Our Reviews
I felt overall the transaction was very smooth and fast. I think communication was the key and he did pretty well. His excellent idea about the local market and communicating the same was very good throughout the process.I didn't find anything missing as all went smooth. Hoping to get Shaun's to help again in the future as well.
Bailey did a fantastic job. She was very good about keeping us in the loop about everything going on. She knows her job well I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you and your company for making this easy for us.
Kasey was absolutely amazing! I came to her as an aimless buyer. I didn't know if I wanted a house or a condo, I didn't know what my budget was, I didn't know a thing about Austin, and Kasey could not have been more helpful. With one day's notice, we were in properties touring and talking through my likes and dislikes. Within two days of our first call, we had seen seventeen locations. When we finally did settle on a condo, there wasn't the perfect floor plan for me, so she took it upon herself to go off-market to see who would be willing to sell, and sure enough, she found someone. Multiple times she met me wherever I was staying and took calls well outside of business hours. She was a fantastic resource in the negotiation and then proceeded to talk to designers for me out of the kindness of her heart. I couldn't recommend Kasey enough; she will always be my go-to in Austin!
Lauren Yoder is a top-notch super-stellar real estate professional! She helped me buy a home, and I am so lucky to have found her. She is kind, knowledgeable, thorough, high-quality; and she listens!
Lauren, a Broker Associate at Bramlett Residential, not only answered all my questions (and I ask a lot of questions), I always got the sense that my questions were important and that she was paying attention to what was needed. And she was! The result was a smooth house-buying process.
Lauren goes that extra step for her clients. She heard what I needed and sensitively and kindly took action. For example, before the transaction ended, the Texas Freeze happened. I had some questions related to appliances - that she was not only happy to answer, she sent helpful diagrams!
And she provides lots of bonus information too. I think real estate is in her blood. She knows the process and is an awesome guide along the way; she knows how appliances and devices work and can explain what might be needed; and of course she knows the required real estate documents backwards and forwards as well.
Please reach out to Lauren if you are buying or selling a home. You will be glad you did. I am!
I worked with Kasey end she was amazing. We had a very strict requirement list and even created a spreadsheet with values. Kasey made sure looked at the best houses that were reasonably priced. We actually ended up finding a builder that matched all of requirements and within budget. Thanks to Kasey this process was super easy and she answered all questions around what types of things would increase the resell value. Also she was able to connect us with a great lender and after pricing around to get competitive rates Kasey’s recommendation was the one we when with.
My wife and I, somewhat on a whim, decided to start looking into options of building a home out of state, and the Austin area is where we ended up honing our search.
A Yelp search for Austin realtors brought up highly rated Bramlett Residential, and a handful of other highly rated real estate firms that I ended up reaching out to so that we could recruit a realtor to teach us a bit more about the Austin area, and to help us figure out where around Austin we wanted to narrow our search.
Craig McGuire from Bramlett was the first to reach out to me - within 30 mins of submitting my online inquiry, Craig reached out to me via phone to introduce himself and to gather some information about what it was my wife and I were looking for. From there, the rest is history.
The most nerve wracking aspect of this process was the fact that we were out of state buyers looking to build a home in an area that my wife and I were not familiar with. On top of that, once we settled on a location, my wife & I would rarely be present during the build process.
We cannot thank Craig enough for the all of his help and insight he provided us throughout the nearly 9 months of working with us. Craig made the entire process easy, and left us with much less stress than we had anticipated we'd be faced with.
Craig was always willing to text, talk via phone, conduct FaceTime sessions, etc. so that we had the information we needed, to answer our questions, to walk us through the home as the build progressed, and to act as someone that gave us general guidance at any point in the process.
Another thing I appreciated about Craig was his non-real estate background and what that brought to the table. Craig's personal background in both construction and lending were also extremely valuable and insightful throughout the process, and helps to shape Craig's overall value as a realtor.
We were never pressured with Craig - he always wanted to make sure we were as informed as possible before making any decision.
