Jaguars 005I know we aren’t the only people ready for football and excited to support the Jags! The Davidson Companies have a three year season ticket contract for four Jaguar tickets and we love coming up with new ways to use them. Last year we did a drawing at our sales meetings for the tickets – two went to agents and two to the staff. This year, the partners (Sherry Davidson, Jim Davidson, Rick Pariani, and Ed Gil) are using the tickets to spend more time with our agents and staff. Each partner has picked two games to take the employees of their choice to. What could be better than bonding over football and beer?

Jaguars 020We are also using the tickets to get more blood donors to participate in our upcoming Blood Drive. If you come out and give blood on October 18th between 10:30 am and 3:30 pm your name will be entered into a drawing to win two tickets to the Jaguar/Houston Texans game at Everbank Field on November 27th! The Blood Drive will be hosted outside Davidson Realty’s office building.  

Jaguars 013The pictures are from the Jaguars vs. Tennessee game yesterday. Rick Pariani and wife Susan had a blast with agents Pauline and Woody Cake. They had a great time watching the Jags win!

When You’re Not Working What do You Enjoy Doing?

We are constantly trying to come up with fun video topics to share with you and this time I think we hit the nail on the head! We asked some of our agents and staff what they enjoy doing when they’re not working and the video above shows their responses. Not all of them could be shown, but I think it gives you a pretty good idea of what it’s like around The Davidson Companies. : )

We are very lucky to have such a wide variety of personalities in our building. We have mothers, runners, scholars, shoppers, jokers, fitness enthusiasts, activists, and a whole lot of wine lovers (Everyone loves when the Wine Fairy visits on Friday)! What’s most amazing is that all of these personalities come together to make one giant family.

Enjoy the video!

Work in Real Estate: Why our Agents Love Their Career!

August 23, 2011

 | 

First, we covered how to start your career in real estate with a video from Davidson Realty President, Sherry Davidson explaining the cost of getting licensed, how to get licensed, and earning potential in the industry. Now, we want to share why some of our agents chose a real estate career and why they love what they do!

In the video above, you will hear from Maxine Levy, Carly Weddle, Robin Rawald, and Doug Duggan. Every one of our agents has a different reason for what led them to real estate and what makes them so happy doing it. Some of them are new to real estate and some of them are experienced. I think they can all agree that making their own hours is a definite perk of the job!

Real Estate is a great career choice for moms, teachers, recent college graduates, or anyone that is looking to run their own business and be their own boss. If you have any questions about starting your career in real estate please contact Sherry at (904) 940-5000 or SDavidson@DavidsonRealtyInc.Com. We are always looking to add great agents to our team!

Jacksonville, FL Real Estate Trends in June!

July 28, 2011

Progress always involves risks. You can’t steal second base and keep your foot on first.” -Frederick B. Wilcox

I love baseball especially this time of year. I chose this quote because I am going to take a risk and predict that the northeast Florida real estate market will continue to improve. In reviewing the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors market stats, I see monthly improvement in every area. Also, my office had the best month for closings since June 2008.

Let’s begin with prices. The average price in June is $181,700 which is 17% higher than January and has increased every month. The average sales price is 7% higher than last June.

The median price in June is $135,000 and has increased every month since February showing an increase of 12%. The median price is down 4% from last June.

June 2011 pending sales are up 34% over June 2010 and we are up 7% year-to-date over last year. Read more
