"Thank you for the amazing team at Keenan Property group managing the sale of our home so smoothly. The whole process was professional and friendly at the same time making for happy sellers in record time! We would recommend Keenan Property Group to anyone interested in selling their home."

"Joe and Cara were exceptional! I called 3 realtors to interview for the listing of my home, which I had lived in for 27 years. The first two calls went straight to voicemail and on the third call, Joe answered. We had a long chat about my home, the construction of our new home, the timing of the sale, etcetera. Joe and Cara came over the next evening to discuss the listing. They were genuine, knowledgeable, had a proven plan and track record. Over the next couple of weeks, I did hear from the two other agents who also came to my home. One was very aggressive in wanting to list the home. It was during the time when you list on Thursday and have multiple offers on Monday. Unfortunately, I had several timing issues. My husband and I were building and weren't certain of the moving date to the new home and we didn't want to move out to sell and then have to move again. The other issue was closing could not take place before October 6 for tax reasons. We had begun to pack up our home and sell/donate some of our furnishings. The aggressive realtor suggested we move the boxes to the garage, and she would add some of her furniture to stage the house, then we take a weekend away and she would have a showing. This was a good 2 months before we were ready to list. I found this very stressful and no longer considered her a potential agent. The other realtor was ambivalent. He would list it and it would sell. No plan and no real interest. He was also not an option. So, we signed with Joe and Cara. I let them know that communication was my touchpoint. I needed to know what was going on. They came with a plan, which included their investment in the home as well, providing some of the upgrades for the listing. They managed the contractors to get the home ready, prepared a detailed analysis for pricing, which was tricky in light of the fact that the market had changed, no longer the Thursday to Monday sale. The staging and listing were perfect. The home looked beautiful, move-in ready. We did have to wait about 3 weeks for an offer, and they managed the negotiations well, keeping my best interest in mind. The closing went smoothly, and we couldn't be happier. I have let my friends and neighbors know that I would recommend Joe and Cara wholeheartedly. Excellent!!"

"Working with Compass - and more importantly, Joe and Cara Keenan was the best decision we could have made when deciding to move to the Austin area. Joe was our main point of contact and we could not have asked for a more prepared or helpful realtor. Whether it was questions regarding our new build, the loan process, help with our lender, or conversations with our builder he was eager to jump and did so with professionalism and care for our needs. I wish for everyone to be so lucky as to have the opportunity to work with such a competent and caring realtor. My wife and I will be recommending Joe and Cara to anyone making the decision to relocate in or to the Austin area."

"We learned about Cara and Joe after they helped our next-door neighbor sell their house. Amazed as we watched them give our neighbor's house a facelift and sell it in a few days for a crazy high price. We had been thinking about selling since we had been in our house 20 years and are approaching retirement age. Really, more house (landscape, pool, age, etc.) than we really wanted to deal with at this stage of our life. We talked with Joe and Cara in October 2021 and they gave us some recommendations on what we could do to maximize the value of our house. We had not sold or looked for a house in over 20 years so we were basically new to the process. As you know the Austin market was booming and the best advice we got from them was to buy a place, before putting our house on the market. So Team Keenan helped us find a new house, and provided recommendations for financing, moving, etc. Cara took care of “operation facelift”. Zeroed in on key areas to update, selected the items, i.e. marble, tile, light fixtures, paint colors etc. everything. We let them design it since it was clear to us they understood the potential buyer market. We just paid the bills. Part of Team Keenan includes a very skilled contractor who has reasonable prices, has interior design sense, and works well with the Team. The house went on the market in April of 2022 and we got 5 offers over asking price after 4 days. The winning offer was way over our “best price” scenario. After looking at other houses for sale in our neighborhood we believe the “operation facelift” investment was returned about 10 times! Prior to moving back to Austin in 2000, we had purchased homes and lived in Chicago (Naperville), Phoenix (Scottsdale) and Pittsburgh (Cranberry) and built two homes (Lakeway, Scottsdale). Since 2000 there have been mind-blowing changes in the realty market thanks to technology, and they do a very good of leveraging it. Team Keenan exceeded our expectations in every step of the process. From the design phase, house hunting phase, operation facelift, two closings, etc., etc. A TV reality show experience, without the drama. When we explain to friends and colleagues what we accomplished with Team Keenan, they don’t believe it. The experience was really remarkable and we love telling people about it. We highly recommend Team Keenan!"

