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.
I've known Eric for a number of years. When I moved to San Diego, I decided it was time to sell my house in Lake Pointe. Since I wasn't in Austin, Eric was instrumental in preparing the property for market. He did a great job with that, and a phenomenal job marketing it. We had an offer on the property within 2 days, but it wasn't quite asking price. Eric advised me to counter back at asking price, which we did, and it turned out to be a good move. The end result was a full price offer in 3 days!
I worked with Lauren Yoder and she was AMAZING. She was extremely patient and knowledgeable (which is incredibly helpful as first time home buyers). She really looks out for her clients and will do everything that's in the client's best interest. Can't recommend her enough!
When we decided to move out of state to Austin, when didn't know how to approach finding a new home. Luckily, I came across The Bramlett Residential Real Estate name. When I contacted them, little did I know they would put me in touch with the best realtor we'd ever had the pleasure of working with: Tara McGuire. From the first time we spoke with her, we knew right away that we found someone who would listen to our needs and fight for them. We've all had an experience with an agent who pushes you to buy something just to get their commission...not Tara. She made it perfectly clear that making sure we got what we truly wanted was her #1 goal. I know some folks give you lip service on this point, but Tara walked the talk. We looked at dozens of homes and at no point did Tara get frustrated or try and push us in a direction just to get us off her hands. She even would point things out that she was concerned about...I don't know about you, but that is NOT the norm and we appreciated it more than she probably knows. Simply put, Tara is the best in the Biz and we are so grateful to have found her. It's safe to say we will be entrusting all of our future real estate needs with her. Thanks for everything, Tara!
Eric and team helped us purchase our home in Austin while we were living across the country. The 4 days we flew in (with 3 kids) to look at homes, he went above and beyond educating us on the area and showing us almost 20 different homes. Never losing patience with us...or our children! We found our home and put in an offer while waiting in the Austin airport for our flight back east! He was our eyes and ears on the ground here in Austin while we were back east, always offering to be where we could not and giving us recommendations along the way.
Eric is extremely fast at returning phone calls, emails, and texts (even with a difference in time zones). We felt confident leaving our new home in his care while we could not be there. He continues to have our best interests in mind, even after our closing. He is the first person I contact for referrals and recommendations. He has never let us down and we have continued to use his extensive team of contractors. We would truly be lost in Austin without having him to reach out to.
Eric and team will forever be our go-to people for any real estate purchases in the future!
Vicki Duran! We worked with a few agents who made us go under contract prior to Vicki and were thoroughly disappointed. Vicki...however surpassed our VERY high expectations. We are on the west coast and Vicki was able to help us move fast on an investment property with multiple bids within 24hrs of closing on our very own new build. 2 homes within 48hours. Vicki is a seasoned Texan who is sharp, knowledgable, honest and hard working. She has earned our trust by clearly communicating and executing smoothly. She will have our continued business for the long term as well plan to continue to invest in Texas.
We've had an extremely pleasant experience with Eric selling our house. His whole team is very knowledgeable but more importantly very patient and proactive. Eric himself is always reachable. From the start he provided valuable, detailed instructions on how to stage the house, and gave us recommendations throughout the negotiating process. His original estimate of the selling price was on the dot. We were able to sell our house at a satisfactory price in a short period of time even though we were out of town during the whole process. Hands down the best realtor I've worked with.
I found Eric when I was relocating from San Francisco to Austin. I knew I wanted to live really central, but I wasn't sure which neighborhood I would like the most or what I could afford, as it seems like things can vary quite a bit within a few miles. We looked north and south of the river and explored different neighborhoods on our search - Eric was very patient with all my questions about each - and I decided on buying in Travis Heights, which I absolutely love living in, the definite right choice. Unfortunately it was a tight seller's market (still is Austin), but Eric led the way and helped me get the house I wanted without any issue. I didn't ever feel pressured and he wasn't "salesy", thank goodness... he's been a great resource to me afterwards too with vendor recommendations.
