Buy & Sell

Eric helped me purchase a house in Allandale in 2006 and sell the same property in 2009, which was a tough market. He advised me on which improvements to make to the property prior to selling, and referred his contractors to me to help make the improvements, who were all great to work. He did a great job helping me buy the property, a great job helping me sell the property, and I would recommend him to anyone interested in buying or selling in Austin.

I don't write reviews ever, but Bramlett Realty is worth an exception. I found them on yelp after being very frustrated with my husband's buddy who is a part time realtor / musician. Great guy, but... When picking a realtor, suddenly everyone you know has a friend or family member who does real estate or even better just got their license. JUST SAY NO! This is the most important investment your family will make. We met with 4 agents after we broke up with our first and found Eric. The reviews were right - there is no comparison. He truly is in a league of his own and the absolute most important decision we made during the entire process of buying and selling a home. I was skeptical at first after having been burned so I didn't put all my eggs in one basket right away. It took about a week of working with Eric to see the difference bw him and the others. I was also skeptical bc Eric told me in April that he had closed 80 houses so far this year (the average is 6). I didn't think there was any way he would have time to answer my questions (I had a lot ) or give us the attention we wanted during the process of selling and buying. I have no idea how he does it, but Eric makes you feel like you are his only and most important client. If you text him, you'll hear back in 5 min. If you email him, within 30min and often times he'll call to go through the email with you and make sure all questions are answered. He will remember what you spoke about last week and the week before that. Eric never made me feel dumb for asking even the most minor questions and he never made me feel like he was put out at having to answer them. If it was important to me, it was important to him. I seriously have no idea how he manages to do this for all his clients but I promise you - most agents do not make this time. I worked with several "top agents" who passed me off to their assistants and didn't return a single phone call or email past the initial visit. Beyond his availability and personal attention lies Eric's greatest asset as a realtor: you build people and people build a business. He is not out to get what he can (get you in a house way over max budget for max commission and sell yours for cheap so he can get it sold in 1 day). He worked with us as if we were family. If you want a realtor who is going to be a yes man and tell you exactly what you want to hear then Eric isn't the one for you. He will give you the truth even when it's ugly and I value that greatly. It saved us many times! Again, most agents won't. Eric is extremely knowledgeable about all Austin neighborhoods and schools. It's nuts. I was shocked when I asked him about a very specific neighborhood in Round Rock and he was able to tell me the elementary school by name and which high schools were rated the best in the area and then do it again for 5 other neighborhoods I was considering. Most agents know the area they live in and have to research others on the internet and get back to you. He is a plethora of information and not just about real estate. He "has a guy" for everything. Need a window fixed? Eric knows the cheapest and best. Need a new air conditioner? Eric has a guy from San Marcos that can get you the same unit installed for 2k less. Seriously, anything you need done, he can point you in the right direction and follow through with you to make sure you we're able to get an appt etc. Actually, he set up most of the appointments himself even. He went above and beyond over and over again.
This man negotiates the bejesus out of a contract. It's such an important part of the process! We negotiated the sale of our new house to the bone and when it came time to negotiate repairs etc on our old house, Eric somehow got a $40,000 list of repairs down to $500. I'm serious. Most of it was pointing out an inspectors mistakes, but Eric took the time to send the buyers source after source via good old google proving their inspector was in the wrong again and again. Most agents would not take the time to do that, nor would they have the knowledge. He has a way of making the other party (buyers or sellers) feel like he is being fair, equitable and reasonable - mostly because he is. Eric was also able to talk my husband and I down from a ledge many, many times when we were anxious, ready to walk or in a rush to hurry things along.
Lastly, Eric's team is stellar. His Assistant, Bailey, took me to see a dozen houses or more with a smile on her face, at the drop of a hat and on my schedule! She brought me furniture to stage my house to sell, flyers etc. She is extremely efficient, knowledgable and if that weren't enough - a super kind and caring person who my toddler fell in love with instantly. Eric also has a stager (invaluable) and a professional photographer whom he pays for when he sells your home. It makes a huge difference. Again, Bramlett Realty is the most important and best decision we made in the whole process.

We worked with Eric's team on selling our previous house, and are in the process of buying a house with him. He is very easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable about all things real estate in Austin. With his advice on some updates/repairs before selling, we avoided wasting money on some costly work, and made some other improvements that really added value and increased selling price. Eric was there to help us with each step as things progressed. Eric and Bailey's help and responsiveness has been excellent in both buying and selling. We have recommended Eric to friends and look forward to using him in the future.

