Tara McGuire

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.

Today's real estate market has remarkably changed.  You now have to compete against not only higher prices, limited inventory but also multiple bids.  Craig McGuire was excellent in his approach to what is available, how to negotiate and offer the most attractive contract in a bidding war and also making sure that he is available to show when something does come on the market.  I got out-bidded three times but in the end it was definitely worth it for finding the best home and more room for your buck.
I would definitely encourage anyone looking for a home, condo or lot to reach out to Craig for the best advice and strategy for buying that home.


This is my fourth...yes, my fourth real estate transaction with Tara McGuire! I've used Tara to buy and sell our family home, and then again for  investment properties. Buying and/or selling a home today in Austin, TX can be very overwhelming, as this city is in such high demand and the desire for homes are outweighing the supply. Tara has been in Austin and in the real estate industry for over 20 years, so she is not only a top agent in Austin, she's a local! There was never a question I had to ask because it was already answered. She simplified every complication, minimized every major detail and ensured that every base was covered. One of her greatest qualities is that she is far more than just an agent to her clients. She's honest and goes above and beyond her role as a sales representative to ensure her clients are making sound decisions. She truly gets to know her clients and works tirelessly to find the perfect fit for their family.  Client's  that work with her don't just thank her and move on; they continue to have a longstanding relationship that includes forever having her in your corner for advice on any and everything Austin. She's the definition of your superhero! Buying or selling is such an emotionally fragile time and Tara will hold your hand through it all. She will be your suit of armor and go to bat for you all through the county. Tara will continue working with you until you have exactly what you desire, while honestly telling you what you can and cannot afford, should do, shouldn't do, need to do, etc. Home buying and selling is a stressful but exciting time and can make some people (like me) turn into a crazy person, but Tara will keep you calm and positive. Most importantly, she always works her magic and somehow, someway, she makes every part of the entire transaction perfect and you end up with way more than you wanted!


Tara is a wonderful realtor. I had a historic multi-family Clarksville home in downtown Austin. I had a bad first experiance with another realtor and agency. I contacted Bramlett Realtors after terminating that contract and reached Tara. I explained to her that the property I was wanting to sell was a historic one of a kind downtown property. Although the property had an amazing location and alot of historic charm and some beautiful artistc upgrades, it was going to be hard to sell. It was a complicated one of a kind property, that required more atttention then other sales. Tara did a great job. She secured banks that were able to finance our one of a kind multi-family sale if neccessary. Tara stuck by me after three contracts fell through. We ended up securing an all cash contract and closed in ten days. I was very lucky to find Tara. She did a great job representing me, and I felt like she had my back during entire time of representation. I highly recomend Tara and Braumlet Realtors for someone looking for a sellers representation realtor.


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!


I have known Tara McGuire for years and just recently had the opportunity to work with her on the listing/sale of an investment property. From early conversations discussing strategy and long term goals (well before she was formally my realtor), right down to closing, she and her team were all in. I was grateful for their expertise and calm approach in the current chaos of the Austin real estate market.


I researched the Texas Association of Realtors website looking for a realtor to handle an estate sale. After reading reviews of Tara McGuire, I was very impressed. I contacted her and learned her first house sale was in the neighborhood where my parent's home was located. Tara has a fantastic team in place to assist her with the listings. She met with me at the house and waited patiently until I was provided the necessary paperwork to list the house. During this whole time, she kept in touch, kept me updated on the housing market, and was very supportive. Her team supports her requesting pertinent information regarding the house in order to provide the most information to potential buyers. We listed on a Thursday morning, had three offers by noon, and when the listing closed on Monday had eleven offers with all but two being full cash offers. Tara worked diligently to ensure this sale went through as smoothly as it could. I will definitely use her again should I need to sell a house. I highly recommend Tara.


We worked with Tara McGuire to sell property and she was fabulous. All of the parties involved lived in different states and she was able to make selling easy for all of us. She was knowledgeable about the current market to aid our decision about the sale of the property, and I highly recommend her for any of your real estate needs!


Tara McGuire of Bramlett did an excellent job marketing and selling our listing.  She was able to generate a phenomenal amount of showings and help us find just the right buyer for our our property.  Bramlett did a great job helping us stage the property and provided excellent guidance through the entire process including closing.  Highly recommended.


BOOM!!! BEST REAL ESTATE AGENT TARA MCGUIRE

The wife and I had a desire to move based on school districts. We explored 3 different scenarios and ultimately landed on a house in the Driftwood area. Tara was always there to support our questions (there were a lot), tour properties (there were even more) and provide a suggested list of vendors to assist with all of the nuances of buying a home. The last 6 weeks were a blur, but with the expert level service and knowledge from Tara we were prepared for every step! Thank you Tara McGuire for making this journey the best!


Amazing customer service. Tara McGuire was a godsend. Not easy transitioning my mom to assisted living after 52 years in her house, or so I thought. Tara took it and ran with it putting my mom at ease. Tara McGuire, you ROCK!

 


This is the second time we’ve worked with Tara McGuire, and it not only met the extremely high standards she set the first time, but far exceeded them. Tara is hands down one of the best realtors we’ve ever worked with. She maintains consistent communication and is always available for any and all questions. She is very knowledgeable of the market and comes forward with a competitive, yet realistic approach to sell your home. She has an amazing team that sets you up for success and walks you through each step of the process. Our experience with her is one we will always remember, and she will forever be our go-to with any real estate needs. Thank you, Tara, for an unmatched experience, and for helping us get exactly what we needed in the journey to sell our home.


