DSCN0363I don’t know if it was the large crowd of agents and staff that showed up to our company awards banquet or the survivor theme that made it so fun, but we all had a great time celebrating our hard work in 2009!

The night started off by recognizing people that have been with the company for five years; Lyn Sappington, Dottie Lay, Bob Lay, Jeannie Sockwell, Doug Duggan and Laura Hendricks. The company would not be the same without them!

Davidson Realty’s mission is to “Value People First…Before, Over and Above Everything Else”, so we thought it would be perfect to acknowledge the people in our office that do that best! The agents awarded were voted on by all our agents and staff. Beverly Morse and Dottie Lay were honored as “Most Exemplifies our Core Values”. Carol vonRabenstein was awarded “Values People First” and Mirtha Barzaga was recognized for going “Above and Beyond” for anyone who needs it.

Pauline Cake was recognized for over 5 million in closings and Dottie Lay for over 4 million in closings. Doug Duggan, Carol vonRabenstein, Ted Tyndall, and Jock Ochiltree had over 3 million in closings. And, Jennifer Todd, Mirtha Barzaga, Beverly Morse, and Suzy Evans got over 2 million in closings. All their hard work is truly paying off! Read more

5 Star AgentsDavidson Realty is so proud to announce that five of our agents were named Five Star Real Estate Agents for 2009! Pictured left to right: Lyn Sappington, Pauline Cake, Dottie Lay,and Juana Husted.

Each year, Florida Homebuyer Jacksonville magazine lists the top real estate agents in Northeast Florida and each year Davidson agents make the list. The agents are chosen by an independent survey completed by recent homebuyers and other industry experts to find the best in client satisfaction. The survey asks recent homebuyers to evaluate their real estate agent based on communication, customer service, integrity, finding the right home, negotiation, marketing the home, closing preparation, market knowledge and overall satisfaction. Less than 4 percent of more than 10,000 licensed agents in the Jacksonville area make the cut, so we want you to meet the best!

Dorothy Lay is an all around asset for Davidson Realty. Her work ethic goes over and beyond the call of duty. This will be her third time accepting the Five Star Agent title. In 2008, she was awarded the company’s “President’s Award” for overall outstanding achievement. Dorothy specializes in St. Johns County and the surrounding areas.

Carol VonRabenstein (not pictured) has now been named a Five Star Agent six times, not to mention being one of the top producing agents at Davidson Realty! She and her partner, Ted Tyndall, specialize in new construction. They are Read more

Northeast Florida Real EstateWe are proud to share that we are ranked number seven by the Jacksonville Business Journal for top residential real estate agencies in Northeast Florida. The Business Journal uses value of area houses and lots sold to compile the list each year. In 2008, which wasn’t the best year for real estate sales, our team of 24 agents generated over 100 million in sales!

We believe we continue to do well in this economy because of the work environment we have and the teamwork it promotes. We have a “No-No” jar where we have to put a dollar anytime someone says something negative. Amazingly this helps keep us positive in a light-hearted way. And since the funds raised go to charity, we feel pretty good even if we have to pay!

Every Friday, Jim Davidson, the owner of the company, cooks us lunch. It’s hard to do anything but smile when Jim hands you a burger cooked just the way you want. Because of little things like these, we have also been Read more
