Eric helped my wife and i with a NO HASSLE house sale! we were on the market and sold in a flash and it was all thanks to Eric and his Fantastic team. These Guys (and Gals) are the BEST.
I don’t write reviews ever, but Bramlett Realty is worth an exception. I found them on yelp after being very frustrated with my husband’s buddy who is a part time realtor / musician. Great guy, but… When picking a realtor, suddenly everyone you know has a friend or family member who does real estate or even better just got their license. JUST SAY NO! This is the most important investment your family will make. We met with 4 agents after we broke up with our first and found Eric. The reviews were right – there is no comparison. He truly is in a league of his own and the absolute most important decision we made during the entire process of buying and selling a home. I was skeptical at first after having been burned so I didn’t put all my eggs in one basket right away. It took about a week of working with Eric to see the difference bw him and the others. I was also skeptical bc Eric told me in April that he had closed 80 houses so far this year (the average is 6). I didn’t think there was any way he would have time to answer my questions (I had a lot ) or give us the attention we wanted during the process of selling and buying. I have no idea how he does it, but Eric makes you feel like you are his only and most important client. If you text him, you’ll hear back in 5 min. If you email him, within 30min and often times he’ll call to go through the email with you and make sure all questions are answered. He will remember what you spoke about last week and the week before that. Eric never made me feel dumb for asking even the most minor questions and he never made me feel like he was put out at having to answer them. If it was important to me, it was important to him. I seriously have no idea how he manages to do this for all his clients but I promise you – most agents do not make this time. I worked with several “”top agents”” who passed me off to their assistants and didn’t return a single phone call or email past the initial visit. Beyond his availability and personal attention lies Eric’s greatest asset as a realtor: you build people and people build a business. He is not out to get what he can (get you in a house way over max budget for max commission and sell yours for cheap so he can get it sold in 1 day). He worked with us as if we were family. If you want a realtor who is going to be a yes man and tell you exactly what you want to hear then Eric isn’t the one for you. He will give you the truth even when it’s ugly and I value that greatly. It saved us many times! Again, most agents won’t. Eric is extremely knowledgeable about all Austin neighborhoods and schools. It’s nuts. I was shocked when I asked him about a very specific neighborhood in Round Rock and he was able to tell me the elementary school by name and which high schools were rated the best in the area and then do it again for 5 other neighborhoods I was considering. Most agents know the area they live in and have to research others on the internet and get back to you. He is a plethora of information and not just about real estate. He “”has a guy”” for everything. Need a window fixed? Eric knows the cheapest and best. Need a new air conditioner? Eric has a guy from San Marcos that can get you the same unit installed for 2k less. Seriously, anything you need done, he can point you in the right direction and follow through with you to make sure you we’re able to get an appt etc. Actually, he set up most of the appointments himself even. He went above and beyond over and over again.
This man negotiates the bejesus out of a contract. It’s such an important part of the process! We negotiated the sale of our new house to the bone and when it came time to negotiate repairs etc on our old house, Eric somehow got a $40,000 list of repairs down to $500. I’m serious. Most of it was pointing out an inspectors mistakes, but Eric took the time to send the buyers source after source via good old google proving their inspector was in the wrong again and again. Most agents would not take the time to do that, nor would they have the knowledge. He has a way of making the other party (buyers or sellers) feel like he is being fair, equitable and reasonable – mostly because he is. Eric was also able to talk my husband and I down from a ledge many, many times when we were anxious, ready to walk or in a rush to hurry things along.
Lastly, Eric’s team is stellar. His Assistant, Bailey, took me to see a dozen houses or more with a smile on her face, at the drop of a hat and on my schedule! She brought me furniture to stage my house to sell, flyers etc. She is extremely efficient, knowledgable and if that weren’t enough – a super kind and caring person who my toddler fell in love with instantly. Eric also has a stager (invaluable) and a professional photographer whom he pays for when he sells your home. It makes a huge difference. Again, Bramlett Realty is the most important and best decision we made in the whole process.
Eric and his staff were outstanding and they now what they are talking about. They made the complex and long process of selling a property and purchasing a new one, as easy as possible.
