Austin GoodwinTimeless | eXp Realty

Serving the entire Valley · Scottsdale to the West Valley

The right home is easy to fall for, and just as easy to overpay for.

I help you find the home — including the ones that never hit your feed — vet everything the listing doesn't say, and win it with an offer built on data, not emotion.

The search problem

"How many homes hit your feed after someone else already toured them?"

The big portals are built to sell your attention, not find your home. Listings show up on a delay, half the "matches" are noise, and the good ones have showings booked before you ever see them.

In a competitive pocket of the Valley, hours matter. The buyer who sees the home first usually writes the first offer.

I set you up with direct MLS access tuned to what you actually want, and I work the coming-soon and off-market channels through our team's network — so you're seeing homes before the crowd, not after it.

Buyer representation

The vetting problem

"What does that beautiful listing not say?"

Every listing shows you the kitchen. None of them show you the HOA's special assessment, the roof's real age, or the solar lease with twelve years left on it.

Skip the homework and you find out after closing, when every surprise is yours to pay for.

I vet before you fall in love: inspections scoped right, HOA and title documents read, and — my specialty — any solar system traced to who owns it, what it saves, and what transfers to you.

The offer problem

"What makes a seller pick your offer when it isn't the highest?"

Winning isn't just bidding more. Sellers and their agents pick the offer most likely to actually close: clean terms, solid financing, realistic timelines, and a buyer's agent they trust to keep the deal together.

Overpay out of fear and you carry that mistake for the life of the loan. Lowball blindly and you lose the house you wanted.

I build offers on comps, structure terms that make sellers say yes, and negotiate the inspection like your money is my money. And listing agents across the Valley know our team closes what we write.

Before you shop

5 Mistakes That Quietly Cost Buyers Thousands

Most of these happen before an offer is ever written. Every one of them is avoidable.

01
Shopping before pre-approval
You fall in love with a number you can't close on, or lose the house while you scramble for a letter. Financing first, feelings second.
02
Walking into a new build alone
The friendly sales office works for the builder, not you. Representation costs you nothing extra there — going without it can cost plenty.
03
Budgeting the mortgage, not the home
HOA dues, taxes, and insurance all land on top of the payment. I model the real monthly cost before you offer.
04
Waiving inspections to win
There are smarter ways to make an offer competitive than flying blind on the biggest purchase of your life.
05
Ignoring the solar paperwork
Owned, financed, or leased changes everything about what you're taking on. Don't sign anything until you know which one it is.

Austin and Lilly Keating with their family, Timeless | eXp Realty

Meet Austin & Lilly

A Husband-and-Wife Team on Your Side of the Table

I got into real estate because I kept watching good people get average representation on the biggest purchase of their lives: buyers rushed into offers, surprises discovered after closing, agents who disappeared the moment the contract was signed. I knew someone had to actually add value here. So I did.

Today I bring real data to your offer, a real vetting process to every home you tour, and a specialty most agents can't touch: homes with solar, the most misunderstood feature in Arizona real estate.

And I do not do this alone. My wife and partner, Lilly Keating, is our powerhouse. She has closed 104 homes and more than $75 million in sales, everything from $65K lots to a $12 million estate, and she came up through competitive boxing, so relentless is just her default setting. You do not get one agent. You get a specialist and a closer.

We are raising our family right here in the Valley, and we treat your purchase like it is our own. Building something that lasts, for our clients and for our family, is the whole point.

Real questions, straight answers

What Buyers Ask Me First

If you're wondering it, someone asked me this week. Here's the honest version.

"Do I really need 20% down?"

No. Between conventional, FHA, and VA options, many Valley buyers put down far less. The right lender will map your real options — I'll connect you with people I trust.

"What does hiring you cost me?"

We go over compensation together, in writing, before we tour a single home. No surprises, no fine print — you'll know exactly how it works up front.

"How long does buying take?"

Once you're under contract, typically 30–45 days to keys. The search itself is up to you — some clients find it in a week, some take six months. Both are fine.

"Should I just use the builder's agent?"

The sales office works for the builder. Bring your own representation — it typically costs you nothing extra on a new build, and you'll have someone reading the contract for you, not for them.

Buying a Home: Your Questions

Less than most people think. Conventional loans can start around 3–5% down, FHA around 3.5%, and VA loans can be zero down for those who qualify. The consult includes connecting you with a lender who'll map your actual numbers.

We review compensation together in writing before we ever tour a home, so you know exactly how it works. In many transactions the seller offers to cover some or all of it — every deal is different, and you'll never be surprised.

The honest answer: it depends on your situation, not the headlines. Rates, inventory, and your timeline all factor in. I'll give you a straight read on your specific market and budget — including when the answer is "wait."

Yes — and you want representation there. The builder's sales office works for the builder. I negotiate upgrades, lot premiums, and contract terms on your side, and it typically costs you nothing extra.

First we find out if the system is owned, financed, or leased — that changes everything about what you're taking on. It's my specialty. See the solar homes page for exactly how I handle it.