We were so blessed to get Tara McGuire as our realtor. If I could give her more stars I would! From the first day we met I knew she was the perfect choice to work with to sell and buy our new home. She provided the right insight into what we needed to do to get our house ready to sell and at the same time helped us find a new house. Tara is phenomenal at her job. She walked us through every step, always available to answer my many questions, never put pressure on us but instead patiently guided us. I thought I was crazy to try to sell n buy a house right before the school year started but Tara and her amazing team handled everything behind the scenes. She made the whole process very smooth and stress free. She provided exceptional customer service! Was also so sweet to refer us to a great lender, and other businesses we needed. With her guidance and knowledge we sold and found our beautiful new home in a month.Look no further, Tara is the realtor You've been looking for
We were making one the most challenging moves of our lives, relocating from California to Austin. With no prior knowledge of the area or the market, we quickly realized that we needed a real estate professional. It was disheartening at first that some agents did not want to invest time in us when we were in such early stages of our decision making process, if we weren't ready to buy right then and there- until we met Tara Mcguire of Bramlett Residential Real Estate.
She treated us just as importantly as a tenured client, taking us through the different communities with the amenities and price points. After shopping for a neighborhood, it was a matter of getting know our likes and dislikes which honestly took over a year with numerous trips in between. Throughout this time, Tara built a relationship with us of implicit trust that led us to finally purchasing home. She held our hand throughout the process and has provided excellent referrals for a lender, insurance, and may other services that we would have had to figured out on our own. We are very thankful for the commitment and level of professionalism that is demonstrated by Tara and is carried through the Bramlett team.
We worked with Vicki Duran, to buy a house in Leander. Vicki is an amazing agent, she was super helpful with everything that we were doing, she was very open and helped us to see enormous amount of properties in two days, and provided all the information that we needed.
She also literally saved our deal when we had to re-negotiate deal closure delay. I believe she is the best possible agent we could even think of, I could not be pleased more. I definitely recommend Bramlett Residential and Vicki Duran.
I don't know where to begin to rave about Eric and the team! I've sold houses with good realtors before, but Eric Bramlett Realtors is just a different level of expertise and service at every turn! Responsive, professional, focused on our best interests (even gave us advice that went against his best interests, without any hesitation), and knows the Northwest Hills market exceptionally well. Also, the realtors we worked with were all genuine, good people I enjoyed interacting with.
We originally tried with a friend's recommendation with a local realtor and it never panned out, he always acted as if he was too busy. When I got with Craig, we never felt that we weren't his top priority. We contacted him the first time on 12/12/19, had a small area to work with and a lower budget, but he got us into the perfect home, in the perfect spot in the perfect neighborhood. Couldn't be more happy with our interaction and will make sure anyone I know goes not only to Eric Bramlett, but to Craig McGuire.
We moved to Austin from LA and wanted to purchase as soon as possible. After interviewing 4 realtors over the phone, we knew we'd be in good hands with Eric. He asked all the right questions and was realistic with what we could expect with our budget and wishlist. A bonus, Eric also has a ton of experience in remodeling homes and is an investor himself. This was really helpful as we not only wanted to explore home options but investment opportunities as well. Almost a year after house hunting with him and his team, we finally closed on a house last weekend and couldn't be more thrilled. We saw dozens of homes and took our time, but Eric was always patient and persisted through with us.
Eric genuinely wants his clients to maximize the potential of their home. He's full of ideas for renovations, layout, vendor recommendations and even details such as what light bulbs shine the best! Not to mention, he's just a really cool guy. House hunting can get draining but it helps when your agent is down to earth and can crack a joke or two :)
I would say the 3 most important qualities in your realtor is that they are honest, knowledgeable and engaged. Eric and his team hit the mark on all points and we'll be using them again for any future purchases/sales.
I hired Eric because he is a straight up professional and clearly better than the three other agents I interviewed.
Eric uses data. He has a project plan. He works with good people. Every contact was professional and a pleasure and NEVER a waste of time.
If you expect people to do their jobs well, you won't be disappointed.
Wow. I can't say enough good things about Eric Bramlett and his team at Bramlett Residential. I have had several experiences with realtors and my experience with Bramlett Residential was by far the best!
I expect consistent communication and updates whether or not there is any new interest in my property and Eric went above and beyond. I was never wondering what the status of my property was during the entire process.
I highly recommend Eric and his team to anyone who wants to have a pleasant experience while buying or selling their house. Professional, courteous, highly knowledgable and always responsive. Thanks Eric, I'll be using your services again.
My family is relocating from California to Austin and per a friend's referral, we contacted Eric to see if they could help us find a lease property. He set us up with Bailey and she was a total godsend!
Bailey was so helpful, sweet, and professional. The few days I was in Austin to look at homes, I had my 10 month old with me. Bailey was so great and patient with me and her. (Think having to get baby in and out of car seat at every property, wanting to play, then nap time fussiness)
Though I know a lease is not as lucrative as a buy, she never gave us less than her 100%. She really went above and beyond and helped us find the perfect home for our family.
