Keller Williams Realty Agents Rally to Support Contra Costa County Foodbank

Agents in the Danville office of Keller Williams Realty are gathering together to help the Contra Costa County Foodbank. The Contra Costa Foodbank is being hard hit by the recent economic conditions affecting the country and the state.

Keller Williams Realty in Danville, California is located at 760 Camino Ramon #200 in the Rose Garden. There are almost 200 Realtors and real estate agents associated with Keller Williams in Danville, CA.

Keller Williams’ real estate agents pass out grocery bags in their individual neighborhoods and collect food and money for the Contra Costa Foodbank. Collection barrels for the food drive are located in the lobby and have already been filled and emptied at least once.

With all the layoffs, foreclosures, and economic challenges – the Contra Costa Foodbank needs YOUR support. Bring your donation by the office or give me a call to arrange a pick up – John – 895–2694

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.

Keller Williams Realty has moved into their new offices in the Rose Garden complex in Danville, CA.

The Rose Garden has a fine selection of other shops – like – Bittersweet, the chocolate cafe.

I start my day at 24 Hour Fitness in San Ramon, then head over to Bittersweet for coffee and their incredible oatmeal. Jay Comendador, assistant manager, is often there to welcome me with a big smile.

If you have a chocolate addiction, Bittersweet is the place to be!

Local Danville Realtors Scrutinized by FBI

HarperMees & Associates, a top producing team at Keller Williams Realty in Danville, CA was interrogated yesterday at the home of Paul & Ginny Mees by the FBI.

Four of the principles of HarperMees & Associates were sitting outside on the patio of a home in Crow Canyon Country Club enjoying a pizza and salad from Amicis (Rose Garden) when the Fed showed up with his wife and Realtor to look the house over for a temporary rental situation.

The Meeses are moving back into Greenbrook next month and an FBI agent and his wife relocating from the FBI’s office in Virginia are looking for a temporary rental to get them through 30 days or so while they close on a house in Danville or San Ramon.

No one was cuffed, beaten with a phone book or shipped off to Guatanamo Bay. In fact, we had a nice chat with the FBI agent while we munched on Amicis’ wonderful combo pizza. Paul and Ginny gave the couple the scoop on neighborhood playmates for the relocating children and details about the house.

It’s not often that an FBI agent shows up at our door, so we just had to blog it!

BTW - the FBI agent's Realtor called to let ask if they could come over, but hey - that doesn't sound near as exciting.

Harper Mees & Associates Moving to Rose Garden in Danville, CA.

Keller Williams Realty is moving their Danville Market Center to the Rose Garden at the corner of Sycamore Valley Road and Camino Ramon.

Yesterday, 3 of us met with Kristin White, KW Team Leader, and other Realtors in our market center to choose our office spaces.

We decided to take the largest office available as we will be working with 4 to 6 team members in the space a great deal of the time. Our office will not be full of desks. We will have countertops to handle 3 to 4 computers and a large conference table that will hold 6.

The conference table will be wired for laptops and we will have a large plasma screen on the wall for presentations to clients.

Our office has windows on two sides and easy access to the espresso machine and the outdoor patio which is huge. KW will have a gas grill on the patio for those TGIF parties that will become a regular event.

Work on the Rose Garden office space is proceeding quickly. We expect to have an open house in late October or early November. Craig’s band – Still Rockin’ – will provide live music for the event.
