Fantastic Finish – Davidson Realty 2022 Awards

February 24, 2023

Posted by Sherry Davidson in Awards, Events, News, Staff, Top Agents

Each year, the Davidson Realty family feels a renewed sense of gratitude for the Northeast Florida community and each other. In addition to providing expert real expert services to the Northeast Florida community, Davidson Realty held more than thirty charitable and customer appreciation events in 2022, including the Davidson Cares Clay Day event which raised more than $100,000 for local organizations. The 2022 Davidson Realty calendar stayed full with more than twenty-eight training sessions, twenty-six sales meetings, eighteen bible studies, twelve birthday celebrations, and ten pizza and notes sessions. Davidson Realty also proudly welcomed ten new agents to the brokerage.

The annual Davidson Realty Awards Banquet is a special night dedicated to celebrating and reflecting on all that was achieved in the past year. This year, Davidson Realty agents and staff voted for a banquet theme of “Party Through the Decades” and everyone was inspired to dress up accordingly for the occasion. The Tringali Barn in St. Augustine, Florida was decorated with centerpieces and party favors from the 20s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, including lifesize Rubix Cubes and old-fashion car cut outs. The party featured a popcorn and candy bar, build your own root beer float station, Italian food and desserts, and a custom decades cake from Cinottis. A big thank you to the awards committee: Andrea Gallagher, Matt Burkhart, and Mirtha Barzaga who spent months creatively planning. On the day of the event, the committee had additional help and support from Liz Pappaceno and Andrea’s parents (Mike and Mary DelPrete). It gives us great pleasure to acknowledge the hardworking agents and their accomplishments in 2022.

Congratulations to all our Top Producers for December & the Fourth Quarter in 2022!

January 25, 2023

Posted by Sherry Davidson in Top Agents

Happy New Year! We hope 2023 will be your best year ever.

We want to congratulate our Top Producers for December and the 4th quarter of 2022! We are very proud of all their personal and professional accomplishments and can’t wait to see what they achieve in 2023.

Please read on as the share their personal take and professional advice for anyone just starting the process of buying or selling a home in 2023.

Our Top Producer for December is Ron Savarese with $1.4 Million in closings.

Ron – My best advice for anyone starting out is to find the right real estate agent professional to help navigate the home selling or buying process. Being educated in market conditions, inventory, financing options, to name just a few, whether you are a buyer or seller is critical and necessary when trying to make the best decision in any real estate transaction. Also having a skilled local professional manage the process and handle the volume of details involved is more important than ever.

Our Top Producing and Top Sales Team for December and the quarter is The Nemethy Group with Shelley and Tim Nemethy. They closed over $3.6 million for the quarter.

Shelley & Tim – The decision to buy or sell a home is exciting and opens up so many possibilities for the buyer and seller. Just like any important decision in life, one should take the time to do their homework so the experience can be positive and successful! It is so much more involved than just putting a sign in your yard or calling a name on the sign of the home of your dreams. A trusted and experienced Realtor can offer a wealth of knowledge and advice along with helping you navigate through the process. There is so much to consider such as, accurate pricing, smart negotiating, savvy lending, prequalification, contract knowledge, inspections, professional pictures, legal timelines, and title work just to name some of the things you would be experiencing in buying or selling. Remember, we do this every day, so ask a professional when you are ready to begin!

Congratulations to all our Top Producers for September & the Third Quarter!

October 26, 2022

Posted by Sherry Davidson in Top Agents

Davidson Realty is proud to announce our top real estate agents for September and for the 3^rd Quarter of 2022. Read on as our best share their professional insights on some of the most sought-after questions in our local Northeast Florida market right now.

Our Top Producer for September and the 3^rd Quarter is Suzy Evans with $2.3 million in closings. Q&A with Suzy:

Q – How do you stay up to date with current trends and best practices?

Suzy – Living in St. Johns County and selling real estate from Jacksonville to Palm Coast I spend many miles in my car. Saturating this time listening to podcasts and participating in the social network “Clubhouse” I am able to connect with realtors & supporting professionals all over the country. As part of this round table of agents we are able to share best practices, new ideas and experiences. As a CRS, Certified Residential Specialist I am afforded the opportunity for extensive advanced continuing education to stay on top of local and National market trends. Frequent communications with my preferred mortgage lenders keep me informed of influential factors in mortgage rates.

Davidson’s Top Producing and Top Sales Team for September and the 3^rd Quarter is The Nemethy Group (Shelley & Tim Nemethy) with $3.5 million in sales. Q&A with Shelley & Tim:

Q – What are some examples of home projects that will increase the value of a home before selling?

Shelley & Tim – A buyer is attracted to a well-maintained house. In our experience, they don’t mind as much dealing with some upgrades if the home’s major components will not be a concern for them (Roof, HVAC, Hot Water Heater, Plumbing, Electrical). We always like to walk through the house with the seller and ask them to look at it as if they were the potential buyers. Buyers are pickier as the market adjusts and it is so important to present a clean home that smells good. Invest in having a deep professional clean, put some fresh paint on the walls and baseboards and replace or clean any carpets, if necessary. Finally, think about the curb appeal. The landscaping should be pleasing to the eye as the potential buyer walks up to the house. Don’t forget about the backyard, as well!

Davidson Realty Agent, Lynn Whitley, Earns Gold Key Certification

April 5, 2022

Posted by Sherry Davidson in Agent Feature, Awards, News, Staff

Davidson Realty takes pride in the incredible team of agents that strive to provide expert real estate services in Northeast Florida. Learning and development never stop. On March 3rd, Lynn Whitley, one of Davidson Realty’s agents, earned the Gold Key Certification through the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors (NEFAR). The Gold Key Certification is earned by completing a course that equips Realtors ® with the tools to establish lasting relationships with their real estate colleagues, business partners, and customers.

“Since earning my license in the late 1990s, it has been my goal to provide a real estate experience that exceeds my customers’ expectations. Becoming Gold Key Certified offered a learning experience to target ways to increase my level of service and make buying and selling easier for the individuals involved,” shares Whitley. “The course covered a variety of topics including honesty, integrity, handling criticism, practicing humility, and learning to listen. The training received in the process of earning the Gold Key Certification will serve to make me a better communicator, listening to needs and rising to the expectations for high-quality customer service, in addition to making moral decisions concerning my customers’ housing needs and respect for confidentiality.”

Whitley, along with thirty-three other real estate professionals, was a part of the sixth NEFAR class to earn this prestigious certification since the program began a year ago. The class is taught by Cynthia DeLuca, a well-known instructor from Orlando.

“Providing quality real estate services is a top priority at Davidson Realty. I am so proud of Lynn for successfully completing the Gold Key Certification course for both her own knowledge and for her clients’ benefit. Lynn is an exceptional agent and we are so fortunate to have her on our team,” shares Davidson Realty President, Sherry Davidson.
