Buyers

My wife and I have been working with Eric for over a year (yes, a year)...he's THAT patient. Our previous realtor was more like a pushy car salesman, which adds an additional layer of stress to such an important decision. Eric has patiently shown us multiple houses and understands what we're looking for. We still have yet to buy one, but I guarantee you when we do, it'll be with Eric. Would highly recommend him to anyone, especially first-time buyers.

I met Eric in 2006 when I helped him publish a real estate magazine he used to advertise listings. We became friends after that and hit the lake pretty regularly. I referred friends and family to him and he always did a great job. So, when it was time for me to finally buy, it was an easy decision to ask him to help me out. I've always lived downtown, but wanted a place with a yard, so we looked in 78704 and East Austin. At the end of the day, I really liked how East Austin felt, and what I could buy over there. We looked for about 6 months and made offers on a couple of places I wasn't that excited about, but I finally found "the one" and we contracted it. The transaction wasn't very tricky - there weren't any "gotchas" that people always talk about. Eric was probably a big part of that, but I guess I wouldn't know. At the end of the day, I couldn't be happier with his performance. There's not much more you can ask for in an agent.

Eric recently helped my husband and I find our new house in Austin. It was a daunting task since we were not familiar with the neighborhoods or the market, and therefore plunking down a significant chunk of our savings made us very uneasy. Luckily Eric was very knowledgeable and completely understanding of all our needs and concerns. We loved his easygoing style but also had complete confidence and trust in his ability to negotiate and get the deal done. Eric was very professional throughout the entire process-he explained every step of the way, educated us on the different parts of town, and answered questions/addressed concerns in a prompt and comprehensive manner. Eric also got to know what we liked. He encouraged us to see as many houses as we wanted in order to ensure we felt confident about our purchase. After many months when we finally viewed the house we ended up buying, we knew it was the one for us. Cliché perhaps, but accurate. In a nutshell, Eric will give you his opinions (and sound advice) but allow you make the decision for yourself. Along the way he will be your strongest advocate and work hard to get the deal done. Eric was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him.

Eric Bramlett is an incredible broker. I purchased a vacation home from him in 2012. It was very important to me to be as close to downtown as possible, but I didn't want a condo. I didn't know it at the time, but central Austin neighborhoods are very different, in a very short space. You can go a mile or two in any direction, and the prices & neighborhood feel change dramatically. Eric is well versed in central Austin and helped me learn the neighborhoods and understand the pros and cons of what I could afford in each neighborhood. After we found the right house, he was integral in the smooth transaction. I'm now the proud owner of an awesome bungalow in east Austin and it's truly my home away from home.

Being a first time home buyer itself can be very intimidating and added to this, the rate at which good homes were selling quickly had us worried about the home buying process. We were referred to Eric Bramlett by my brother. He did not disappoint at all. Eric was very patient with our questions and always gave good detailed explanation.

Few things about Eric that makes him standout from other realtors.

1. Knowledge: Eric has deep knowledge of the market and is well informed.
2. Availability - Eric was available round the clock to answer our questions. You can text/call/email him and be sure of getting an answer in less than 2 hours (2 hrs. being the worst case scenario)
3. Contacts: Has access to a lot of resources. Ask him a contact for a small stuff like a home insurance agent or something big like loan, Eric would've a contact for you instantly.
4. Inspection process - Eric patiently walked us through the inspection document and not only helped us prioritize the problems but also negotiated with the seller for the repair costs.
5. Post sale support: On the closing day, Eric met us at the title company and sat through the whole 2 hours to ensure our questions were answered during the title transfer process. Not just that, Eric touched base with us a week after we moved in to ensure we settled down okay. Talk about great customer experience.

To summarize, Eric Bramlett is the best realtor in Austin, hands down.

We were planning to relocate to Austin Texas this summer and started our search for a good realtor last year as my husband planned to fly out and just check out Austin and some neighborhoods. As there are many realtors with stellar reviews it was hard to chose and actually just because it's 5 stars yelp review sometimes you don't get 5 star customer service when they get busy. Actually I had to look for a new realtor this spring as our other realtor never really got back with us when we tried to email or call him.

