First Time Home Buyer

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.

As a first time homebuyers and recent new comers to the Austin area we couldn't ask for a better real estate agent than Jeremy Vandermause. He's friendly, responsive and he has a really good knowledge about Austin and its suburbs. As the start of our house buying process he provided us with a lot of information about the suburbs of Austin and also about the house buying process and the current market. He was willing to come with us to visit multiple listings in some days. We really appreciate Jeremy's patience with us during this process. Without him guiding us through the every step of the house buying process, we wouldn't be able to find our dream home. We highly recommend Jeremy to anyone looking to buy a home in the Austin area. Thank you very much Jeremy. It was a pleasure working with you.


Joe Gage helped me purchase my first home in Austin. I was a remote buyer, and Joe went above and beyond in doing detailed video showings and arranging home inspections to make sure that the builder did everything right in building my home. Joe also helped with arranging my homeowners insurance, and making sure all deadlines were met. Highly recommended.


Jeremy Vandermause did a fantastic job for my wife and I when we purchased our first home. He went above and beyond in every way. Even in Austin's white-hot real estate market, we felt confident navigating the process with Jeremy's guidance. He was super responsive to emails, calls, and texts any time we needed him. He went to all the walkthroughs and inspections and even sent us videos when we were not able to attend. Can't say enough about how positive our experience was.


Trey Blanco helped us buy our first home in one of the hottest markets in the country and we couldn't be more thrilled! We are so grateful to have had Trey on our side, and can't recommend him enough.


Working with Lauren Yoder and Sarah Crowson has been an absolute pleasure as my husband and I ventured to buy our first home in Austin, TX. They were patient with us through out the process allowing us to digest it all make clear decisions. While we bought our home while physically being in California, it brought a lot of challenges with viewing, closing etc. Lauren and Sarah made it a priority to include us in all steps of the process and went above and beyond to keep us in the loop and make sure we are comfortable! If you are looking to buy a property in Austin, I highly recommend Lauren and Sarah from Bramlett Partners. They are professional, friendly, honest, extremely resourceful and make buying a home easy!


Becky Welch has been a lifesaver in guiding first-time home buyers through a whirlwind of a market. She went above and beyond to make sure we were well-informed, and kept us in the loop even while we were coordinating from out of town. Without Face-Time property tours with Becky we would not have been able to make this happen. I would highly recommend.


Trey Blanco was fantastic to work with. We started our home buying journey in late February when we first reached out. Things got pretty serious only a few weeks later when we started making offers on homes. The first home we went to see had 5 separate parties waiting outside for the open house when we pulled up (it ended up having 28 offers when it eventually sold). Trey helped us to navigate this crazy market (which is even crazier as a non-cash buyer) until we found our new home! Trey is very prompt in his communications and very knowledgeable about the home buying process and the Austin market. He coached me through every step of the way (which, as a first-time buyer was absolutely essential).Did I mention Trey has an awesome personality? He's funny, caring, and honest. I learned that you spend a ton of time with your real estate agent -- so it's pretty important that you get along well. Trey never made me feel scared or dumb, he didn't pressure me into anything I wasn't comfortable doing, and he was honest in his recommendations. I can't imagine having gone through this process with an agent I didn't personally like. Highly recommend Trey Blanco if you want to work w/ Bramlett and are choosing an agent.


We were first-time home buyers from California in the hot Austin market. We have an opportunity to with with Kathryn Strand and it was an ease and professional experiences for us. Kathryn is excellent and delivered a good communication in timely manner. She is patient, professional and knowledgeable to advise us to get our dream home. Although we have been through a very competitive market, Kathryn walk us though the buying process and remove all blockage and concerns. Moreover, she was very responsive and was able to set up viewings for us on short notice. Looking forward for our next property with Kathryn and the agency. Amazing experience !


We could not be more pleased with the help we received from Patrick Hallett and the folks at Bramlett Partners. As first time homebuyers in the very difficult Austin market Patrick helped us remain optimistic and ultimately find and secure the perfect house for us to call our first home. We are so grateful to have had your guidance during this trying process. Thank you again for all of your help!


