Around the World with the Davidson Companies!

January 18, 2012

 | 

DSC_7726We had an incredible time eating, drinking and socializing around the world at this year’s awards banquet. From America to Germany, Italy to France, Japan and Asia, and back around to the Caribbean, we had a blast enjoying delicious authentic cuisine thanks to Chef Andre and Past Time Café & Catering, trying the local spirits of the region and even donning some fun accessories. 

President of Davidson Realty Sherry Davidson started the evening with a reminder that our company goal written in 2005 still holds true in 2012 – “That the Davidson Companies are the best that we can be. We don’t want to be the biggest real estate company, but we aim to be the best in our geographic area in customer service. We want every person that calls our development or realty office to be treated with respect. We hope their experience with Davidson leaves them thinking we are professional, honest, caring and helpful. And we hope they refer someone they know to call Davidson!”

Then Sherry presented the 2011 awards! Thank you to Beverly Morse, Elsie Evans, Shirley Barber, Matt Davidson, Ted Tyndall, and Jock Ochiltree for their 5 years of service with the Davidson Companies. Mirtha Barzaga and Sharon King took home the “Values People First Awards” for always supporting, congratulating, problem solving, and motivating with a smile on their faces. Read more

Welcome New Agents Christine Skaggs & Andrea Gallagher

December 20, 2011

Christine SkaggsOur Davidson Realty family continues to grow and we say, the more the merrier!  We’re very happy to welcome two new real estate professionals to our premier team of Realtors: Christine Skaggs and Andrea Gallagher.

It’s an interesting coincidence that both Christine and Andrea hail from the Boston area.  Or is it?  Maybe a childhood of Massachusetts winters makes you dream of a warmer, sunnier place like Jacksonville and St. Augustine where you can hit the World Golf Village golf courses, take a bike ride and enjoy other outdoor activities year-round. 

In addition to her customer-service oriented work experience, Christine Skaggs’ life experience has also shaped her interpersonal communication and multitasking skills. Skaggs is a supportive military spouse and mom to two kids.  Her husband’s military career included stints in Honolulu, Hawaii and San Antonio, TX.  She chose St. Augustine as the home base to raise her family almost two years ago for its relaxed, safe environment and excellent St. Johns County school system.  In her new role as a Realtor, Skaggs takes pride in bringing the same level of commitment, resourcefulness and people skills that have defined her success as a military wife and mother in helping her clients sell their homes or find the perfect place to call home.
