Joe Keenan made my first time home buying experience easy and comfortable. I contacted Joe Keenan, told him what I was looking for, and he set me up an online account [at Keenan Group at Compass Real Estate] complete with pictures, maps, and prices of available homes. I selected the ones I liked and we were physically viewing within days. Joe Keenan 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 Keenan 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 Keenan 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 Keenan to anyone that is seriously interested in buying a house. Weekends were the only time I could view homes and Joe Keenan understood completely. Every weekend Joe Keenan 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 Keenan 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. (Note: Added bracketed text for clarity on the online account)

First-Time Buyer in Austin, TX
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.

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!
