Steve Kennedy Team

What Steve Kennedy Team does

Steve Kennedy Team is a Seattle-based residential real estate brokerage team affiliated with Compass, operating from the Compass Fremont Office at 837 N 34th St #100. The team consists of four licensed brokers — Steve Kennedy (lead), Melissa Klinnert, Jennifer Svrcek, and Connor Kennedy — collectively bringing 60+ years of specialized experience across new construction, remodeling, multi-family/short-sale, equestrian, and first-time buyer segments. The firm's primary service area is the Queen Anne neighborhood and surrounding Seattle communities, with secondary coverage in Snohomish County.

Core products and underlying technology are built around the Compass platform, which provides listings syndication, CRM, transaction management, MLS integration via Northwest MLS, and the Compass Concierge seller service (a $25,000 zero-interest loan for pre-sale improvements). The team's own digital presence spans a Wix-hosted stevekennedy.com site, American Dream TV video content, and active TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook channels. The team sells directly to residential buyers and sellers through personalized consultation, property showings, community events, and a free Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) used as lead generation.

The revenue model is commission-based on residential real estate transactions. The team earns transaction fees on both buyer and seller representation in the Seattle and Snohomish markets. Specific commission rates are not publicly disclosed. 2024 reported metrics include $50M+ in annual sales volume and 1,000+ deals closed, with Steve Kennedy maintaining Top 10 Agent in the Pacific Northwest status for 20 consecutive years. Marketing channels mix community involvement (Queen Anne Help Line, Queen Anne Farmers Market, Seattle Seafair Pirates, St. Anne's School), content/video marketing, organic social, and Compass-driven distribution.