We couldn't be more pleased with Craig and what he offered us during our 9 month build process. Whether an in-state buyer, or an out-of-state buyer, I'd recommend Craig McGuire & Bramlett Residential to anyone, without question.
I just had a fantastic experience selling my house. Bailey Moran was my agent and she was just WONDERFUL. I think it's easy for a professional to be wonderful when everything goes as planned but it is far more telling how excellent they are when things go wrong. First of all, I am a first time home seller and was completely unfamiliar with the process. Bailey did much more than answering my questions, because I didn't even know what questions to ask. She provided such thorough information in our initial consult I felt like I had an excellent grasp on the process. She provided a stager...free of charge!...who came out and gave me a complete plan on what to do to prepare my house for showings. I followed their suggestions and the offers I got on my home were staggering...so much more than I had hoped. Here's where things went wrong and Bailey really showed what a fantastic agent does. My home went under contract right when we had a huge winter storm here in Texas. I'm a nurse and I ended up being stuck at my hospital four days straight. When I was finally able to get back home I found my pipes had burst and the house was flooded. I really couldn't imagine a worse thing to have happened. The floors, baseboards and all the doors had to be torn out. There were over 30,000 claims in Austin alone, so there was a huge wait for plumbers, contractors etc...and I was supposed to be closing in two weeks! Bailey worked magic with the buyers, their realtor and even the mitigation team that dried and repaired my house... she got them to create new contracts to transfer warranties to the new buyers, she checked in with me regularly to make sure I was doing okay, because she knew how stressed I was. She was so reassuring and...she just handled everything. She got the closing postponed and when I finally got the repairs completed the closing went off without a hitch. She made what should have been an incredibly stressful experience SOOOO much better! I feel incredibly lucky she was my agent.
And did I mention the actual sales process was so easy and she got FAR FAR more for my house than I would have ever expected? I did, but it's worth repeating. My house was only on the market for one weekend. She is simply the best.
Work with Craig in the past and most recently worked again with Tara McGuire and she was phenomenal sold her house within three days she's very quick efficient and polite and courteous and gets the job done at a high-level. Will definitely come back to her again for any real estate needs!
We worked with Linda Baddour when we were purchasing our home in Austin. As first-time home-buyers we had a LOT of questions, and Linda went above and beyond to answer them all, and find us our dream home. The Austin market is moving quickly right now, and she worked all hours to help us get the deal closed, and in record time. You're doing yourself a massive favor by working with her, you wont be disappointed!
Austin Pitts was absolutely great to work with! He came recommended from another realtor in Dallas, and did not disappoint. His style is very laid back, and not pushy at all. He really cares about his clients and finding exactly what they want/what fits their needs. It's clear he knows the area well, and was knowledgeable on all the questions we asked. When it came to making offers, he was spot on for what would get accepted and where the house would actually trade at. Then, when it came to negotiation and expressing our concerns, he was strategic with communication to the seller's realtor and was able to help us secure the right deal. I would highly recommend working with Austin, and definitely will be for any of our future needs.
First time seller here. I am currently overseas and due to Covid restrictions I was unable to be in the states. I was uncomfortable on the subject of selling my 1st home. I found Bailey Moran online and sent an email. Once she and I spoke on the phone I felt a lot better and I believed I was in good hands. The whole experience was so streamlined and there was no headaches. I still can't believe my home was sold so fast with such little work on my behalf. Bailey and her team were so friendly, responsive, and HELPFUL! I would recommend her to anyone and if I was in the market again in Texas , I would go right back to her!
Eric Bramlett, Will Mackintosh and his team are processional.
They have genius marketing skills, gave me good advices, and actively guided me through the whole process of selling my property.
I am appreciated for their help and will use them again if I have any need to buy or sell a property in Austin, TX area
Kasey has been working with us for a long time now waiting for us to be ready to pull the trigger on that perfect house. She knew what we were looking for and knew we weren't in a hurry and that did not deter her from providing the best service and responsiveness. After what seems like years she helped us find that perfect house in a market so insane that actually getting that perfect house after you find it seems near impossible but Kasey made it happen. We highly recommend Kasey and will work with her again if we need to.
