Cara Keenan and Joe Keenan 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 Keenan 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 Keenan 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 Keenan and Joe Keenan expertly navigated a complicated multiple-offer situation in a way that resulted in a much better outcome for us than we expected. An agent less expert could easily have fumbled that one. We are so happy that we were working with Cara Keenan and Joe Keenan. You cannot go wrong with this team.

We learned about Cara Keenan and Joe Keenan 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 Keenan and Cara Keenan 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 Keenan Group helped us find a new house, and provided recommendations for financing, moving, etc. Cara Keenan 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 Keenan Group 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 job of leveraging it. Keenan Group 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 Keenan Group, they don't believe it. The experience was really remarkable and we love telling people about it. We highly recommend Keenan Group!
