First Time Home Buyer

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.

Becky Welch is the best realtor anyone could ask for. She genuinely cares about her clients and keeps you informed. Becky takes the time to explain the process, what to expect and shares her expertise. This is very essential for first time homebuyers and anyone on the journey toward home ownership. If you're in the process of buying a home and need a realtor, look no further. Becky is your girl!


We had Linda representing us in our recent home purchase. We are first time buyers and Linda was very helpful. She was patient, professional and quickly understood what we are looking for. We always felt like she is on our side and looking out for us. She did a great job in setting up our many viewings and accommodating our schedule. Linda was great when it came to negotiating the contracts. In the few times that Linda was unable to make it, she made sure we had someone else from the firm to assist. It is important to have an experienced agent who knows the area. I would highly recommend Linda or Rachelle. Both were great to work with. I have no complaints. Everything went very well and we are very happy with the result.


My husband and I highly recommend working with Craig McGuire at Bramlett Residential. We were lucky enough to find Craig to help with the purchase of our first home and he was fantastic to work with. The Austin market was really tough but Craig was there every step of the way. He made sure we were able to get in and see every house we liked at a time that worked well for our schedules. He had answers to every question and as first time home buyers, we had a lot! He was honest, encouraging and patient. Craig is great at building relationships which is key in various ways, but to name a few-you feel like you’re talking to a trusted friend when you’re evaluating a home or making decisions on an offer. He listens and respects what you want while providing great advice. He has so much knowledge of the market and houses in general and genuinly wants to make sure his clients are happy. Additionally, his relationship making provided us great contacts for other home necessities including options for lenders. As transplants in Austin, those contacts were enormously helpful. And finally, we had no qualms when he initiated contact with seller agents. We knew he would be professional, friendly and have our best interests at heart. We really can’t thank Craig enough for all his help and guidance. We are so excited to move into our home!


I've had such a fantastic experience with this company, specifically Tyson Hombroek. He assisted my with my purchase of my very first home (which can be scary and confusing) and the subsequent sale of the house. This process can be a giant headache and very stressful, but I didn't experience either. Tyson checked in with me very regularly and explained each step to where anyone could understand. Thank you Tyson!!


As a first time homebuyers and recent new comers to the Austin area we couldn't ask for a better real estate agent than Jeremy Vandermause. He's friendly, responsive and he has a really good knowledge about Austin and its suburbs. As the start of our house buying process he provided us with a lot of information about the suburbs of Austin and also about the house buying process and the current market. He was willing to come with us to visit multiple listings in some days. We really appreciate Jeremy's patience with us during this process. Without him guiding us through the every step of the house buying process, we wouldn't be able to find our dream home. We highly recommend Jeremy to anyone looking to buy a home in the Austin area. Thank you very much Jeremy. It was a pleasure working with you.


Trey Blanco helped us buy our first home in one of the hottest markets in the country and we couldn't be more thrilled! We are so grateful to have had Trey on our side, and can't recommend him enough.


Working with Lauren Yoder and Sarah Crowson has been an absolute pleasure as my husband and I ventured to buy our first home in Austin, TX. They were patient with us through out the process allowing us to digest it all make clear decisions. While we bought our home while physically being in California, it brought a lot of challenges with viewing, closing etc. Lauren and Sarah made it a priority to include us in all steps of the process and went above and beyond to keep us in the loop and make sure we are comfortable! If you are looking to buy a property in Austin, I highly recommend Lauren and Sarah from Bramlett Residential. They are professional, friendly, honest, extremely resourceful and make buying a home easy!


Becky Welch has been a lifesaver in guiding first-time home buyers through a whirlwind of a market. She went above and beyond to make sure we were well-informed, and kept us in the loop even while we were coordinating from out of town. Without Face-Time property tours with Becky we would not have been able to make this happen. I would highly recommend.


We were first-time home buyers from California in the hot Austin market. We have an opportunity to with with Kathryn Strand and it was an ease and professional experiences for us. Kathryn is excellent and delivered a good communication in timely manner. She is patient, professional and knowledgeable to advise us to get our dream home. Although we have been through a very competitive market, Kathryn walk us though the buying process and remove all blockage and concerns. Moreover, she was very responsive and was able to set up viewings for us on short notice. Looking forward for our next property with Kathryn and the agency. Amazing experience !


