My son recommended Tara McGuire when I decided to buy a condo in Austin. Being a senior citizen, I have worked with the stereotypical real estate agent too often. Tara was a breath of fresh air. Never pushy, spent long days with me trying to figure out where in Austin would work for me and trying to decide how large a place I needed. She never complained, although I was not easy, often changing my mind. Tara is a rare prize and I enthusiastically recommend her.

We called Bramlett to sell our first home in South Austin. We had no experience selling, weren't sure what renovations would get us money back, and just had a lot of uncertainty. Tara came over, looked at the house and gave us a really clear plan with options depending on how much work we wanted to put into the house. The timeline and sale price that she estimated for our house ended up being spot-on. We got lots of showings and a cash offer for our full asking price within 48 hours of hitting the market. Even the closing just flew by, it was so painless. We sold right at the start of COVID-19 and Tara helped us navigate all the needed signatures and things smoothly and with minimal in-person contact. I would absolutely recommend Bramlett and Tara!

Tara was wonderful in helping my family and I sell our house. She was always very responsive and a real hard working professional. I cannot think of a better realtor for Austin and surroundings.

Tara McGuire has been a guiding light for our cross country move to Austin, as she truly served as our expert to all things- neighborhoods, restaurants, builders, potential future construction projects, wineries, etc. Anything we could have needed or wanted in relation to finding the right place to settle into for the next phase of our life, she was able to help us with. For almost a year and a half, we kept in touch to find the perfect home in the right price point and area. She was always available when we flew in to marathon house hunt and treated us with patience. Tara has been awesome to work with and we know with certainty we would not have been as successful in making such a life changing decision to relocate had it not been for the security that Tara gave us.

Tara McGuire helped us look for a home to rent or purchase. In each category she presented a number of homes that met our criteria. She is a very effective, if not the most effective realtor we have ever had. She was organized at each step of the way and gave us good advice and resources as needed during the process. We would highly recommend her. Al and Deni De Bellas

Tara helped us with the purchase of a new home. She was there to guide us and provide answers from the design center phase of the build all the way to the closing. She was always available to answer questions and helped us organize various meetings and discussions with the builder. We would absolutely recommend Tara as a realtor. Shes in the process of selling one of our properties as well.

Working with Tara McGuire at Eric Bramlett Residential Real Estate has been a genuine pleasure! We are both buying and selling a home with Tara's help and she has made a stressful process less so with her professionalism, care, knowledge and expertise. She and her team have walked us through every step, helping us make decisions, advocating for our need, and generally going above and beyond what might be required. We have moved into a beautiful new home and are working on getting our old home ready to sell. From vendor recommendations to help with staging, Tara has been there to ensure that we are going to get the best bang for our buck! I highly recommend Tara and her team.

This is my fourth...yes, my fourth real estate transaction with Tara McGuire! I've used Tara to buy and sell our family home, and then again for investment properties. Buying and/or selling a home today in Austin, TX can be very overwhelming, as this city is in such high demand and the desire for homes are outweighing the supply. Tara has been in Austin and in the real estate industry for over 20 years, so she is not only a top agent in Austin, she's a local! There was never a question I had to ask because it was already answered. She simplified every complication, minimized every major detail and ensured that every base was covered. One of her greatest qualities is that she is far more than just an agent to her clients. She's honest and goes above and beyond her role as a sales representative to ensure her clients are making sound decisions. She truly gets to know her clients and works tirelessly to find the perfect fit for their family.

I can't say enough positive things about Tara! We chose her because she provided current market data, timelines, to do lists, and a spreadsheet that clearly listed our bottom line. She's professional, friendly, and highly motivated. In the end, our sale was quick, profitable, and not too stressful thanks to Tara.

Tara was an absolute joy to work with. Made my first home buying experience go more smoothly than I could have ever imagined. Was very proactive and quick to respond to everything. She's someone you can trust without question. So glad she was recommended to me.

Hi Tara, Just wanted to say a big Thank you for doing such a very good job selling our house. The way you explained everything to us made us very comfortable and relieved many anxieties we had. Not very good with surveys and different sites but hope this note will suffice. You really know your business and we felt we very in expert hands. Thanks again for a job well done. Sincerely Tonni and Charley Christensen

Wish I could give more than 5 stars!!! Tara McGuire was our real estate agent when we moved from Houston to Austin. We did not know what part of Austin we wanted to live in but had a list of "must haves". Tara set us up on her website that would send us alerts on homes that matched our criteria. When one house in particular popped up, I called her and said I need to see this house...Tara set up a showing and then facetimed us in Houston for our "tour". Tara went above and beyond, helping us every step of the way with our home buying process. She had to jump a lot of obstacles to get us in our dream home but she did!!!!! We are so grateful for her hard work, listening to our needs and being so patient as we were making our move to Austin. I highly recommend Tara for any real estate needs. You will not find someone more knowledgeable about Austin or real estate!!!

Tara is awesome in every respect! As first-time homebuyers, we were a bit intimidated by the process, but Tara broke everything down for us, provided us with contacts for everyone we needed, was extremely responsive (no matter the time of day or night), and simply nailed it at every turn. She genuinely cares about her clients and made us feel like her number one priority throughout. Highly, highly recommend Tara!