"Joe and Cara have been wonderful to work with! We moved here from out of state and they helped us find our new home and have been with us every step of the way. Cannot recommend them enough!

"My wife and I have been friends with Cara and Joe for many years. Cara helped me find and purchase a low-end Section 8 property in East Austin over 13 years ago. And she also sold it for me this last August for a lot more than I thought we could. Joe has handled the leasing of two other rental properties that we have had since we purchased then around 12 years ago. Cara outperforms every time I have called upon her. This latest sale of our home on Edgefield also netted hundreds of thousands more than I thought it would prior to it even going on MLS. So, needless to say, my wife and I only have rave reviews for Cara and Joe."

"When my mom passed away and, as executor, I knew I was responsible for selling her townhouse, I was a bit nervous. I had never sold a house before, but my daughter and son-in-law, Emily and Dave Rowe had sold a couple with the help of their friends, Joe and Cara Keenan. I was very impressed with their experiences - in both cases, they sold quickly and over the asking price! When I met with Joe and Cara, they were very confident about the list price and described how everything would go from prepping the house to taking photos and video and listing the property to reviewing offers. And everything happened exactly the way they described it! Their team did an excellent job. The first person who reached out to me was BJ, who called me about an hour after I filled out a request on their website. BJ stayed in touch with me throughout the process and was very helpful. I met Sean at the house as he was working on repairs, changing fixtures, painting, and clearing out the final bulk trash items on the property and he did an excellent job. One of the things that had impressed me when they sold my daughter and son-in-law’s houses were the excellent photos - which is important since most people get their first look at the property online. And these photos did not disappoint. They were beautiful. And even though the house was vacant, Leah kept me informed of all the activities taking place at the house. I don’t remember the name of the program, but i got an email whenever the house was being shown to a client or previewed by an agent. Throughout the process, Joe and Cara kept in touch with me by phone, email, and text making the whole process efficient and nearly effortless for me… and I appreciate that! On behalf of my six siblings and myself, we thank Joe, Cara, and the Keenan team for their excellent service and for selling our parent’s house quickly and for more money than we had expected! I will definitely call on team Keenan in the future and will recommend them to my family and friends!"

"We are always blown away by Joe and Kara and their team! They have served us with two other closings in the past and they continue to step up to the challenge. We love working with them and always feel that they have given us the most personal, reliable, amazingly competent and pleasant attention. We see them not only as professional real estate partners, but as friends. They are the BEST! Could not ask for more."

"I just wrapped up my 4th successful transaction with Cara and Joe by my side. I can't think of anyone else I'd want to rely on for my real estate needs. Cara, Joe, and their impressive team are true Rock Stars at what they do! "

