kd realty: 3239 Flintdale Dr. San Jose CA 95148 SOLD in 8 Days
- 06/14/19 11:30 AM
3239 Flintdale Dr, Alum Rock San Jose, CA 95148 SOLD
Listed by Kathleen Daniels | REALTOR® | KD Realty
Kathleen Daniels started working with the Alum Rock San Jose home sellers in January 2019. After living in the home for 33+ years it was time to retire and relocate. It is not uncommon for people to acquire a lot of "stuff" over the years. Many home sellers underestimate how long it will take to prepare for the move. It involves sorting through what they will keep, what they donate, and what will be thrown away.
The initial goal was to list the home in … (10 comments)

kd realty: How Does Kathleen Daniels Make An Agent Referral?
- 03/27/18 05:36 PM
Making agent referrals is not a random process.
The steps I take in choosing the right referral agent
For the most part, when someone needs an agent out of the area, my mind immediately thinks of an ActiveRain member. My mind has learned to “map” where my favorite AR peeps live and work.
If I need to make a referral to an area where someone in the AR community does not immediately come to mind, I will call an ActiveRain member in the general area and ask if they know of someone they can confidently recommend in the area.
I recently needed to make a … (11 comments)

kd realty: Susan Haughton, Alexandria, VA Realtor®
- 03/11/18 10:15 AM
It’s amazing to me how we connect with people in the ActiveRain community in ways that are truly unexplainable. I called Susan Haughton, Alexandria Real Estate Agent, as part of the ActiveRain March challenge.
Susan has found that perfect synergy in a real estate partner, Mindy. How she describes it is exactly what I would like to find in a real estate partner. Simply stated, what Susan loves to do and is very good at doing, her partner does not like doing and does not do it well. The opposite is true about her real estate partner. They divide and conquer! And … (21 comments)

kd realty: No Sales Activity in the Colony Green Community in January 2018
- 02/20/18 02:00 PM
There was no sales activity in the Colony Green condo community in January 2018. The lack of inventory of homes and condos for sale in Blossom Valley San Jose continue to create multiple offers and bidding wars on the few homes that are for sale. Many buyers are simply giving up.
Sellers, on the other hand, are cashing in on offers substantially over asking price often with no contingencies.
When a condo is listed buyers need to move quickly and be prepared to compete to win the bidding war.
Colony Green Homeowners enjoy beautiful sunsets and close proximity to Martial Cottle Park.

kd realty: Kathleen Daniels' Love Extends Far Beyond a Real Estate Transaction
- 02/18/18 03:42 PM
We are asked to share a transaction that was special to us - what we LOVED about it and share what we learned from the transaction without compromising confidentiality.
When I read the contest rules there were several transactions that came immediately to my mind. The first transaction I shared is:
What's not to love about working with past clients.
The second transaction I shared is attending a Celebration of Life.
When a Clients' Needs Extend Beyond Real Estate
I worked with clients that shared some deeply personal issues they were experiencing with family. They did not know what to do. Well-intending friends were advising them … (20 comments)

Jeff Dowler is hosting a marketing challenge contest in February 2018.
For this ActiveRain contest, Jeff asks us to share 3 parts of our marketing:
Part 1 is to share a loser marketing effort Part 2 is to share a winner marketing strategy Part 3 is to share a new marketing strategy for 2018
The Biggest Loser Marketing Effort
My biggest loser was a niche website. The concept is great. The market is definitely there. This mistake was due to my failure to make a better decision in terms of who to hire. The delays in getting the site launched were costly enough. Adding … (18 comments)

Larry Johnston is hosting an ActiveRain contest - Keeping in Touch - Searching for new ways to stay connected.
Larry asks:
Are you adding new things to your calendar, or sticking with your current plans and activities? I have no plans to add new things to my calendar. I am sticking with my current plans and activities. A wise man once said: No sense in fixing what ain't broken.
What will keep your clients connected to you, when they think of Buying, Selling, or even when someone asks for a reference, your name comes to mind?That just might be the Million Dollar question. I … (37 comments)

kd realty: A Pillow or Hammer To Identify Opportunities From Within Your Sphere?
- 11/07/16 12:33 AM
Top Producer and Active Rain are sponsoring a contest “Identifying Opportunities From Within Your Sphere” or CRM. This post is my entry to the contest.
The Softer Side of Kathleen Daniels
I am all about soft touches and not hard selling. My clients are raving fans. They know what I do. They know I am here for them if/when they need me. I will never ask a past client “who do you know ….” We all know how that script ends. With me, it ends before it starts. I do not call my clients and ask for business.
How do I know when someone … (72 comments)

kd realty: This Olympian Spirit Plays to Win the Trust of Clients
- 08/04/16 09:10 AM
My approach to the ActiveRain August Challenge regarding the Olympian Spirit is to simply answer the questions posed in the contest post.
Who do you think of when you think winner? None are athletics. Three people come immediately to my mind: (1) Jesus (2) Gandhi (3) Mother Teresa
Do you think of yourself as a winner in your field?
Yes. And a far far cry from the three winners mentioned above.
I measure myself as a winner because I am #1 in my clients eyes. That is all that really matters to me. I win when I serve my clients well. I win when … (28 comments)

- 08/01/16 10:35 AM
POST UPDATED on 8/2/2016 @7:40pm PDT
The entire section of this post above the graphic below was deleted by the author because Realtor.com and ActiveRain corrected some inaccuracies in the original contest post. I have therefore edited this post in accordance with that correction.
In-The-Box Strategies for Following Up with Seller Leads
I've never paid for leads. My leads are generated from my time and effort blogging.
The leads I follow up on are Internet leads from people who reach out to me. I found you on the Internet. Perfect. How can I help?
I treat the person with dignity, honor and respect. I ask a lot of … (43 comments)

Being the animal-lover that I am, when I think about the things in life that bring me joy ... puppies, bunnies, birds, and all kinds of nature comes to my mind.
When I think about what brings me the most joy and satisfaction in my business, it is knowing that all of my knowledge, skills, training, education, patience, hard work, and all of "my stuff" that gets bundled into what I do each and every day results in truly impacting and making a difference in the lives of my clients. … (20 comments)

About the Naysayers | An Active Rain Contest
Kelly at Boomtown invited the ActiveRain Community to write a post about Winning Over the Naysayers. This is an Active Rain contest for which participants receive 1,000 coveted ActiveRain Points! Being the self-professed (as well as accused) "point junkie" also known as a "Point-hor" ... I'm all in on this contest.
As far as I know I've never had a Naysayer write anything negative about me online ... anywhere.
I suspect the reason for that might be that I am all about going over and above and focused on truly serving the needs of … (32 comments)

I Am Where I Am Today Because I Am My Best When I Do Things My Way!
I was working at my desk when the managing officer began to pick up my files and move them. I was working on seven (7) active short sale files at the time. He said he was moving me because another agent demanded that I be moved. You just cannot make this stuff up. If you want drama, there is plenty of it in most real estate offices.
I rarely worked from the office. I was there that day because I had several appointments to meet … (33 comments)

Many Real Estate SEO Experts Are Simply Not-So-Smart Spammers!
I get a lot of spam from self-professed Real Estate SEO experts who take a fair amount of time to leave spam comments on my WordPress site.
Perhaps not a surprise, many of the spam comments are from SEO companies. It could be the same SEO companies who charge big bucks to innocent clients for creating link-backs to their clients' site.
What many of the SEO Experts spammers don't seem to realize, is that their spam comments which are left solely for the link-back, must be "moderated" or approved by, guess who? The site owner or … (45 comments)
