Joe Kennedy’s Summary

I started the Eastside Entrepreneurs Social Network (www.EastsideEntrepreneurs.com) on October 12, 2008 to help connect and partner with local business people and hold networking events. We surpassed our first year goal of 1,300 members in the first 10 months and are now holding weekly networking events.

The Eastside Wine Social Network (www.EastsideWine.com) was started in July 2009 and our first event was held at Grand Cru Wine Bar in Bellevue on August 19, 2009. Eastside Wine will soon also be holding weekly events.

I am currently a small time hair farmer, growing hair for Locks of Love (http://www.locksoflove.com) for the benefit of children who may have lost theirs. (yes they accept gray hair). I challenge everyone reading this to join me and become Hair Farmers or help children in perhaps a more unique way ... My goal is to recruit 1000 other hair farmers.

I am the owner/broker of AAA Properties with offices in Bellevue, Washington and Solana Beach, California (north San Diego County). I have been a licensed Real Estate Broker in California since 2003. Licensed Real Estate Broker in Washington since 2005. AAA Properties is a low cost, high commission split opportunity for real estate agents who don't want the high costs or low splits they might see from other companies. We keep our overhead low, so our agents keep more of what they earn. I personally work with real estate investors and offer $500 flat fee listings so someone who wants to sell their own property can get exposure on the NWMLS without having to pay a listing commission.

Joe Kennedy’s Specialties:

Great experience in social networking, publishing, the national residential real estate/tech arena, Executive management experience, and working IT knowledge. I'm a real estate guy who can speak geek.