"The Keenan's helped us buy that house in 2012 and nine years later they were pivotal in selling it. As we prepped for a cross-country move, we were scrambling just to make it to our new home in Vermont. In the process of moving, we hit some hurdles and as a result, we left the Keenan team with a mess of a house to deal with. They handled the whole process of getting the quotes for cleaning and repairs, oversaw the actual work getting done, made suggestions on repairs we didn't realize we needed, staging, etc. We would still be trying to get the house listed if they weren't helping us. Aside from the work the Keenan team put in, their advice was stellar. Especially when it comes down to the harder to address issues, they're true professionals. Their guidance really transformed the house which was reflected in the final selling price. If the expectation is for "exemplary", the Keenans are the upper echelon."
- Joey D.
★★★★★
"We were so blessed to work with Cara and Joe Keenan and their team. My sister and I were selling my father's house after he passed. Not only was it emotional, but we didn't live in the same town, so it was hard for us to do things like arranging cleaners, painters, trash hauls, and landscaping. They did it all! We truly didn't have to worry about anything. It was such a relief to have found a team we could trust. Thank you again for helping with this monumental and difficult task."
- Kimberly B,
★★★★★
"Joe, Cara, and the entire Keenan Team did an outstanding job for us. From establishing market value to planning our home's staging, helping us find contractors to do repairs and upgrades, interfacing with buyers' agents, bringing us offers, negotiating final details, and closing the sale, their full-service approach was exemplary. We wouldn't go anywhere else. "
- Mike + Carol M.
★★★★★
"Our experience with Joe and Cara Keenan could not be any more positive. We felt so supported through the whole process. They were available every time we needed them, even working past midnight to secure our offer being accepted on our dream home that they somehow found for us in a really tough market! They obviously care about you and treat you so well from the start through the finish. They checked in on us during the search and even months after closing. I truly think they must be the best realtors in Austin!"
- Catherine G.
★★★★★
"Joe and Cara Keenan with Compass helped us find the perfect home in the Northwest Hills area of Austin. We know that we would not have even seen or heard of the opportunity if it weren't for Joe and Cara's connections, experience, and knowledge of this area of Austin. They were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process and have even checked in on us after closing. We could not be more grateful for their help, and we would recommend them 10 times out of 10!"
- Andy G.
★★★★★
"Cara and Joe Keenan are very knowledgeable and helped us find our wonderful home in Dripping Springs in late 2019. We love it! Great neighborhood and great neighbors. They grew up in this area themselves and are very familiar with all the areas and pocket sub-areas. We had asked them their buying recommendations and we listened. In just 18 months our home's value is already worth double what we paid!"
- Alicia M.
★★★★★
"Working with the Keenan team has been the easiest and most low friction way to transact in real estate as an investor that I’ve seen. They make everything so easy. They are so well-organized and efficient. Cara gives me her very experienced professional input when I need it and has learned what matters to me and thus filters out anything I wouldn’t. Her team coordinates inspections, showings, repairs when needed, and tenant communication. For any investor in or outside of Austin that wants to jump into the very hot Austin real estate market, the Keenan team is the team to help you. I recommend them without reservation."
- Caroline G.
★★★★★
"We couldn't be happier with the leadership and service Joe, Cara, and the team provided throughout the entire process. From the day they first advised us on what we would need to do to get the house ready for sale to the very last day (a MONSTER sales transaction and close), everything exceeded our expectations. Every team member was knowledgeable, communicated well, and responded quickly to our many questions and needs.
We're blessed to have been introduced to Joe and Cara through a mutual friend and will gladly recommend them to others without hesitation or reservation."

★★★★★
"The pandemic made it difficult for us (from Iowa) to personally visit sites of possible homes in Austin and its vicinity. Add to that the prevailing crazy housing market — it made finding and buying your perfect home in another state so daunting, if not next to impossible! But Cara Keenan and the whole of Joe and Cara Keenan’s team made it all feasible for us as if we were just close by! She made it easier for us to look at possibilities, was very responsive, gave much clearer pictures of properties that interested us, and was so patient with us as we go from one property to the next. No pressure. Her words of encouragement helped ease our disappointment each time we found out the house was already sold or our offer was not accepted. Since we could not be there to see the property (which we eventually purchased), she brought the details to us through videos, some of which she made under some bad weather! Now, that’s dedication! She has a well-organized team that helped us and anticipated our needs, and made the whole finding-to-closing process so much smoother. Even after closing, the team still communicates with us, trying their best to help us, especially as we are still in the process of moving a few weeks after closing! They’re all very caring, very gracious, and highly professional. It truly was a pleasure working with them, and we would highly recommend Cara and the Keenan team in a heartbeat!"

"We were introduced to Joe and Cara by two sets of friends who'd worked with them on multiple home purchases and sales, so they came with strong recommendations. We were impressed by their knowledge and professionalism when we first spoke and also by their engaging and friendly personalities—knowing our friends - who have very high standards! - were pleased with their work gave us a lot of confidence in working with them.
With Austin being such a hot market, it's a challenging time to be a buyer, but we were really happy to have Joe shepherding us through the process. We looked at a lot of places because we started off not really knowing what we wanted, and Joe was incredibly patient, well-informed, positive, and thoughtful. He's optimistic while also being realistic and truly wants to help you to find the right home. Beyond his professional knowledge, he's just a great guy to be around, and that made shopping more enjoyable.
When we got under contract, Joe recommended really high-quality professionals to help check things we wanted looked at in the home - home inspectors, pool inspectors, electricians, roofers, stucco experts, etc. Each person he recommended was knowledgeable and had strong credentials. I will continue to use Joe as a resource for home-related professionals in the area because he really knows who's good. He coordinated getting a lot done in our option period to help us feel comfortable moving forward with the purchase. His team is super responsive and kept the process moving to meet quick closing timelines."

