Buyers
My husband and I were planning a move to Austin TX and Vicki Duran was our realtor throughout these last 6 months. She has always been available and knowledgeable about the home buying process. She is professional, courteous and I recommend her for anyone looking to buy in the Austin area. Unfortunately, we could not complete our move to Austin due to unforeseen circumstances but given the chance, I'd work with Vicki again and again! Thanks again for everything Vicki!
Worked with Craig McGuire of Bramlett Residential and had the best home buying experience. My wife, Diana, is a realtor in Pennsylvania, so we know something about the process and customer service. Relocating to Austin can be daunting, especially with not knowing the landscape and areas most in tune with our needs. Craig met with us virtually several weeks before our first trip to Austin. His efforts to get to know us and to define initial search criteria was a welcome experience. We were able to critique many homes before arrival, which allowed Craig to zero-in to our unique needs. Wow! Craig produced home showing plans that were outstanding. He spent at least three days showing homes and was extremely attentive. We decided on a home that is perfect for us and through Craig's knowledge of the competitive market, guided us into an offer that was accepted first off. No horrow stories for us and a big thanks to Craig. A true gentleman and consumate professional. I highly recommend working with Craig!
We could not be happier with our decision on our house and I attribute that to Vicki. The process wasn't a stressful ordeal that I've heard people describe. Our process was exciting, fun, educational, and gratifying. Even though we just bought, I want to sell just to go through it all again- haha jk! We really bonded with Vicki because she made this process easy due to who she is as a person and how much she cares. Her goal wasn't just to "sell us any house." Her goal was to make us happy- happy in a place we could start our future, a place we could call home and truly mean it.
We worked with Tyson Hombroek to buy our first home. Tyson was fantastic from beginning to end. As first time home buyers the process is very intimidating looking from the outside but from the first phone call we had with Tyson he helped us understand what we were doing and helped us set our expectations. Tyson was very responsive and really put our needs above all else, he even helped us make sure we stayed within our budget and let us know if he didn't think houses we were looking at were realistic. He was very detail oriented in tours and walkthroughs and drew our attention to things we would have missed. I can't recommend working with Tyson enough, he got us through the entire process al the way to closing on our new home in this crazy Austin real estate market.
Vicki Duran is one of the best realtors out there. She is very knowledgeable, is always well prepared and thorough in her approach. She cares a lot about her clients and infact saved us $$ by helping us bid to the correct amount instead of over bidding. She is responsive and has great contacts to help us close the home. We were lucky to work with Vicki
Where do I start?! I asked family for a recommendation and he couldn’t have hit the mark any better. Vicki Duran was responsive and on point from the first inquiry. I am one of those who likes to be conscientious of most things. So I reached out to her months before we were scheduled to fly in. She kept in touch during the waiting period and was ready to hit the “road” when we got into town. She had preowned and new builds ready, but in the climate of timing when we wanted to see homes… preowned were dropping and being picked up before you had a chance to view. So we went after new builds, she tirelessly called sales offices and showed us different communities. Vicki was taking notes somewhere because after the first community shown she knew what we wanted and didn’t want and didn’t waste time with the nots. We headed back “home” and two days later we were sending our earnest money to her. She did all the leg work for us. Every in person and zoom meeting she was there. She did the walk through with us and helped pick out areas that needed to be fixed. Vicki just knows the job, what we as new buyers should look for and what is expected of our new home. She is amazing. She was there from start to keys. I’m so grateful for all the time she spent on us. My hubby does NOT like change and she was good with him, gave him the space he needed while giving me the attention I needed. She can definitely read a room and is not afraid to speak up and advocate for her clients.
As a first time homebuyer, Lauren Yoder was the perfect agent to work with. She was always available to jump on a call and answer any questions I had about the process. Even though I was buying in a tough market, I never felt pressured to make offers I didn't feel comfortable with. Lauren's curated searches made it incredibly easy to find great properties, and her knowledge of things to look for, and avoid, in a house was incredibly helpful. Once under contract, Lauren helped make the closing process as stress-free as possible. She was always on top of the communication between myself and any party that needed to be involved. I am very grateful that Lauren was recommended to me, and I will definitely look to work with her in the future if I ever need to buy or sell in the area!
Tyson Hombroek from Bramlett residential did a fantastic job and I had a great home buying experience. He understood my requirements and set up searches and gave me unbiased feedback on the properties , like how fiduciary does. He also understood that time is of the essence when it comes to finding property information such as surveys, plat map etc from the seller agent and writing offers. He met with me two times and even though I am purchasing the property from out of state I felt very comfortable about the area by leaning on his expertise. Overall very professional and nice to work with.
Ann Nye is wonderful to work with. We started with reviewing the many homes Ann found on-line for us. She spent all day taking us to properties and then ended up with us looking at new builds. She stuck with us from the start of negotiations to the end with the final walk through. Her extra set of eyes was great cuz she caught things we missed. All this was done during COVID times and with us being from out of state she was very gracious! I highly recommend Ann Nye!
Craig McGuire at Bramlett was the most professional, friendly and accommodating Real Estate Agent we had in Austin. Craig was always available to answer our questions and he went above his duties to recommend contractors to improve the home we purchased. Craig is passionate about his job and family. I would recommend Craig to anyone who is looking into purchasing a property in the Austin area.
