Congratulations to all our Top Producers for March & Q1 in 2023!

March and the end of the first quarter in 2023 came in and out like a lion at Davidson Realty with a flurry of real estate activity.  It’s time to recognize our top agents who made it all happen.  We are so proud of all their accomplishments!  We asked our best this month to dispel a common myth they encounter frequently in their real estate business.   Read on as they share their insights that you may just find useful.

 

 

 

Our Top Producer, Top Lister, and Top Overall Sales for March and the first quarter of 2023 is Mirtha Barzaga with over $9.3 Million in closings and $5.3 Million in overall sales.

 

 

 

 

Mirtha – Myth: Listing a property high to set the stage for bargaining room or listing a home at a much higher price than what comparable reports show, or what your real estate expert provides seems like a good idea to make sure your home sells for all its worth. “Sellers commonly will say, “It’s easier to come down than to go up.” I say this is proven to be the wrong strategy to take.  Homes will bring real market value price. Asking that plus 10% is more likely to cause the home to stay on the market longer, generate less activity and interest, and ultimately sell for less than the market. We call that chasing the market and it’s never a good practice. 

 

 

 

Our Top Producing Team for the March is Vern and Deb Shadowen.

Nocatee: One of the Best Places to Raise a Family

Posted by in Neighborhoods, News

When choosing where to raise a family, there are multiple factors to consider, but it should come as no surprise that one of the main factors that come into play when choosing where to settle down is location, location, location.

 

For those who choose The Sunshine State as the place to call home, one community stands out against the rest – Nocatee. The master-planned community in St. Johns County has been ranked Number One among the Best Places to Raise a Family in Florida, and it’s easy to see why.

 

About Nocatee 

When construction on Nocatee first broke ground back in 2005, there was one goal in mind – to provide residents with a high quality of life. Spanning 14,000 acres and offering various housing options, including single-family homes, townhomes and apartments, Nocatee has quickly become one of the most sought-after communities in Northeast Florida, with over 15,000 residents calling it home.

Davidson Realty is proud to welcome new faces to its team of real estate experts. “At Davidson Realty, we are passionate about serving people above everything else. Our commitment to serving both in real estate and the community sets us apart,” shares Davidson Realty President, Sherry Davidson. Davidson Realty is delighted to introduce two new members to the family!

 

 

Jessie Forga

Minnesota native, Jessie Forga has resided in St. Augustine, Florida since 2018. With a passion for serving the area, Jessie is ready to help with your home buying and selling needs. As a proud member of Davidson Realty, Jessie carries the values of hard work, integrity, and outstanding client service into everything she does.

 

When Jessie isn’t making homeownership dreams come true for her clients, she enjoys spending time watching her two children play sports or exploring the area with her family. Her daughter, Ainsley, plays softball and does weightlifting while her son, Lachlan, plays on his school baseball team and on a travel team.

 

Jane Dulisse

Jane Dulisse was born in Burlington, Wisconsin, and grew up on an agricultural farm surrounded by dairies and vast amounts of open land. This was instrumental in developing her strong and determined work ethic that she touts to this day.

 

Upon graduating, a move to California was imminent, as she wanted to be a part of big city life and the new up-and-coming boom of business that was happening there.

 

Jane started her career in the mid-1980s selling and listing residential properties in the San Jose, California area. Starting her business on the west coast opened her eyes to a whole new knowledge of real estate in the fast-paced life in California.

 

Several years went by, business was exceptional, and homesickness set in. You can’t take the country out of the country girl, sooo..

 

After moving back to Wisconsin, she acquired her new real estate license. Over the next twenty years, Jane expanded her real estate knowledge to include commercial, business, and vacant land transactions, in addition to the residential market.

 

As time marched on, another move brought Jane to St. Augustine, Florida. Loving real estate she could not resist acquiring her Florida Sales Associate License.

 

Jane is very committed to community involvement in her area. At the World of Golf Cascades community center, she is part of the events committee, beautification club, and assists in the pottery and ceramics studio.

 

Currently, Jane and her husband live in World of Golf Villages and love the idea that they will never shovel snow from their driveway or sidewalk again. They also love knowing that they can golf, go to the beach, and enjoy outdoor activities year-round without wearing a parka. Florida is truly a great place to live, work, and play.

 

Jane enjoys working with clients to help them find the perfect home, business, commercial building, or parcel of land to build the dream house they’ve always wanted.

 

Davidson Realty has the perfect tools needed for her to list, market, and sell your property with as little disruption to your life as possible. Jane looks forward to meeting and working with you. Your satisfaction is our main concern and what we strive for.

February 2023 continues to be active in the northeast Florida real estate world especially here at Davidson Realty.  Our team continues to be at the forefront helping our customers buy and sell all types of property.  We want to congratulate our TOP Producers for a successful February!  As we spring forward into March, we thought we would ask our top performers for their favorite top spring break “staycation” spots in our area.  Please read on for their “go to” recommendations!

 

 

 

Our Top Producer and Top Lister for February is Bonnie Weinstein with over $1.1 Million in closings.

 

 

 

 

Bonnie – My husband and I believe in staycations! Whenever we find time to take a long weekend, we book an oceanfront room on St. Augustine beach. We come home feeling relaxed and refreshed. However, staycations are not the only way we enjoy the beautiful Old City. Dinner outings in downtown St. Augustine are a classic. My favorite spots to grab a bite are Casa Reina, when I am in the mood for the best tacos in town, and The Raintree, when I am looking for a moonlit date night. Whatever I am doing, I am always happy to be doing it in St Augustine!!

Congratulations to all our Top Producers for January 2023!

January 2023 has started out with a bang.  Our team is hard at work selling lots of real estate as usual.  We want to congratulate our TOP Producers for a successful January!  Our top performers have years and years of expertise and have seen their fair share of some pretty crazy shake of the head or laugh out loud moments.  Please read on as they share the funniest, zaniest, or most off the wall experiences they have had in their real estate business.

 

 

 

 

Our Top Producer and Top Overall Sales Agent for January is Mirtha Barzaga with $5 Million in closings.

 

 

 

Mirtha – Do you want to hear about the time I walked into a house that was supposed to be unoccupied and a couple of teenagers one being a relative of the seller decided to have a little afternoon delight in the uncle’s house while he was out of town?

 

Or maybe not, I’ll tell you about the Gopher Tortoise instead.

 

About 5 years ago I had to relocate a gopher tortoise larger than 2 feet out from under a house I had for sale which backed up to conservation.  The tortoise had created a tunnel under the house that went all the way from the front to the back.

These tortoises are a protected species and I had to go through the wildlife department to obtain the protocol that was involved in relocating them.  We had to hire someone licensed to catch it and relocate it.  After that we had to get a structural engineering company to come out to the house to do a sonogram study in order to figure out if the foundation had been compromised and to know how much of the tunnel had to be filled in with concrete.

This was a very lengthy process not to mention costly in getting this entire incident resolved.

I guess you can say there is never a dull moment in Real Estate.

 

 

 

 

 

Our Top Producing and Top Sales Team for the month is The Nemethy Group with Shelley and Tim Nemethy with $750,000 in closings.

 

 

 

Shelley and Tim – Having been Realtors for many years, the zany stories seem to flow in new frontiers! It’s difficult to narrow in on just one, so we have created a Nemethy Group poem. 

 

A beep awakes the slumbering team as their email takes off with problems and pleas.

 

“Good morning!” says one. “I have a slight problem. A tree has fallen overnight and a roofer I’m calling!”

With the closing scheduled and the walk through approaching, mother nature had other plans with a tree now encroaching!
