Congratulations to Dottie, Suzy and Jennifer – Our Top Realtors in February!

March 5, 2012

We still don’t have our closing numbers where we’d like to see them, but we couldn’t be happier that new construction is still on the rise for February! The majority of our closings were new home construction and the majority of our sales were traditional this month. It’s great seeing the number of short sales and foreclosures consistently declining. In other great news, we had 28 sales coming in at $6.6 million by 18 of our St. Augustine realtors. Here are our top Realtors for February:

DottieOur Top Listing Agent for the month is Dottie Lay with over $800,000 in listings sold. Dottie sold five of her own listings in February and was one of our top agents for all of 2011. We can’t wait to see how she shines the rest of 2012!

suzyThe Top Sales Agent with the most buyer sales is Suzy Evans with over $850,000 in buyer sales and over $1 million in total sales. Suzy was also our Top Sales Agent and the winner of our social media company contest in January. She won a spot in our coveted new training program, Peak Producers, so she can take her business to the next level!

jenniferOur Top Producer is Jennifer Todd with 7 properties closed for over $800,000 in closings. Five of those properties were homesites in the King & Bear. Jennifer was our Top Lister in January and the queen of new construction! Congratulations!!

Almost every agent in our office had a transaction in February. Thank you to everyone for the hard work! We know March’s numbers are going to knock our socks off!

The Story of “Tin Lizzie”

February 9, 2012

 | 

IMG_3988You might come to visit Davidson Realty’s office in St. Augustine and get to see “Tin Lizzie”.  No, that is not one of our agent’s nicknames, it just happens to be a 1930 Model A Coupe with a rumble seat that has been lovingly restored by Bob Lay, husband and business partner to one of our Top Producers, Dottie Lay.

In speaking with Bob about his “Lizzie”, it was evident the passion that he has had about working on these vintage cars for years.  “I had a Model A Ford Coupe Convertible many, many years ago as a younger man and enjoyed working on it.”  That was why he decided to look for his latest Model A, which he found in a warehouse in Ocala, Florida.  “It was a solid car, but in somewhat rough condition and needed a lot of work to make it in show condition.”  Bob has done that work in his World Golf Village home’s garage.  First he did a total body disassembly; it was primed, painted and put all back together again by an auto painter.  He pulled the rear-end, and transmission out and put new seals in it, re-wired the headlights, taillights and the instrument panel.  Next on his list is a whole new interior for Lizzie, which should be done within the next ten days.

January did not bring the sales and closings numbers we were hoping for, but there was still a lot of great activity in Northeast Florida – particularly when it comes to new home construction!

It’s great to know new construction is happening again and there are new neighbors on the way!

Jennifer’s specialty is new home construction and evaluating vacant land, but selling five lots in the month of January is impressive even for her!  All five of the homesites are in The Estates in the King & Bear – two were sold to a builder and three to individual buyers. Congratulations Jennifer!

suzyThe Top Sales Agent is Suzy Evans with over $350,000 in buyer sales. Suzy sold two new homes in January – one in World Golf Village’s premiere active adult community, The Cascades, and the other for KB Homes in Samara Lakes. You might remember Suzy from our last top’s blog on year-end awards. Suzy was our Top Sales Agent and Top Producer for all of 2011!

Jock OchiltreeOur Top Producer for January is Jock Ochiltree with close to $700,000 in closings. Jock also sold a homesite in Waterbury in World Golf Village’s King & Bear and had a total of four closings in January!