Tara McGuire helped us sell a truly unique property with a unique situation involving my elderly father. She took special care to take my dad's needs into consideration, thoroughly screening and qualifying potential buyers as to not cause too much disruption to his daily schedule. She also did her homework to price our unique property and worked to get us the price we were looking for. She listened, offered frank counsel, and proved that her experience and skill were equal to the task. In the end, she negotiated hard for us and we had very successful outcome.
Vicki Duran is hands down the best agent we could have asked for! My husband and I recently closed on our first house, in North Austin, and in the current market the process was even more of an emotional rollercoaster than usual. Vicki came highly recommended from friends and I would say that their glowing reviews did not even do her justice. She truly makes you feel as though you are her top priority, even though she juggles a number of clients, and even though we were new to the process and had a lot of very "newbie" questions. She's savvy and experienced and creative--all major plusses in this intimidating market. If I'm honest, we were tempted to give up more than once during the process given how challenging it is, but Vicki helped us land our dream house. We could not be happier.
Summary: Work with Linda Baddour at Bramlett if you want a quick and easy close!
My fiancé and I decided to start looking for our first home earlier this year and worked with Linda Baddour at Bramlett Real Estate. We were both familiar with how crazy the market had been and were discouraged when we learned that most houses that we would have wanted in the Austin area were getting offers $100k over asking and waiving appraisals. Although it was intimidating, Linda kept us informed of any changes or possibilities every single morning and ensured us that she would find something for us. We definitely kept her on her toes by changing the locations/property type/price range we wanted to look at several times!
I told her that the school system important to me and she sent over rankings and stats at every area we were looking at.
Linda never failed us at any point and rolled with the punches, while also keeping an eye out for our previous interests. She even went as far as to take time out of her day to show us a house on Easter! She eventually found us a VERY rare gem that happened to go on the market and when we decided to go forward, she acted swiftly and quickly and WE GOT IT!
We only spent a little over one week working with her and she was able to get us under contract in that time. As a first time homebuyer, I was expecting this to be an incredibly arduous process, but Linda made it easier than I could have ever imagined.
I would 10/10 recommend Linda Baddour and will definitely be working with her for any real estate needs going forward!
I want to thank Linda Baddour so much for helping us get into our first home and make it such a pleasurable process at a time that should have been incredibly stressful. She's the best!
Strongly recommended. Jeff has been helpful and responsive. He helped us check on the house building process and took pictures weekly. Five stars!
The transaction went very smooth. Craig was very knowledgable and helpful every step of the way. This was our first time buying new construction and Craig was very helpful in navigating the ways it differs from buying an existing home. Honestly, Craig went above and beyond. We were out of state buyers so Craig was literally our eyes and ears on the ground. He especially went above and beyond after the ice storm. On the day he got back in town (after being strand out of town himself due to the storm), he went over to our house to inspect it for any damage related to the storm that would have delayed our closing which was 2 weeks away.
My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Linda Baddour to find our dream house in Austin. Being out of state, and new to house buying, my wife and I were a little apprehensive about the whole process. Lucky for us, the first person we spoke to was Linda, and she was so great to work with. She walked us through the whole house-buying process and how to navigate the hot Austin house market. We met up with her during a house-hunting weekend, with very little expectation of finding a house and/or making a competitive bid. Surprise, surprise, not only did we find our dream house at a great price, Linda helped us bid competitively in a sellers market. We managed to close on the house we wanted, and we could not have done it without Linda's help. We can't thank her enough!
I live in CA and Vicki Duran was referred to me as a "must-use" Real Estate Agent in Austin, TX. Being a RE Agent myself in CA, I appreciate referrals but don't have any expectations. Well, Vicki was/is amazing and an expert in her field. She knows the RE market in the Greater Austin area, better than anyone could. She went above and beyond what is expected of a RE Agent, she is kind, caring and ALWAYS looking after your best interest. I would 100% recommend Ms. Vicki Duran as your real estate agent!
