Craig’s Testimonials

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!

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!

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 Partners, 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 Partners to anyone, without question.

Craig McGuire has been exceptional throughout our home buying journey. The whole process was such a mystery to us initially but everything seemed to effortlessly fall into place with the help and guidance that Craig provided. I was particularly impressed with how informed Craig is and that he was able to communicate his knowledge to us so that we could make calculated decisions. To top it off, Craig is cordial and has a great sense of awareness. We would not hesitate to work with Craig or anyone at Bramlett Partners in the future.
