Success Stories

“A heartfelt thank you for the guidance and wisdom you shared in The Next Level classes. It was exactly what I needed and I wish I had taken the course sooner. A heartfelt thanks for the fantastic Listing Class last week! Hands down the best I have taken.”
Meredith Kummell, Coldwell Banker, Danville

“Thank you for what you have done in my life. You know, the work that you do is really setting captives free. People living in the prisons of their own fears and self-doubts. People who think they might want to play big, but who stay small by banging against the prison bars of their own internal governors set to slow them down. What you do, Kitty, is you take the governors off.  Whether it’s fear, or self-loathing, or insecurity, or even just playing too small because it never occurred to us what could be done. You set captives free to become great.”
Mariah Bradford, Abio Properties, Walnut Creek
(She took The Next Level)

“I don’t take many classes. I find them more a cheerleading session and if I spend the time doing what they talk about instead of listening, I’m far more productive. Your class has more to offer than all the ones I attended to date put together!” 
Michelle Stephens, Climb
(She took The Next Level)

“Thank you Kitty, your classes are so inspiring and positive. I always learn something new. Loved your Extraordinary Listing Presentation, the materials are so valuable. I am feeling super confident, enthusiastic, and well prepared!”
Cathy Baigent, Dudum Real Estate

“I had such good momentum, closing 8 deals during the class!!!  I want to reach 20 for the year. Thank you so much for all your help and all the positive energy I got from you and the class.  It helped me breakthrough!! I am working on not stressing out either and letting go of the small stuff (like a perfectly clean house!) and enjoying vacation and family time. Thank you.”
Catherine Krueger, Marvin Gardens (now Red Oak Realty), El Cerrito

“Simply stated, Kitty Cole is the best coach I’ve ever worked with and I’ve worked with several over the years. I met Kitty in 2003, and instantly knew she was the one who could help me, not only in my business but in life in general. She was able to help me with my business but because I wanted help in all the areas/circles of my life, she’s been the key to getting me back on track. She’s extremely knowledgeable, quick, talented, gifted, intuitive, articulate, and more importantly, caring and giving and really wants to help people succeed.  I can’t imagine where I’d be without her!”
Linda Traurig, Alain Pinel Realtors (now Compass), Pleasanton
(She took The Next Level)

“Kitty’s training sessions not only left me “jazzed” with enthusiasm and confidence but also gave me hands-on and powerful tools that were relevant to my market which I could implement right away! Integrity and accountability are at the core of Kitty’s teaching… Over and over again, Kitty demonstrates the notion that setting goals and defining a plan is the most important cornerstone for success. Paying attention to individual and local needs, she then provides powerful tools, lists and verbiage for every element of our business which we can easily reference at all times…. The systems we learned to implement with Kitty’s training (have and) will drive my business for years to come. From the time I started working with Kitty, as one of the newer agents in our office, my business increased almost 4-fold.”
Anja Plowright, The GRUBB Company, Oakland
(The top team in The GRUBB Company in 2022)

“Your class was the most profound life-changing course that I have ever attended. The results in my career have been astounding. My income year to date is three times more than my entire last year’s earnings. My production allows me to become number four in the company. Can you believe it? I owe so much of my success to you. I did just what you told me to do. You are the best trainer I have ever known. You have helped to bring balance and success to my life. Thank you!”

“Just wanted to let you know that the last 2 listings I competed for I got the listings.  In both cases I sent the client the Business Portfolio in advance. Both had read it and remarked how impressive it was.  When we met for the first time it was if they had already known me. I am quite sure it made a big and lasting impression.”
Nancy Mueller, Berkeley Hills Realty
(She took The Next Level)

“Kitty Cole has been my business coach off and on since 2001. The coaching was really beneficial, but the key was that it gave me the confidence to know that I could do anything I wanted to do. Teaching me to “just do it”, she showed me how to go through the fear. I now have a “can do” attitude. She helped me design marketing materials, write letters, and role play tough situations, coming up with the right verbiage for many challenging conversations. I also now have a brochure, which I never had before.  When anything difficult comes up, I go to Kitty. She is my mentor and coach and I respect her greatly. As a result, my production is in the top 5% of our company. I believe having Kitty Cole as my Business Coach has been instrumental to the success of my business.” 
Darlene Espinoza, Cross Country Mortgage
(She took The Next Level for Loan Agents)

“I have worked with Kitty for years to develop my business acumen and achieve my professional goals. My production is over $93 million now, having increased well over 100%. As my coach, Kitty has helped me identify and leverage my strengths, and challenged me to overcome certain impediments. Her patience and precision in guiding me with straightforward directives, and in holding me accountable for my success, has made all the difference. Moreover, Kitty is incredibly resourceful and has a genuine gift for connecting people and ideas with possibilities and real results. Kitty is not just another business coach – she is among the best in her class.”
Dianne Crosby, Guaranteed Rate, Oakland
