Inspectors inspecting 🧐 68 Front St W is a few days away from being ready for some new residential tenants upstairs. It’s been 18 years since anyone lived in these units. No surprise, they weren’t exactly livable 😅 Jason and I are proud to offer a great place to live to some new folks and make a small dent in a challenging market for tenants. Plus some exciting news for the downstairs commercial space coming soon… stay tuned 😉

Big day!!!! Drywall delivery. Big progress coming !!!

Not sure how Despicable Me 3 is applicable for a sales training meeting but Cameron insisted 🤷‍♂️

Inspector on site again 👀👀 Requested 7am on a Sunday… a little unusual but a pass is a pass. ✅ Electrical Rough In (Vokes Electrical Contracting) ✅ Plumbing Rough In (Ivrey Plumbing) ✅Insulation (Great Northern Insulation) ✅ All Around Gangster (Jason Hastings at Bang On Construction Inc.) Next we do fire separation, drywall, mud, tape, paint and continue to finish before final inspection. Big progress downtown Strathroy at this project.

So it begins! Excited to partner with my good friend Jason Hastings and his wife on this! We’ve been talking about doing something for 4+ years, and finally made it work!

May 1 2024. 8 years sober today 🥳 Casey Kiekens and I closed on our next project today, which makes today even more special. Wouldn’t be here if I didn’t quit the booze, I know that for a fact. Finished meetings at 10pm, picked up the keys and ran over to look at the pile of 💩 we bought 😂 Life’s not perfect. Even 8 years sober has been a roller coaster and has had incredible challenges. I don’t talk about it publicly besides this day once a year really… but always an open book and happy to talk privately or share. I’ve made mistakes, but we learn everyday and hopefully improve. Being open about my challenges with alcohol in the past was hard. After a while the people that made it that way simmer out of your life. It gets easier. One day at a time! Always happy to chat to the folks who could use it. You know who you are. 🤗 Ps. That hole in the wall was an honorary first kick. Already improved 😂 ❤️ dan

Masters week 🏌️‍♂️

Snuck a quick 9 in at Willow Tree Golf before the day started. It’s in great shape and their restaurant The Balcony Cucina is delicious too!

I just wanna give a THANK YOU and shout out to my fellow Realtor and pal Ryan Brady for his thank you! I knew of something off market and knew Ryan had some buyers for it. I introduced him to the agent trying to help her clients in a sticky situation. They were able to get a home sold together that helped a few people in a bind and magic happened for everyone involved. Technically, we are “competitors”. But my pal Dan Fraleigh taught me very early in my career to always be kind. It’s “cooperative competition” and we need to work together for the benefit of our clients and the public. Our job is to help people move and involves large changes in lives, great stress and huge assets that’s are the most important things to the people we serve, stability and housing. Ryan’s one of the good ones!!!! HAPPY EASTER 😂

Pool seasonnnnnnn 😂

Who’s ready to swimmmmm 🥶

Some of my fav pics from our trip down to Florida. ☀️ A lot of folks called me crazy for driving with two young ones (mostly Casey), considering the cost to fly being fairly reasonable, especially if timed well. I considered it a rite of passage. ✅ I put a lot of thought into it during those long driving hours and wanted to share my top two tips in a blog format for others considering driving with a 3.5 year old and 2 year old 20 hours straight so you too can have a great drive and vacation. 🏰 Dans Blog Of Top Tips For Enjoying Your Drive and Trip To Florida! 👙 Tip #1 Don’t drive Tip #2 Fly The End 😃 All jokes aside… it’s not that bad. Primary driver needs a good 2-3 hour rest midway then finishes the drive. Pre plan your stops so you don’t waste time pulling into a complete dump (no pun intended) to use the facilities. Get a good nights rest before you go and avoid Atlanta anyway possible although it isn’t possible so suffer through it like the rest of us. Back to work we go 🕺 The actual end 😃

🐭🏰

I cannot imagine a better scene. Quick bathroom stop before we finish the trek. 30 degree weather, next to a hole in the wall bbq joint in god knows where Florida. 😚👌

Monday meeting with my man Cameron and some chocolate glazed donuts. 🍩 Sometimes we plan these mornings in the office, other times like today, we just come down on a whim before day care. Either way, it’s a ton of fun every time and has been one of my favourite ways to spend time with the kids. Sometimes we talk about Real Estate, read books, or just chill and watch @msrachelforlittles or Paw Patrol while I do a little work. Today I asked what he wanted to complete this week. A family movie night, Cameron said. 🎥🍿👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 You wish is my command little dude! What’s everyone got on the go this week?!

COLDEST NIGHT OF THE YEAR! 🥶 February 24th is a day to support the youth in our communities. Together with thousands of Canadians across the country, I'll be running 5km and fundraising to support people and families experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness in my community. @37frankyouthcafe is an absolute pillar in our community. The support they provide to youth is an incredible service. Being 3 doors down, my office sits steps away from their facility and I see daily the impact they make and it is HUGE. This year my goal is to raise $1000. I am hoping my friends, colleagues, family and peers will help me. I will match every dollar up to $500 to reach this goal, and hope you will help me get there.