★★★★★
"Last Friday, my wife and I bought a home in Mueller with Cara’s expert support. That was our 7th closing, spread across the US and in various market conditions. Needless to say, that the Austin real estate market today is one of the most challenging for the buyers, especially for buyers like us who are new to Austin. As soon as we met Cara, she inspired in us a level of confidence and trust that we made offers and had one accepted within 2 or 3 weeks! This, in large part, was possible because of her knowledge of the market and the process, as well as her ability to answer our questions on myriad details. I am an unrepentant engineer, and she handled my queries with aplomb and ease! We could see how hard she worked at her job. However long her days were, she always returned our calls and attended to all the details without fail. Cara is always courteous, professional, and a real pleasure to work with. We think, as a real estate professional, Cara is truly world-class and a credit to any organization that she is part of. We are very grateful to her.

"It was such a blessing to work with Cara and Joe. I especially worked with Cara, and she was so good and helpful with the sale of my home. A neighbor who used the Keenans referred me to them, and I was so glad and happy that Mary had told me about them. The sale went so smoothly. BJ, their assistant, was a blessing to me also, and she was always available to assist in what I needed. Also, Cara and Joe helped me get the best price on the sale of my home."
- Loretta G.

"Home buying and selling are personal; it's also often tedious and emotional. When the world changed in 2020, and our visions for our next home were dragged along for the ride, the Keenan Team demonstrated grace, patience, support, and some much-needed hilarity. Cara and Joe Keenan and their team will be there for you through the process like the friends we all wish we had. They supported my family through a home sale and purchase during a pandemic, pregnancy, demanding work schedules, and with three kids under 3! Cara has literally played with our toddlers and held the baby, so my husband and I could focus on exploring homes. The team answers emails and texts day and night and are fast to schedule showings. Going far above and beyond the typical real estate advice you might expect to receive from excellent agents, Cara and Joe have taken the time to counsel and guide us on the endless issues consequential to homeownership, even after our selling and buying journey ended. To name just a few, they have shared a wealth of information related to pool installation, even providing written talking points for meeting with pool contractors, numerous referrals ranging from general contractors to trades to drapery designers, and personal feedback on design selections. If you are looking for unparalleled local real estate knowledge and partnership for your home sale or purchase, there is no better choice than Cara and Joe Keenan and team."
- Marisa M.

"All I can say is Cara did a WONDERFUL, INCREDIBLE, SUPERB job. She really goes above and beyond what one expects from a Realtor. I couldn’t be happier with her!"
- Bernardo P.
★★★★★
"I wanted to share the excellent work and the highest professional standard that both Joe and Cara delivered. I worked mainly with Joe on house viewings, tours, meetings, etc., while Cara assisted with getting offer letters in on time. Joe guided me seamlessly throughout the process for my first house purchase, and there was never a time when I reached out that he either wasn't available or didn't get back to me shortly thereafter. Many times I actually wondered if he ever stops working."
- Alan L.
★★★★★
"My sister and I were truly impressed with Joe and Cara throughout the entire process! They listed our parent's home that we grew up in and had owned since 1967. They were so knowledgeable, professional, and quick to respond to any and all questions or concerns that we had. The process of selling, listing, handling offers, and even closing was explained to us so well. We are so appreciative of Joe and Cara and will recommend to friends. They are amazing!"
- Cindy E.
★★★★★
"It was a great experience working with Joe Keenan and the rest of the staff at Compass! I am from out of state, and they took great care to help me find the right property, negotiate the price and put us in touch with several lenders. I will definitely work with this team again in the future!"
- Muneesh R.
★★★★★
"Cara and Joe are ridiculously good at what they do. They helped us sell our house, and we are so happy that we had them on our side throughout. A couple of things, in particular, stand out. Cara did a fabulous job of assessing exactly where we needed to put work into our house before selling it to really convince potential buyers of its value and where we didn’t need to put in work, and things would be fine. After that, Cara and her team went way above and beyond what I ever expected from a real estate agent. They found good contractors, oversaw every aspect of the work, from painting to electrical to various repairs, and stepped in every time anything went wrong to get it fixed before we even started worrying. When we finally put our house on the market, Cara and Joe expertly navigated a complicated multiple-offer situation in a way that resulted in a much better outcome for us than we expected. An agentless expert could easily have fumbled that one. We are so happy that we were working with Cara and Joe. You cannot go wrong with this team."
- Joey F.
★★★★★
"The service that Joe and Cara Keenan give is like nothing you’ll ever experience anywhere else. They do absolutely everything for you during the buying process. They have people around the clock to service and answer all your questions from the minute you send an email out. During inspection, random things that pop up, they had a guy (or girl) for the job. They can give you recommendations for everyone. It’s almost too easy to buy a house with them. We joke that they are the Apple products of our technology world. Everything is seamless and flawless."