Linda Baddour knocked it out of the park!!!
She is extremely professional, hardworking, and knowledgeable. Linda helped get us into our dream home with a relatively limited cash budget in this crazy Austin real estate market. I wish I could give more than 5 stars, would highly recommend!
Vicki Duran was great. Her experienced showed in terms of advice, helping to negotiate the end deal and considerations after the deal was agreed. Highly recommend her.
We worked with Kasey Gilliam from Bramlett Residential to find just the right place for our next place as empty nesters, and she was super responsive and easy to work with. With her guidance, we managed to be successful in our first offer on a townhouse, even in this super competitive environment. She was always available to answer questions and give advice on the steps required to get to closing. Highly recommend!
We recently sold our home out of Lago Vista with Will Mackintosh as our realtor. As everyone's situation is unique ours was no exception. We spoke with 4 plus other realtors throughout the Austin area and none of them wanted to list at our price we believed to be competitive. Will was pragmatic with his approach and agreed our price was aggressive but not impossible and he was excited to win over our listing. The whole Bramlet team helped greatly to ensure we put our best foot forward in the sale of our home. We ended up getting what we asked for and the transaction went smooth with no major issues. We are very impressed and happy with our experience and highly recommend Will and Bramlet Residential.
I've said thank you so many times that I feel the words have lost all meaning, but I cannot thank Tara and her team enough. Tara was communicative, kind, and straightforward the entire time we worked together. Her team was equally as helpful and friendly. I felt heard and that she had my best interest at heart. This was my first time selling a home, and I lived out of state - to say I was stressed would be an understatement. However, by the time we closed, I couldn't believe the process was already over. I cannot recommend her services enough, and I look forward to working with her again in the future. Thank you, Tara! Thank you for your help, humor, and clear and direct communication. I wish you and your team all the best.
I was initially quite leery of entering the crazy Austin Real Estate market. I’d heard horror stories about bidding wars with over 30 offers, having to pay $100,000 over asking price, and houses not appraising for the contract price. When I first spoke with Craig McGuire of Bramlett Residential Real Estate, he was realistic about the current market, but optimistic that he would find me a place that I would love and would feel comfortable with the purchasing process. Early on, I found a couple of homes that I was tempted to submit an offer for. Craig was thorough in his research of the homes and comps and was able to steer me away from a house that was not going to appraise and another that had potential to be a messy situation all around. When I finally found “the one” Craig went above and beyond to help me put together a strong offer that I could feel comfortable with. He made himself available whenever I need to talk out the situation and alleviate any of my concerns. Ultimately, I was able to have a quick closing on a house that I love with a purchasing situation that was definitely not the nightmare that I had feared. For someone who is considering wading into the Austin Real Estate market, I wholeheartedly recommend working with Craig McGuire!
I found Linda Baddour with Bramlett residential through research on Yelp, and so happy that I did! Being new to Austin and a first time homebuyer, I was pretty apprehensive about the process but Linda walked me through every step and was so patient with all my questions and concerns. I was most interested in a new construction home and Linda was very knowledgeable of all the builders in the area and referred me to a great inspector once it came time- she is definitely well connected in the area! She was always super responsive to texts, calls, and emails, which was especially impressive during the craziness of Spring 2021. Really appreciated Linda’s guidance and expertise - highly recommend her if you are looking for a realtor in Austin!
Looking for a real estate agent that will impress you? Bailey Moran at Eric Bramlett Real Estate did just that. We contacted her to sell our home, and WOW she did an outstanding job. She is knowledgeable, kind, friendly and well-versed in the Austin market. Bailey did exactly what she said she would do, she is very communicative and was invested in us as her client. Our interest was her top priority. Contact Bailey if you are looking for a job well done!
