We were introduced to Joe Keenan and Cara Keenan 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 Keenan shepherding us through the process. We looked at a lot of places because we started off not really knowing what we wanted, and Joe Keenan 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 Keenan 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 Keenan 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.

Joe Keenan and Cara Keenan 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 Keenan answered. We had a long chat about my home, the construction of our new home, the timing of the sale, etcetera. Joe Keenan and Cara Keenan 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 Keenan and Cara Keenan. 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 Keenan and Cara Keenan wholeheartedly. Excellent!!