"We had a fantastic experience with Cara and Joe Keenan! We'd highly recommend them!"
- Rhonda F.
★★★★★
"This is the 2nd time the Keenan team has helped me buy a house. The 1st time was as a result of a recommendation from a friend, and the 2nd time was based on the first positive experience. The Keenan team has a deep background to help guide you through the house-buying process (even when you're a highly experienced client). There wasn’t any rah-rah salesmanship involved, just the practical assistance I needed. This assistance was both in effectively representing my financial interests and working through all the small details involved in buying a house. Not only was Cara always available to share her knowledge, she has a great support team to ensure that all the steps necessary to move toward closing are handled quickly and efficiently. I would suggest this team to any of my friends."
- Tom G.
★★★★★
"My husband and I made an unexpected move to Austin recently. Joe and Cara Keenan made it possible for us to not only find a beautiful home that fits our needs but also gave us the knowledge and understanding of the area so we could make an educated decision. From the time we met Joe and Cara, they made us feel welcome and went the extra mile to make sure we had all the information we needed on each of the properties we looked at. They also introduced us to Austin in a way that friends would do. They told us about all the great places to eat, visit, and hang out. They both always made us feel like we could bring up any and all concerns we had and gave us the information we needed. Even after the close of escrow, they continue to check in on us to make sure everything is going well and that we have everything we need to begin to settle in this beautiful city. Thank you, Joe and Cara, for your hard work!"

"Joe and Cara Keenan have helped me purchase two homes thus far, and both experiences have been excellent. They have a knack for understanding what their customer is really looking for and presenting numerous viable options. I will be working with them again in the future."
- Frank J.

"Cara Keenan was fantastic. I relocated from the northwest and had one day to look at houses. Cara was organized and patient as I got a sense of Austin had to offer. We couldn't have seen so many properties without her being organized. I felt so comfortable and confident in her abilities and her understanding of what I wanted that I purchased a home that was unseen after I returned to wrap up the old job and sell my home. I wasn't disappointed, the house was perfect!

"Compass is simply the best at what they do and how they serve their clients. Joe and Cara Keenan are unbelievable! We have moved several times, and this has been the best one ever! From looking at houses to closing, they have been like Christmas morning or as a hot brownie with cold vanilla ice cream on top and a dash of Bailey's (depending on what you are in to). If I could adopt the Keenan's I would because they exemplify the very best in service, sales, and support that you want when looking to move. Hugs to high fives they found us the best house for the best price and then facilitated all the details in between. I could go on forever, but at the end of the day, I am thinking about trying to find a way to buy another house to work with them again just so that I can feel the magic again. Addicted is an understatement! GO JOE AND CARA! Like Tina Turner said, simply the best! And they deliver like the US Postal Service no matter what, you can depend on them!"

"Being in the commercial real estate business for 35 years, I've seen my share of professionals, but few are as conscientious as Cara and Joe Keenan at Compass. They came highly recommended from a friend as I looked for a home or condo in Austin, and I couldn't have been happier with the last ten months of working together. Not only are they smart, ethical, loyal, and really knowledgeable about the market, but they're a lot of fun to work with as well. In sum, there's only one residential real estate firm I would recommend to friends looking for a home in Austin: Compass."
- Chip C.
★★★★★
"Cara was fantastic. We were coming from out of town and met Cara on our vacation, looking in a very narrow part of Austin. Cara went above and beyond and contacted other real estate agents to find people that might be willing to sell or might be putting their house on the market in the future. This doubled the number of homes we were able to see and gave us much better confidence when we found the house we liked. Cara is very warm, friendly, competent, and gave a good perspective on options as we considered a modification to houses we were looking at. She is very responsive and was effective in negotiating our asks with the sellers. We were very pleased and will be recommending Cara."

