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.

It was a pleasure working with Shaun! He helped us close on our first home! From the beginning it felt like a great match, he answered all of our questions with patience and you could tell he knows the market and real estate. We never felt pressured or rushed to jump into anything that wasn’t the right fit and he was very responsive. With his help we found a beautiful home that checked our boxes. For my next property, I‘ll be calling Shaun again.


Shaun was awesome! He was super resourceful, knowledgeable and always willing to help. As first time buyers, we didn’t know a lot of things but with Shaun the whole process was way less stressful. Shaun is someone that we could trust knowing that he had our backs and our best interest at heart.


I bought my first home on the East side of Austin while working with Zoe Wafelbakker a few months ago, and I had an excellent, seamless experience. Zoe was always available to answer questions (and I had many) and her Austin real estate expertise and interpersonal skills are top-notch. She handled the few minor issues and hurdles we faced with ease and grace which meant the buying process was fairly stress-free for me, and we never had to deal with full-on problems. I highly recommend Bramlett and Zoe if you are looking to buy a home in Austin and would like to work with someone who really understands the market and its players and maintains excellent relationships with the other agents in town.


Vivia was wonderful to work with. She was transparent and patient with us first time homebuyers throughout. We appreciate how much she cared about us finding the right home for ourselves along with helpful advice and a positive mindset along the way. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful realtor.


Yolanda Johnson from Bramlett Real Estate was amazing from start to finish and stayed in contact with us. Since we were a first time home buyer she helped educate and guide us through the process and made us feel comfortable. She was able to answers all of our questions that we had. I would highly recommended her and she exceeded all expectations. If you’re looking for a realtor that cares and is just as invested as you I would contact Yolanda and her team.  


As first time homebuyers, we had numerous questions and concerns, but thanks to Yolanda’s exceptional expertise, dedication, and guidance the entire process was smooth. Yolanda went above and beyond and helped every step of the way. Highly recommend!


We had a fantastic experience buying our house with Nancy Guilloteau. Throughout the whole process, she was incredibly responsive, proactive, thorough and helpful, and guided us through every step with detailed explanations. As first-time homebuyers, we found her expertise immensely valuable and recommend working with her without hesitation.


We worked with Yolanda and she made the entire process so simple, especially for us first time home buyers! She was always available to reach out to and was very quick on getting us what information we need. Definitely would recommend this company and her!


We loved Yolanda! She was very quick, efficient, and informative. We are first time homebuyers with very little knowledge of how things worked and the little things that pop up during the process. Yolanda was so sweet and helped us understand everything. We definitely trust her and recommend her.


Robin was an absolute pleasure to work with. As first time home buyers, she provided invaluable guidance on how to best navigate the Austin real estate market and helped curate a great selection of houses for us to look at it. She was also extremely responsive whenever we had any questions and, although we were buying the house remotely, she keep us in the loop each step along the way. Can't recommend her highly enough!


Throughout my entire home first home-buying process Ms. Lisa Sterling was patient enough for me to come to a conclusion on what the right choice for my wife and I. Not only did I walk away with my dream home she went above and beyond to ensure I got a great deal and took care of many tough talks between the contractor and me. It saves a lot of headaches and time having the right representation on your side


I had a good experience in finding my first home at round rock using the support of Sage.. she was very knowledgeable on the area and helped me with all the minor details and made me very comfortable as a first home buyer. I highly recommend her for any new home buyers looking for a realtor.


We had a fantastic experience working with Jeremy Vandermause for the purchase of our first home. Jeremy was very knowledgeable about the market and answered all of the (many) questions that came up in our first home search and home buying process. Would highly recommend working with Jeremy to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.


We had a great experience working with Patrick Hallett from Bramlett Partners as first-time homebuyers! One of the standout qualities that set Patrick apart from our previous realtor was his complete absence of any pressure tactics. Throughout our home-buying journey, Patrick never once rushed us into making an offer, which greatly reduced the stress associated with this significant life decision. Patrick's patience was evident from day one. He took the time to address all of our questions and concerns, providing us with the guidance and information we needed to feel confident in our choices. As novices in the real estate world, we had numerous inquiries, and Patrick's willingness to explain every detail was a tremendous asset. Moreover, Patrick's commitment to our home search was remarkable. He accompanied us to a multitude of open houses, ensuring we had the opportunity to explore a wide range of properties. His knowledge of the local market was evident, and he consistently shared valuable market comps with us. This information was instrumental in helping us make informed decisions when it came time to put forward offers. Thank you Patrick and Bramlett Partners!


I am a first time home buyer in Austin. After reaching out to Bramlett about my situation, they took care of me immediately with collateral to educate myself not only on the market in Austin, but the milestones and steps it takes at a high level to purchase a home. Zero pressure, simply informative. Danny De Luna was my realtor (ask for him if possible) and I started working with him in August with a proposed timeline of February/March to find something. I would send him Zillow links daily via email on houses of interest, and he gave me immediate feedback on what to look for and red/green flags. We eventually started looking at houses in October together, and he will tell it to you straight in these home walkthroughs. Trust is everything, and I felt like Danny treated each house from an unbiased perspective. We closed on the home yesterday! There was never an ounce of pressure, doubt, or insecurity working with Bramlett. I will recommend anyone go to them for the Austin market. After this process, I will go no where else in future transactions. Thank you!


Working with Meaghan Marks was a great experience! As a first time home buyer, I was oblivious to the process and she helped every step of the way. I would definitely use her again!


Julie Stoakley with Bramlett Partners was nothing short of personable and helpful from the first contact. Julie explained each step of the way which was nerve-settling for first-time home buyers. There was never any pressure, just kind guidance when we had questions. We would 100% utilize Bramlett and Julie in the future and refer to her as well. Amazing experience!


Abby's the best! We were first time home buyers and super overwhelmed by the whole process at first, but Abby broke things down for us every step of the way and made everything so easy to understand. She even hustled to set up a showing for a house on the 4th of July for us - talk about dedication! Super impressed with her professionalism and would definitely recommend her to assist with your home-buying journey!


We feel incredibly lucky to have found Lindsey Pearlstein as our realtor for our first home purchase, and she made the entire process seamless, even during the busy holiday season. From the very beginning, Lindsey showed an in-depth knowledge of Austin and the surrounding markets, providing us with invaluable guidance. Despite the holiday season, Lindsey was always available, responding quickly to our texts/emails/calls. When we sent her a whole bunch of houses that we were interested in, she reviewed them thoroughly and promptly. Her feedback was not only comprehensive but also included important insights, pointing out red flags and what to pay attention to during house tours. We really loved Lindsey’s honesty as well. She candidly discussed the pros and cons of each property. At no point did we feel rushed or pressured into making decisions. When we finally found the house we wanted, Lindsey's negotiation skills truly shined. She helped us in preparing a strong offer and took the time to thoroughly explain each aspect of the offer during a call. Despite multiple competitive offers, our offer was accepted. Lindsey's ability to maintain close communication with all parties involved was crucial in expediting the closing process. Despite the holiday rush, we were able to close in just 20 days! Even after the closing and our move-in, Lindsey has continued to stay in touch, offering assistance if needed. Her dedication to client satisfaction extends beyond the transaction, creating a lasting relationship that we truly appreciate. We 100% recommend Lindsey to anyone in search of an exceptional realtor!


My fiancé and I are so glad we went with bramlett to purchase our first home. Molly did an exceptional job by representing us a our realtor. She made the process so smooth and helped us understand every step of the way. Her knowledge of homes in general was very helpful. Will definitely be coming back when we ready to purchase our second home.
