Keene went beyond our expectations in managing every aspect of the sale of our home, achieving the best possible price within a week of listing in a balanced market. Perhaps most importantly for us, he quickly made it clear that he wanted what was best for us. He was very respectful of our priorities and preferences while expertly guiding us each step of the way. As a busy couple on different schedules, we especially appreciated how Keene kept each of us informed and involved in decisions in ways that matched our different needs and styles. His depth of experience in our local market, combined with his no-pressure, professional yet down-to-earth style, made us feel we were in extremely capable and trustworthy hands.We were very confident in Keene’s hands-on coordination of minor repairs and staging with teams he has successfully worked with for years, his expert pricing strategy and smart market timing, and his ability to keep everything on track through closing—even during a pre-planned vacation. Keene worked exceptionally well with both of us, and we trusted him throughout the process. We can’t thank him enough and enthusiastically recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor in the DC and Maryland areas he serves.

Keene Taylor and Jojo Spallone sold our house for us. If you are going to buy or sell your home, you need to get them on your team! Their competence and professionalism are beyond compare. They handled every possible detail from listing to marketing to selling. They answered all questions and addressed any concerns we had. As a result, the entire process was seamless and stress-free.

In February of 2026 Keene Taylor helped me sell the house in the Dupont Circle area in which I had been living for more than 30 years. He made the process efficient and easy for me; within a month he had prepared the house, managed an open house and we had received several offers. One of these offers was at an excellent price and good terms; we accepted it and the house is now sold! Keene knows the DC real estate business well, and acts with fine business skills, integrity and empathy. I highly recommend him.

I admired the splendid work you did on each aspect of the sale of 3523 Bradley Lane. Your expert guidance enabled me to determine the right asking price. Finally, you handled the showing of the house with consummate skill, which resulted in the sale on the first day at an excellent price.

Keene Taylor is a real estate agent par excellence—strategic, dedicated, caring, and immensely effective. After seeing Keene actively engage in showing us the intricate merits of a condo, we hired him to help us find a new home and sell ours. You can’t do better.

We wanted to work with someone who was an expert in NW DC and Bethesda. Keene provided great customer service, left no stone unturned, and kept us in the loop every step of the way. He demonstrated contagious optimism, experience, and patience.

Keene, now that the dust has settled from the big move, I wanted to thank you for all the work you did—the time, the attention to detail and negotiation advice—to bring us such an excellent result. It was painfully hard to leave that house, but we are genuinely excited about the next chapter!

About Keene

Born and raised in Washington, DC, Keene grew up in a real estate family. Both of Keene's parents were in the business, founding an independent residential brokerage, Taylor Real Estate, in the late 1970's. After graduating from Rice University with a BS in Electrical Engineering, Keene worked for more than 6 years doing technical consulting work for Booz Allen Hamilton before joining the family business in late 1989. While with TRE, Keene was the firm's Property Manager and then Sales Manager, learning all aspects of the local D.C. market.

In 1996 Keene formed a partnership with his brother-in-law, Steve Agostino, and purchased TRE from his parents, becoming the 's Principal Broker. Keene and Steve grew TRE, Inc. into a significant player in the close-in Metro market, eventually reaching about 30 agents in size. During this time Keene sat on the Board of Directors of both the local (GCAAR) and national (NAR) real estate associations, and he was also privileged to serve as President of the D.C. Association of Realtors in 2003.

Keene and Steve also expanded the company's property business, eventually splitting that operation into a separate entity, Taylor Properties Ltd. In early 2003, they the sales brokerage business to the largest independent brokerage in the mid-Atlantic region. At this point, Keene and Steve formed a powerful sales team with his parents, who they worked with until Keene Sr's death in 2008. Since then, Keene has continued to work with Steve and his mother, Nancy Taylor, as the Taylor Agostino Group (TAG).

TAG is proud to have made the move to Compass in early 2017, to take advantage of the cutting edge technology and forward thinking vision of this rapidly growing real estate company. Compass' data-driven tools and expert, top-shelf marketing help Keene serve both his buyer and seller clients at the highest level.
