We had a rental house that we decided to sell and we needed help making the smartest updates we could that would get a return. Tara has great ideas and also closely collaborates with a stager. Thanks to Tara we made wise choices like updating the light fixtures without wasting money on something like a whole new floor. Furthermore, Tara is very transparent. We got an inspection report ourselves first so that we would know the condition of the house, could share it with potential buyers, and take care of what needed to be taken care of. She also asked us to list improvements we had made and the cost. I thought that was very fair and helped people to understand our price point. She also did a thorough job of researching the comps ahead of time, explaining both why our house might be more valuable than the comp or less valuable, etc. Our house sold before we even put it on the MLS, and over asking. It was about as low stress as you can get and again I really appreciated the transparency.

We worked with Tara to find our dream home and also sell our current one. We had just broken up with our last realtor so I had a bad taste in my mouth and I was pleasantly surprised when we met Tara. She was a breath of fresh air, incredibly professional and well organized. She did a great job of listening to our needs and using her large network to connect with other realtors to get us a head start on any potential house we may have liked. EVERY house we went to look at, we saw pre-market thanks to Tara's connections and that was a big advantage in today's competitive market. Once we purchased our new house, we went to work on selling our existing one. Tara had a great playbook we followed to get the house show ready using all of her recommended resources that made the process pretty painless. Tara did a great job of pricing our house just right and we ended up getting 3 offers, all well above asking price! Tara is a top agent in Austin and I highly recommend working with her!

Tara McGuire is a true Austin real estate expert. She is timely, knowledgable, helpful and friendly. We accepted an offer on my Circle C house in only four days after she listed it. She was organized and kept the process moving at our agreed upon pace. We closed without any issues or hiccups. I attribute all of that success to Tara and her amazing team.

Tara McGuire and the entire Bramlett team were truly exceptional. This is the second real estate transaction we worked on, the first one in 2016. This time around, we were selling and buying. Tara was initiative-taking in our quest and purchase for a larger Condo. Knowing our desire to be on a specific floor in our current Condo building, she proactively inquired on our behalf, resulting in us closing on a condominium on the floor we were interested in. Her promptness, knowledge of the market, strategic mindset, kindness, and good energy made a potentially chaotic purchase and sell process simple. She was committed to making sure we were well taken care of. We enthusiastically recommend Tara and the Bramlett team. This is our second engagement with them, and we would not hesitate to recommend Tara McGuire or use her again to sell or buy.

Tara is handling both the sale of our home and the purchase of a new home. During a time that is considered a buyer's market, Tara managed to get us multiple offers within 3 days. She is very detail-oriented, able to anticipate possible bumps before they happen, and used her numerous resources to solve problems as they arose. I definitely recommend Tara and her team at Bramlett Residential to anyone looking for a realtor! When we get restless and move again, I will be using Tara!

It was a great pleasure working with Tara and her team. I live out of town and told Tara that I would be in Austin on a Sunday. Without hesitation, she scheduled to meet me at my convenience time. I appreciate that since Sunday is her family time, and not business time. Throughout our meeting, she thoroughly walked me through with well-prepared information, was patient with all my questions, suggested and advised me on what should be done and what would be best. She didn't once try to close me for my listing. Like all professions out there, there would be a newbie, a pro, and a pro who cares. Tara is the pro who cares, and she demonstrated that throughout the whole listing duration. We sold our house. She thanked me for the listing, but I owed her a bigger thank you. Thank you, Tara and your team, for caring.

We did some research about Austin realtors and saw all the wonderful reviews about Tara and they are 100% the truth - she's fantastic! Tara was so quick to get back with us and schedule a meeting, and she was so informative and helpful even though we weren't positive we were going to be moving. Her advice at every step of the way was incredibly helpful and made a stressful time planning a cross-country move much easier. Staging, photos, etc. went really smoothly and their timeline was excellent. It did take us around 2.5 months for an offer, but there was a lot of competition in our neighborhood with similar condos and townhouses on the market. We were getting updates each week about how to move forward, when to lower the price, etc. Tara was really communicative throughout the summer when it was on the market and was super helpful responding to any of our questions or concerns. We highly recommend Tara McGuire if you are looking for a realtor.

Tara McGuire (an agent with Bramlett) is one of the finest, most competent, and professional agents I have ever worked with. She helped us strategically and tactically in our Austin home sale process and led us to conclusions that we probably would not have reached on our own. She is also a very nice person. Thanks to Tara and her team for making our home sale process as smooth as it could be.

I have never sold a house before, so didn't know what to expect. Tara and the team made it an easy to understand what was going to happen at any particular time and what was expected of me as a participant. I've already given Tara's name to some folks who may want to sell their house in the next few years (no one immediately ready), and will continue to refer folks to her.

I have known Tara for over 20 years, she has guided me into investment properties and I can't be more grateful. Because of her I now own a cabin in Durango! We just sold a property, we hit SO many snags, she had patience and was completely on top of everything we had to deal with. I am so grateful to have Tara in my life as my friend and realtor. Thank you so much Tara McGuire, you are truly one of the most amazing people I know!!!!