Kathryn Strand helped me in summer of 2021 to find my first home. She is very professional and easy to talk to, which was very comforting during such a stressful time to buy a home. I appreciated how honest she was with me and led me in the right direction when deciding on houses. She is extremely trustworthy to do business with. I would recommend her to anyone! Thanks again, Kathryn!


Thank you to our wonderful realtor, Patrick, on his unwavering help with finding our dream home! My fiancé and I were in the market for our first home and had tons of questions, wants, needs - you name it. Patrick did everything he could to help us find exactly what we wanted. He was patient, kind, and super flexible. He turned what is normally a very stressful experience to a very seamless one. We can’t thank him enough. If you’re ever in the market for a home, Patrick is your guy! We can’t recommend him enough. :)


Lauren was incredible to work with! This was our first time buying a home and the market was crazy/overwhelming. Lauren helped us at each step and made the process as easy as possible. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable. She fought with us and for us when our builder was moving slower than they should. She was patient and kind to us when we asked her a million questions. If you are looking for a realtor, I highly recommend Lauren! I honestly don't believe that you can find anyone better!


We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Yolanda. We were first-time homebuyers with very little knowledge about how to find the right place. We met with a couple of realtors before Yolanda, but we knew instantly that she was the one for us. She is honest and she really helped to take the pressure off of us. In short, she was always on our side working to make our house purchase as simple and successful as possible.


My Fiancé and I have been in our house for 3 months now and we couldn’t be happier! Yolanda was amazing to work with throughout the entire house hunting and buying process. She was available anytime we needed her whether that be scheduling last minute home showings, answering questions or communicating with our construction team! As first time homebuyers, Yolanda was a dream to work with and helped us understand everything throughout the entire process, even past closing! We would highly recommend anyone to use Yolanda as your realtor! We couldn’t have done it without her!


It's been two weeks since I moved into my very first home and I have Yolanda to thank for that. She was always available to answer the MANY questions I had throughout the process, she really listened to what I needed, and she helped me find the perfect home for me. I'm so grateful for her patience and amazing attitude at every step of the way. Yolanda truly goes above and beyond for her clients.


Yolanda helped me find my first home. It was a very overwhelming process for me especially in this market but she was with me every step of the way! Additionally, she had a great sense of my wants and needs, so much so that one of the neighborhoods she suggested looking is where I ended up buying my place! Very thankful for Yolanda for finding the perfect place for me!


Yolanda is a great realtor 🙌🏻 She helped us find our home in less than a month, we are first time homeowners and she definitely made the process go by super smooth. She was patient with us! She helped us find the lender that we needed, & helped us with every single question that we had. Thank you so much Yolanda, we’ll definitely recommend you to our friends.


Eric was instrumental in helping me purchase my first home. Eric is not only a responsive, informative, and knowledgeable agent - he is also a very patient and kind person. I never felt rushed, and I could at all times tell that Eric was first and foremost concerned with finding me the right home - which he did. Eric helped me navigate a difficult listing agent, an unprecedented market, and a lot of firsts. I couldn't be more grateful to him. Thank you, Eric!!


Becky is just awesome. She helped us find the best suited house for my family needs. Not only finding the house, as a first time buyer, she helped us to guide and mentor during each & every step till closing and after that. She is extremely awesome for following things until those are done in the way, it should be. No matter what time, she was always available. Becky is very committed to her customers. It was really a very nice learning experience, and never had such a smooth closing without Becky's help. Once again, thank you so much, Becky. Will always recommend your name to all my friends and family members.


There aren't enough positive adjectives for me to describe Lindsey's working style. If I *HAD* to pick 5 I'd say she is Knowledgeable, Thorough, Clear, Dependable and Patient. She sold me my first ever property last spring and made sure to address every question I had, never making me feel silly for asking it, or not knowing. A little over a year later, when my work took me from Austin to NYC Lindsey made the process of identifying a tenant seamless. In fact, I left for NYC almost immediately, and Lindsey took care of everything back in Austin. Lindsey goes beyond her role as realtor and fiduciary, she empowers everyone she works with educating them with the information they need to make smart choices -- such a pivotal role when you're making the biggest investment of your life -- and your literal livelihood is on the line. As a result of our time working together, I trust Lindsey implicitly and consider her a friend. Austin is lucky to have her in the real estate world!