"Joe and Cara Keenan were incredibly easy to work with, provided me with the best information and went above and beyond my expectations. Highly recommend them both to anyone looking for an agent for either buying or selling."
- Cecilia J.
★★★★★
"Cara and Joe were amazing, they met us at our house and talked us through the process, provided us a book of what we needed to do to be prepared and get the most out of our house. They were very transparent about the process, market, and expectations for us to work together, of which I greatly appreciated. Throughout the process, Cara and Joe provided us with top-notch resources to help us stage, clean windows and the whole house for us to sell quickly and for the price we wanted. I'm recommending all friends in the market to sell or buy to go through Cara and Joe as it was a great experience."
- Steve H,

"Cara and Joe were THE BEST. I mean, I can't even imagine having gone through this multi-month process (it started in May) without Cara. She was such an incredible advocate for us and a huge support. She made sure (well, still is, really) that none of the details were forgotten and was always one step ahead. Truly, THE BEST. We will always be willing to be a reference for Cara and Joe."
- Brigid F.
★★★★★
"Cara Keenan is a true gem of a real estate agent. She first helped me find a condo for an employee who'd be spending the weeks in Austin back in 2007. Since then, Cara has helped me buy four rental homes and most recently, a new home following my divorce. She has always been on the lookout for me for new rental properties and knows exactly what I look for, after coaching me through best practices of being a landlord. Cara shared tools to manage these properties best, and she and Joe Keenan are fantastic about helping me find new tenants when a lease term is up. Cara was a great agent and friend to me during a tough period; divorce. She helped me find a great home near my kids' school and made that traumatic process much easier by taking care of everything. The search, the inspections, the closing, and even detailed out for me what utilities to contact to get everything working before move-in. Cara was incredible."
- Caroline G.
★★★★★
"Joe Keenan is one of the best referrals for any service that I've ever needed. In looking for a Realtor for my first home buying experience, I wanted a Realtor who was organized, honest, respectful, trustworthy, and attentive; Joe is all of those things and more. Joe advocated for me at every step of the searching and buying process and made sure everything went smoothly. He answered all of my questions and was very patient with me (first time home buyers have a LOT of questions)! I would happily recommend Joe Keenan to anyone interested in buying a home in Austin."
- Morgan C.
★★★★★
"Cara and Joe Keenan are an amazing team. My wife and I were first-time homebuyers and didn't know the ropes. These two walked us through the entire process and made it look easy. They were always just an email or phone call away, took care of all the behind-the-scenes paperwork and organization, and found us a great house for a good price. They were clearly knowledgeable about the markets in Austin, and they convinced us to spend the time and money to examine every aspect of the house (pipes, electrical, etc.) which paid off in the negotiations. Even after closing, they are still answering questions and helping us to find contractors. They are great people and trustworthy Realtors, and I would full-heartedly recommend them to anyone buying or selling their house in Austin."

"I can't recommend Cara Keenan enough!!! For our first home-buying experience, she was everything we were hoping for and more. Cara and Joe were recommended by a colleague, but it was Cara who took point on our search (Joe was really helpful when we were out and about looking at properties). Throughout the whole process, Cara was super-responsive, proactive, extremely knowledgeable about the Austin market, made sure to check in about any concerns we might have and made suggestions that saved our butts when it came to negotiating on the property we went with. Even after the closing, she was helpful in coordinating some issues for us and smoothing out some work on the house before we were moving in. She takes real pride in her work, listens, eased minds and was just so helpful (and fun!). I've already recommended her to other friends for whenever they may want to start looking and know that if/when my husband and I need to move, she'll be our first call."

"Cara Keenan at Compass is the best Realtor I have ever had the pleasure to work with. She was referred to me by a family member after an unfortunate experience with another Realtor. Cara worked tirelessly for over three months and several changes of heart on my part to find me a great, affordable home near my grandkids. A true warrior and queen! Thank you, Cara!"

