dottieEach month we love to feature one of our talented Jacksonville realtors and for August we’d like to introduce you to Dottie Lay! Dottie is a very special lady to me and to everyone in the office, so I thought what better way to highlight her than to ask her co-workers what makes Dottie so great and here is what they said:

“Dottie is a team player!  She’s always available to share her experience and to lend solid advice to other agents. She has cultivated a long list of referral business from her dedication to her buyers and sellers.  A true professional. I aspire to be Dottie one day!”

“As a new agent with Davidson she was always ready to answer my question in spite of the amount of business she was doing.  She made herself available & I thank her for that as well as the kind words and support she is known for.  Truly successful people share their talents…that is Dottie.”

“Dottie is very professional. She is competent and people trust her. She works very hard for her customers.”

“When I was a new agent, Dottie ALWAYS found time to pick up her phone if I called for advice.  She is a true role model in our company.  She is very hard working and dedicated and never has a negative word to say about anyone.  A true professional and a dear person.” 

“Dottie is a real pro!!!  She is organized, precise and has complete knowledge of the business.  She builds great relationships with her customers and has an incredible referral base.  She’s tops when it comes to being a superior Realtor.” Read more

Davidson Hits the Road!

DSC_0110There has been a lot of restructuring going on lately in this St. Augustine FL real estate office and we couldn’t be happier about it! We are really excited about our new and improved sales meetings on Tuesday mornings. The agents are getting more involved, we are team building, celebrating hard work, congratulating each other, and having fun! And, of course, we are learning all about Northeast Florida real estate.

To help get more “hands on” we’ve decided that once a month, the last Tuesday of the month, we’re taking our party on the road to see and learn all we can about our area. So far we’ve seen the beautiful Lennar, David Weekley Homes, Taylor Morrison, and CornerStone Homes’ models in Nocatee and August 31st we are setting out to make Aberdeen home for a couple hours.

Aberdeen is full of great properties and builders. Have you had the chance to check out the community? There is so much going on there that you might not have seen. We are starting off at the Drees Homes’ model and then exploring what Richmond American, DR Horton, Holder Johnson, and Mercedes Homes’ have to offer. If you are interested in the CR 210 area, any one of our Jacksonville Realtors can show you around town! Read more

Jacksonville FL Real Estate Trends in June

July 27, 2010

Posted by in Northeast Florida Market Trends

DSC_0326The market stats report from the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors (NEFAR) for June 2010 continues to show encouraging trends for Jacksonville Realtors and homebuyers. My favorite trends seen in June are:

PENDING SALES: Pending sales are up in June 2010 by 20% over June 2009 and by 46% over June 2008. Many people expected pending sales to drop dramatically when the housing credits ended in April. The pending sales did decline about 28% in May, but they increased in June about 15% over the May numbers.

CLOSINGS: The closings reported year-to-date through June 2010 are 8,161 compared to year-to-date numbers through June 2009 of 6,377 closings.

SALES PRICE: The median sales price has increased from $135,250 in April to $139,995 in May to $143,090 in June 2010. We are still seeing most of the sales in the lower price ranges but there seems to be stability in the homes priced under $250,000.

DOM: The days a home is on the market before selling has averaged 102 days throughout 2010 compared to an average of 112 days through June 2009. Read more

Davidson Realty Shares Stories of Coming to America

July 20, 2010

Posted by in News

american-flagAt the Davidson Companies we have a unique, diverse team of professionals who work together as a team, sharing their collective experiences.  In honor of Independence Day, at our weekly sales meeting of staff and agents, five individuals from Columbia, Cuba, Germany and England shared their stories of “coming to America”. 

Carol VonRabenstein from Columbia, Ed Gil from Cuba, Mirtha Barzaga from Cuba, Jurgen “Jerry” May from Germany and Vanessa Cunningham from England all described the journey that brought them to America.  We were all “moved” in more ways than one, of the hardships that some of them endured and had an overwhelming sense of respect for the tenacity, strength, fortitude and resilience it took for them to leave their home and come to a completely different country. One thing rang true in all five cases; they were so thankful to have made the decision to come to the US.  They are all now American citizens and they love our country as much as if they had been born here.

As our group listened to and contemplated the international stories, we realized, that sometimes perhaps we take for granted how lucky and blessed we are to live in such a wonderful country.