When deciding to sell our house, I contacted Linda as she was a friend of mine and a realtor. Even if I hadn't known her personally, I couldn't have chosen a better agent to handle our home sale from start to finish! In our first phone conversation, she outlined this unfamiliar process and walked us through next steps to prepare our house for sale. We met her at the house to walk through it together, and she detailed action items for us to handle in preparing the house. Her careful eye for detail helped us see things we had not noticed, and she went out of her way to arrange for some things to be done that we didn't have time to do ourselves, even hiring these contractors at her own expense (mulch and power washing, complete staging of the home to add visual appeal).
Always responsive and quick to answer our questions, Linda informed us of all documents we needed to prepare for the sale; everything was easy to review and sign digitally. She is also a certified CPA and advised us on best practices relating to tax and finance. As our liaison between the title company, potential buyer's agents, and others, we fully trusted Linda to handle every detail with care. Bramlett Residential consistently studies trends in the housing market, and Linda helped us settle on an asking price that would bring in the most buyers while selling quickly in a competitive market. When our house went "live", she posted signs, hosted open houses, and advertised our property on realtors' social media to bring the most viewers.
At the close of the sale, Linda went over all offers with us in detail, helping us understand the pros and cons of each so that we could make an informed decision. She coordinated with the buyer's agent to handle everything, including negotiations from the inspection. Linda went above and beyond, even readying a backup offer if the first one fell through for any reason (thus preventing the house from going back on the market and being viewed as less desirable).
We were excited to meet Linda once more at closing, where we thanked her for her careful attention in selling our home. We are thrilled it sold for a competitive price so quickly, and we highly recommend Linda Baddour to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the greater Austin area!
Worked with Patrick Hallett, he was excellent. Just the right amount of support and hand holding through out the whole process. Always extremely quick to return texts and phone calls. Made buying a house extremely easy even in this market. Will use them again.
If you are looking for a seasoned professional with the ability to take on a project as complicated as buying and selling real estate then Tara McGuire is that person. She knows her industry very well, has built a hardened network of resources, and has a talented team of professionals supporting her at Bramlett Real Estate. Tara's experience will give you the confidence and peace of mind that you are being represented by one of the best.
Vivia went above and beyond at every step of the process. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and was an invaluable part of my home-buying experience. From finding the house, negotiating the contract, coordinating the inspection and repair estimates, all the way through to closing she was a trusted advisor the entire time. No real estate purchase goes exactly was planned, and Vivia is definitely someone you want on your team to help navigate the process. I highly recommend Vivia to anyone that is looking for a realtor, buyer or seller.
A true professional! Vivia is an absolute pleasure to work with. Within 48 hours of her listing our home we had 15 offers at or above asking price and were under contract within 72 hours. Her communication and follow-through is unmatched in my experience. Whether working with with the buyer's agent, our lender, the seller's agent, inspectors, contractors, etc., Vivia is always on task or a step ahead. Her knowledge and dedication to her work puts her among the elite in her profession. Vivia gave us peace of mind throughout what can often be a very challenging process. For that reason alone, you should give her a call!
Lauren Yoder is a stellar broker at Bramlett. Our sale went very smoothly, quickly, and better than expected. We had a unique situation selling our short-term rental and Lauren was innovative, creative and enthusiastic. She went above and beyond what most real estate agents would normally do as she worked around our challenges and found a solution using social media that proved to be the best course of action for our situation. She has a wide range of knowledge and experience that has turned into wisdom which she readily shares with her clients. You would be very lucky to have her on your side.
Kasey helped me purchase my first home. She was very knowledgable and helped educate me along the way. She took the time to thoroughly answer my questions and the whole process went smoothly from start to finish.
We had an excellent experience working with Steve Crossland as our realtor this year. The market has been so difficult to navigate, especially this year, but Steve has been incredibly in tune with the fluctuations happening each week. He was very easy to work with, both for us and our eventual buyers. Thanks largely to Steve's guidance, we sold very quickly, for much more than expected, with quick turnaround time to close!
