Kara Keenan
Sales Agent
Born and raised in Rhode Island and a proud University of Rhode Island graduate, Kara began her Boston journey in Jamaica Plain before settling in West Roxbury, where she’s lived for 20 years.
After a successful career in nonprofit fundraising and real estate marketing, Kara transitioned into residential sales to work directly with clients through one of life’s biggest milestones. Known for her attention to detail and deep commitment, she approaches each transaction with the belief her father instilled in her—that she was put on this earth to help people. That mindset guides her dedication to ensuring clients feel supported, informed, and confident every step of the way.
Outside of work, Kara loves exploring New England with her husband and daughter, discovering hidden thrift store gems, and getting back on the pickleball court whenever she can.

"Kara was amazing to work with! She helped us navigate our first time buying a house and was very patient with us while we narrowed down our ideal town and neighborhood. Buying an older home can come with surprises, but Kara handled everything with such professionalism and care, even meeting contractors on our behalf to gather quotes and advice.
She made a potentially stressful process feel smooth and supported every step of the way. We can’t recommend her enough!"
