What Families Say About Austin ISD
“There were NO areas that Cara Keenan could have been more helpful! She was very prompt returning all phone calls and emails, and we always felt like she was available at anytime to answer our questions. She was very thorough while looking at houses, helping point out pros and cons of each property, and helped us make an informed decision that was best, not only for us as a new couple, but also as first time home buyers. She walked us through every step of the home buying process and kept us at ease during, what can be without someone like Cara Keenan, a very stressful experience. We are very lucky to have contacted Joe Keenan, who relayed us to her, as we feel there could be nobody else looking out for us as well as she did. I can not stress how amazing Cara Keenan was! We hope she will still be available when it is time for our next purchase.”
- Paul Sowada (Buyer), Allandale
“I just wrapped up my 4th successful transaction with Cara Keenan and Joe Keenan by my side. I can't think of anyone else I'd want to rely on for my real estate needs. Cara Keenan, Joe Keenan, and their impressive team are true Rock Stars at what they do!”
- Carla Steffen (Seller), Barton 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
