Barton Creek West - Homes, Schools & Neighborhood Guide

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.

Cara Keenan is a true gem of a real estate agent. She first helped me find a condo for an employee who'd be spending the weeks in Austin back in 2007. Since then, Cara Keenan has helped me buy four rental homes and most recently, a new home following my divorce. She has always been on the lookout for me for new rental properties and knows exactly what I look for, after coaching me through best practices of being a landlord. Cara Keenan shared tools to manage these properties best, and she and Joe Keenan are fantastic about helping me find new tenants when a lease term is up. Cara Keenan was a great agent and friend to me during a tough period; divorce. She helped me find a great home near my kids' school and made that traumatic process much easier by taking care of everything. The search, the inspections, the closing, and even detailed out for me what utilities to contact to get everything working before move-in. Cara Keenan was incredible.

My husband and I made an unexpected move to Austin recently. Joe Keenan and Cara Keenan made it possible for us to not only find a beautiful home that fits our needs but also gave us the knowledge and understanding of the area so we could make an educated decision. From the time we met Joe Keenan and Cara Keenan, they made us feel welcome and went the extra mile to make sure we had all the information we needed on each of the properties we looked at. They also introduced us to Austin in a way that friends would do. They told us about all the great places to eat, visit, and hang out. They both always made us feel like we could bring up any and all concerns we had and gave us the information we needed. Even after the close of escrow, they continue to check in on us to make sure everything is going well and that we have everything we need to begin to settle in this beautiful city. Thank you, Joe Keenan and Cara Keenan, for your hard work!

Keenan Group at Compass Real Estate is simply the best at what they do and how they serve their clients. Joe Keenan and Cara Keenan are unbelievable! We have moved several times, and this has been the best one ever! From looking at houses to closing, they have been like Christmas morning or as a hot brownie with cold vanilla ice cream on top and a dash of Bailey's (depending on what you are in to). If I could adopt the Keenans I would because they exemplify the very best in service, sales, and support that you want when looking to move. Hugs to high fives they found us the best house for the best price and then facilitated all the details in between. I could go on forever, but at the end of the day, I am thinking about trying to find a way to buy another house to work with them again just so that I can feel the magic again. Addicted is an understatement! GO JOE KEENAN AND CARA KEENAN! Like Tina Turner said, simply the best! And they deliver like the US Postal Service no matter what, you can depend on them!

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)