I've employed Eric and his team to purchase twice and to sell two properties. So, I feel like I know quite a bit about how they work, and I couldn't give them a higher recommendation.

On the sell side: Eric is very systematic and thorough, and selling my first home I talked to quite a few realtors, I was really comfortable with Eric and his team, never feeling like I was asking a stupid question, and I asked a ton of questions. He has a great team of staff and contractors that helped me stage the homes, photograph the homes, last minute repairs to help the value, and they marketed the heck out of the homes. He gave me great advice with regards to pricing and strategy. We sold with multiple offers on one property (above asking) in a hotter area of town within 24 hours of listing and we sold very close to list price on a second property in a less hot market. He was available and promptly returned calls and emails. After we were under contract, he helped us negotiate repairs and kept us informed until we successfully closed. A+ all around.

On the purchase side: Eric is available, informative, and honest. He or Bailey were always available to view any property within 24 hours, usually just a few hours and they helped me look at the pros and cons of each property. I wasn't rushed in any way, and again I was comfortable looking at enough homes to make sure I got exactly what I wanted each time. Eric provided honest opinions of each neighborhood and the market value of each property. In short, he didn't just try to get a quick sale, but really helped me through the process (This proved it's value as my first purchase through eric we sold under a year for a substantial increase in price)

I have recommended Eric to a number of friends and family and will continue to do so. He's a true advocate for his clients and I absolutely enjoy working with him, I hope to never move again, but if I do I know who I'm calling first to sell.

Will has helped my family purchase two homes (as well as selling one) over the course of three years. These positive experience led to Will becoming the agent for both of my parents and my wife's parents' subsequent home purchases. We have been highly impressed with his knowledge of both national and local real estate trends, as well as his attention to detail with all steps associated with home purchase. This has made all our home purchases through him a much less stressful experience. Ability to conduct virtually all pre-closing paperwork electronically also makes it possible to close on dream homes in this fast moving market. In addition, all our home-purchase related referrals from Will were spot on, whether it's home inspection, title company. I would recommend Will in a heart beat as he provides a highly personalized service that suits individual need, and listens carefully to our criteria to ensure we got the home we wanted.

We started looking for a home in late July and gave Eric and his company the details of our plan. We had to sell our home and buy another. Eric, Bailey, and his team of superstars were the best people to assist us with this task. When it came to buying a home the professionalism and expertise from Bailey was top notch. She was always on time, would answer our questions promptly, and was able to guide us towards our home purchase. We are incredibly happy in our new home thanks to Bailey.
When it came to selling the home, Eric was tremendously accommodating and supportive. The combination of the technology they have to track the various steps and their ability to care for their clients cannot be matched. We spoke with Eric many times throughout the process. The most impressive thing was that he was emailing us and keeping us informed throughout holidays, weekends, and evening times when most other realtors will wait until the next day. We attribute the fact that our home sold in two days to Eric and his team who did not stop until the job was done.
When it comes to choosing who you will trust with your home purchase or sale there is no better option than Eric Bramlett Residential Real Estate!

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.

Eric is hands down the best realtor I have ever had working for me. I've done 13 personal buy or sell real estate transactions in many areas of the country now and have no patience for 95% of realtors and Eric far exceeded my demanding expectations 100% of the time. First he helped me when I was looking to buy, then went far above and beyond when I decided to rent first for 4 months. His response time is close to immediate, he knows the market inside- out, he doesn't tell you nonsense lines to get you to buy, he understands what you want and explains everything that's helpful, and very critically he doesn't waste your time. Of all the great things I could say about Eric, and his assistant Bailey as well, the very best thing is that he has a can-do, no excuses attitude and will work using that attitude to get you the very best house at the best possible price and do it all with a personable and friendly personality. He's simply the very best.

I chose Eric because of his ratings on yelp, and boy, are they right! I have bought and sold several houses over the past few years, and Eric is by far the best realtor I have worked with. He went above and beyond to make everything so simple for us. Our house sold in just 1 week! I have already recommended him to others, and I will certainly continue to do so!

Eric and his staff were outstanding and they now what they are talking about. They made the complex and long process of selling a property and purchasing a new one, as easy as possible.