I have known Tara for over 20 years, she has guided me into investment properties and I can't be more grateful. Because of her I now own a cabin in Durango! We just sold a property, we hit SO many snags, she had patience and was completely on top of everything we had to deal with. I am so grateful to have Tara in my life as my friend and realtor. Thank you so much Tara McGuire, you are truly one of the most amazing people I know!!!!


I had never sold a house before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Tara McGuire and her team made it an easy to understand what was going to happen at any particular time and what was expected of me as a seller. I've already given Tara's name to some folks in the neighborhood who may want to sell their house in the next few years and will continue to refer folks to her.


Arlene helped us purchase our first home ever and we could not have been more lucky to work with her. She helped us well beyond our expectations and guided us on all things from areas, price competition, home layout, home quality, and much more. We are so happy with the house we found together and we will be referring Arlene to everyone we know buying in the Austin area.


Earlier this year my husband was in final interviews for a job out of state, and we contacted Tara McGuire with Bramlett Residential to start the conversation about selling our condo in South Austin. We did some research about Austin realtors and saw all the wonderful reviews about Tara and they are 100% the truth - she's fantastic!

Tara was so quick to get back with us and schedule a meeting, and she was so informative and helpful even though we weren't positive we were going to be moving. Once we heard definitively that he got the Michigan job, Tara and team worked fast to help us get our condo ready to sell. Her advice at every step of the way was incredibly helpful and made a stressful time planning a cross-country move much easier. Staging, photos, etc. went really smoothly and their timeline was excellent. It did take us around 2.5 months for an offer, but there was a lot of competition in our neighborhood with similar condos and townhouses on the market. We were getting updates each week about how to move forward, when to lower the price, etc. Tara was really communicative throughout the summer when it was on the market and was super helpful responding to any of our questions or concerns.

We highly recommend Tara McGuire if you are looking for a realtor. Thank you Tara and team for your expertise, professionalism, and great communication at every step of selling our condo during a weird 2023 summer real estate market!!


My wife and I worked with Tara McGuire to buy our first home together. We started the search back in December 2018 and took six months to find the right home. During that six month period Tara never pressured us to pick a home. Best of all she is great negotiator when it comes to the contract. We definitely recommend Tara specifically and Eric Bramlett Residential generally.


Thanks to Tara McGuire with Bramlett, we sold our house before it even hit the MLS! She had great recommendations on how to get our house looking its best with minimal investment and effort. Always responsive, Tara knows the market well. We appreciated her straight forward approach and sound advice. Our sale could not have gone any better, and we're thankful for a stress-free transaction.


I cannot say enough fantastic things about working with Tara McGuire at Bramlett Residential.

When I reached out to Bramlett via the online contact tool, I had already spoken with several realtors in the Austin area. My inquiries were met with lackluster responses, likely because my husband and I didn't plan to purchase for several months. But when I contacted Bramlett Residential at 10pm on a weeknight, Tara called me first thing the next morning. She encouraged us to visit Austin soon, since we are relocating from Dallas, to get an idea of the neighborhoods and market.

During this exploratory trip, we felt no pressure to buy ahead of our schedule. She gave us a great overview of central Austin neighborhoods and helped us narrow down the best areas for us.

As we watched desirable properties sell in 1-2 days in our ideal neighborhood, my husband and I decided to offer on properties earlier than we planned. Tara helped us construct desirable offers that won the deal two-out-of-three times in multiple offer situations.

We offered and were accepted on a property that we expected to have some foundation problems. Tara arranged for multiple foundation repair experts to evaluate the property before the inspection and send estimates. When it turned out that the foundation was very severely damaged, we were able to walk away before the inspection, saving us the additional expense. I never felt pressured to continue with a purchase that turned out to require more than I felt comfortable taking on; in fact, Tara made sure that I knew exactly how much of a project it would be.

We are now under contract for our second property, past the option period, and closing is right around the corner. We are very pleased that we are ending up in our ideal neighborhood and in a house we love.

Tara is very prompt with email and texts, and she's enthusiastic at every step. Be sure to ask her for vendor recommendations as well! She seems to know all of the best people for mortgages, insurance, and more-with the most competitive pricing.

I hope we stay in our new home for a long time, but we will definitely be using Tara for all of our real estate needs, as well as recommending her to everyone we know.


Working with Tara McGuire at Eric Bramlett Residential Real Estate has been a genuine pleasure! We are both buying and selling a home with Tara's help and she has made a stressful process less so with her professionalism, care, knowledge and expertise. She and her team have walked us through every step, helping us make decisions, advocating for our need, and generally going above and beyond what might be required. We have moved into a beautiful new home and are working on getting our old home ready to sell. From vendor recommendations to help with staging, Tara has been there to ensure that we are going to get the best bang for our buck! I highly recommend Tara and her team.


I worked with Tara McGuire at Bramlett on a property purchase in the Austin area. We are moving from California and didn't really know the area. We are purchasing multiple homes for our own property, and for rental investments. Tara knows the Austin market VERY well and told us where we would optimize on our investments. She not only understands the purchase market, she knows strong rental markets and was very attentive to our needs and responsive to our questions. She handled our walk with our builder since I was in California, and connected me with a fantastic broker who bent over backward to get us the best pricing options too! If you are looking for a GREAT agent, Tara is your person. If you don't believe me just look at her online feedback.....5 stars across the board. We will be leveraging Tara for the next property this summer.