She is amazing! she is very knowledgeable! It was our first time to buy a home and it was a new build! She helped us every step of the way! She knows all the right questions to ask and was very helpful during the whole process. Buying a home can be stressful but we could not have done it without her guidance and expertise. If we could rate her higher than 5 stars, we would!!!!

My husband and I worked with Tara McGuire and can't say enough good things about her! She is amazingly organized, knowledgeable, informative, and professional. And she's nice! She genuinely wants you to get what you're looking for and works hard to help make that happen as smoothly as possible. She is available around the clock and even weekends. She took us to see NINE houses on a Sunday because that was the earliest she could do it. And when none of those worked out she quickly acted on two more for us to see on Tuesday. Even when she wasn't communicating she clearly explained expectations for when there would be time during the contract where we wouldn't need to be doing much. She helped us find a home we absolutely love in Round Rock. We would enthusiastically recommend her for Austin and the surrounding areas!

Bramlett Residential and our wonderful agent Tara were exactly what my husband and I needed while selling our first home, and finding the next home for our growing family. We began this journey over a year ago and with incredible patience and care Tara let us take our time, all while looking for the perfect home. Tara was so helpful in the process of selling,from arranging meetings with a stager, window cleaner, photographer, and creating a stellar campaign with all the buzz that was needed to sell our home quickly and get the price we wanted. Once we got serious about our move, we were on the market in 2 weeks, and sold within 3 days. While in our closing period we were able to make an offer on a new home and get the deal done in a multiple offer situation. We really felt taken care of the whole way through. You want someone you can trust with you when making these very large life decisions,and I would highly recommend Tara We definitely will come back for any future real estate needs

We hit the jackpot when choosing to work with Tara M. at Bramlett Realty. Her excellent hands on approach made our transition from California to Texas effortless. Professional, friendly and efficient are just a few of the words to describe her. She was an absolute pleasure to work with.

Tara McGuire is an excellent realtor and the best option for first time home buyers in the Austin area. Her contract knowledge, eye for detail, and honesty made the whole process a lot less stressful, especially in the tough Austin market. If you're a first time home buyer, I highly recommend working with Tara, she will walk you through the process (multiple times if you ask), walk through every detail of the contracts, help identify any red flags in the house or inspection, and will respond to your questions or requests quickly. Her optimism and charming personality will instill confidence that you can and will find the perfect listing. In the end, she will work tirelessly to help you close on your dream home. I can't recommend her enough.

We were referred to Tara from a friend of ours when we began our search for a home in Austin. From the beginning Tara was extremely helpful and helped us to narrow down the areas in Austin we wanted to look in. We were all over the place with what we wanted, from land to a neighborhood and Tara was very patient with us as we changed our minds multiple times! Tara went above and beyond the call of duty and even FaceTimed us as she walked thru houses we were interested in when we were still in Houston. Tara always had our best interest in mind and made sure we got the best deal possible and worked miracles at closing. My favorite perk of using Tara as our realtor were the daily email updates to listings that met our exact criteria. Tara is extremely knowledgable about the Austin area which was very helpful in guiding us to decide where we wanted to buy. We highly recommend Tara if you are in the market to buy or sell!!

Tara McGuire of Bramlett Realty handled the sale of my father's house after his passing. She endured a six months wait while the garage and storeroom were emptied out. Due to the nature of the property (old house - prime location) she advised we not spend on any updates and just clean up. She had a plan and carried it through. When the property was ready and before going to MLS she was already getting offers. She listed on MLS for about 5 days and received 30 offers. She presented a list of carefully evaluated offers and we chose the one $165K over the asking price. Closing was in a few days and totally painless. Thank you

We were new to Austin, new to Texas and having lived abroad for two decades, new to the process of buying a home in the USA. We had no idea what style of house we wanted, let alone what neighborhood would suit us best. What we had were a lot of unknowns. Nothing too daunting for Tara, though. She went all out for us. And all about too- from Georgetown to Wimberley and everything in between. Tara showed us many possibilities and even more patience. She listened- an art that few people have. Finally she came up with a gem of a house- just as we knew she would. Tara instills confidence, pays attention to detail and thoroughly knows her market. She is so much more than merely a realtor. She is a guide, a trusted advisor and simply put one of the most professional realtors it has been our privilege to meet.

We were first time home buyers and Tara's experience in the industry as well as her patience with our many questions was just what we needed! She is an expert on every single step of the process, from inspection to recommending contractors. Anytime I had a question or found myself unsure about something I always said "Let's ask Tara, she will know".

We'd highly recommend working with Tara to sell your home! She is extremely knowledgeable and very responsive. She's also warm, easy to talk to and empathetic as you progress through the process of selling! We were new to the selling process and she took great care of us. We were extremely happy with the outcome of the sale of our home.

We moved from out of state and had no prior knowledge of the area. Tara did a great job of helping us get our bearings and find the best location for us. Not to mention assisting with the details of our sale in another state! Thanks Tara!

Tara is great to work with. She's knowledgeable about the greater Austin area and is a good advocate in negotiations. She takes the time to understand what you're looking for and then makes good points during your search about how well the property stacks up against your criteria.