We will definitely be working with Bailey again in the future when we purchase a home.
My husband found Eric on the Internet, fairly randomly, and I can not believe how lucky we got! Eric is an awesome realtor, and my husband and I could not be more pleased with our experience working with him. My husband and I have different personalities and tastes, and Eric was able to work with both of us equally well. Eric is professional, patient, and knowledgeable, and is extremely quick to respond to texts, emails and phone calls. My husband and I worked with Eric over the course of more than nine months, and I always felt he had our backs. I knew I could trust Eric to tell us the truth about a house or a neighborhood, which was critical because we were moving from out of town. I would not hesitate to recommend Eric to any of my friends or family!
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 live in California & needed to sell my condo in Austin, Texas. I took a leap of faith in choosing Eric Bramlett as my agent through good reviews & comments on Yelp. He was by far exceeded my expectation. He was very professional, informative, & knowledgable of current market price. He made extra efforts to make the sale possible & reduce my stress since I live so far away. I couldn't have done it w/o Eric & his team. I'd strongly recommend Eric & his team to anyone who is looking for a good, reliable realtor in Austin, Texas.
My boyfriend and I contacted Eric Bramlett Residential via their website, after reading great Yelp reviews. We were referred to Will Mackintosh. As first time home buyers, the Austin real estate market can be very intimidating. Will set up an MLS listing search that alerted us to new listings that met our criteria. When we were ready to tour, Will was very flexible with scheduling showings. He is very laid back and not at all high pressure ,which matches our style. After making several offers that were declined, Will encouraged us to keep looking. He promptly responded to our emails (sometimes freak-outs) and educated us about the process as we went. Will even helped us diffuse a situation with a pushy listing agent after closing earlier this month. Although we hope to not be in the market for a new home for quite a while, we will certainly recommend Will to family and friends!
We finally made the move from San Diego to Austin this summer. We were blessed to find Eric Bramlett through an Internet search a year and a half ago when we first began considering Austin. I could tell right away during our phone conversations that he was real, detailed, and extremely knowledgeable in regards to almost every neighborhood in the Austin area. He even knew a lot about the schools, which appealed to us greatly. We made four separate trips to Austin to house hunt, and Eric was awesome! He was patient, good with our children, and was efficient at pinpointing neighborhoods we would like. In addition, he answered every question we had quickly and in great detail. He even did research on cost of various remodel options so that we could consider those things in relation to price as we home shopped. In my opinion, we were not easy clients. We had to opt out of a contract or two within our option period, and we ultimately did not make Austin our home until a year and a half after we began the search with Eric. Yet, he was extremely kind, understanding, professional, and patient throughout the entire process. When we finally did make the move, we were under great time constraints due to a job. But because Eric knew our preferences and parameters of what we wanted in a house, he was able to find us a wonderful house in a perfect neighborhood for our family, and close it for us in 7 days. Did I mention we didn't see our home in person until we arrived 1 day before closing?! And we absolutely LOVE it! The best house we have seen for our family, by far. Thanks Eric, for your professional attitude and kind hearted, honest approach to real estate! You were refreshing to work with, and we now consider you a friend.
Being a first time home buyer in this crazy Austin feeding frenzy market can be quite intimidating. I was referred to Eric Bramlett by a trusted friend. Eric and his assistant Bailey were fun to work with. They were both patient with my learning curve, tolerant of my freak out moments and knowledgable beyond their required licensure. They got me all the information I needed before I needed it and even worked around my 60+ hour work weeks to get me into properties. Even after the sell Eric had many trust worthy contacts that delivered good service at great prices for needed repairs. I'm ecstatic to be settling into my wonderful home! Thank you Eric and Bailey!
We were in the market for our first investment property and looked online for a good realtor, so we gave Eric a call. He was very approachable, and gave us all the details, provided some insight on investment properties and what to expect. He was able to meet with us on short notices as well. Overall I would highly recommend Eric for any of your realtor needs.
We have worked with Eric since 2012 over several purchases and a sale of our house. He walked us through the process and also gave us guidance on the locality and location each and every time. Eric also helped us with our last home purchase where we had several interesting road blocks and he helped us guide through those. Eric has your best interest in mind and will make sure its done right. He was always available and approachable. I highly recommend Eric and his team for your real estate investments or personal moves.
