I had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Bramlett Residential to find my ideal condo. In anticipation of my move to Austin, I felt nervous that I had zero familiarity with the area. Initially thinking I would buy a condo, I reached out to Eric for assistance. Eric immediately returned my phone call and over the next few weeks spent hours breaking down for my family the need-to-know details about the different areas of Austin. Further, he put me in touch with financial experts who explained my mortgage/ financing options. When I told Eric I was better suited to instead lease a condo during my 2-year stay, he promptly connected me with his colleague Bailey Bowden who, too, was a pleasure to work with. Bailey was extremely flexible to accommodate my busy schedule, and she showed many great properties that I would have never found on my own. After I found the condo of my dreams and signed a lease, Bramlett Residential did not fall of the map. Instead, Eric and Bailey followed up to help me sort out the remaining details with my landlord's broker and also ensure my overall satisfaction with my lease. These guys are professionals who take pride in their work and genuinely care about their clients - 10/10.
We found Eric through Yelp after an exhaustive search for a property management company in Austin. After speaking to a few different companies we decided to go with Eric and his team. From the outset we felt very comfortable with Eric - he was very responsive, knowledgeable and patient with us. Within a few days of contacting him we had a full analysis of our properties, work needed to be done, and listing examples. Once we signed on with him we felt very relieved that we had an experienced and very approachable team on our side. Since then we have purchased additional property through Eric. The buying experience met our expectations. He had properties lined up based on our criteria and helped us make informed decisions. Eric and his team go the extra distance. There was a property on the market and we could not visit it. Eric offered to make a short video tour and sent it to us. BTW we had previously interviewed many other realtors and Eric was hands down one of the best.
When our friends heard that we were planning to buy a house, they warned us that it was a long, arduous process. With Eric, the process was the exact opposite. With his help we were able to find a great house in much less time than we expected. Eric gave us solid advice throughout the process and helped us get a good deal. Everything went very smoothly and we're excited to move in to our new home!
It was our first time buying a house, and we had lots of questions. Eric was very patient, informative, and friendly. He was never hard to get a hold of, and responded very quickly to our messages. He has a lot of experience with the Austin housing market and suggested several neighborhoods that we hadn't been considering. He gave us good advice about renovation possibilities and talked us through which houses we could improve the resale value of.
My husband and I were moving back to Austin from Seattle and contacted Eric after reading his numerous Yelp reviews and experiencing slow communications with the realtor we originally intended to use. We made the right decision to work with Eric! He listened intently to our requirements over the phone and quickly had a list of houses that actually met our criteria. We worked with him to plan a last-minute 4 day trip to Austin, where he and Bailey spent 4 days taking us through over 35 houses before we had to fly back to Seattle. He and Bailey were both super-responsive to all our emails/texts/phone calls before, during, and after our 4 day trip. Both Eric and Bailey were relaxed, helpful, and candid throughout the process. Eric is super-knowledgable about the neighborhoods we were considering, which really helped us better understand what to expect with each home we saw.
Eric allowed us to walk through each home at our own pace, hanging back to answer questions if we had them, but letting us experience the home for ourselves. He was upfront about potential issues in any home we looked at, rather than blindly encouraging us to just purchase a home already. By the time we flew home from our trip, Eric had prepared our offer and sent everything we needed over to us to sign. He helped us through the process and recommended an excellent lender who was able to offer us great rates and patiently listen to all of our first-time home buyer questions. When we panicked over not understanding something in the contract at the last minute when we were supposed to be signing all the papers, Eric quickly responded to our text (after hours in Austin) and called us to explain what we were confused about.
Buying a home from another state is difficult, and Eric was a great realtor throughout the process. He and his team even arranged for flooring companies to access the house so we could arrange to have floors installed before our move from Seattle. Once we moved into the house, I had trouble operating the jacuzzi in the Master bath, and Eric was quick to respond. He not only re-sent the inspection report, but called me and patiently walked me through trouble-shooting the tub until I got it to work.
We are very happy with our experience working with Eric and Bailey and would highly recommend them without reservation to anyone looking to purchase a home in Austin.
Eric Bramlett helped me purchase a new construction property and was able to be very effective although I work in the oil & gas industry with limited access to personal correspondence while away for work weeks at a time. I was interested in central Austin and his insight into the different neighborhoods was invaluable. There are a lot of smaller central Austin builders and Eric knew most, if not all of them. I ended up purchasing from one of the larger builders who specialize in the area and Eric already had a relationship with them, which made the process go very smoothly.
Eric is very experienced and knowledgeable. I especially appreciated his no pressure approach. I never felt like he wanted to just "get a sale." I really trust his expertise and anyone would be very lucky to work with him.
We worked with Katie as our agent for our home purchase. She was very friendly and very easy to work with. We were concerned about the price we were paying for a resale home and she did a thorough market analysis to ensure it would be appraised for that. She helped us throughout the process with all our questions and concerns patiently even though the sellers were not the easiest to work with. I recommend working with this firm.
Eric is a great realtor. He has done a terrific job in helping us find and buy our new home. He has a great network of contractors & inspectors that have made the buying process easy for us. Additionally, Eric understands the market dynamics really well and provides recommendation with both near and long term in mind, his insights make the decision making process very easy. He has been available and very responsive at all times when we needed him! We will absolutely work with him again and are huge advocates of his work.
We bought our first house with Bramlett and then when it was time to sell it we decided to go with them again. We weren't able to be in Austin while our home was on the market and Will was awesome in making sure things went as smoothly as possible. We didn't have to do much, they took care of everything. We received constant updates and when it came time to finally sign the papers they scheduled a notary to come to our new home in Florida. Everything was much easier than I thought it would be and I'm very thankful.
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.