"True professionals. Joe Keenan and his team make sure every aspect of the process is as easy and consistent as possible. He understood what we were looking for and made sure we were best positioned to buy our new home. When he promised something would be taken care of, it was. When we called him, he answered. When we emailed him a question, he answered it. He is our realtor and will continue to be. Our experience with Compass could not be more positive. Highly recommend."

"Suffice it to say, we have had a great experience with Joe. We all worked hard to get the house on the market. And he was patient with us with all our questions. With his experience and his network, we were able to get things ready and get things setup. He was able to guide us and gave us necessary space. And he was available when we needed to talk and were ready to move forward. Folks each have different support needs and Gina and I's requirements are directness and communication. At the same time, we need some time to move forward on actions and review next steps. Joe is able to provide both space, time and communicate. We would and will recommend Joe. Additionally, we are looking forward to continuing our relationship with him as we look to purchasing a new home in the coming few months. Our thanks to Joe for all his help and time."

"My fiance Matt and I purchased our first home less than two weeks ago with the help of The Keenan Team. Our friends warned us about the tricky and sometimes confusing process of buying a place, but luckily Matt found The Keenans and we couldn't be happier with the experience. The entire process was seamless. They anticipated our questions, concerns and anxieties; they were always available to meet and responded quickly to any inquiry (no matter how silly or small). They give 5 star treatment and we feel honored that we got to work with them. Now we just want to hang out with them because she's fantastic!!"

"I enlisted Joe and Cara's help after I had selected a house to be built by Highland Homes. They instantly engaged the builder, loan officer, and Highland Homes sales reps as I was located in San Diego, CA working at my military job. Although the closing process was painful due to underwriters ignorance of the law, Joe and Cara kept the process on track. I am very pleased with her efforts in the purchase of my home and will refer her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Austin area."

"Let me start by saying that Joe and Cara Keenan did an awesome job. Not only were they polite and respectful, but they were informative and down right professional. This was my first time buying a house and I have to say they made it a very pleasant and almost easy experience. I would recommend these two to anyone who knows what kind of things they are looking for, and even those who don't, these Realtors know their stuff so they can help find anything that fits you. They don't try and sell you or give false information. I feel as if they wanted what was best for me even if I didn't decide to go with them. I can't express how much I appreciate all that was done for me. As a young adult stepping into a new environment of purchasing my own home, they made sure I understood and knew every detail that went into what I was going to buy. All in all, this was a great experience for me and I hope more people will request Joe and Cara because I know they will help to the best of their abilities and beyond. Thanks again guys!"

"Cara and Joe are the most exceptional Realtors you can find-anywhere. Finding a trustworthy realtor in Austin from PA could've been a disaster, but we found the gem of all gems! Not only is their knowledge about the market and the process unmatched, but their impeccable service and reliability was what we appreciated the most during the purchase of our home. We told Cara and Joe over and over that we were sure that we weren't her only clients, but we always felt as if we were! Never a question went unanswered or a moment passed that we couldn't contact Cara or Joe; our needs were consistently fulfilled, and our expectations were surpassed. They would even tell you that we had unforeseen obstacles; but, even when we didn't know there were questions, Cara and Joe provided the answers. We also found the Compass site far superior to others in its ability to provide detailed, current information. It allowed us to search and save homes, which also made the long-distance relocation extraordinarily easier. We are happy to say that Cara and Joe have become our friends-they are truly in a class of their own! We will definitely refer them to others and look forward to opportunities to work with them again."

"I would consider my wife and I as a difficult client for a realtor. We came down over a year ago and joe took us around and continually sent us listings knowing ew were not looking to buy for at least 6 monthes. We call him back a year later syaing we were intersted in buying again and he happily took us around again. He worked with us as we lowballed some sellers advising us what a good price for the houses were and knowing they would accept our offers. finally we just closed on a house were we got a great deal where we got the house for over $22/SF less than asking. He was quick in getting us comps as well as notifing us immediatly when house prices were reduced or houses hit the market. Would recommend him to anyone."

