Posted by in News, Retirement

Your home is likely one of the most expensive assets that you own, so naturally caring for your home is a top priority. That care and attention is even more essential when you and your family are away from home. Whether you are embarking on an extended vacation or a snowbird, you need a trusted name to ensure your home is properly well-maintained. The new Davidson Estate Services division was created to provide peace of mind for homeowners. For more than thirty years, the Davidson Companies have established a reputation in Northeast Florida that emulates trust and respect.

 

When you and your family are away, trust Davidson Estate Services to keep an eye on your home and those servicing it. Monthly and Pay-per-Visit options provide homeowners with tailored services to meet their needs. The Monthly Service is perfect for snowbirds or second homeowners. This service provides a weekly home visit. Each weekly visit will include a visual review and at that time all faucets will be run, all toilets will be flushed, and a report with photos of any trouble areas along with photos of any repairs will be delivered to the homeowner. On a monthly basis, the dishwasher and washing machine will be run and HVAC filters will be changed. Miscellaneous tasks such as watering plants and lawn or checking the mail can also be provided. The Pay-per-Visit service is ideal for vacationers. Homeowners will pay for each visit to the home to complete needed tasks. Davidson Estate Services also provides hourly services to assist homeowners with coordinating painters, contractors, and other general service providers to provide access to the property and oversight of the project.

 

“Your home is your safe haven and ensuring it’s properly maintained while you are away is the top priority of the Davidson Estate Services division. We will be the “boots on the ground” to make sure everything in your home is working properly and any maintenance services done to your home are completed correctly. Unfortunately, the quality of service is nearly impossible to assess when you are away. Davidson Estate Services will provide a trusted eye to ensure services are done to your satisfaction,” shares Sam Davidson, Davidson Companies Vice President of Special Operations. “Our goal is to care for your home. Davidson Estate Services is committed to keeping the homes of our Northeast Florida neighbors in pristine condition so you and your family can come home knowing there won’t be any unexpected surprises.”

 

From buying and selling your home to keeping your property in tip-top shape while you are away, trust the Northeast Florida experts at Davidson. Learn more about our new Estate Services division by calling (904) 484-2170.

Congratulations to all our Top Producers for September & the Third Quarter!

October 26, 2022

 | 
Posted by in Top Agents

Davidson Realty is proud to announce our top real estate agents for September and for the 3rd Quarter of 2022.  Read on as our best share their professional insights on some of the most sought-after questions in our local Northeast Florida market right now.

 

 

 

Our Top Producer for September and the 3rd Quarter is Suzy Evans with $2.3 million in closings.  Q&A with Suzy:

 

 

 

 

Q – How do you stay up to date with current trends and best practices?

Suzy – Living in St. Johns County and selling real estate from Jacksonville to Palm Coast I spend many miles in my car.  Saturating this time listening to podcasts and participating in the social network “Clubhouse” I am able to connect with realtors & supporting professionals all over the country. As part of this round table of agents we are able to share best practices, new ideas and experiences.  As a CRS, Certified Residential Specialist I am afforded the opportunity for extensive advanced continuing education to stay on top of local and National market trends.   Frequent communications with my preferred mortgage lenders keep me informed of influential factors in mortgage rates. 

 

 

 

 

 

Davidson’s Top Producing and Top Sales Team for September and the 3rd Quarter is The Nemethy Group (Shelley & Tim Nemethy) with $3.5 million in sales.  Q&A with Shelley & Tim:

 

 

 

Q – What are some examples of home projects that will increase the value of a home before selling?

Shelley & Tim – A buyer is attracted to a well-maintained house. In our experience, they don’t mind as much dealing with some upgrades if the home’s major components will not be a concern for them (Roof, HVAC, Hot Water Heater, Plumbing, Electrical).  We always like to walk through the house with the seller and ask them to look at it as if they were the potential buyers. Buyers are pickier as the market adjusts and it is so important to present a clean home that smells good. Invest in having a deep professional clean, put some fresh paint on the walls and baseboards and replace or clean any carpets, if necessary. Finally, think about the curb appeal. The landscaping should be pleasing to the eye as the potential buyer walks up to the house. Don’t forget about the backyard, as well!