Nevertheless when I contacted Eric over yelp he responded to me within an hour and connected me with Meredith who is a relocation specialist. She was amazing!! Really listened to all our wish list items and set us up with a great selection of homes in great neighborhoods. Unfortunately due to family emergency she was not able to meet up with us when it was time for my husband to fly out to Austin and check those homes or but she connected us with Vicki. This was the smoothest transition ever within a team. Vicki was updated about our situation, she knew exactly what kind of homes were looking for. She even picked my husband up from his hotel and showed him all the homes within a day.

We found a dream home and during the entire process of paper work, talking to the seller, lender, home inspection. Vicki was there for us. She responds to our emails/texts/calls immediately. We feel very well taken care of considering we are purchasing a home in Austin while we are still in California.

If you are thinking to relocate to Austin, Texas and need a realtor team who will take care of you all the way through closing and all the way until you step your foot into your new home, this is definitely your real estate team!

I reached out to Eric because of his strong reviews on Yelp and he did not disappoint. He helped me purchase a house in the campus area for my son to live in while he attended school at the University of Texas. Eric has an extremely strong understanding of the central Austin market. As an out-of-towner, the price differences within a few blocks were perplexing. Eric explained to me not only what the price differences were, but also why they were priced that way. Eric is intelligent, patient, and never condescending.

Equally impressive is Eric's understanding of construction and what to expect in an older property. The property we purchased is on pier & beam construction and was built in the 1940s. Eric helped us avoid potential pitfalls (cast iron plumbing,) and explained what to expect in central Texas pier & beam construction (it will move over time.) He set our expectations prior to the inspection and helped us prioritize what needed repair and what could be safely "lived with."

All in all, Eric is a 5 star agent. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and couldn't recommend him any higher.

I had a great experience using EBRRE for buying an investment property. Eric is extremely knowledgeable about the buying process and really helped us make a good, informed offer on a home that already had multiple offers on it. He was a professional negotiator once our inspection came in, and he made the closing as smooth as possible. His advice and experience were invaluable throughout the whole process. We will definitely use Eric again, and frequently refer friends to him.

If anyone is looking to re-locate to Austin or to purchase a home, I'd recommend working with Will Mackintosh at Bramlett Partners. He is professional and very experienced with the Austin market & surrounding areas. I was flying into town from NY for just a few days and communicated with Will via email. I was interested in a few condos and he quickly responded and provided me with a detailed breakdown of rent comps and an investment analysis on all the units I inquired about. This included HOA fees, estimated mgmt fees, insurance, interest rates etc. The data helped me understand the market and also the appreciation values year over year. Receiving this prior to my arrival was great. This shows how prepared Will is as an agent. He works with #'s and that's the most important thing when considering a purchase.

Will was friendly and kept me realistic when it came to what I could find with in my budget parameters. He even put me in contact with a local lender who I connected with to answer my questions in regards to loan approval and interest rates for investment or secondary properties. Having fast and good client service is important when you are making a buying decision. Will was quick, responsive and very helpful for someone looking to re-locate.

Bramlett Partners helped me and my family find a perfect home and keep a deal together with a difficult seller and lender that delayed my closing.

Since we were relocating to Austin, I was looking for a broker that would be more responsive and give us a better level of customer service. Eric and his team exceeded our expectations. He responded quickly to all our requests, and worked with us and our unique requirements (over a 6-8 month period) even though we were unsure about what we wanted at the outset. I found that he has a deep understanding of Austin real estate market, and an uncanny ability to quickly lay out the trade-offs of living in various neighborhoods. Finally, when we were interested in making an offer for a home we liked, he encouraged us to look at alternate options to make sure we were confident in our decision about the house we wanted.

Since we were unable to close on time due to lender delays, Eric was instrumental in working with the listing agent to keep the deal together and negotiate extensions with a difficult seller and frustrated buyer (us). During this period and after we closed, Bailey (on Eric's team) ensured the inspection was done immediately , completed the final walk-though for us, and helped us set up the house the way we wanted since we were not moving for another month.

I highly recommend Bramlett Partners if you are looking for a broker that is sharp, diligent, very knowledgeable about Austin real estate, and works alongside you to meet you and your family's unique needs in a new home.
