Michelle Keahey

★★★★★
"My amazing realtor, Michelle Keahey is the best! She managed to not only find my "needle in a haystack" home that checked all the boxes, but did so in record time! Within just 2-3 weeks we found, closed on and moved-into the property! (Whew!) Michelle is a consummate pro who has been a top realtor (and an Austinite) for over 30 yrs. She skillfully led me through the process--always mindful of my specific needs--careful to advise me of strategies to help and pitfalls to avoid. Her 'designer' eye is exceptional, and her advice on ways to make the property comfortable and beautiful is so great and an added bonus. Plus her landscaping prowess is genius! She is also a bonafide authority on investment property, as well, which also added significant perspective and value to our dealings. So...in my book, Michelle is the top realtor in Austin. I can't say enough about how happy and fortunate I am to have had the opportunity to work with her... And icing on the cake? She's a hoot! She managed to make this daunting process not only a big success, but a whole lot of fun." - Lynne P.

"Michelle did a wonderful job representing me and my house. She has excellent taste for presenting the house and she takes personal care and attention to detail. I felt my house was in good hands and I felt she kept me very well informed all along the way about the activity. I would certainly use her again. " - Cynthia H.

"Michelle Keahey helped me with the sale of an apartment, the purchase and sale of a house and with the management of a rental property. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She gave me great advice, connected me with contractors, and expertly negotiated and closed. She has a tasteful sense of design for staging to make a property attractive to buyers and understands the strategy for getting the best price on either side of a transaction. She knows the Austin market really well. She repeatedly went above and beyond and was a great partner in all of the help she's given me over the years. I only wish I could bring her with me to France!" - Shannon R.

"I want to express our appreciation to Michelle for agreeing to be our agent and to Compass for agreeing to represent us. We appreciate the enormous amount of effort you put into selling the Bartow's Paradise Ranch, as well as the professional manner in which you handled the entire process and your determination. We also appreciate your communication, keeping us updated on the status of the contract and sale at all times. After all was said and done, you managed to strike a good deal and get a good price for the property in a matter of weeks. Michelle, we are grateful for your generous charitable contribution in our honor." - Jimmy and Trish B.

"Michelle was invaluable in helping us navigate an uncertain market en route to purchasing our first home in Travis Heights at the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020. Her knowledge of the neighborhood (where she also lives) was unparalleled. By leveraging her relationships, Michelle was able to show us homes that met our criteria before they officially came on the market and helped us gain access to properties during the tricky first days of the coronavirus crisis. She even gave us our first face masks, which her friend had made by hand. With her help, we were able to purchase a wonderful home in Travis Heights for 5% under list price. Michelle was also able to leverage her network to recommend an excellent builder, designer, and landscaper – all of which helped us renovate and improve our home. As a result, our home has appreciated 60% in the 18 months since we purchased it. We’ll always be grateful to Michelle for helping us get the most out of our experience." - Jason & Mary

"Michelle is wonderful to work with! We love her to death!" - Heather S.

★★★★★
"What Realtor in Austin would want to represent a demanding, obnoxious client that doesn’t think he needs hand-holding or guidance. Well, Michelle did, not once but twice. In 2017 she sold my home in SoCo in one week and then found me a beautiful home designed by an excellent architect on the edge of SoCo, but it was only temporary. This year I asked her to find my "dream home" and after several months of searching and her saying, “absolutely not!”, we found it. I was happy. Anyway, I took possession this week, and I am even more happy. Michelle is a 10 Star Realtor." - Tom R.

★★★★★
"By far, Michelle exceeded mine and my daughter's expectations. I've known her for years. She made it possible for my late husband to rent the bungalow adjacent to our home around 2014. In a very clever, even audacious move (it was already promised to someone else) she switched to a French Computer Engineering Professor of UT. Prepared all the paperwork, of course. Her incredible instinct and the neatest possible procedure gave us all a perfect agreement that lasted years. She's been a friend ever since. After very painful months since my husband's demise, Michelle proposed selling both my properties, house, and bungalow, with the inherent problem of the large one overlapping the legal space of the smaller, she came with the project of selling them together. She thought of everything, from cleaning outdoors and indoors, of advertising, of showing whatever potential clients asked to see them. Of prices, of legal procedures, talking to my lawyer, introducing a professional in an estate sale, and getting everything neatly organized. Michelle Keahey is beautiful in every sense: a human being, a friend, a business woman. She's so knowledgeable, cautious, respectful of me and my daughter opinions, yet her advice was always focused on our best interests." - Tita V.

