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.

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.


Craig McGuire at Bramlett was the most professional, friendly and accommodating Real Estate Agent we had in Austin. Craig was always available to answer our questions and he went above his duties to recommend contractors to improve the home we purchased. Craig is passionate about his job and family. I would recommend Craig to anyone who is looking into purchasing a property in the Austin area.


Bramlett Residential was absolutely the correct choice. Our agent, Bailey, was outstanding. If you are buying or selling your house, you should absolutely use Bramlett. We highly recommend them!


Bramlett has been the best real estate company I’ve worked with. They are timely, on top of absolutely everything, and do their absolute best to get your home sold for the most value. I will never work with another company again!


We contacted Philip when we started our home search from California before relocating to Austin Texas. He has been absolutely amazing every step of the way. Philip is very professional, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. You can trust that he will help you find your dream house and will be your agent for life. If you’re looking for a trustworthy real estate agent who will give you personal service and will represent you during the buying process, look no further. You will not be disappointed.


Our experience as first time home buyers with Craig McGuire was excellent! Throughout the whole process he was quick to answer any questions we had. After the inspection was finished he made sure that we understood what each item on the report meant and about how much it would cost to address. He made sure that we had a competitive offer that we were confident in, which put us at ease. Overall would highly recommend!


My realtor, Lauren Yoder, came with some excellent recommendations from friends who've bought property in Austin, and I'm pleased to say that she lived up to the hype. Lauren made the home-buying experience smooth, simple, and straightforward; everything went off without a hitch and I ended up in the perfect home for me. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!


I have lived in Austin most of my life, and finally scraped together the pennies to purchase my first home. Being very frugal with my money, I spoke with a handful of real estate agents, many who were noticeably eager to "earn my business." Joe Gage stood out from the crowd with his calm demeanor and absolute priority on understanding my goals.

My second concern once moving forward, was having a either a "salesman realtor", one who is more interested in making the sale or alternatively the "lethargic realtor", one that doesn't follow through after you take the initial steps with them. These are the things you can only learn about your realtor as you spend time searching for a home and visiting them. I can say without a doubt, Joe was neither of these things.

Joe helped bring my dreams into a reality. He was with me every step of the way, and made sure that we were looking at properties that matched my long list of criteria. If you are looking for a home in the Austin Area, give Joe Gage a ring and at least consider him along with the other agents you have talked to. If nothing else, talk to him so you can set a good benchmark for the "gold standard" in real estate purchasing. But I will say that I would be surprised if you can find a better agent that has his level of experience and expertise in the Austin market.


I worked with Joe Gage of Crossland Properties to buy an investment property in Austin. The circumstances were extra challenging because I live in the UK and I was buying the property in my self directed IRA. Joe was patient, reliable and communicative in walking through all the specific requirements and constraints. I would highly recommend Joe for any real estate needs you may have. He is honest and straightforward and always keeps his clients needs as his priority.

He also found a reliable property manager to manage the property!


I wrote a review of Joe Gage back in 2015 when he helped me acquire two properties in Austin area. Recently I hired Joe again to sell one of these properties. I just have to give him another 5-star reviews. Joe is very thorough and methodical when it comes to real estate transactions. The first time I met him, he struck me more as a college professor or an accountant rather than a real estate agent. He knows the local market inside out and the price he recommended was spot on. The house was put on market for less than a week and we received 4 offers. We decided to go with the cash offer at the offer price. It can't get any better than this! The whole transaction was super smooth and Joe provided valuable guidance along the way. If you want to buy or sell a house in Austin area, give Joe a call and you won't be disappointed. This is someone that you can trust and will work hard on your behalf. You can't go wrong with him.


This review is about Joe Gage, their real estate agent. I'm based in Sam Francisco and was looking for investment property in Austin. I tried out three different agents based on recommendations from different sources, including Yelp. Joe clearly stands out. He's very patient and responsive. I'm not familiar with the area at all thus had a lot of questions. His email reply contains detailed information of the neighborhood, including shops nearby, schools and so on. He regularly screen houses and give recommendations once he sees a good fit for investment house offered at reasonable price. He's very knowledgeable about the area. All his recommendations comes with details around why he thinks it's a good investment and sales/rental data in the neighborhood to justify the price he thinks it's worth as well as the expected rental income. I found him to be very methodical and organized. He's not a typical sales person. Maybe this is because he used to be an accountant. Needless to say he earned our trust and we went with him to make the purchase. I was very impressed through the whole process. He's very calm and never pushy. His recommendation on the bid price was right on and he was very good at following up with various parties to push things through. The process went through very smoothly. If anyone is looking for a good real estate agent in Austin, I'd recommend Joe whole-heartedly. His professionalism and calm personality make him a real pleasure to work with.


I am from out of town and it's really important to find someone who has extensive knowledge in rental properties in the Austin area.  I am really glad to have Joe Gage as my agent.  He was very thorough in finding the type of properties that I was looking for.  He was very professional and helpful in the whole process.  I bought the single family home in 2014 which turned out to be a great investment.  I would highly recommend Joe if you are looking for a realtor.
