Understanding Realtors Make a Difference in Selling Distressed Properties

January 13, 2010

Dottie LayI have been working with many homeowners lately that are in a distressed financial situation. They aren’t able to pay their mortgage any longer and are looking at alternate solutions, like a Short Sale and, in extreme cases, foreclosure. Unfortunately, this has become quite a common occurrence, which is why there are so many foreclosures in Jacksonville and the rest of the Northeast Florida real estate market. As the homeowners make these difficult decisions, they feel grief and sadness.  It is my job to help my clients with their real estate transactions, however, as I work with them they become my friends too. And I want to help alleviate their stress and get them to a brighter tomorrow. So I did a little research to get a better understanding of what they are going through. I realized that the stages you go through when you are losing your home are the same stages as when you lose a loved one. After any significant lose, people experience the five stages of grief. They are:

1. Denial and Isolation- At first, you tend to deny the loss has taken place.
2. Anger – You may be angry with yourself for letting the event take place, even if, realistically, nothing could have stopped it. Read more

Davidson Realty really has a remarkable team of sales agents and support staff. Each month we like to take the opportunity to recognize a few of them. This month, we’d like to congratulate Jock Ochiltree for selling the most homes in September. Although this is a wonderful claim to fame, one of Jock’s other notable accomplishments is playing golf on over 400 courses in 14 countries.

Davidson Realty’s top producer in September was Doug Duggan with over $1.3 million in volume. We must give an honorable mention in this category to Beverly Morse who was a very close second with $1,278,500 in volume.

Finally, the top lister for the month was Lyn Sappington. And she has played almost as many golf courses as Jock, including Ballybunion, Old Course and Pebble Beach. Read more
