Buyers

Eric and Bailey are amazingly helpful! We both sold our condo and bought our new home through EBRRE.

First, Eric made sure we received all the help and information on how to best present our condo before putting it on the market. Ours was a difficult sell, as it was in a high-priced market and only a one bedroom. He kept us in the loop about potential buyers’ opinions after viewing the property, and we were able to make adjustments quickly. The pictures of our condo made us wonder why we were selling in the first place.

Even when we hit a snag with a loopy “potential buyer”, he worked quickly and professionally to disengage and get my house back on the hot list.

It only took a couple of months and we had a buyer and received just a little below asking and above our final goal.

Second, we had a very specific “forever home” in mind that was really what we thought would be a pipe dream.

He sent me homes that fit the bill on a very regular basis and immediately sent me homes that came almost exactly to what we wanted. Bailey would make sure I could see the house as soon as possible (to fit my schedule) and at times we would be in the house within the hour. The market is tight and we actually had several homes bought out from under us within hours, but they did an amazing job of keeping us focused on “the perfect home.”

When we found “the one” it was on a Friday afternoon in which Eric was out of town for the day and Bailey had the afternoon off. Not only did she make arrangements to see the home immediately (30 minutes!!), she met me and helped keep me grounded to make sure this truly was it. We actually found a home with all the weird quirks we wanted and would never have dreamed to find something like this in the neighborhood we hoped at the price we could afford (they never pushed us or introduced homes “just a little over” as most agents we have found do).

EBRRE made sure we got our bid in in such a way as to entice the buyer without going into a bidding war (there were other offers). We were in contract within just a couple of weeks and had the home by the end of the month.

They also escorted us through the legal release and purchase and made sure our new home would be everything we hoped.

I couldn’t be happier with EBRRE and the wonderful people who made my forever home happen so smoothly.

Thank you Eric and Bailey!

My husband and I were considering relocating from CA to TX. We were referred to Eric by a coworker who had previously worked with him. Eric is extremely knowledgeable, not only about real estate in general but knows the Austin market very well. His insights were very helpful when we went to visit and check out properties for the first time. He was prepared with many properties for us to view in our short trip out there and provided additional details for us around different neighborhoods in particular.

During the offer and closing process, Eric was very responsive and communicated well. He referred us to Max at PrimeLending for our home loan. The two of them are a dream team and work together seamlessly which helped us first time home owners immensely. We are now well educated on the home buying process and feel confident Eric & Max got us the best deal possible on our new home. Eric has followed up with us many times since the close of the house and has referred us to a contractor who we have hired to do some cosmetic upgrades for us.

Overall, Eric helped us throughout the entire process and still continues to. He really did make our first time home purchase an easy, quick and pleasant experience.

If you are looking for a Real Estate Agent in the Austin area you can look no further. Eric and his team have gone above and beyone to help us purchase our first home.

My wife and I are relocating from SF Bay Area to Austin and he has helped us out every step of the way. He did not pressure us whatsoever or try and sell us on any property, he was very candid and made sure we were comfortable with our purchase.

To show what kind of standup guy Eric is, we were driving from one house to another and there was a HUGE turtle in the middle of a busy street. He pulled over, stopped traffic, and moved the turtle to safety! What more could you want from a real estate agent! LOL

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.

Couldn’t be more thankful to have Eric Bramlett as my broker especially for my 1st ever home purchase! He was personally recommended to me by the builder I work for and as soon as I engaged him with interest he went to work. Being in the construction industry I was mindful of ideal locations to invest in and didn’t need to bother with numbers. Eric though took the initiative to provide evaluations anyway which is one of the many examples of the sort of consideration he puts into working with you. My interest was mostly with affordable new construction which he provided options to weigh out. It is helpful he is interconnected and is able to provide personal feedback on developers he has worked with. It is also refreshing to have someone as invested as you are in your dwelling. Such a good experience and would certainly seek Eric Bramlett as my broker again when needed. He is exceptional!

I’ve employed Eric and his team to purchase twice and to sell two properties. So, I feel like I know quite a bit about how they work, and I couldn’t give them a higher recommendation.

On the sell side: Eric is very systematic and thorough, and selling my first home I talked to quite a few realtors, I was really comfortable with Eric and his team, never feeling like I was asking a stupid question, and I asked a ton of questions. He has a great team of staff and contractors that helped me stage the homes, photograph the homes, last minute repairs to help the value, and they marketed the heck out of the homes. He gave me great advice with regards to pricing and strategy. We sold with multiple offers on one property (above asking) in a hotter area of town within 24 hours of listing and we sold very close to list price on a second property in a less hot market. He was available and promptly returned calls and emails. After we were under contract, he helped us negotiate repairs and kept us informed until we successfully closed. A+ all around.

On the purchase side: Eric is available, informative, and honest. He or Bailey were always available to view any property within 24 hours, usually just a few hours and they helped me look at the pros and cons of each property. I wasn’t rushed in any way, and again I was comfortable looking at enough homes to make sure I got exactly what I wanted each time. Eric provided honest opinions of each neighborhood and the market value of each property. In short, he didn’t just try to get a quick sale, but really helped me through the process (This proved it’s value as my first purchase through eric we sold under a year for a substantial increase in price)

I have recommended Eric to a number of friends and family and will continue to do so. He’s a true advocate for his clients and I absolutely enjoy working with him, I hope to never move again, but if I do I know who I’m calling first to sell.

I have been working with Eric Bramlett for the past 8 years. I have purchased many homes and remodel them and have felt the professionalism from Eric’s team every time I have sold one. The Bramlett team is specialized in all areas of listing and purchasing homes. One example is the team for staging, this team arrived when they said they would arrive and left the home spectacular. I would recommend Eric to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home in and around the Austin market. Thanks, Orlando

We are new to the Austin area and were so blessed to find Eric. He really listened to our needs/wants and took us on a tremendously helpful tour of Austin. He was a wealth of information about everything, schools, market trends, shopping, nightlife, vendors, etc. When it came time to purchase our home, he fought on our behalf to get us the best price possible. Above all, the trait I appreciate most in Eric is his honest approach to real estate. He operates with integrity that is hard to find these days. We are so happy with our new home in Austin and we have Eric to thank.

I cannot recommend Eric Bramlett and his team enough. As first time home buyers, Michael and I had A LOT of questions. Eric was patient with us throughout the process and extremely knowledgeable about each area and home (…and we looked at 25+!). Central Austin is an extremely hot market and if you like something, you have to check it out immediately before someone else makes an offer. Eric was extremely flexible and available to tour homes with little to no notice. He was honest with us about properties and pricing, even if it was something that we didn’t want to hear. When we made our first offer, the seller didn’t even respond. Although we were frustrated, Eric assured us that our offer was fair and we shouldn’t up the ante. When we finally found the perfect home in Travis Heights, things got a little chaotic when the seller’s Realtor tried to back out of an executed contract after a competing offer came in. The situation almost resulted in a law suit, but Eric stood behind us and fought to find a win-win solution. Although we are so excited about our new home, we’ll miss seeing Eric every week!

We used Eric this summer to both sell our house and buy a new one, and the process could not have been smoother! Eric is very knowledgeable about Austin real estate and has extensive experience both in buying and selling as well as remodeling. He is the opposite of pushy but is always there with information as soon as you ask and has recommendations for everything from a yard company to a mortgage broker. He is very easy to communicate with and has a process setup for getting a house listed (including a professional stager, professional photographer, and detailed market analysis) which I am convinced got us more money on our house than we would have gotten if we used someone else. Eric and team exceeded our expectations and were so nice to work with. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
