What Our Clients Say About South Austin / Zilker

“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.”

- Joey Fishkin (Seller), Bouldin Creek

“I can't recommend Cara Keenan enough!!! For our first home-buying experience, she was everything we were hoping for and more. Cara Keenan and Joe Keenan were recommended by a colleague, but it was Cara Keenan who took point on our search (Joe Keenan was really helpful when we were out and about looking at properties). Throughout the whole process, Cara Keenan was super-responsive, proactive, extremely knowledgeable about the Austin market, made sure to check in about any concerns we might have and made suggestions that saved our butts when it came to negotiating on the property we went with. Even after the closing, she was helpful in coordinating some issues for us and smoothing out some work on the house before we were moving in. She takes real pride in her work, listens, eased minds and was just so helpful (and fun!). I've already recommended her to other friends for whenever they may want to start looking and know that if/when my husband and I need to move, she'll be our first call.”

- Sarah Dettenwanger (Buyer), Barton Hills

“My fiance Matt and I purchased our first home less than two weeks ago with the help of The Keenan Group. Our friends warned us about the tricky and sometimes confusing process of buying a place, but luckily Matt found The Keenans and we couldn't be happier with the experience. The entire process was seamless. They anticipated our questions, concerns and anxieties; they were always available to meet and responded quickly to any inquiry (no matter how silly or small). They give 5 star treatment and we feel honored that we got to work with them. Now we just want to hang out with them because she's fantastic!!”

- Becky Fabre (Buyer), Barton Hills