Tara McGuire became such a valuable asset to us as we began the process of selling our home of 17 years. She responded quickly when we first contact her and offered great guidance throughout the process. Her recommendations, research, references and connections made the process run smoothly. Tara and her team kept the communication lines open and answered questions quickly. She understood what our needs were and helped us with the transition and preparation. She truly was working for us! Her recommendation on list price was spot on and not only did we receive multiple offers in only three days from listing, the house sold over list price AND with very favorable terms allowing us to have the perfect experience. I would highly recommend her and her team.

This is the second time we've worked with Tara McGuire, and it not only met the extremely high standards she set the first time but far exceeded them. Tara is hands down one of the best realtors we've ever worked with. She maintains consistent communication and is always available for any and all questions. She is very knowledgeable of the market and comes forward with a competitive, yet realistic approach to sell your home. She has an amazing team that sets you up for success and walks you through each step of the process. Our experience with her is one we will always remember, and she will forever be our go-to with any real estate needs. Thank you, Tara, for an unmatched experience, and for helping us get exactly what we needed in the journey to sell our home.

My wife and I spoke to several real estate firms before deciding to go with Tara McGuire with Bramlett Residential in selling our home. Boy was that a great decision! Tara was extremely experienced and knowledgeable about the market and helped us with many things we needed to do in order to sell our home quickly and for the most money. She was always available to us and kept us in the loop at all times. We sold our home in just 4 days! We highly recommend Tara. Tara's professionalism is unmatched!

TARA MCGUIRE IS AWESOME!!!! The wife and I had a desire to move based on school districts. We explored 3 different scenarios and ultimately landed on a house in the Driftwood area. Tara was always there to support our questions (there were a lot), tour properties (there were even more) and provide a suggested list of vendors to assist with all of the nuances of buying a home. The last 6 weeks were a blur, but with the expert level service and knowledge from Tara we were prepared for every step! Thank you Tara McGuire for making this journey the best!

Tara McGuire helped us navigate the often-complex logistics of prepping, listing and selling our home while moving cross-country to another state, and we couldnt be happier: she was wonderful to work with, conscientious and professional from start to finish, with great insights about staging and prepping the house for sale. She handled the sale negotiations smoothly, and found us a great buyer. And best of all, our house sold for more than the asking price with multiple offers, and a quick close! I highly recommend Tara and her team of professionals to anyone looking to sell or buy a home.

We worked with Tara McGuire to sell property and she was fabulous. All of the parties involved lived in different states and she was able to make selling easy for all of us. She was knowledgeable about the current market to aid our decision about the sale of the property, and I highly recommend her for any of your real estate needs!

Tara McGuire made the process of selling my home smooth, seamless and successful. During our initial engagement, she listened and learned in an effort to understand my needs and goals related to selling the property. This effort ensured the entire process -- from prepping the house for market, to managing showings, to closing the sale -- met my needs and accomplished my goals. And as if that's not enough awesomeness, she also coordinated a remote close that was simple and convenient. Thanks for all you did to make the sale of my home a reality! I appreciate you, Tara!

I researched the Texas Association of Realtors website looking for a realtor to handle an estate sale. After reading reviews of Tara McGuire, I was very impressed. I contacted her and learned her first house sale was in the neighborhood where my parent's home was located. Tara has a fantastic team in place to assist her with the listings. She met with me at the house and waited patiently until I was provided the necessary paperwork to list the house. During this whole time, she kept in touch, kept me updated on the housing market, and was very supportive. Her team supports her requesting pertinent information regarding the house in order to provide the most information to potential buyers. We listed on a Thursday morning, had three offers by noon, and when the listing closed on Monday had eleven offers with all but two being full cash offers. Tara worked diligently to ensure this sale went through as smoothly as it could. We received 10 offers over asking price due to Tara's skill.

I have known Tara McGuire for years and just recently had the opportunity to work with her on the listing/sale of an investment property. From early conversations discussing strategy and long term goals (well before she was formally my realtor), right down to closing, she and her team were all in. I was grateful for their expertise and calm approach in the current chaos of the Austin real estate market.

This is my second transaction working with Tara McGuire of Bramlett Realty, and she has been a consistent pillar of guidance for us during a crazy market in the Austin area. Our first was moving from out of state pre-Covid and then once we settled in and we decided to make a second move, in an even more challenging market during the pandemic, Tara was there as our community expert with whatever we needed. It is often so much more than buying a house, (which she is an expert at) but is able to refer any number of resources to help get things fixed and/or serviced- even has the best local jaunts to recommend as newbies to area. Tara has become our go-to for a lot. She demonstrates the patience, diligence, thoroughness, and the leadership we appreciate in a real estate professional and would not use anyone else!

Tara is a wonderful realtor. I had a historic multi-family Clarksville home in downtown Austin. I had a bad first experience with another realtor and agency. I contacted Bramlett Realtors after terminating that contract and reached Tara. I explained to her that the property I was wanting to sell was a historic one of a kind downtown property. Although the property had an amazing location and a lot of historic charm and some beautiful artistic upgrades, it was going to be hard to sell. It was a complicated one of a kind property, that required more attention then other sales. Tara did a great job. She secured banks that were able to finance our one of a kind multi-family sale if necessary. Tara stuck by me after three contracts fell through. We ended up securing an all cash contract and closed in ten days. I was very lucky to find Tara. She did a great job representing me, and I felt like she had my back during entire time of representation.