I had thought finding a good, reliable, professional, prompt, easy to reach, has my best interest in mind type agent did not exist in Austin area until I found Eric. He is all of that and more. It started with an easy call that explained my goals to him and within two hours I got customized emails with properties I should target.
Eric offered his insight into property condition, fair offer price based on market condition and history/geography and desirability of the location. He even recorded video walk through of the properties for us.
Always had my best interest in mind. Offers we wrote would get us considered, but fair for the property. We had one really bad seller agent try to get us into a badly maintained property by trying to pull some legal technicality on us (which they were wrong about). Eric patiently, expertly and professionally navigated the situation and got us out of the mess without too much stress on my side.
We finally got an investment property that Eric picked for us (he knew what we were looking for so well), and is now managing it for us. He also helped me with local load and insurance agents who are equally responsive and professional as him.
Highly recommend using him for your real estate needs.
My realtor was Tara McGuire and she was wonderful!
I cannot thank them again for all of the hard work and fast response.
If you are willing to buy or sell in Austin/Round Rock or surroundings, make sure to contact them.
My girlfriend and I worked with Eric to find our first house. Eric was able to position our offer correctly and we won out over other competing offers. Our lender turned out to be a nightmare, but Eric was able to keep the seller engaged through multiple extensions to our close. Couldn't have been more impressed and happy with Eric's professionalism and empathy throughout what turned out to be a pretty stressful process due to our lender. I'd recommend Eric to anyone.
Update. I first met with Eric on Oct 15, my 2nd day in Austin. I closed on my purchased property on Nov 23. That's not a typo. 5 weeks. And my new home and neighborhood is... spectacular.
And I'm a thorough buying investigator. Probably much more than most. I combed through many neighborhoods, listings. I vetted many options online and via discussion with Eric, and looked at 50+ properties (possibly many more?) in person. So... I'm not an "easy" shopper. I did not just look at one of the first few places I saw and said "I'll take that one." We -worked- on this home search, intensely.
This was my first single-family home. I had questions galore. Eric never blinked. He was incredibly and continually responsive. (Again: the lone, 1-star reviewer of Eric claimed Eric wasn't responsive; my experience is the total opposite. And I'm quite possibly one of the more-demanding personalities you'll meet.) Further, he doesn't miss a beat, no missed issues, all commitments kept and solid, everything scheduled precisely without a hint of impatience--an excellent skill. And it's remarkably valuable to have a partner like Eric for whom you need not track their work - it makes my effort so much easier.
Finally, Eric works hard to align with your goals. Yes, buying agents have an inherent conflict of interest: they get paid more solely if you spend more (on a property). However, if I get any sense that my buying agent is pressuring me inappropriately, I'll immediately cease the partnership. There was never, ever a hint of problem in this arena.
There's no way all the above gets done in 5 weeks without Eric and his team. Thanks guys.
Thanks to our agent Lauren the whole process of buying a home felt much easier than expected. She did a great job relaying information and breaking down the process so that we didn't feel overwhelmed. We had a few setbacks with repair items before closing but Lauren handled it in a way that didn't add stress to our lives. She is highly competent and also a really kind and caring person. I have full confidence in her and have recommended her to friends.
Professional and efficient ! This year we bought our first house with the help of Eric. It is very stressful because we never went through the process before but Eric was amazing and explained us everything. He really made everything go easy ! I especially liked working with him because he has been very honest the all way, telling us when he thought something was wrong rather than just pushing us to buy ! We had to go through the all paper process from New Hampshire and Eric has been amazingly available. I would highly recommend him to anyone !
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 sold my mother's house in late 2014 and I dealt with him through the whole transaction. Her house wasn't in very good shape, but he helped us find a price that made it sell quickly while we were still able to get a good price. The buyer wanted a bunch of repairs, but Eric explained that we'd already accounted for that in the price, and we didn't have to fix anything or pay for any repairs.
Eric knows central Austin very well and is pleasant to work with . He and his assistant Bailey were always available by phone or text. They are very good at communicating and answering all questions and concerns. I gave Eric 5 stars because he's good at what he does and cares about his clients.
What a great guy. I met Eric though a referral and was very pleased. Eric is very plugged in to his net work of contacts and was very helpful and responsive. He as everthing I would have hoped for in a realtor; responsive, knowledgable, concerned and helpful. I can't say enough good things about the guy. Thanks Eric.
