Hamden Realtor grew up in real estate, can defuse tense negotiations

Steve Keegan always had an interest in real estate. While in the midst of a 40-year career in the retail furniture industry, he made a decision to team up with his partner of 32 years Joe Giordano, whose real estate business was growing rapidly.

It was the perfect time for Keegan to make a career change. Since becoming business partners, the team has been awarded the RE/MAX Platinum Team Award for superior sales production from 2014 to 2018.

For Keegan, providing exceptional customer service was key to his success in retail management and a skill that he uses daily in his real estate career.

While working in various management positions at Pier 1 Imports and Ethan Allen furniture stores, Keegan developed a great eye for decorating. That, combined with a lot of patience and a caring personality, benefits both his buying and selling clients.

“I help my sellers stage their homes to make the finer points and features stand out. I also help my buyer clients as I can share my ideas about setting up their home and help them envision a home’s potential and what could be,” Keegan said.

For Keegan, developing friendships with clients and helping make their experience the best that it can possibly be for them is one of the greatest rewards of being a Realtor.

He especially finds joy with helping firsttime buyers find the perfect home. He successfully communicates and guides clients through all steps of their real estate experience and always with a smile.
