1242349009Well, the time has certainly come for me to stop smoking.  If any of you are smokers, or have smoked and quit, you know what experts we are at stopping smoking….until the next cigarette.  I did stop for 8 years and being very stupid started up again, believe me it wasn’t hard to start even after 8 years.  Many years ago, there was a newspaper campaign to stop smoking with one of the editors.  He would post every day in the newspaper how it went that day without smoking.  It was really a very big success and a lot of people quit smoking with him.

So, I’m quitting smoking on February 14th – what better day? I will be posting on my Facebook daily about the days events, any tips that worked that day to help, etc.  If any of you would like to join me in quitting please friend me on Facebook and I believe we can do this together. It might just be fun. Ok, maybe not fun…but better than trying to do it by yourself. I have a great support system with my family and friends and all of the Davidson Companies.  Quite a few of the agents who presently smoke are joining me in quitting on February 14th.  I feel that being given the support and encouragement is going to help all of us a lot.

If you would like to email me at eevans@davidsonpropertymanagement.com, call me (484-2170), or stop into the Davidson Realty office, you can sign up to join this new challenge.  I would love to have anyone that would like to take a minute, to offer support, encouragement, ideas whether you smoke now, have quit smoking, or have never smoked to join along with us in this effort.

Renting Your Home: The Right Questions to Ask

Elsie EvansImagine you are living in your dream house. You and your family had it designed and built specifically for the way you live – and you love it! Then it happens. Your supervisor calls you into his office. No, you are not laid off…but they need you to take a temporary assignment out of state. It will only be for two years. How can you say no?

But what will you do with your home? You could leave it vacant, but the rental income would really help the family. And, of course, it is better to have the house lived in rather than have all the systems dormant for so long. However, this is your dream home and you don’t want just anyone to be taking care of it… We may have an answer for you! Hire a professional, competent and caring property management company.

Now the question becomes how do you find such a property management company in North Florida? We recommend you interview several by asking them the following 10 questions:

1. How long have you been in business?
2. What experience does your staff have?
3. How many properties do you manage?
4. What kind of tenant screening do you do?
5. What kind and how many inspections do you do?
6. Are any of the inspections inside the property?
7. How do you market your properties?
8. What are your procedures for distributing funds to owners?
9. How do you handle repairs?
10. How much do you charge for your services?

Keep interviewing until you find a company that makes you feel comfortable. Since they will be protecting your most valuable asset, you need to find someone you can trust. To save time, you may want to start with a call to Elsie Evans at Davidson Property Management. Elsie’s phone number is 904.484.2170. We think she is the best in the business!
