Buyers

I found Eric when I was relocating from San Francisco to Austin. I knew I wanted to live really central, but I wasn't sure which neighborhood I would like the most or what I could afford, as it seems like things can vary quite a bit within a few miles. We looked north and south of the river and explored different neighborhoods on our search - Eric was very patient with all my questions about each - and I decided on buying in Travis Heights, which I absolutely love living in, the definite right choice. Unfortunately it was a tight seller's market (still is Austin), but Eric led the way and helped me get the house I wanted without any issue. I didn't ever feel pressured and he wasn't "salesy", thank goodness... he's been a great resource to me afterwards too with vendor recommendations.

We found Eric Bramlett via an online realty website listing Austin area realtors. Because we were impressed with the ratings he received from other home buyers, we contacted him and one other larger Austin firm to interview as potential realtors when we decided to relocate to the Austin area. We first met with the large firm and were dismayed at the way we would be passed from employee to employee for each step of the process. We then met with Eric and were impressed at his reassurance that he would be 'our guy' throughout the entire process. And he was right. Eric was always quick to respond to all forms of communication and answer all of our questions. We were never pushed off onto other employees in his office, although they were always available if we needed them, and were always made to feel like we were a priority. Eric's personality, honesty and experience made our relocation to Austin seamless. We truly felt like no one could have served us better. He is knowledgeable, friendly, willing to share his honest opinion, and yet allowed us to come to our own decisions. We could not recommend Eric Bramlett more highly. His assistance made our new home purchase and relocation from Houston to Austin easy and enjoyable. He is hardworking, loves what he does, and goes above and beyond from start to finish. And on a personal note, he's a great guy.

I hired Eric because he is a straight up professional and clearly better than the three other agents I interviewed.

Eric uses data. He has a project plan. He works with good people. Every contact was professional and a pleasure and NEVER a waste of time.

If you expect people to do their jobs well, you won't be disappointed.

My husband found Eric on the Internet, fairly randomly, and I can not believe how lucky we got! Eric is an awesome realtor, and my husband and I could not be more pleased with our experience working with him. My husband and I have different personalities and tastes, and Eric was able to work with both of us equally well. Eric is professional, patient, and knowledgeable, and is extremely quick to respond to texts, emails and phone calls. My husband and I worked with Eric over the course of more than nine months, and I always felt he had our backs. I knew I could trust Eric to tell us the truth about a house or a neighborhood, which was critical because we were moving from out of town. I would not hesitate to recommend Eric to any of my friends or family!

I had thought finding a good, reliable, professional, prompt, easy to reach, has my best interest in mind type agent did not exist in Austin area until I found Eric. He is all of that and more. It started with an easy call that explained my goals to him and within two hours I got customized emails with properties I should target.

Eric offered his insight into property condition, fair offer price based on market condition and history/geography and desirability of the location. He even recorded video walk through of the properties for us.

Always had my best interest in mind. Offers we wrote would get us considered, but fair for the property. We had one really bad seller agent try to get us into a badly maintained property by trying to pull some legal technicality on us (which they were wrong about). Eric patiently, expertly and professionally navigated the situation and got us out of the mess without too much stress on my side.

We finally got an investment property that Eric picked for us (he knew what we were looking for so well), and is now managing it for us. He also helped me with local load and insurance agents who are equally responsive and professional as him.

Highly recommend using him for your real estate needs.

Update. I first met with Eric on Oct 15, my 2nd day in Austin. I closed on my purchased property on Nov 23. That's not a typo. 5 weeks. And my new home and neighborhood is... spectacular.

And I'm a thorough buying investigator. Probably much more than most. I combed through many neighborhoods, listings. I vetted many options online and via discussion with Eric, and looked at 50+ properties (possibly many more?) in person. So... I'm not an "easy" shopper. I did not just look at one of the first few places I saw and said "I'll take that one." We -worked- on this home search, intensely.

This was my first single-family home. I had questions galore. Eric never blinked. He was incredibly and continually responsive. (Again: the lone, 1-star reviewer of Eric claimed Eric wasn't responsive; my experience is the total opposite. And I'm quite possibly one of the more-demanding personalities you'll meet.) Further, he doesn't miss a beat, no missed issues, all commitments kept and solid, everything scheduled precisely without a hint of impatience--an excellent skill. And it's remarkably valuable to have a partner like Eric for whom you need not track their work - it makes my effort so much easier.

Finally, Eric works hard to align with your goals. Yes, buying agents have an inherent conflict of interest: they get paid more solely if you spend more (on a property). However, if I get any sense that my buying agent is pressuring me inappropriately, I'll immediately cease the partnership. There was never, ever a hint of problem in this arena.

There's no way all the above gets done in 5 weeks without Eric and his team. Thanks guys.

Professional and efficient ! This year we bought our first house with the help of Eric. It is very stressful because we never went through the process before but Eric was amazing and explained us everything. He really made everything go easy ! I especially liked working with him because he has been very honest the all way, telling us when he thought something was wrong rather than just pushing us to buy ! We had to go through the all paper process from New Hampshire and Eric has been amazingly available. I would highly recommend him to anyone !

Eric Bramlett is an incredible realtor. When my wife and I were looking for a realtor to help us relocate from California to Austin, Texas, we were impressed by the quantity and quality of the online reviews for Eric... and let me tell you, they were not incorrect. Eric is very knowledgeable of the entire Austin area, but he was also very accommodating of our timeline and our need to work feverishly to find a home quickly (as it's not easy to go back and forth from CA to Austin multiple homes).

So, the result was that within 3 days we viewed at least 30 homes - and then made an offer. Eric navigated the offer and closing process like a true veteran, foreseeing (and avoiding) multiple pitfalls while negotiating very favorably on our behalf with the seller in a pretty strong seller's market. Most importantly, he's a great guy with excellent family values. I could not recommend Eric any higher or with any more enthusiasm.

I worked with Vicki Duran from Bramlett Partners during my search for a property in Austin. The thing that I liked the most about working with her was her promptness at responding to my emails, calls, messages. She was genuine and made this process seamless. From understanding my requirements to searching for a house and visiting the property (since I am remote), she did it all so fast. It couldn't have been better. I felt comfortable working with her because she is so experienced, genuine and not pushy. I strongly recommend Vicki and would love to work with her again if I get the chance.

Eric did an amazing job helping us through the process of buying our perfect home. We were searching for our first home. He blew us away with his expertise on Austin's housing market, his friendliness, his extreme patience (lots of it, since we changed our minds quite a bit initially) and, what I valued most, his experience. He understood what we wanted and worked hard to assist us in any way he could. He walked us through the entire buying process, turning a potentially painful process to a fun learning experience. I would definitely recommend him to all my friends and family.