We could not be more pleased with the help we received from Patrick Hallett and the folks at Bramlett Residential. As first time homebuyers in the very difficult Austin market Patrick helped us remain optimistic and ultimately find and secure the perfect house for us to call our first home. We are so grateful to have had your guidance during this trying process. Thank you again for all of your help!


Thank you to our wonderful realtor, Patrick, on his unwavering help with finding our dream home! My fiancé and I were in the market for our first home and had tons of questions, wants, needs - you name it. Patrick did everything he could to help us find exactly what we wanted. He was patient, kind, and super flexible. He turned what is normally a very stressful experience to a very seamless one. We can’t thank him enough. If you’re ever in the market for a home, Patrick is your guy! We can’t recommend him enough. :)


Linda Baddour is phenomenal! She was recommended to us by friends and I am 1000% happy that we have her as our real estate agent. We are first time home owners and she helped answer all our questions and gave us great advice throughout the entire process. She goes above and beyond and really spends the time to help you find the perfect house. We only had a small window of time to go house viewing and she was able to schedule 20 viewings in a day!! She ultimately found us our perfect home and I couldn't be more thankful to her. Overall, she is incredibly professional, responsive, and caring agent and I would highly recommend her.


Lauren was incredible to work with! This was our first time buying a home and the market was crazy/overwhelming. Lauren helped us at each step and made the process as easy as possible. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable. She fought with us and for us when our builder was moving slower than they should. She was patient and kind to us when we asked her a million questions. If you are looking for a realtor, I highly recommend Lauren! I honestly don't believe that you can find anyone better!


We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Yolanda. We were first-time homebuyers with very little knowledge about how to find the right place. We met with a couple of realtors before Yolanda, but we knew instantly that she was the one for us. She is honest and she really helped to take the pressure off of us. In short, she was always on our side working to make our house purchase as simple and successful as possible.


My Fiancé and I have been in our house for 3 months now and we couldn’t be happier! Yolanda was amazing to work with throughout the entire house hunting and buying process. She was available anytime we needed her whether that be scheduling last minute home showings, answering questions or communicating with our construction team! As first time homebuyers, Yolanda was a dream to work with and helped us understand everything throughout the entire process, even past closing! We would highly recommend anyone to use Yolanda as your realtor! We couldn’t have done it without her!


It's been two weeks since I moved into my very first home and I have Yolanda to thank for that. She was always available to answer the MANY questions I had throughout the process, she really listened to what I needed, and she helped me find the perfect home for me. I'm so grateful for her patience and amazing attitude at every step of the way. Yolanda truly goes above and beyond for her clients.


Eric was instrumental in helping me purchase my first home. Eric is not only a responsive, informative, and knowledgeable agent - he is also a very patient and kind person. I never felt rushed, and I could at all times tell that Eric was first and foremost concerned with finding me the right home - which he did. Eric helped me navigate a difficult listing agent, an unprecedented market, and a lot of firsts. I couldn't be more grateful to him. Thank you, Eric!!


There aren't enough positive adjectives for me to describe Lindsey's working style. If I *HAD* to pick 5 I'd say she is Knowledgeable, Thorough, Clear, Dependable and Patient. She sold me my first ever property last spring and made sure to address every question I had, never making me feel silly for asking it, or not knowing. A little over a year later, when my work took me from Austin to NYC Lindsey made the process of identifying a tenant seamless. In fact, I left for NYC almost immediately, and Lindsey took care of everything back in Austin. Lindsey goes beyond her role as realtor and fiduciary, she empowers everyone she works with educating them with the information they need to make smart choices -- such a pivotal role when you're making the biggest investment of your life -- and your literal livelihood is on the line. As a result of our time working together, I trust Lindsey implicitly and consider her a friend. Austin is lucky to have her in the real estate world!


Julie helped me find the perfect investment property! Being a first time home-buyer and investor, her knowledge and willingness to wade through my process with me was absolutely priceless. She is extremely knowledgeable about the Austin market and was always two steps ahead of me in my search. Working with Julie has been a wonderful experience.


Julie is a dream agent!! She made me feel immediately at home when we first moved to Austin! I love that she was able to get us setup in a temporary furnished home and then advise on buying the perfect house! She is incredibly accommodating and patient, which I needed as a first time home buyer! I really appreciated the fact that Julie really listened to what I wanted in a home and that she was able to make it happen for me! Julie made she that we did everything to win our offer and was by my side the entire time to make sure we would nail it! I think it's rare for a first time home buyer to win their first offer, that should speak volumes of Julie's capabilities. I would work with Julie time and time again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