Happy New Year! 🥳 Leni says “Don’t sweat the small stuff. Take it one day at a time. Dream big but actually take time to plan and execute. Worry about yourself and not what others are doing. Wanting others to win too just creates more winners. Let’s win each day, then we will win the year.” Wise words from a 2 year old. Let’s get it 👊

Merry Christmas Eve Facebook world! 🎅 I wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone who jumped in to help out at the third annual Christmas At Playmore. There were a bunch of nominations over the last month and the hardest part each year is not being able to do something for everyone. We were able to make a massive impact in two really deserving families lives today and for that I’m grateful. 🙏 The two lovely humans and their family chosen today ended up receiving $500 EACH to Playmore, $250 to the Superstore EACH, and $50 to both Back Alley Burrito - take out and Cookie Bar. There were tears and hugs and big smiles and I’m so thankful for the love and support of the people in my world who so willingly jumped to support without question or expectation. Jason Hastings, Christie Lynn, Brian Groot, Lindsay Rogers, Nicole Miller and fam, and Sam Vokes and the Vokes Crew. You guys are beautiful people. 🌎 I hope everyone has a great Christmas. 🎄 Now I must build something from our man Santa which I’ll prob get 3/4 done and realize I made a mistake and have to disassemble and restart. Will be worth the smiles 😄 With love, Dan ❤️

Well that was a fun one! 🚜 Just like that… 235 William St is SOLD after 2 days on the market! 🎈 Congratulations to my clients on a quick and successful sale just in time for the holidays… this one felt good! These folks had met with another agent who’d recommended they list $50,000 less and not do anything because “you won’t get anymore money”…. When we sat down I laid out a plan with partners I have across different industries to help them prepare their home. With a small investment and in days we were able to make this place shine 10X better. Some junk removal and decluttering, a day with a tractor, bush-hog and my father in laws skid steer plus some elbow grease, and we were easily able to get these folks well over what this other agent had said “won’t be worth your time”. Truth be told there are levels to this. A lot of agents don’t want to do the work. They don’t have the connections, drive, experience or knowledge. Grateful I could help my lovely client move onto her next stage of life with more money in her pocket and provide a stress free experience resulting in a much better outcome for her.

Quick visit with our friends at Synergy Realty ltd. and REALLY OLD Saint Nic Minten 🎅

🎁 3RD ANNUAL CHRISTMAS AT @playmorestrathroy 🎁 2023! What a year! We’ve got 33 days until Christmas and 40 days until 2024. Longer post but want to show some love and gratitude this Christmas as we have each year, so bare with me. 🤗 I’m so grateful for all of my family, friends, business partners, and the folks who trust me to help them with their Real Estate needs. Real Estate can be a bit of a polarizing topic with interest rates really impacting families and home values swaying. I’m committed to my career and providing great service. Family, my community, and taking this role seriously are foundational and very important to me. I’ll be the first to admit Christmas isn’t a time I do well at. I’ve always found the material aspect of it difficult to swallow. I spend a lot of time away from my family and all I want is quality time with them where I they’ve got my undivided attention. We’re fortunate we can provide and have a “fulfilling” Christmas but I am very aware not everyone’s in that position and couldn’t imagine having to do something like decide between paying my mortgage or rent or grocery bill, or getting my child a gift they’ve asked for or I know they’d appreciate. With that said the last 3 years we’ve partnered with Playmore and this year are excited to welcome @jsn.hstngs from @bangonconstructioninc to the occasion. We’ve got 5 $100 gift cards to provide someone you believe could use a little love and support this Holiday season. The only requirement is you’re a Middlesex County Resident and can come Christmas Eve (day) to shop with us at Playmore Please email me nominations at dan@dkre.ca. We will choose and reach out anonymously by December 15th, 2023. We’re also open to more support, the last two years we’ve always had more people than we can serve ourselves so if any businesses or individuals want to contribute I’m happy to make mention and involve you in reviewing nominations to add a few more individuals or families. Love Dan ❤️

💦 WATER DAMAGE 💦 Let’s talk about insurance claims for a minute and a recent client experience… We’ve had A LOT of rain recently. Some areas like Glencoe and West Lorne experienced amounts they’ve not seen in years. My sellers called me to evaluate their property to prepare for sale after the recent downpours and had about 2” of water and sewage backup in their basement. The house is located higher up in the area and is graded well. A freak occurrence some might say. Insurance sent a company to remediate and remove drywall and trim. There is still existing flooring and a shower stall that they intended to make their clients keep. When I met my sellers, I told them to push back. The floors and shower stall should be replaced as well. Long story short, insurance sent someone back and confirmed these things also needed replacing. HUGE WIN. My clients now get new floors, drywall, trim, doors, and a bathroom, instead of simply replacing the 2’ of drywall cutout. That’s a newly finished basement! 🥳 Insurance companies need to keep claims at a minimum to remain profitable, unfortunately to the detriment of their clients. The moral of the story: There’s no harm in asking! Push back!!! The worst they can say is NO!

Important weekly team meeting. 🌱

🥹

Sprinkled in some work this weekend but mostly got to enjoy time with the family. Bayfield with Casey and some friends Friday, visited some friends Saturday night and Sunday spent at the farm after showings to celebrate a bday and new nephew. Struggling “keeping up” with social media… is what it is! Grateful to be busy and still make time to enjoy things like this. Cheers to a great week ahead 🤙

🥣

Great little Sunday with the “stroller gang”. Prob 3 years in the making getting everyone in one place. Have a great Monday social media world!

2nd annual Free Cone Day was a SUCCESS! 🍦🥶 Handed out 206 cones to some lovely families and couldn’t be happier! What a fun time 😊 Love @coolcucumberstrathroy and so happy Bonnie allows me this opportunity to support her and give a little to the community. The best ❤️