Simon Vand helped us buy our first home during a very chaotic time in the Austin market. I would recommend him to anybody looking for a home in the Austin area. Simon is knowledgeable about every market we looked in, about negotiating with different types of sellers, picking mortgage brokers, and also house quality and integrity. While we looked at properties, he helped us understand potential issues and red flags. He learned our needs and preferences very quickly which really helped get us in the right area and the right type of house; he knew we had found our dream house as soon as I did! I was always really impressed by how much respect he showed for every house we visited, making sure we left them exactly as we found them, every window and door locked, every fan and light switched off, no footprints or smudges anywhere. Simon is an honest agent even when he could benefit from leaving out details or letting us get carried away with high offers. He was respectful of our financial situation and never, ever pressured us to offer more than what we were comfortable with. Simon helped us write competitive offers in many parts of town and his suggestions helped us buy our house without going over other offers. Even on losing offers, we were never discouraged because we were sure that when the right place came along, Simon could help us land it. He helped us understand every part of every offer we wrote and consulted us on absolutely every decision, even when there were "standard" ways to do things. He was always very clear about our rights as home buyers and all options available to us. He always respected the seller's agent positions and communicated with them honestly while advocating for us 100%. Simon was always available to answer questions quickly and made himself available around our schedule to show us properties. We knew of course that he had other clients but always, always, made us feel that we were his top priority. When he went out of town for a week, he was still available for questions and he set us up with a fellow agent, Tyson, who was also really great about showing us houses quickly. With Simon's help, we closed our house a week before we expected to in a time when buyers were missing closing deadlines left and right. We will call Simon again in the future if we ever list our house or want to buy another property, no question.
Worked with Kasey Gilliam on buying and selling our home in Texas. Kasey and her team are the best. Made the process really smooth and less stressful. Kasey is extremely knowledgeable about the current market and guided us to make the right decision. Would recommend Kasey hands down!
Lauren was amazing every step of the way in our journey to buying our first home. She is clearly very knowledgeable in the Austin market (and surrounding areas) and the general real estate market and process. Lauren always made herself available (and continues to make herself available) to answer any questions we had/have throughout the process. She exudes a helpful and positive attitude. She is extremely organized, punctual, and professional. She went above and beyond and sought our best interests throughout the entire transaction. We were truly blessed to have Lauren as our real estate agent.
Kasey was amazing! I felt like she was very up front with us and put our interests first. She went above and beyond to smooth out some bumps in the road with our lender. It was great!
We had a wonderful experience with Eric Bramlett. Tara McGuire was our realtor for the sale of our house in Austin. She did a fantastic job communicating all the steps needed to get the house ready for showings and open house. She has a team of people working for her so every step was well organized and communicated to us. She set up a home stager, handy man, window washer, and cleaner for us. We could always reach Tara even when she was away on vacation! She was always available for questions via text, email or phone. We highly recommend Tara McGuire at Eric Bramlett Real Estate to sell your home!!
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Tara McGuire in selling my home! She literally handled everything and anything you could think of. She was very transparent on what to expect during the entire process from pre-listing all the way through closing. She priced our home after a detailed analysis and explained the ins and outs, the factors for the pricing and everything in between. I could not have asked for an easier transaction and a better person to work with!
Worked with Kristin Wellborn and she was AMAZING! Searched high and low in a CRAZY market like Austin but found our perfect home and did all the grunt work to get us to closing. Made my first time buying a breeze! Highly recommend!
Lauren Yoder was our knight in shining armor. After several failed attempts at home shopping in this wild Austin market, we landed with Lauren and she was a BEAST getting us into a home in 14 days! Lauren was quick, efficient, and super knowledgeable not just about the housing market but everything home buying and ownership related. Her professional contacts helped move everything along quickly and easily for us first time home buyers. We could not have done it without Lauren... literally :-) THANK YOU LAUREN!
My husband and I went from searching for a home for 6 months to finding a home and getting to contract within 4 days with Linda Baddour of Eric Bramlett Residential Real Estate! Incredible service, super knowledgeable and goes above and beyond for her clients. 10/10 recommend!
