Buyers

We absolutely love working with our clients and we love nothing more than helping them have a wonderful buying or selling experience. Over the years, our clients have graciously written 1000+ reviews about their experiences on sites like Google, Yelp, & Zillow. We've collected them here.

To whom it may concern;

Ahem... Vicki Duran was an absolute rock star!

Abridged Version: We closed on time at a lower price than expected and could not be happier!

Unabridged Version: As a first time home buyer, she repeatedly handed me answers to questions I hadn't even come up with yet. Then for those few questions that did manage to remain unanswered long enough to leave my mouth, she quickly produced either answers or resources where I could find said answers.

Our home viewing tour that ranged all over the greater North Austin area was exceedingly well organized (everything moved quick, but nothing felt rushed). Then, after we pounced on a new construction, Vicki made herself available to help us review the builder's contract and walked through the property with us for the pre-closing inspection. I'm pretty sure she had some magical surgeon in a far-off land swap her human eyes out for those of a falcon, but I didn't get a good enough look to confirm this.


I recently worked with Linda and successfully on closed a property that was a bit of a long shot. We cold called and she was immediately helpful in getting us information about the place, finding out where we could get answers to some complicated zoning questions, and communicating with the seller's agent. We eventually had our offer accepted after several prior ones fell through - this was definitely a case where a good agent keeping us on the seller's radar was a necessity in making this happen. We were also able to complete the deal from out of town, which can often be difficult but Linda made it simple and straightforward. She also has a good network - we've been satisfied with the professionals that she has referred us to for inspections, etc.


I worked with Vicki Duran to pickup a lovely new build in Georgetown. I was moving from CA, so the logistics were a bit challenging, but Vicki worked with me closely to accommodate my house house search when I would come to town to view homes. She was patient, knowledgeable, professional and all around great to get to know over the course of my home search! P.S. Despite Vicki being very busy, she will always make you feel like you're her only client. Somehow, she manages to be quite responsive despite the high volume of work she comes across in today's insane Austin-area market.I would highly recommend Vicki for any real estate needs and I'll be working with her again very soon!


Lauren was superlative as always.  There's a reason I've worked with her on a dozen transactions or so and will continue to do so.


The transaction was easy as could be. Lauren is amazing and makes transactions so easy. She goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly and even helps to coordinate inspections, repairs ect. We have now bought two homes and sold one with Lauren and all three transactions have been a breeze. Not to mention that both purchases were highly competitive and she was great at strategizing and we got them both. Since working with Lauren we have also bought and sold homes in other states and both times we had to do so much more and it was a much bigger hassle. We often talk about how we need a Lauren in the other states we own in. We actually had a conversation recently about how we may as well keep investing in Austin because Lauren makes it so easy.


This is my second time working with Vicki and she's an absolute star. We loved working with her and she is one of the best in the business.10/10! Vicki is an incredible advocate for the buyer, potentially to her own detriment- which gives me a deep level of trust and confidence. She was ready to negotiate hard even when we were not, and she talked us down from overpaying for a house (when she could have gone along with it and enjoyed a better commission). She truly had our best interests from start to finish, and thanks to that she has a client for life.


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!


Lauren was over and beyond our expectations and was by far the best real estate agent we have had. Her detail to everything was amazing, especially since we were out of state. She is smart and knowledgeable and would highly recommend her to anyone.


Overall the transaction went great, but Lauren was the main reason it went well especially since we were out of state.  There were many follow ups and walk throughs for a new build and she was instrumental in helping with those. Lauren did everything well, but especially just owning the whole process and being persistent with the builder.  She had great insight to anything we asked and brought up things that we hadn't considered and she clearly had our best interests in mind.  We've used many agents in the past and Lauren is above and beyond the best we've used.  She was a referral from a friend of a friend and I'm glad it worked out!


We worked with Lauren Yoder to purchase our new home in the Austin area. We could not have been happier with the work that Lauren did for us. Lauren was referred by a friend of ours and we are glad we gave her a call! She listened and understood our goals to ensure the homes we viewed fit our parameters and finances. Much of our home buying process was done virtually and Lauren did everything possible to make it easy for us and worked out better than we could have wanted. Lauren works extremely hard for her clients, she is thorough, responsive, and knows her stuff. Give her a call for your real estate needs, you'll be glad you did!


We recently purchased a home and used Bramlett. Katie was fabulous! She was hard working, very friendly, and communicative! We were moving from out of state, so Katie would go see listings that we were interested in and take videos. They were extremely helpful for us to help make a decision. She always kept us updated! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thanks so much Katie and Bramlett


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.


Vicky Duran has been extremely helpful for us in finding us the right home! She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable with the purchase and pay attention to the details throughout the buying process. Vicky is a great real estate agent who we would highly recommend.


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!


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.


Before we got in touch with our realtor, Kasey Gilliam, we had put in numerous offers on homes in Austin only to find time and time again that another offer was accepted. It was incredibly frustrating and it felt like we were completely out of our depth (we were). With Kasey's help, we were able to make the right offer on a place and move into closing within DAYS. She bent over backwards to make the process easy for us and any time we had any questions of concerns, she was there to answer. Even after closing, she has continued to be a huge help with referrals to reliable painters, cleaners and contractors to tackle a few things we wanted done before we move in. Cannot recommend enough, if you really want to close on a place, go with Kasey!!


Austin was very responsive and helpful in finding me a good investment property. He was pretty accommodated to all of my asks and always kept me updated on the situation. Really appreciated!


We worked with Katie from Eric Bramlett Partners Real Estate on the purchase of our home in Buda.  She did an outstanding job all the way through the process!  We have bought and sold several properties over the years and Katie is one of the best real estate agents that we have had the pleasure of working with.  She helped us select the right property, guided us through the bid and negotiation process, and helped us every step of the way to ensure that all details were covered.  Her insight, expertise, and hard work allowed us to be the winning bid without over paying which in this market is very important.  We highly recommend her and the Eric Bramlett Partners Real Estate group and will use them again when needed.


Working with Lauren was fantastic! We are first-time home buyers and had a lot of questions and concerns. Austin is a difficult market as a buyer and despite the fact that winnings bids were as high as 20-25% over-asking we managed to find a house, in the neighborhood we wanted, at a price range we were comfortable with.

Lauren helped us every step of the way, recommended trusted partners (lenders, inspectors, etc.), and is continuing to offer help now that we're moving in which we really appreciate it! I genuinely felt like she was looking out for our best interest and I would recommend her again and again.


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.