★★★★★
"I loved working with Michelle. Michelle had helped us with the purchase of the home a few years ago, and I didn't have any second thoughts about trusting her with the sale. She understands the Austin market, and we trusted her opinion on the pricing and timing of the sale. When some issues came up with water intrusion in the home, Michelle responded quickly and came up with an agreeable plan to get repairs done. She stayed on top of the issue and got the house closed in a timely manner, and we appreciated that. I would definitely contact Michelle again for any future needs and would highly recommend her to friends and family." - Barbara H.

★★★★★
"Michelle is really great to work with. She makes the whole transaction easy and enjoyable. This was the second time we have worked with Michelle, and we cannot recommend her more highly. We will definitely look for Michelle's help again should we want to buy or sell in the future." - Sean M.

★★★★★
"Michelle is an excellent Realtor. She's smart, intuitive and knowledgeable about the Austin market. I know I am a demanding client, sometimes picky, other times indecisive. But, I felt that Michelle listened, responded candidly, and looked after my best interests. She ably listed my south Austin home, got it sold, and patiently helped me find another. I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle." - Tommy R.

★★★★★
"Michelle Keahey was an absolute pleasure to work with during my entire home buying process. I'm a first time home buyer and she made me feel so comfortable and confident in my decision making throughout the entire process. She was always easy to reach if I had any questions and she ultimately helped guide me to my perfect first home during our first day visiting properties! She was able to successfully negotiate down the final price of my home and then further negotiate certain repairs after the home inspection. As long as I'm in Austin, Michelle will be my realtor and I highly recommend her to anyone in the Austin area looking to buy or sell." - Mollie L.

★★★★★
"I've worked with Michelle Keahey for several years and she is a hardworking pro. 100% reliable and she knows the process backwards and forwards. Can't say enough good things about her! " - Alton M.

★★★★★
"We have been very happy with Michelle Keahey, who was our agent in 2007 when we first moved to Austin, and again this year, when we sold our first home, and purchased another. Clearly, the fact that we reached out to her again is a recommendation in its own right, but I would like to add a few words to that. Michelle is a fantastic real estate agent. She knows Austin well, reads her customers well, and in our experience, matches people and properties very successfully. In other words, she is knowledgeable, efficient, kind, and responsive, and we have trusted (and continue to trust) her judgment on all issues related to home ownership. We have also enjoyed getting to know her as a person." - Andreana H.

★★★★★
"Michelle Keahey did an excellent job as my agent. I have known her for a long time, knew of her good reputation and was sure she would be my choice if I ever sold my house in Austin. It was the best choice I could have made and would recommend her highly" - Heide P.

★★★★★
"I had 4 days in Austin to buy a condo as an investment. Working with Michelle Keahey, I saw 25+ properties in 3 days, made an offer on one, and owned it 10 days later. It was a whirlwind and Michelle was very much up to the challenge. I didn't waste her time and she didn't waste mine. She \got\" what I was looking for and helped me find it in an incredibly short period of time. I'd definitely recommend her! "" - P K.

★★★★★
"Michelle Keahey with Compass has sold two homes for my family and did an exemplary job. She was able to guide us in preparing the homes for sale and her contacts with remodelers helped immensely. Both homes sold quickly and closing was smooth and fast as well. She understands buyers extremely well and that made a big difference. Very pleased with Michelle and will go to her again." - Drew S.

★★★★★
"Michelle has been wonderful for me and my daughter. My daughter Meredith grew up in the house and was reluctant to let it go. She especially did not want it to be torn down for the lot since her father, Allen, had added many architectural features and it was built in 1934. Michelle patiently found her an attorney to draw up a deed restriction that preserves the house from destruction. She refurbished the house and found the perfect buyers for us. She always answered our questions and I highly recommend her services to anyone who needs a caring realtor." - Lynn

★★★★★
"We loved Michelle. She specifically tended to our needs based on what was most important to us. She went above and beyond our expectations. Michelle used her years of professional experience to give us lots of useful advice that helped us make the best decision, always coupled with her fabulous sense of humor. Thank you Michelle and thank you Compass for a positive experience." - Betelhem M. and Sean M.

★★★★★
"Michelle was great to work with in every respect. It was a challenging situation with several hurdles to overcome, and she handled everything very professionally on my behalf." - Mike B.

★★★★★
"Michelle Keahey was a pleasure to work with. She was extremely professional, helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. I am an out of town buyer and Michelle went out of her way to assist me. I couldn't have been any more pleased. Thank you." - Tom F.

