Yolanda Johnson from Bramlett Real Estate was amazing from start to finish and stayed in contact with us. Since we were a first time home buyer she helped educate and guide us through the process and made us feel comfortable. She was able to answers all of our questions that we had. I would highly recommended her and she exceeded all expectations. If you’re looking for a realtor that cares and is just as invested as you I would contact Yolanda and her team.  


As first time homebuyers, we had numerous questions and concerns, but thanks to Yolanda’s exceptional expertise, dedication, and guidance the entire process was smooth. Yolanda went above and beyond and helped every step of the way. Highly recommend!


We had a fantastic experience buying our house with Nancy Guilloteau. Throughout the whole process, she was incredibly responsive, proactive, thorough and helpful, and guided us through every step with detailed explanations. As first-time homebuyers, we found her expertise immensely valuable and recommend working with her without hesitation.


We loved Yolanda! She was very quick, efficient, and informative. We are first time homebuyers with very little knowledge of how things worked and the little things that pop up during the process. Yolanda was so sweet and helped us understand everything. We definitely trust her and recommend her.


Throughout my entire home first home-buying process Ms. Lisa Sterling was patient enough for me to come to a conclusion on what the right choice for my wife and I. Not only did I walk away with my dream home she went above and beyond to ensure I got a great deal and took care of many tough talks between the contractor and me. It saves a lot of headaches and time having the right representation on your side


I had a good experience in finding my first home at round rock using the support of Sage.. she was very knowledgeable on the area and helped me with all the minor details and made me very comfortable as a first home buyer. I highly recommend her for any new home buyers looking for a realtor.


We had a fantastic experience working with Jeremy Vandermause for the purchase of our first home. Jeremy was very knowledgeable about the market and answered all of the (many) questions that came up in our first home search and home buying process. Would highly recommend working with Jeremy to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.


We had a great experience working with Patrick Hallett from Bramlett Residential as first-time homebuyers! One of the standout qualities that set Patrick apart from our previous realtor was his complete absence of any pressure tactics. Throughout our home-buying journey, Patrick never once rushed us into making an offer, which greatly reduced the stress associated with this significant life decision. Patrick's patience was evident from day one. He took the time to address all of our questions and concerns, providing us with the guidance and information we needed to feel confident in our choices. As novices in the real estate world, we had numerous inquiries, and Patrick's willingness to explain every detail was a tremendous asset. Moreover, Patrick's commitment to our home search was remarkable. He accompanied us to a multitude of open houses, ensuring we had the opportunity to explore a wide range of properties. His knowledge of the local market was evident, and he consistently shared valuable market comps with us. This information was instrumental in helping us make informed decisions when it came time to put forward offers. Thank you Patrick and Bramlett Residential!


I am a first time home buyer in Austin. After reaching out to Bramlett about my situation, they took care of me immediately with collateral to educate myself not only on the market in Austin, but the milestones and steps it takes at a high level to purchase a home. Zero pressure, simply informative. Danny De Luna was my realtor (ask for him if possible) and I started working with him in August with a proposed timeline of February/March to find something. I would send him Zillow links daily via email on houses of interest, and he gave me immediate feedback on what to look for and red/green flags. We eventually started looking at houses in October together, and he will tell it to you straight in these home walkthroughs. Trust is everything, and I felt like Danny treated each house from an unbiased perspective. We closed on the home yesterday! There was never an ounce of pressure, doubt, or insecurity working with Bramlett. I will recommend anyone go to them for the Austin market. After this process, I will go no where else in future transactions. Thank you!


Julie Stoakley with Bramlett Residential was nothing short of personable and helpful from the first contact. Julie explained each step of the way which was nerve-settling for first-time home buyers. There was never any pressure, just kind guidance when we had questions. We would 100% utilize Bramlett and Julie in the future and refer to her as well. Amazing experience!


Abby's the best! We were first time home buyers and super overwhelmed by the whole process at first, but Abby broke things down for us every step of the way and made everything so easy to understand. She even hustled to set up a showing for a house on the 4th of July for us - talk about dedication! Super impressed with her professionalism and would definitely recommend her to assist with your home-buying journey!


