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.

Will was a true professional and helped shepherd the listing and sale of my condo to a successful close. He was very attentive and super available. I would recommend his services to both a buyer or a seller. Cheers!


Lauren is the real estate agent who is effective, efficient, and most importantly cared about her clients to the upmost degree!


This review is for Vicki who I have worked with for two properties now. The experience right from day 1 has been really great. Vicki comes with a super power of the most responsive person ever. We ask her a question and the response is in the inbox within minutes. She also helped us with tips and assistance on putting in a strong offer when we were ready for it. And ! Gave us a free home warranty for the first year. Great experience overall


Working with Lauren was the absolute best. She made sure we understood the process from beginning to end and was always on top of it when there was something we needed to do. This was so important to us as first-time home buyers, because at times we didn't know what types of questions we should be asking Lauren and ourselves and how the process all came together. Additionally, we felt like we could really trust Lauren to give us her honest, professional opinion when visiting a property - she was looking out for what worked for us and what we wanted, not just trying to sell us a house as quickly as possible. My boyfriend and I could say great things about Lauren all day and there wasn't anything we thought she could do better on. We will 100% recommend Lauren to anyone looking to buy a house and if we ever buy another property we will reach out to Lauren.


Worked with Craig McGuire this year before and after Covid started popping up.

Incredibly helpful, polite, patient, and professional. As a first time home buyer, he took me all across Austin and North Austin, and helped me in a million ways I couldn't have imagined. I ended up getting a house I am very happy with in Leander, Tx at a good price.

He was very responsive, and discussed exactly what I was looking for in a house and investment property. He recommended a house inspector I was very happy with, and was willing to visit properties on fairly short notice, and staying out fairly late after work.

He was able to point out a lot of flaws in a house that I would never have noticed, and was very down to earth. He didn't push a sale, and didn't question if I was wasting him time. (I had him look at a very large range of cheaper and more expensive houses.) I can be a bit of a nervous person, so I hate the idea of wasting others time, but he was very respectful and open to every house that I brought up. Some of these houses were very important learning experiences as I started to better understand the area, which made me feel confident when I finally found the right one at the right price.

Craig helped me through the entire process, keeping me posted on email, and setting me up to look at houses in a very large area. When he didn't know something (San Antonio Market) he recommended someone else to work with.

I was incredibly happy with Craig's assistance. I'll be using him again if I need to buy another house in the area and have already recommended him to some of my friends. Please consider calling him and look at a few houses together. I believe that he will impress.


Tara was great to work with. To be honest, the entire team was really on top of things and Tara made the whole process seamless. It really felt like a whole team was supporting us and let us focus on other things outside of the immediacy of selling the house. The transaction was great. Tara made good recommendations on the areas to focus on where to concede. Tara was great about being very upfront in regards to her expertise when we were unsure of certain things but would still make it clear the decision was ours. She was really helpful in helping us weigh out the decisions we made and the potential outcomes from those choices.

All in all, it was a really solid experience and an upgrade from our previous realtor. I will happily use Bramlett again.


My family relocated from out of state and worked with Craig to purchase our home in Austin. He is extremely knowledgeable of the local areas and how each of those fit our unique needs to make sure we land in the right spot. He conveyed all negotiations and deadlines in a very professional manner for us to feel comfortable. Extremely responsive. The process was smooth from start to finish. We are so happy with our home and can't say enough good things about Craig. Highly recommend!


Katie was really helpful with understanding the housing market of the Austin area. She helped me along the whole process from finding the right house in the different suburbs of Austin, getting a good rate on my mortgage, is even helping me after purchasing the home. Very professional service; would recommend!


Craig McGuire saved us a lot of time and money. His knowledge of market trends and figures provided us with enough confidence to make quick, sound decisions in a very competitive area.


Craig McGuire has been phenomenal to work with. We were moving from out of state and needed an agent that would show up, work hard, and be our eyes and ears. Throughout our entire buying process, Craig was exactly what we needed. He is super thorough and super knowledgeable about Austin and the surrounding area. We look forward to working with him again in the future and HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking to buy in this incredibly hot (and sometimes difficult) market!


We worked with Vicki Duran during our home buying process. Vicki has been extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the process and we were more than pleased with the support we got from Vicki. She's a great real estate agent to work with and we highly recommend!


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!
