Real experiences from buyers and sellers in this neighborhood

Joe Keenan and Cara Keenan were exceptional! I called 3 Realtors to interview for the listing of my home, which I had lived in for 27 years. The first two calls went straight to voicemail and on the third call, Joe Keenan answered. We had a long chat about my home, the construction of our new home, the timing of the sale, etcetera. Joe Keenan and Cara Keenan came over the next evening to discuss the listing. They were genuine, knowledgeable, had a proven plan and track record. Over the next couple of weeks, I did hear from the two other agents who also came to my home. One was very aggressive in wanting to list the home. It was during the time when you list on Thursday and have multiple offers on Monday. Unfortunately, I had several timing issues. My husband and I were building and weren't certain of the moving date to the new home and we didn't want to move out to sell and then have to move again. The other issue was closing could not take place before October 6 for tax reasons. We had begun to pack up our home and sell/donate some of our furnishings. The aggressive Realtor suggested we move the boxes to the garage, and she would add some of her furniture to stage the house, then we take a weekend away and she would have a showing. This was a good 2 months before we were ready to list. I found this very stressful and no longer considered her a potential agent. The other Realtor was ambivalent. He would list it and it would sell. No plan and no real interest. He was also not an option. So, we signed with Joe Keenan and Cara Keenan. I let them know that communication was my touchpoint. I needed to know what was going on. They came with a plan, which included their investment in the home as well, providing some of the upgrades for the listing. They managed the contractors to get the home ready, prepared a detailed analysis for pricing, which was tricky in light of the fact that the market had changed, no longer the Thursday to Monday sale. The staging and listing were perfect. The home looked beautiful, move-in ready. We did have to wait about 3 weeks for an offer, and they managed the negotiations well, keeping my best interest in mind. The closing went smoothly, and we couldn't be happier. I have let my friends and neighbors know that I would recommend Joe Keenan and Cara Keenan wholeheartedly. Excellent!!

Longtime Austin Homeowner in Jester, 78759
Let me start by saying that Joe Keenan and Cara Keenan did an awesome job. Not only were they polite and respectful, but they were informative and down right professional. This was my first time buying a house and I have to say they made it a very pleasant and almost easy experience. I would recommend these two to anyone who knows what kind of things they are looking for, and even those who don't, these Realtors know their stuff so they can help find anything that fits you. They don't try and sell you or give false information. I feel as if they wanted what was best for me even if I didn't decide to go with them. I can't express how much I appreciate all that was done for me. As a young adult stepping into a new environment of purchasing my own home, they made sure I understood and knew every detail that went into what I was going to buy. All in all, this was a great experience for me and I hope more people will request Joe Keenan and Cara Keenan because I know they will help to the best of their abilities and beyond. Thanks again guys!

Cara Keenan and Joe Keenan are the most exceptional Realtors you can find-anywhere. Finding a trustworthy Realtor in Austin from PA could've been a disaster, but we found the gem of all gems! Not only is their knowledge about the market and the process unmatched, but their impeccable service and reliability was what we appreciated the most during the purchase of our home. We told Cara Keenan and Joe Keenan over and over that we were sure that we weren't her only clients, but we always felt as if we were! Never a question went unanswered or a moment passed that we couldn't contact Cara Keenan or Joe Keenan; our needs were consistently fulfilled, and our expectations were surpassed. They would even tell you that we had unforeseen obstacles; but, even when we didn't know there were questions, Cara Keenan and Joe Keenan provided the answers. We also found the Keenan Group at Compass Real Estate site far superior to others in its ability to provide detailed, current information. It allowed us to search and save homes, which also made the long-distance relocation extraordinarily easier. We are happy to say that Cara Keenan and Joe Keenan have become our friends-they are truly in a class of their own! We will definitely refer them to others and look forward to opportunities to work with them again.

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!
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.

Suffice it to say, we have had a great experience with Joe Keenan. We all worked hard to get the house on the market. And he was patient with us with all our questions. With his experience and his network, we were able to get things ready and get things set up. He was able to guide us and gave us necessary space. And he was available when we needed to talk and were ready to move forward. Folks each have different support needs and Gina and I's requirements are directness and communication. At the same time, we need some time to move forward on actions and review next steps. Joe Keenan is able to provide both space, time and communicate. We would and will recommend Joe Keenan. Additionally, we are looking forward to continuing our relationship with him as we look to purchasing a new home in the coming few months. Our thanks to Joe Keenan for all his help and time.

The Jack Nicklaus Signature course is widely considered the top course on the west side of Austin, and the community's exclusivity - gated entry, limited membership, custom estates - attracts buyers who have outgrown more accessible golf communities.
The housing stock includes a mix of custom and semi-custom homes. Homes typically range from 2,500 to 5,000+ square feet on lots that provide generous spacing and privacy. Architectural styles vary from Hill Country traditional to modern contemporary, with most homes taking advantage of the terrain's natural elevation changes and long views.

Flintrock Falls is located in the Lakeway area, accessed via FM 620 and Flintrock Trace. The community sits between Bee Cave to the east and the broader Lakeway area to the west, giving residents access to both commercial corridors.
Daily amenities are within a reasonable drive, though the gated, private nature of the community means you will be driving for most errands. The Hill Country Galleria and Bee Cave retail corridor are the primary commercial hubs.
Flintrock Falls is defined by its golf course. More than any other amenity or feature, the Jack Nicklaus Signature course is why people buy here. The course, the clubhouse, and the member events are the social infrastructure of the community.
The community is small and intentionally so. Flintrock Falls was designed with a limited number of homesites to maintain exclusivity and low density on the course. That design decision is now a fixed constraint - there will not be new phases or expansion.
Flintrock Falls buyers compare with other Lake Travis corridor golf communities and west Austin alternatives. The Nicklaus course is the differentiator.