Eric is simply excellent at his craft. We were first-time home buyers and my fiancé and I found Eric extremely responsive (an incredibly important trait when house hunting) and 100% honest throughout the entire process. He never pushed us in one direction and took into account the feedback we had on each house. Those notes paid off on just our second trip out with him when we found the perfect house for us. Eric was our second realtor and was recommended to us. The difference between our first realtor and Eric was night and day. His knowledge of the local area was off the charts and we felt confident in his advice. Once we were under contract, there were some bumps in the road caused by the builder, but Eric fought for us the entire time and got the builder to give some concessions.Eric also sold our condo in South Austin. He helped with the staging and photography and was able to get us a cash offer well-above asking price in under one week. Eric is very hardworking and we would recommend him to anyone.
I met Eric in 2007 after requesting to see a property I found on his website. Originally, I was looking for a home in Westlake and we looked at a number of properties. Over time, I decided I didn’t want to buy in Westlake and the focus shifted towards central Austin. Eric is extremely knowledgeable about both areas and we’ve looked at a ton of properties. I’ve not pulled the trigger on anything new (for myself) because I own a number of properties in central Austin and in West Austin, and I’ve been trying out both areas in investment properties that I already own. During this time, however, Eric has helped me with a number of transactions. He represented me on an investment property purchase in north Austin, he’s rented out a condo I own in central Austin, and he’s rented out a number of investment properties in West Austin. He’s been great in each transaction, and I couldn’t ask for a better agent. Eric is professional, knowledgeable, punctual, a great communicator, and a great negotiator. Any buyer, seller, or investor in Austin would be lucky to have him as their representative.
I moved here with my family 8 years ago from Ireland, I met Eric and bought an investment property through him. Since then I have purchased one more and recently sold a property through Eric also. He is a wealth of knowledge for us, especially since we moved from over seas and were not familiar with the area. I will never use anyone else to buy or sell a house in Austin. His patience showing us around in the heat of Texas can only be admired, he never rushed me and he is so familiar with every area we felt very comfortable with our choices. I would highly recommend Eric.
We have had wonderful experiences working with Eric, both as the buyers and the sellers. After helping us sell our last property (at a very fair price) in Hyde Park, we signed a lease to rent while we decided on the neighborhood we ultimately wanted to end up in. Eric was so patient with us, and we never felt any pressure to hurry up and decide. I felt like we were constantly changing our minds, and had him showing us (and our small child) houses all over Austin! We finally decided to buy an old house in Tarry Town and tear it down to build new. We knew we had to be quick when anything came up. Eric was so brilliant with the terms of the contract he suggested we put together. We ended up beating over 10 other offers (some of them were all cash, but we were not) and we got the house! He was always available to answer any questions, and ease our concerns when we had any doubt. I especially appreciate his quick responses to call/emails and his professionalism when dealing with the other agents. He is great!
We chose Eric based on his high reviews and he definitely lived up to them. We had a great experience working with him and his team. We got only good advice and sold our house quickly and with minimal disruption. Eric made all the right decisions and jumped on potential problems before they became major issues. He was very attentive, answered every call and email, and even worked on his vacation when something came up. Bailey was also super professional and tirelessly helped us make our transition. We look forward to working with them again with our next home.
We could never have managed two closings (one sold and one bought) eight days apart without the management, skills, advise and availability of Eric Bramlett. We all worked together under his direction and came away from the endeavor completely satisfied. Buying and selling a home with Eric was the best of all possible worlds.
Eric is the best! He sold me my first house in 2005 and we’ve stayed in touch ever since. Any time I have a question about home repair, home improvements, or anything to do with real estate, I talk with him and he gives me great advice. I took a job in 2012 in Houston and talked with Eric about keeping the house as an investment or selling it and decided to hold onto it as an investment. Eric is great because he gave me honest advice, rather than trying to get me to sell the house since he would get a bigger commission. He helped me rent my house out and we had a tenant in less than a week. I manage the property myself and call Eric when I have questions about how to handle the tenant or anything else. I wanted to sell the house this summer but after some more great advice from Eric we decided to lease it again and to keep it as an investment. He again helped me rent the house out and was able to do it within 3 days and for 2 years! I’m buying a house in Houston and he’s been giving me good advice for that purchase, even though he’s not making any money on the deal. He’s the best realtor I’ve ever met and would and have recommended him to everyone I know.
