Buyers
If you are looking to have the best home buying experience, I highly recommend working with Lauren.
She makes the whole process enjoyable and stress-free. Her knowledge and willingness to help gained my trust and confidence in a matter of seconds.
I was told that purchasing a home was a headache but Lauren made this cliche untrue.
On the first call she understood what I was looking for and "hit the nail".
Because of her, I can call myself a homeowner.
Lauren is not just any agent, she is the BEST one.
Once again, I highly recommend working with Lauren.
Bailey Moran is amazing!!! She helped us find a rental when we were flying in for quick weekend trips to find a place to live as we relocated from out of state, helped us buy our home, and ultimately sell our home. Throughout each venture, she was always incredibly helpful, patient, available, and honest. I truly always felt that she had our best interest at heart, and I never felt rushed or like just another client. Bailey is an amazing realtor and I never once doubted her abilities. I would overwhelmingly recommend her to anyone. In addition, Bailey is just a really awesome person in general. She has a great sense of humor, is warm and welcoming, and I have always enjoyed her company. Plus, she had great food recommendations ;)
We have bought 2 homes from Kasey Gilliam, Eric Bramlett.
Professional, well-run. Know of the areas of austin and georgetown
We used Bailey Moran for our home purchase in Austin, and couldn't be happier with our decision. We were coming from California and had no idea what area we wanted to live in when moving. Bailey helped walk us through each area virtually, sent us any listings that came available (many of which were before they hit the market), and always answered whenever we called. We ended up taking a trip to Austin and she spent the entire weekend showing us around, explaining the pros and cons of each area, and was a pleasure to just spend time with. When we found our perfect home she was very strategic throughout the process to ensure we got the house (in a very competitive market). We just closed on Wednesday and couldn't be happier with our purchase! A+++++
#1: Patrick listens to what you have to say, so he can understand what you need and who you are. #2: Did I mention Patrick listens to you? #3: Always prompt, never rushed us, gave honest opinions. #4: Knows Austin's neighborhoods and helped us find the one that fit us rather than 'shoe-horning' us into a place that did not. #5: We will work with Patrick again and recommend him without reservation.
It was a pleasure working with Patrick to purchase our first home in Austin. We were completely new to the process and he kept us informed and comfortable throughout the entire experience. It was a smooth process from beginning to end. I would not hesitate to work with Patrick again for future real estate transactions. He is great!
Patrick was our third realtor in 5 years (yes, we move too frequently). He was absolutely incredible and we just wish we had found him sooner. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He was patient and accommodating--with everything from our requests to look at a ton of homes to our requirement to bring our kids with us to long days of house shopping and even to last-minute phone calls asking if he could set up immediate showings on new listings. Patrick is extremely responsive and I always felt like he was a huge advocate for our needs and our financial desires. A+ work all the way.
Linda kept things moving smoothly with documents from start to finish, Very professional and takes ownership in her job. She helped us buy the Condo and helped us sell it.
Vicki Duran was instrumental in our difficult, out-of-state, and long distance effort to explore housing opportunities, navigate multiple offers/negotiations, and ultimately broker the closing on our home in an extraordinarily fast-paced and competitive market. She was always available, ever-ready, and more capable than most, and it was clear from the beginning of our professional relationship that we were incredibly lucky to enjoy her services as our agent. We would absolutely contact her for any future business, and recommend her in the highest regard to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area.
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
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.
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!
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 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.
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!