We contacted Philip when we started our home search from California before relocating to Austin Texas. He has been absolutely amazing every step of the way. Philip is very professional, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. You can trust that he will help you find your dream house and will be your agent for life. If you’re looking for a trustworthy real estate agent who will give you personal service and will represent you during the buying process, look no further. You will not be disappointed.
Our experience as first time home buyers with Craig McGuire was excellent! Throughout the whole process he was quick to answer any questions we had. After the inspection was finished he made sure that we understood what each item on the report meant and about how much it would cost to address. He made sure that we had a competitive offer that we were confident in, which put us at ease. Overall would highly recommend!
My realtor, Lauren Yoder, came with some excellent recommendations from friends who've bought property in Austin, and I'm pleased to say that she lived up to the hype. Lauren made the home-buying experience smooth, simple, and straightforward; everything went off without a hitch and I ended up in the perfect home for me. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!
I have lived in Austin most of my life, and finally scraped together the pennies to purchase my first home. Being very frugal with my money, I spoke with a handful of real estate agents, many who were noticeably eager to "earn my business." Joe Gage stood out from the crowd with his calm demeanor and absolute priority on understanding my goals.
My second concern once moving forward, was having a either a "salesman realtor", one who is more interested in making the sale or alternatively the "lethargic realtor", one that doesn't follow through after you take the initial steps with them. These are the things you can only learn about your realtor as you spend time searching for a home and visiting them. I can say without a doubt, Joe was neither of these things.
Joe helped bring my dreams into a reality. He was with me every step of the way, and made sure that we were looking at properties that matched my long list of criteria. If you are looking for a home in the Austin Area, give Joe Gage a ring and at least consider him along with the other agents you have talked to. If nothing else, talk to him so you can set a good benchmark for the "gold standard" in real estate purchasing. But I will say that I would be surprised if you can find a better agent that has his level of experience and expertise in the Austin market.
I worked with Joe Gage of Crossland Properties to buy an investment property in Austin. The circumstances were extra challenging because I live in the UK and I was buying the property in my self directed IRA. Joe was patient, reliable and communicative in walking through all the specific requirements and constraints. I would highly recommend Joe for any real estate needs you may have. He is honest and straightforward and always keeps his clients needs as his priority.
He also found a reliable property manager to manage the property!
I am from out of town and it's really important to find someone who has extensive knowledge in rental properties in the Austin area. I am really glad to have Joe Gage as my agent. He was very thorough in finding the type of properties that I was looking for. He was very professional and helpful in the whole process. I bought the single family home in 2014 which turned out to be a great investment. I would highly recommend Joe if you are looking for a realtor.
We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Bramlett Residential, and our realtor Ann Nye. Ann helped us purchase a house in the very competitive South Austin market remotely (from across the country). We could not have done it without Ann. Ann listened to what we were looking for and was willing to put in the time to help us find the "right home". She provided us multiple videos and FaceTime walk-through of properties, and helped us navigate unique Austin issues like impervious cover restrictions. She provided invaluable suggestions, acted quickly, and always made us feel like finding our house was a priority. She worked tirelessly to find us the perfect home, and was instrumental in ensuring a smooth closing (as well as helping us inspect the property before closing, get cleaning people in the house...) Ann is the best realtor we have ever worked with, and we highly recommend her services if you are looking to buy in Austin.
My family’s realtor, Linda Baddour of Bramlett Residential, helped us navigate through the notoriously tricky world of Austin real estate when we bought our first house. Linda took the time to understand what we value in a house when we were exploring the market, and showed us how to evaluate important maintenance considerations between older homes and newer homes. She was also knowledgeable about how to negotiate a great deal with the sellers when it came time to purchase (our offer won thanks to better terms that Linda suggested). I highly recommend her services to anyone who is interested in buying real estate in Austin - you are in great hands!
Ann Nye came highly recommended to us by a good friend who also used her to purchase a house in Austin and stuck with us for over a year during our transition from CA to TX. There are not enough good things to say about Ann without writing a novel. She is responsive, honest, proactive, has a great pulse on the market, has contacts high and low and is more of a friend helping you buy a house than one of "those" realtors. While looking at houses, she always encouraged us to share our thoughts on what we liked and didn't like and made a lot of great outside of the box ideas to give us all the fair perspectives on the houses we looked at. When we finally chose the house we wanted to purchase, she patiently walked us extremely green home buyers through the entire process down to the documentation minutiae from start to finish at all times of day any day of the week. We cannot recommend her enough and we ended up recommending her to our parents and she also helped them find a house close to ours! She brought our whole family together in one fell swoop and we could not thank her enough for all she has done for us.
This is my second transaction working with Tara McGuire of Bramlett Realty, and she has been a consistent pillar of guidance for us during a crazy market in the Austin area. Our first was moving from out of state pre-Covid and then once we settled in and we decided to make a second move, in an even more challenging market during the pandemic, Tara was there as our community expert with whatever we needed. It is often so much more than buying a house, (which she is an expert at) but is able to refer any number of resources to help get things fixed and/or serviced- even has the best local jaunts to recommend as newbies to area. Tara has become our go-to for a lot. She demonstrates the patience, diligence, thoroughness, and the leadership we appreciate in a real estate professional and would not use anyone else!