We feel incredibly lucky to have found Lindsey Pearlstein as our realtor for our first home purchase, and she made the entire process seamless, even during the busy holiday season. From the very beginning, Lindsey showed an in-depth knowledge of Austin and the surrounding markets, providing us with invaluable guidance. Despite the holiday season, Lindsey was always available, responding quickly to our texts/emails/calls. When we sent her a whole bunch of houses that we were interested in, she reviewed them thoroughly and promptly. Her feedback was not only comprehensive but also included important insights, pointing out red flags and what to pay attention to during house tours. We really loved Lindsey’s honesty as well. She candidly discussed the pros and cons of each property. At no point did we feel rushed or pressured into making decisions. When we finally found the house we wanted, Lindsey's negotiation skills truly shined. She helped us in preparing a strong offer and took the time to thoroughly explain each aspect of the offer during a call. Despite multiple competitive offers, our offer was accepted. Lindsey's ability to maintain close communication with all parties involved was crucial in expediting the closing process. Despite the holiday rush, we were able to close in just 20 days! Even after the closing and our move-in, Lindsey has continued to stay in touch, offering assistance if needed. Her dedication to client satisfaction extends beyond the transaction, creating a lasting relationship that we truly appreciate. We 100% recommend Lindsey to anyone in search of an exceptional realtor!


Tammy helped us find exactly what we were looking for as first time homebuyers and made the process so easy!!


Tammy helped my family find a great first home.. we would highly recommend letting her help you


Simon Vand was so helpful in showing me (first time home buyer) exactly what I could expect during every step of the process, answering all of my questions, and finding me the perfect home very quickly. I love the neighborhood I'm in and my house is perfect for me. Definitely recommend working with Simon!


Eric worked with my parents who are from Bolivia and it was their first time buying an investment property in the U.S. He was EXTREMELY helpful as he suggested different options available for them and took them to many parts of Austin so that they could see the different areas (being new to the city this really helped.) Him and Bailey were very professional throughout the process and ensured that all the documents were taken care off and they could go back to Bolivia without any preoccupations. I would definitely be using his services again.


We were first time homebuyers from out of state in a HOT HOT real estate market here in Austin. Determined to find the perfect house in just a 5 day visit to Austin and Eric made it happen! He considered our preferences and lifestyle and communicated with us long distance, keeping us abreast of what was available. Once he got to know us, he was able to encourage us to consider a little wider market (geographically) than we originally planned. We fell in LOVE with Brentwood and found the perfect location. Eric knows the Austin market and is extremely resourceful. He helped us negotiate and buy our perfect house for less than asking price in a market that was selling for higher than asking. He also had great knowledge to share about the city. Thank you, Eric! We are loving our new 'hood!


Overall: Excellent Kristin was amazing throughout the entire process. We are recommending Kristin to all of our friends and family and will be calling her when we sell our home down the road. She was patient, knowledgeable, responsive, both kind and aggressive when necessary, and easy to work with. I was taking 14 hours of grad school classes and working full time and my husband works 7-7 Monday through Saturday. Kristin was very flexible and understanding of our work schedule. We were also first-time homebuyers. She took the time to define all of the lingo, answer any questions we had, and made us feel comfortable throughout the process. She never made us feel bad for not knowing things and never made us feel pressured to do anything. She took a lot of stress off our shoulders and helped us understand all aspects of the process, whether it was the loan or the home inspection report. She is very professional and dedicated to her work. She should win employee of the year - we loved her!


Will Macintosh with Bramlett Residential is fantastic. He is very knowledgeable about the local market and home buying process. As a first time buyer, I had many questions and Will was always very quick to respond with helpful information. Whenever I found a property I was interested in, he would setup same day visits and be available to show them which is a necessity with how fast houses sell in Austin. Will has a no pressure style and and made the entire process easy and comfortable. I would definitely work with him again in the future if I am ever buying or selling a home in the Austin area. I Highly recommend Will Macintosh if you are looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive real estate agent. Pick Will.


Lauren Yoder helped me and my husband find our first house and she was AMAZING. Lauren is very responsive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond for us. She made the process incredibly smooth - she even got us a new roof for free in negotiations! I will be recommending her to everyone I know.