"Joe Keenan made my first time home buying experience easy and comfortable. I contacted Joe, told him what I was looking for, and he set me up an Austin Realty online account complete with pictures, maps, and prices of available homes. I selected the ones I liked and we were physically viewing within days. Joe pointed out things that I didn't even think of (Example: the master bedroom being separate from the other bedrooms provides more privacy) and was very helpful in every aspect of the search. I could instantly tell if I liked a house or not and Joe would be right there with me - ready to leave at a moment's notice or ready to call the seller if I was very interested. Never trying to talk me into something I didn't want or making excuses for a lackluster home. A few of the houses I picked were near railroad tracks and he told me up front that not only will the train whistle wake me up at night, but reselling would be very difficult. I was just looking for a place to store my junk, but Joe came at it from all sides, informed me of the various aspects of home ownership, and guided me to make a wise thoughtful decision that I'm very proud of. I would recommend Joe to anyone that is seriously interested in buying a house. Weekends were the only time I could view homes and Joe understood completely. Every weekend Joe and I would go looking at available houses until I found the right one. His flexibility was impeccable. I also appreciated his willingness to help on all levels even though I wasn't buying a very expensive home. Joe answered every question I had, helped me get a fantastic deal, and made me feel more like family than just another customer. Joe Keenan rules and you should buy a house right now just to have Joe Keenan as your realtor."

"Cara and Joe are the epitome of professionals in the real estate market, they knew our needs better than we did, knew the answers to our questions before we even asked them, asked us our expectations on day one and followed up on those expectations in closing. What suprized me most about working with this team was thier ability to communicate. If one showed us houses on a monday and the other on a tuesday, it was like we were looking with the same agent!"

Cara gave us detailed lists of things we needed to work on and even came to the house with personal items to use for staging the house. We knew we had an easy to sell house but The Keenan Team provided the real estate know-how to make sure it sold fast and for top $$$."

"If Cara and Joe Keenan weren't our Realtors, we'd have to adopt them into the family. They helped us sell our condo and buy another home at the same time. They managed to keep everything organized and moving on course throughout the process. We have complete confidence that they represented us well and professionally. We could not imagine working with anyone else and would gladly refer them to anyone."

"Joe possesses all the qualities hoped for in a real estate agent. He is honest, hard working, attentive to needs, courteous, and respectful. He is also attentive to details and did his due diligence in making sure the properties we were interested in were what they purported to be. He quickly notified us when he found discrepancies. Joe was our advocate. He anticipated needs and obstacles and took the needed steps to make sure we could move into our home as planned. Joe often had to cue and remind our inexperienced lender to keep things moving forward in preparation for closing. We were fortunate to find Joe to assist us with this process. He is our agent for life and we highly recommend his services."

"Great experience. Cara and Joe Keenen at Compass made my first home buying experience pleasant and efficient. I had a fairly good idea of what I wanted, but had no real idea how the market worked or what all the little details are. They probably saved me a small fortune and definitely saved me a lot of headaches. Very knowledgeable about the industry and the area. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a home in Austin."

"Cara and Joe have been friends of ours for several years. My wife and I have referred several clients to them and they always do a very professional job with them. On this particular transaction in Travis Country they represented me as an investor and handled both the purchase and the sale and I couldn't have been happier. We are currently going under contract on another investment property and hopefully this one will provide me with the return I am after. And I plan on doing many more with them as my agents. I congratulate Compass on developing a great real estate business model via the best online product in the marketplace. It brings real and proven leads/customers to your agents while providing buyers and sellers the best search engine available. The time and money Compass devoted to it originally, and continue to refine, has got to have paid them back many times over. In the business world there is no substitute for expertise. So yes, I am a very happy client and referral source."

"There were NO areas that Cara could have been more helpful! She was very prompt returning all phone calls and emails, and we always felt like she was available at anytime to answer our questions. She was very thorough while looking at houses, helping point out pros and cons of each property, and helped us make an informed decision that was best, not only for us as a new couple, but also as first time home buyers. She walked us through every step of the home buying process and kept us at ease during, what can be without someone like Cara, a very stressful experience. We are very lucky to have contacted Joe, who relayed us to her, as we feel there could be nobody else looking out for us as well as she did. I can not stress how amazing Cara was! We hope she will still be available when it is time for our next purchase."
