What Our Clients Say About Downtown Austin
“Being in the commercial real estate business for 35 years, I've seen my share of professionals, but few are as conscientious as Cara Keenan and Joe Keenan at Keenan Group at Compass Real Estate. They came highly recommended from a friend as I looked for a home or condo in Austin, and I couldn't have been happier with the last ten months of working together. Not only are they smart, ethical, loyal, and really knowledgeable about the market, but they're a lot of fun to work with as well. In sum, there's only one residential real estate firm I would recommend to friends looking for a home in Austin: Keenan Group at Compass Real Estate.”
- Chip Conley (Buyer), Downtown
“I relocated from Chicago for work and needed a downtown condo close to the office. Joe showed me units in five different buildings in one day — Spring, W Austin, Austin City Lofts, 70 Rainey, and Seaholm. He had the HOA fees, walk scores, and parking situations for each one memorized. I went with Spring for the lake views and the pool deck. Joe also connected me with a moving company that handled the logistics from Chicago. Really appreciated that extra step.”
- S. Okafor (Buyer), Downtown Condos
“My sister and I were truly impressed with Joe Keenan and Cara Keenan throughout the entire process! They listed our parent's home that we grew up in and had owned since 1967. They were so knowledgeable, professional, and quick to respond to any and all questions or concerns that we had. The process of selling, listing, handling offers, and even closing was explained to us so well. We are so appreciative of Joe Keenan and Cara Keenan and will recommend to friends. They are amazing!”
- Cindy Elbrecht (Seller), Downtown
“Every ZIP code in Austin tells a different story. Downtown Austin (78701) has its own personality - the schools, the commute, the lot sizes, and the neighborhood feel are all distinct. We walk our clients through these differences so they find the right fit, not just the right price.”
