we got set up with her! Lauren was phenomenal to work with. She did all of the things you would hope for from a realtor in terms of timeliness and organization; AND she went ABOVE AND BEYOND for everything else! When we walked through houses Lauren was able to use her expertise to guide us to a house that would be within our budget, a smart investment, and a house that does not cause us an insurmountable amount of work.
Lauren was able to guide us through the incredibly competitive offer process to get a house.  She was able to get us moving quickly to see the house and put in an offer quickly. Even more importantly she was able to make sure we offered a competitive offer not only with knowing the market and prices but also by changing up our contract creatively to get the seller's attention.
After the offer process Lauren was even more helpful by making sure we were coordinated with all of the folks we were working with and that we knew all of the tasks that we needed to get done.
And even when Lauren was temporarily unable to meet us at houses she made sure to set us up with Katie who was able to help us through the processes! It feels challenging to even sum up everything that Lauren did throughout the house buying process - we are so grateful to have worked with her and recommend Lauren to anyone and everyone who is interested in buying a house!


We worked with Lauren Yoder to purchase our new home in the Austin area. We could not have been happier with the work that Lauren did for us. Lauren was referred by a friend of ours and we are glad we gave her a call! She listened and understood our goals to ensure the homes we viewed fit our parameters and finances. Much of our home buying process was done virtually and Lauren did everything possible to make it easy for us and worked out better than we could have wanted. Lauren works extremely hard for her clients, she is thorough, responsive, and knows her stuff. Give her a call for your real estate needs, you'll be glad you did!


We recently purchased a home and used Bramlett. Katie was fabulous! She was hard working, very friendly, and communicative! We were moving from out of state, so Katie would go see listings that we were interested in and take videos. They were extremely helpful for us to help make a decision. She always kept us updated! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thanks so much Katie and Bramlett


Tara McGuire at Bramlett is great! She is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive and got us well over our asking. We would highly recommend her!


Vicky Duran has been extremely helpful for us in finding us the right home! She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable with the purchase and pay attention to the details throughout the buying process. Vicky is a great real estate agent who we would highly recommend.


I've worked with Tara McGuire at Bramlett on two home purchases and one sale, and I can't imagine working with anyone else. She's quick to respond and knows the ins and outs of the market. When we needed to move very fast, she did it faster than I even expected. Everything was so easy working with Tara!


Before we got in touch with our realtor, Kasey Gilliam, we had put in numerous offers on homes in Austin only to find time and time again that another offer was accepted. It was incredibly frustrating and it felt like we were completely out of our depth (we were). With Kasey's help, we were able to make the right offer on a place and move into closing within DAYS. She bent over backwards to make the process easy for us and any time we had any questions of concerns, she was there to answer. Even after closing, she has continued to be a huge help with referrals to reliable painters, cleaners and contractors to tackle a few things we wanted done before we move in. Cannot recommend enough, if you really want to close on a place, go with Kasey!!


Austin was very responsive and helpful in finding me a good investment property. He was pretty accommodated to all of my asks and always kept me updated on the situation. Really appreciated!


We worked with Katie from Eric Bramlett Residential Real Estate on the purchase of our home in Buda.  She did an outstanding job all the way through the process!  We have bought and sold several properties over the years and Katie is one of the best real estate agents that we have had the pleasure of working with.  She helped us select the right property, guided us through the bid and negotiation process, and helped us every step of the way to ensure that all details were covered.  Her insight, expertise, and hard work allowed us to be the winning bid without over paying which in this market is very important.  We highly recommend her and the Eric Bramlett Residential Real Estate group and will use them again when needed.


Working with Lauren was fantastic! We are first-time home buyers and had a lot of questions and concerns. Austin is a difficult market as a buyer and despite the fact that winnings bids were as high as 20-25% over-asking we managed to find a house, in the neighborhood we wanted, at a price range we were comfortable with.

Lauren helped us every step of the way, recommended trusted partners (lenders, inspectors, etc.), and is continuing to offer help now that we're moving in which we really appreciate it! I genuinely felt like she was looking out for our best interest and I would recommend her again and again.


We interviewed three different realtors and were impressed immediately with Will Macintosh.  He included our input into listing price, time line for listing, and detailed the services clearly.  The whole Bramlett team was was prompt in getting forms to us, and clear in terms of expectations.  The stager was great.  The pictures were great.  The house got multiple offers on the first weekend, sold at $55,000 above list price, and closed in 30 days.  Great experience.  I couldn't recommend them more highly.
