Davidson Realty takes pride in the incredible team of agents that strive to provide expert real estate services in Northeast Florida. Learning and development never stop. On March 3rd, Lynn Whitley, one of Davidson Realty’s agents, earned the Gold Key Certification through the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors (NEFAR). The Gold Key Certification is earned by completing a course that equips Realtors ® with the tools to establish lasting relationships with their real estate colleagues, business partners, and customers.

 

“Since earning my license in the late 1990s, it has been my goal to provide a real estate experience that exceeds my customers’ expectations. Becoming Gold Key Certified offered a learning experience to target ways to increase my level of service and make buying and selling easier for the individuals involved,” shares Whitley. “The course covered a variety of topics including honesty, integrity, handling criticism, practicing humility, and learning to listen. The training received in the process of earning the Gold Key Certification will serve to make me a better communicator, listening to needs and rising to the expectations for high-quality customer service, in addition to making moral decisions concerning my customers’ housing needs and respect for confidentiality.”

 

Whitley, along with thirty-three other real estate professionals, was a part of the sixth NEFAR class to earn this prestigious certification since the program began a year ago. The class is taught by Cynthia DeLuca, a well-known instructor from Orlando. 

 

“Providing quality real estate services is a top priority at Davidson Realty. I am so proud of Lynn for successfully completing the Gold Key Certification course for both her own knowledge and for her clients’ benefit. Lynn is an exceptional agent and we are so fortunate to have her on our team,” shares Davidson Realty President, Sherry Davidson.

Davidson Realty is proud of the team of excellent real estate professionals that are focused and united behind their mission of valuing people first above everything. The agents at Davidson Realty continuously strive to provide superior real estate services to their clients. That effort is often recognized and applauded by their clients and peers. 

 

Recently, seven Davidson Realty agents were honored with the Five Star Real Estate Agent award. What makes this award especially heartwarming is the fact that candidates are identified through evaluations completed by consumers. Davidson Realty is proud of Mirtha Barzaga, Jennifer Todd, Liz Pappaceno, Candy Gil, Suzy Evans, Reba Barkley, and Margherite Myers for receiving this well-deserved award. 

 

Recipients of the Five Star Real Estate Agent award must satisfy five objective eligibility and evaluation criteria that are associated with real estate agents who provide quality services to their clients. Annually, the award process is conducted in each market. Recent homebuyers are asked to assess real estate agents that they have worked with and evaluate them based on ten criteria. The recent homebuyers are able to evaluate up to two real estate agents in order to measure the experience with both the purchase and sale side of a move. 

 

“The Davidson Realty team goes above and beyond for our clients. We are overjoyed that the efforts of seven of our agents were recognized as they receive the Five Star Real Estate Agent award,” shares Davidson Realty President, Sherry Davidson. “At Davidson Realty, putting our clients first is always our top priority!”

Northeast Florida Real Estate Market Update

March 21, 2022

Posted by in News, Northeast Florida Market Trends

“Life will always throw you curves, just keep fouling them off. The right pitch will come, and when it does, be prepared to run the bases.” – Rick Maksian

I love all sports, but baseball is my favorite. My heart is happy now that the owners and players have come to an agreement. Go Braves!

 

Even with all that is happening in the world right now, there is a huge demand for real estate in Northeast Florida, unfortunately, the supply is continuing to decline. As a result of the supply shortage and overall inflation, the prices keep going up.

 

The Northeast Florida Association of Realtors market review for all property types in all 6 counties shows a median sales price of $329,995 which is up 25.3% over last year and 3.6% over last month. In February, 32.5% of the closings were over list price. The median days a property was on the market is 16 days which is down from last year and last month.

 

There were 2,818 new listings; however, there were 2,987 pending sales. We sold more homes in February than came on the market. There is 1.2 months supply of inventory.

 

The Northeast Florida Builders Association reported 1,332 single-family home building permits were issued in February which is an increase of 150 over last year. St. Johns County issued 612, Duval 474, Clay 144 and Nassau 102. The builders continue trying to meet the buyer demand.

 

An interesting article from Florida Realtors says “Nationally, a homeowner who purchased a single-family existing home 10 years ago at the median sales price of $162,600 is likely to have accumulated $229,400 in housing wealth. Of this wealth gain, 86% can be attributed to price appreciation.” Lawrence Yun, the National Association of Realtors Chief Economist is quoted in another article talking about home prices being a great inflation hedge.

 

I hope you are adjusting to Daylight Savings time and get to enjoy some basketball and baseball this spring. Please let us know if we can help you with any real estate needs. We are always happy to share our knowledge and talk about options.
