Kasey Gilliam. Just call and ask for her and everything will be taken care of. She is pro-active and smart and incredibly communicative throughout the entire process. She is a lovely human being as well which is helpful when you are dealing with stressful situations :) My husband and I loved working with her. I can't say that enough!
I met Ryan Spencer through a friend. From the beginning of the process of looking to rent a house, Ryan was such a help. He answered every question we had & responded to our emails, calls, or texts within such a timely manner. This process can be extremely stressful but Ryan definitely helped relieve some of our anxiety's. My roommate and I now have the cutest house & are comfortable. Shoutout Ryan for being an awesome realtor, we appreciate you.
I had my real estate license for many years before I let it go because it just wasn't for me. In that time, I sold plenty of houses, bought plenty of houses, and rented plenty of houses. The barrier to entry for real estate is ridiculously low, so there are LOTS of unprofessional people in the business. I've dealt with a lot of them.
Eric was my broker when I had my license, so when I gave up my license, it was an easy decision to go to him when I needed help. First of all, Eric isn't a salesman in the least. He's an advisor. If he were a salesman, he would have told me to list and sell my properties when I contacted him to see what my options were like others have. However, instead of trying to talk me into doing something that would have netted him around $20,000 in commission, he told me what he would do in my situation, which was to hold onto the properties and continue renting them out. So, he chose to give me solid advice rather than try to earn a $19k higher paycheck. That says a lot about him, and that's why I trust him.
Eric and his team are very organized and have systems for every process. They communicated with my current tenants and negotiated an extension (at a higher rental price) on one property and got another property leased out very quickly, after thoroughly vetting the new tenants and helping me with the move out for the old tenants. I've seen Eric in action on property sales, and he's just as organized and efficient on sale transactions.
Eric is the cream of the crop. If you already have someone you like, do yourself a favor and call Eric to see how he compares. If you don't have someone in the industry that you like, you won't go wrong just calling him and going with him.
I worked with Craig McGuire and couldn't have been happier with the experience. It took around 4 months from when I first got in touch with Craig until I was serious about making an offer and he was patient and not at all pushy. He was always prompt in answering my questions via email or text, even when asking during evening hours and on weekends. Craig offered sound advice on strategies for making offers and what to ask for during the negotiations. He also kept me up to date on what I needed to do each step of the way during the closing process and worked with the lender on my behalf.
Craig has been nothing but helpful, even after closing on the house with a couple questions I've had. He has connections with contractors and has offered me referrals any time I need them. I highly recommend working with him if you need to buy a home.
Our agent Bailey Moran was an absolute godsend throughout the home buying process. With her expertise and guidance, we were able to view, offer, and win a multiple-offer listing that was on the market for only 2 days. Her area knowledge was consistently impressive throughout the process - from local schools and amenities to commuting times, she always had an answer ready. She provided invaluable guidance at every step of the way. We were first time home buyers and a little nervous throughout, and Bailey really provided the experience we depended on. She provided referrals for local lenders and home inspectors too that were invaluable. We couldn't be happier!
Best.Realtor.Ever. The reviews are spot on. We have had other realtors and were therefore able to quickly tell how and why Eric and his team stand out. They are super organized, efficient and very knowledgable about the hose buying/selling process. Eric had all the answers to all of our questions. At times we were SHOCKED at the PROMPTNESS of his responses. Eric is also more than willing to answer the 100+ questions that you may have and never seems annoyed. Eric was recommended to us by a friend and we would definitely like to "pay it forward" by recommending him to anyone looking for the best.
I took a job in Houston, but wasn't ready to sell my house in Austin. A friend of mine had worked with Eric for a few years and recommended me to him, so I called him. He helped me pick a good price for the property, and found a tenant in a short amount of time. I worked with he and Bailey for about 3 weeks from start to finish - getting pics, putting it on the market, running the applications, and moving the new tenants in. They were very professional from start to finish, and I'm very happy with their services. If I need help with anything in the future, buying, selling, or getting another tenant, I'll definitely call them.
Eric was a massive help throughout the entire process. I called him countless times and he was always there, or got back to me very soon after, even after we had closed.
We've worked with Eric for years. He's responsive, accountable and proactive. He knows the Austin real estate market extremely well and has great referrals for everything from inspectors to movers. We'll only work with him moving forward!
So crazy as it seems I used yelp for a real estate agent and found Vicki Duran. I chose her because she was 30 years native to the area I was looking for. Being from out of town I was concerned that I wouldn't find the right place for my family. Vicki helped us navigate through the Texas real estate laws, banking etc. She recommended great people to work with and we closed in less than 30 days! There is no way we could have done this without Vicki. Highly recommended and please ask for Vicki.
Will Mackintosh at Bramlett Residential helped my wife and I sell our first home in April, and we were completely clueless to begin with. We met him the first time in our home, and he immediately put us at ease. Any questions/concerns that we had during the process were immediately answered, and all issues that arrived were solved by Will in prompt fashion. There was not a single thing I would have changed. He anticipated issues, and was calm and understanding when we dealt with a potential buyer fall through. Besides being highly professional he was also honest and down to earth.
While waiting for closing, Will kept us posted on any updates. The house sold quickly thanks to Will's intelligent positioning of the house in the market and diligent showings. Will always listened to what we hoped to accomplish, always communicated quickly, and was knowledgeable about how to tackle issues with the house. Will made what could have been an extremely stressful situation as quick and easy as possible!
