Marine Corps Veteran Turned Realtor
Hello All,
Thanks to my brother for introducing me to the site.
My name is Jason Keating. I am a Marine Corps veteran. I returned from Afghanistan in 2012 and exited the military in 2013.
I went to college at the ripe age of 33 and began working in real estate. I love business and I find this industry to be rewarding and challenging.
I am currently working with buyers and sellers and have just networked with investors and I am looking to expand my knowledge base and professional network. I look forward to hearing from all and hopefully creating a working relationship.

Thanks to everyone for your posts/responses.
I look forward to the networking.
To answer some questions and to keep the conversation going; the picture I posted in the original post actually had nothing to do with real estate. That picture was actually taken when I was going to meet with Congressional staff to discuss a program/resource I took part in creating for veterans returning and transitioning into the academic environment.
In regards to real estate, I am 35 years old, and yes I am hungry, however, I am not young and flashy. I do like to wear suits, I think it is professional, just my standard. I have started and owned (still do) multiple businesses. My network started at the age of 19 when I first joined the Marine Corps and has been growing since.
I look forward to working with/networking with and meeting with some of you.
