Last Thursday night was the big Grand Opening Party for Keller Williams Realty in our new offices at the Rose Garden (760 Camino Ramon, Danville, CA).

What a party and what a welcome from the community and the Rose Garden merchants. Esin, Amicis, Bittersweet and Amaranta helped with the food preparations.

Navlet’s loaned us some hose to clean up construction dust from the sidewalks and parking lot. They also loaned us some plants to spruce up the place.

The Balloonman provided the balloon decor. Cathy Lee from CLDesign Services provide centerpieces for the tables and  Julie Giampoli from Showcase Your Place provided flower arrangements.

A special shout out to Howie Kaplan and Pyramid Breweries for their liquid gold libations.

We must have had 300 to 400 people come by and wish us well.

Ever the networker, I used the opportunity to distribute a few post cards on our gorgeous listing at 3661 Treat Boulevard in Concord.

Our fellow Realtors, mortgage brokers and other professionals from the industry were impressed with the new digs. More than a few were surprised that Keller Williams is expanding in this down market.

The party was an over-the-top success. We want to thank everyone that helped and all that attended.

We feel that this new location will be another big plus for Keller Williams Realty in Danville.

After 4 hours of meetings this morning, HarperMees’ 5 principals went to Amicis at the Rose Garden for lunch. We’ve written about Amicis before and also noted that Keller Williams is moving its Danville market center to the Rose Garden.

While dining outside at Amicis, I noted that Amaranta was open. Paul said he drove by this weekend and Amaranta was packed. We all enjoy Mexican cuisine and decided to add Amaranta to our “must try” list.

After lunch, Paul, Ginny and I walked over to check out the menu at Amaranta Cocina Mexicana.

We talked briefly with Heather Gonzales, took a few pictures and picked up copies of Amaranta’s To Go Store Menu and Catering Menu. The To Go menu has prices ranging from $2 to $10 while the catering platters range from $28 to $83.

As you can see, the inside is spacious and the patio looks like a great place to kick back and have a few margaritas.

The Rose Garden along with Amicis, Amaranta and (soon) Keller Williams Danville is located on the southeast corner of Sycamore Valley Road and Camino Ramon.
