Davidson Realty Welcomes New Agents Jessie Forga and Jane Dulisse to Team of Experts

Davidson Realty is proud to welcome new faces to its team of real estate experts. “At Davidson Realty, we are passionate about serving people above everything else. Our commitment to serving both in real estate and the community sets us apart,” shares Davidson Realty President, Sherry Davidson. Davidson Realty is delighted to introduce two new members to the family!

 

 

Jessie Forga

Minnesota native, Jessie Forga has resided in St. Augustine, Florida since 2018. With a passion for serving the area, Jessie is ready to help with your home buying and selling needs. As a proud member of Davidson Realty, Jessie carries the values of hard work, integrity, and outstanding client service into everything she does.

 

When Jessie isn’t making homeownership dreams come true for her clients, she enjoys spending time watching her two children play sports or exploring the area with her family. Her daughter, Ainsley, plays softball and does weightlifting while her son, Lachlan, plays on his school baseball team and on a travel team.

 

Jane Dulisse

Jane Dulisse was born in Burlington, Wisconsin, and grew up on an agricultural farm surrounded by dairies and vast amounts of open land. This was instrumental in developing her strong and determined work ethic that she touts to this day.

 

Upon graduating, a move to California was imminent, as she wanted to be a part of big city life and the new up-and-coming boom of business that was happening there.

 

Jane started her career in the mid-1980s selling and listing residential properties in the San Jose, California area. Starting her business on the west coast opened her eyes to a whole new knowledge of real estate in the fast-paced life in California.

 

Several years went by, business was exceptional, and homesickness set in. You can’t take the country out of the country girl, sooo..

 

After moving back to Wisconsin, she acquired her new real estate license. Over the next twenty years, Jane expanded her real estate knowledge to include commercial, business, and vacant land transactions, in addition to the residential market.

 

As time marched on, another move brought Jane to St. Augustine, Florida. Loving real estate she could not resist acquiring her Florida Sales Associate License.

 

Jane is very committed to community involvement in her area. At the World of Golf Cascades community center, she is part of the events committee, beautification club, and assists in the pottery and ceramics studio.

 

Currently, Jane and her husband live in World of Golf Villages and love the idea that they will never shovel snow from their driveway or sidewalk again. They also love knowing that they can golf, go to the beach, and enjoy outdoor activities year-round without wearing a parka. Florida is truly a great place to live, work, and play.

 

Jane enjoys working with clients to help them find the perfect home, business, commercial building, or parcel of land to build the dream house they’ve always wanted.

 

Davidson Realty has the perfect tools needed for her to list, market, and sell your property with as little disruption to your life as possible. Jane looks forward to meeting and working with you. Your satisfaction is our main concern and what we strive for.

Congratulations to all our Top Producers for February 2023!

March 27, 2023

Posted by in Top Agents

February 2023 continues to be active in the northeast Florida real estate world especially here at Davidson Realty.  Our team continues to be at the forefront helping our customers buy and sell all types of property.  We want to congratulate our TOP Producers for a successful February!  As we spring forward into March, we thought we would ask our top performers for their favorite top spring break “staycation” spots in our area.  Please read on for their “go to” recommendations!

 

 

 

Our Top Producer and Top Lister for February is Bonnie Weinstein with over $1.1 Million in closings.

 

 

 

 

Bonnie – My husband and I believe in staycations! Whenever we find time to take a long weekend, we book an oceanfront room on St. Augustine beach. We come home feeling relaxed and refreshed. However, staycations are not the only way we enjoy the beautiful Old City. Dinner outings in downtown St. Augustine are a classic. My favorite spots to grab a bite are Casa Reina, when I am in the mood for the best tacos in town, and The Raintree, when I am looking for a moonlit date night. Whatever I am doing, I am always happy to be doing it in St Augustine!!

Posted by in Awards, Events, News, Staff, Top Agents

Each year, the Davidson Realty family feels a renewed sense of gratitude for the Northeast Florida community and each other. In addition to providing expert real expert services to the Northeast Florida community, Davidson Realty held more than thirty charitable and customer appreciation events in 2022, including the Davidson Cares Clay Day event which raised more than $100,000 for local organizations. The 2022 Davidson Realty calendar stayed full with more than twenty-eight training sessions, twenty-six sales meetings, eighteen bible studies, twelve birthday celebrations, and ten pizza and notes sessions. Davidson Realty also proudly welcomed ten new agents to the brokerage. 

 

The annual Davidson Realty Awards Banquet is a special night dedicated to celebrating and reflecting on all that was achieved in the past year. This year, Davidson Realty agents and staff voted for a banquet theme of “Party Through the Decades” and everyone was inspired to dress up accordingly for the occasion. The Tringali Barn in St. Augustine, Florida was decorated with centerpieces and party favors from the 20s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, including lifesize Rubix Cubes and old-fashion car cut outs. The party featured a popcorn and candy bar, build your own root beer float station, Italian food and desserts, and a custom decades cake from Cinottis. A big thank you to the awards committee: Andrea Gallagher, Matt Burkhart, and Mirtha Barzaga who spent months creatively planning. On the day of the event, the committee had additional help and support from Liz Pappaceno and Andrea’s parents (Mike and Mary DelPrete). It gives us great pleasure to acknowledge the hardworking agents and their accomplishments in 2022.
