san jose: San Jose Summer Heat and Hotter than Hot San Jose Home Values - 07/26/16 11:47 AM
Summer Weather in San Jose, CA
 
The weather in San Jose, CA during the summer months tends to get HOT.  It’s not uncommon to experience triple digit temperatures for short periods of time during the summer months.  Being a native to California and having lived in San Jose most of my life, the weather in California seems to change every year.  Like that famous Forrest Gump box of chocolates – we never know what we are going to get each year.  
 
The one thing we have not been getting, or getting enough of, is WATER. California has been a drought state for … (31 comments)

san jose: Executors More Than Satisfied After Closing a San Jose Probate Sale - 03/13/16 02:30 PM
I had the honor of working with co-executors who listed their deceased brother's San Jose townhome for sale. 
There was a lot of competition in obtaining this probate listing. 12 agents solicited the executor for the job of listing the townhome. 
The video testimonial tells the story about why I was chosen for the job.

Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose CA
 
I took an afternoon away from my San Jose real estate business and spent several hours with some friends at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum.  I have to say that I remain truly fascinated by it all. I learned so much and yet I left wanting even more.
I took over 80 photos.  Rather than putting my own photo tour together it just makes sense to share a video created by someone else.  I promise the photos in the video are a better quality than mine. 
As a life-long resident of the Bay Area, this was my first … (25 comments)

san jose: Why Does Kathleen Daniels Vet Buyers On San Jose Homes For Sale? - 08/15/14 10:24 AM
Why Does Kathleen Daniels Vet Buyers On San Jose Homes For Sale??
 
Kathleen Daniels has a policy and a promise to the sellers of the San Jose homes she lists to attempt to vet out  buyers on all offers received.
To vet a buyer means to verify or check for validity, authenticity and accuracy.
Much like manuscripts are vetted before publication, Kathleen feels it would be a dis-service to her sellers if she did not verify a buyers lender approval prior to presenting offers to the sellers.
Many loan approval letters are not worth the paper they are written on. This simply means … (42 comments)

Trail Blazing at Martial Cottle Park in Blossom Valley San Jose
San Jose received an amazing donation from Walter Cottle Lester who died at the age of 88 the day before the opening of the public trail.
It has been reported that developers offered Walter Cottle Lester more than 500 Million for the 237 acres of land. He was certainly one man who was more concerned about legacy than millions. 
As the last surviving member of the Cottle family Lester's passion was to preserve the estate left by his ancestors. He was never married and had no children. One can only speculate the fate of the … (10 comments)

Rainy Days and Mondays in San Jose CA
We have been having some very "unusual" weather here in San Jose CA. Yesterday was so eerie to me. It was clam, still and quiet. It felt like nothing was moving. It felt like what I refer to as "earthquake weather."
I took a walk last night around 9pm.  The clouds were very low in the sky and all felt still, calm and very quiet. I stared at the sky in wonderment. I could not find the moon. It must have been hiding behind the low clouds. It felt humid. It felt like I … (15 comments)