★★★★★
"We recently closed the sale of our home in Travis Heights with the thoroughly professional (and friendly) support of Michelle Keahey. We are very happy with the way Michelle managed the entire process. Michelle totally exceeded our expectations. She responded quickly to questions whether sent by phone or email. Michelle helped us prepare our property so that it would be attractive and easy to care for during the listing period. It sold quickly and at list price. We will most certainly be recommending Michelle Keahey to our friends and neighbors. My husband and I were very lucky to have found her!" - Janice H.

★★★★★
"We have bought and sold numerous homes over the past 20 years and used different realtors each time. Michelle Keahey was far and above the best realtor we have ever dealt with. She was easily accessible when we needed her, professional, patient and ready to go to bat for us with a very difficult builder. We have never had a realtor come to a closing with us and it was reassuring to know she was there if we had any questions. While I hope to not have to buy or sell for a very long time, if I do, I will absolutely us Michelle and plan to shout it above the rooftops to all friends in Austin that she is THE BEST!" - Greg H.

★★★★★
"I want to follow through with my expression of appreciation for supporting me in disputing the lowball appraisal on my house refinance effort. They did eventually alter/adjust the appraisal. I want to thank you again for all of your professional support and friendship over the years, especially during this time that I have lived in California." - Michael

★★★★★
"Michelle recently listed and sold a condominium/ half duplex for me. Michelle has a sharp focus on the entire sales process, and worked hard to market the property, find qualified buyers and close the deal. She lives in the Travis Heights neighborhood and does a great job in selling the location. Our communication was clear. Michelle's passion for real estate makes her an excellent agent that I can readily recommend. " - Don

★★★★★
"Michelle was absolutely fantastic. She has thorough knowledge of the Austin market and in-depth expertise regarding the condition and quality we should expect for our budget. She had extremely helpful insights throughout the process and it was apparent that her interests and ours were one and the same. If she did not believe a house was right for us, she would say so, often pointing out defects we had initially missed. Michelle was a professional and a joy to be around. She was extremely patient with us and is now a friend! Fantastic experience!" - Daniel

★★★★★
"A friend recommended Michelle Keahey after she'd sold his place. \Just do what she says,\" he said. We did and we couldn't be happier. " - Richard T.

★★★★★
"Michelle Keahey more than exceeded our expectations. This was our third go around with buying a house in the past 16 years. Michelle showed us what an agent was supposed to do to help us with organizing and scheduling everything. She always knew someone that could help and all of her recommended people were great. Michelle was very patient and accommodating and she gave us our space when we needed it. I felt like Michelle listened to what were were saying too. I don't want to go through another move anytime soon but if we did, I'd call Michelle in a heart beat. Thanks for the fabulous experience. You really know what putting the customer first means." - Kelly E.

★★★★★
"Hard to tell you how much we appreciate all the great work you've done in listing BR and marketing it for us -- the great pictures, the multiple trips out, and dealing with the squatter-problem, which should be soon over. Couldn't have asked for finer service! a very lucky event when you came into our lives -- Thank you!" - Jack and Marily

★★★★★
"Words cannot express my gratitude for your caring professionalism and support in leasing my property in Austin." - Michael

★★★★★
"I can't say enough positive things about how the sale of my home earlier this year was handled by Michelle Keahey. Here recommendations on staging the home for prospective buyers were invaluable and aided immensely in the sale (2 days) of the house. Listing the home was an effortless and quick process; additionally her insight to the local market enabled us to better refine our search in finding a new home. I highly recommend Michelle as your realtor! Her can-do attitude, enthusiasm, and attention to detail will ensure a pleasurable and profitable experience." - John A.

★★★★★
"I helped move my uncle of 92 out of Austin to be close to family. My uncle and family were left with the task of preparing a 1920's home for the market. We were out of state and when I traveled down to Austin from Maryland to oversee the packing of furniture, Michelle was there to meet with me. She arranged for an inspection, provided her market analysis, and asked for an independent market analysis from a colleague. The meetings helped to define the work to be done and I left Austin with a clear plan of action. Each time I hired a contractor to do landscaping, painting, or other work toward preparation for sale she was there to report on the progress. Although we were out of state Michelle was in constant communication and we always understood where we were in the process of both preparation for sale and the listing and closing process. This is only the second time I've sold a home but I can't image having a better agent in our corner than Michelle. She knows the market well, is very detail oriented, and handled the entire process professionally and with great care." - William B.

★★★★★
"We are currently in our 5th buy/sell relationship with Michelle! She has done a great job in each transaction. She is the type of realtor that will get out and plant flowers herself if she thinks it will sell your home faster. She has great resources to take care of any items that need repairing before a sale and makes every effort to oversee those projects. She's got a great personality and is very thorough." - Jenny
