back_to_schoolAre you excited to get your kids back to school? We definitely are because that means appreciating more of our amazing St. Johns County teachers! But, before we kick off the 3rd Quarter of Davidson Appreciates Teachers we are having a Back to School Coloring Contest with a very cool prize.

We are inviting Mill Creek Elementary and Wards Creek Elementary students to participate in this contest and the best part is it couldn’t be simpler! Visit http://www.davidsonrealtyinc.com/teachers-contest, download the coloring sheet, have your child color away, and drop it off at Davidson Realty’s office building by September 15th. We will do a random drawing to pick the winner of two $50 gift certificates for Barnes & Noble! Your child keeps one gift certificate and the other is given to his or her teacher to buy books for the classroom. The winner will be announced on the Davidson Realty Facebook Page on September 16th!

We are revving up to start the 3rd Quarter of the Davidson Appreciates Teachers Contest in October. We will be accepting nominations for your 4th and 5th grade teachers from October 3rd to October 28th. When you are ready to nominate just email Kristen Calhoun at KCalhoun@DavidsonRealtyInc.Com or give her a call at (904)940-5000. Start thinking about who you are going to vote for and get coloring!

Top Davidson Real Estate Agents in July 2011!

August 4, 2011

Posted by in Top Agents

It’s hard to compete with last month’s numbers, but our Jacksonville Realtors kept the fire going in July! We had over $6.5 million in sales (thanks to 18 different agents) and over $3 million in closings. We are determined to keep those closings flowing in August! Here are our Top Realtors for July:

Mirtha BarzagaMirtha Barzaga remains on top in July as our Top Lister and Top Producer with 6 sales totaling over $1.2 million, over $750,000 in listings sold, and 3 closings in July totaling over $500,000. Mirtha was our Top Lister in June. She not only works every day of the week, but she manages to find time to mentor our new agents. Mirtha was basically the inspiration for our Mentor Program because of her excellent guidance with Davidson agent, Maxine Levy. She takes on new agents and shows them the ropes – everything from how to make a listing presentation to understanding documents at closing. She is also your biggest cheerleader along the way! She juggles real estate, a very large family, mentoring and somehow she makes it seem effortless. That’s probably because she loves what she does so much and boy, does it show! 

suzyThe Top Sales Agent for July is Suzy Evans with 6 sales totaling over $1.6 million. She had over $1.2 million in buyer sales. We are not only celebrating Suzy’s title as Top Sales Agent, but also her 3 year anniversary with Davidson Realty! We are so happy to have such a professional on our team! Suzy was our Top Lister in April, our Top Producer in March, and our Top Sales Agent in January. We know you will continue to see her name at the top. Suzy has it all and there is a lot we could all learn from her.

Congratulations ladies and congratulations to all of our agents for another great month on the books in 2011.

pasta saladJim Davidson has dozens of amazing recipes and this one is right up there with the best! It’s definitely Kristen Calhoun’s favorite. She is our Listing and Marketing Coordinator and also one of Jim’s daughters. Jim made a huge batch for a group of us that participated in Relay for Life this year. It was the perfect treat throughout a very hot day. We hope you love it as much as we do! 

JD’s FAMOUS PASTA SALAD

1  Green pepper (Bell) chopped
1  Red pepper chopped
1  Yellow pepper chopped
1  Bunch scallions (green onions) chopped
1  Cup chopped parsley
1  Cup sliced green olives
1  Cup sliced black olives
1  Cup sliced mushrooms (jar)
1  Tablespoon dried oregano
1  Teaspoon dried basil or optional 1 cup fresh chopped basil (which is better)
½  Teaspoon thyme
2  Teaspoon chopped or minced garlic (jar)
½  Cup olive oil
½  Cup Italian dressing
4  1 lb. packages of pasta (I use a mixture of 4 or 5 types of pasta but always include bow tie)

Put all ingredients in a bowl with olive oil and Italian dressing.  Mix well.  Cook pasta until done, but not mushy.  Run cold water over pasta until cool.  Drain pasta and add to mixture then stir.  Use additional Italian dressing to desired consistency.  Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.  Serve cold. I like to serve with my tuna salad.

Enjoy!

Jim

Many people are very intrigued by the idea of a career in real estate. Who wouldn’t want to be in charge of their own schedule? No one to tell you how long your vacation has to be or how much money you will make this year. Don’t get me wrong…a career in real estate is not for sissies, but what you put in you will get out! You have to work for what you earn, but the beauty is you decide what, when, where, how, etc.

Above is a video of Davidson Realty President, Sherry Davidson explaining how to get started in this new endeavor – how to get licensed and then how to be successful in this business. After all, it is YOUR OWN business! She even takes you through earning potential.

We have career opportunity events every month where you can find out what a career in real estate is really like. Sherry will go more in detail through the process and a new and seasoned agent will share their individual experiences with you. This is a very “no pressure” way to learn and ask questions.

August 11: Wine & Cheese – 6:30 – 8:30 pm
September 22: Wine & Cheese – 6:30 – 8:30 pm