I was very lucky to work with Tara McGuire.
This was my first time buying a property in the U.S. Tara was fantastic! She is super professional and she cares. We would visit properties and she would give me the pros/cons of each place like if she were going to live there. Her feedback was very honest and on point. Also, I asked her for recommendations (insurance broker, mortgage broker, etc) and everyone she suggested was a good referral. Tara knows the Austin market very very well, that helped because I knew what I wanted but didn't have the market knowledge.
Months after my closing, the developer hadn't complied with everything they offered. I reached out to Tara and she helped me solved the problem with the developer. So she will go the extra mile for you.
Now, I am working with her to buy my second property. The amount of value she brings is huge so I would only work with Tara while I live in Austin.
I've known Eric for a number of years. When I moved to San Diego, I decided it was time to sell my house in Lake Pointe. Since I wasn't in Austin, Eric was instrumental in preparing the property for market. He did a great job with that, and a phenomenal job marketing it. We had an offer on the property within 2 days, but it wasn't quite asking price. Eric advised me to counter back at asking price, which we did, and it turned out to be a good move. The end result was a full price offer in 3 days!
I worked with Lauren Yoder and she was AMAZING. She was extremely patient and knowledgeable (which is incredibly helpful as first time home buyers). She really looks out for her clients and will do everything that's in the client's best interest. Can't recommend her enough!
When we decided to move out of state to Austin, when didn't know how to approach finding a new home. Luckily, I came across The Bramlett Residential Real Estate name. When I contacted them, little did I know they would put me in touch with the best realtor we'd ever had the pleasure of working with: Tara McGuire. From the first time we spoke with her, we knew right away that we found someone who would listen to our needs and fight for them. We've all had an experience with an agent who pushes you to buy something just to get their commission...not Tara. She made it perfectly clear that making sure we got what we truly wanted was her #1 goal. I know some folks give you lip service on this point, but Tara walked the talk. We looked at dozens of homes and at no point did Tara get frustrated or try and push us in a direction just to get us off her hands. She even would point things out that she was concerned about...I don't know about you, but that is NOT the norm and we appreciated it more than she probably knows. Simply put, Tara is the best in the Biz and we are so grateful to have found her. It's safe to say we will be entrusting all of our future real estate needs with her. Thanks for everything, Tara!
Eric and team helped us purchase our home in Austin while we were living across the country. The 4 days we flew in (with 3 kids) to look at homes, he went above and beyond educating us on the area and showing us almost 20 different homes. Never losing patience with us...or our children! We found our home and put in an offer while waiting in the Austin airport for our flight back east! He was our eyes and ears on the ground here in Austin while we were back east, always offering to be where we could not and giving us recommendations along the way.
Eric is extremely fast at returning phone calls, emails, and texts (even with a difference in time zones). We felt confident leaving our new home in his care while we could not be there. He continues to have our best interests in mind, even after our closing. He is the first person I contact for referrals and recommendations. He has never let us down and we have continued to use his extensive team of contractors. We would truly be lost in Austin without having him to reach out to.
Eric and team will forever be our go-to people for any real estate purchases in the future!
Vicki Duran! We worked with a few agents who made us go under contract prior to Vicki and were thoroughly disappointed. Vicki...however surpassed our VERY high expectations. We are on the west coast and Vicki was able to help us move fast on an investment property with multiple bids within 24hrs of closing on our very own new build. 2 homes within 48hours. Vicki is a seasoned Texan who is sharp, knowledgable, honest and hard working. She has earned our trust by clearly communicating and executing smoothly. She will have our continued business for the long term as well plan to continue to invest in Texas.
We've had an extremely pleasant experience with Eric selling our house. His whole team is very knowledgeable but more importantly very patient and proactive. Eric himself is always reachable. From the start he provided valuable, detailed instructions on how to stage the house, and gave us recommendations throughout the negotiating process. His original estimate of the selling price was on the dot. We were able to sell our house at a satisfactory price in a short period of time even though we were out of town during the whole process. Hands down the best realtor I've worked with.
I found Eric when I was relocating from San Francisco to Austin. I knew I wanted to live really central, but I wasn't sure which neighborhood I would like the most or what I could afford, as it seems like things can vary quite a bit within a few miles. We looked north and south of the river and explored different neighborhoods on our search - Eric was very patient with all my questions about each - and I decided on buying in Travis Heights, which I absolutely love living in, the definite right choice. Unfortunately it was a tight seller's market (still is Austin), but Eric led the way and helped me get the house I wanted without any issue. I didn't ever feel pressured and he wasn't "salesy", thank goodness... he's been a great resource to me afterwards too with vendor recommendations.
We were so blessed to get Tara McGuire as our realtor. If I could give her more stars I would! From the first day we met I knew she was the perfect choice to work with to sell and buy our new home. She provided the right insight into what we needed to do to get our house ready to sell and at the same time helped us find a new house. Tara is phenomenal at her job. She walked us through every step, always available to answer my many questions, never put pressure on us but instead patiently guided us. I thought I was crazy to try to sell n buy a house right before the school year started but Tara and her amazing team handled everything behind the scenes. She made the whole process very smooth and stress free. She provided exceptional customer service! Was also so sweet to refer us to a great lender, and other businesses we needed. With her guidance and knowledge we sold and found our beautiful new home in a month.Look no further, Tara is the realtor You've been looking for
