About Joe Done

Raised in the Snoqualmie Valley, in the woods of the Indian Hill community
…
(15 minutes from Snoqualmie Falls) Joe comes from a family of 5 boys. His parents took an active roll in their sons’ education; all 5 of the Done boys were home-schooled from pre-school to high school, and at age 23 Joe earned a Bachelor’s degree from CWU in Ellensburg.

While growing up, Joe was active in the Boy Scouts of America where he achieved the rank of Eagle Scout and he made many life-long friendships. When asked what his most memorable experience in Scouts was, he replied “definitely the 50 mile canoe ‘high adventure trip’ at Ross Lake in the North Cascades”!

Joe has always had an entrepreneurial mind-set, in fact he started his first business at age 9. Mentored by his father, a successful business executive in the tech industry, Joe wrote and submitted his first business plan for a dog breeding business to his first ever Angel investor for the seed money. Joe’s dog breeding business was profitable and helped cover his baseball training at Rijo Athletics in Woodinville, and Summer Baseball programs which eventually led to multiple college scholarships. Baseball has been an area of passion for Joe, one that took him across the United States and to the Dominican Republic, and ultimately shaped his current life story! Several of his past teammates, currently play in the MLB.

Earning multiple College scholarships, Joe played Baseball first at Skagit Valley Community College, then he was recruited to Northwestern College in Iowa, and ultimately he came back to Washington State to play at Central Washington University. A fateful visit to Ellensburg in the Summer of 2017 launched Joe into his current role as co-owner & Co-founder of an Event Venue that is located on a rural luxury property. Joe is a Husband to Emma Done and a Father to Briar Kate Done, while he takes an active role as a leader within the Community. Read more about that fateful journey here!

Real estate runs in the Done family blood; Joe’s paternal grandparents have owned many income properties and his Grandmother has served as an inspiration and mentor to Joe — in fact, Grandma Done has held a real estate license for over 50 years. In college, Joe also studied music and film while in the process of gaining his Bachelor’s degree in Public Relations. Joe’s natural talent for film creation and production has been fostered through his relationship with Heidi Bright, CEO at BigDogRealty.com and partner in the Rural Luxury Event Venue Business. Together, Heidi and Joe have collaborated to write captivating Story-boards and to produce unique short films which have been key in providing BigDogRealty.com clients with distinctive on-line marketing! Their style in showcasing Luxury Lifestyle Properties has truly set BigDogRealty clients’ properties apart “from the pack” — and they’ve been attracting Buyers to their listings via this powerful marketing strategy.

Joe currently serves as the Marketing & Client Services Director at BigDogRealty.com where he Teams with Heidi (his business partner and mentor), Rachel Hall their Administrative Assistant, and Kora Lou Done who proudly serves as the NEW BigDogRealty.com mascot.
