When prospective buyers are looking for a house, they’re not just buying four walls and a door. They’re looking for a home they can grow in, supported by a vibrant community. MasterCraft Builder Group specializes in just that – crafting homes and building communities. They are a semi-custom home builder and community developer specializing in the Northeast Florida market.

 

MasterCraft designs and creates thoughtful spaces that are tailored to its residents. They offer builds in three unique communities: Silverleaf, Maderia and Trailmark. These communities are amenity-rich, appealing to diverse crowds and designed with a deep appreciation for nature. Open land, conservation spaces and recreational access are all de rigueur in communities featuring MasterCraft homes.

 

One thing our Realtors and buyers love about MasterCraft homes is their Higher Standards. Their commitment to providing top-notch builds is evident throughout the home-buying process. Their fine craftsmanship shows in quality materials, better building techniques and a promise not to cut corners. It also means that buyers have choices when it comes to building their dream home. Homeowners have the flexibility to personalize design and finishes, giving each home its own unique personality. Unequaled customer service is the peak of MasterCraft’s Higher Standards. Buyers enjoy concierge service from contract to closing.

 

MasterCraft Builder Group knows the local community – not only do their staff live and work in Northeast Florida. They are deeply entrenched in the community, providing financial and logistical support to charitable organizations annually. Davidson Realty and MasterCraft have formed a strong bond through their philanthropic work.

Congratulations to all our TOP Producers in May!

June 19, 2023

Posted by in Top Agents

May the month known to represent love and success proved to be true here at Davidson Realty.  Lots of both going around as we celebrate and acknowledge our TOPS this month!  It is always insightful to hear from our best so this month we asked them for their advice that could help future home sellers.  We asked them for anyone thinking of selling their home what are their TOP 3 recommendations for sellers to consider or do before they hit the market. Please read on as they share their helpful tips.

 

 

 

Our Top Producer is Mirtha Barzaga with over $2.1 million in closings for the month.

 

 

 

 

 

Mirtha – When I meet with a prospective seller I go through their home and give them a detailed list of my top recommendations.

  • Usually this includes giving them a punch list of things I notice that should be repaired and give them vendors they could use in case they need them.
  • Since curb appeal is so important in attracting prospective buyers, I also recommend they pressure wash the house and driveway, as the home should look as fresh as possible.  In continuing with the outside landscaping is a must! I recommend revamping beds, proper trimming, and mulch if necessary.
  • Another key tip I strongly suggest to sellers is to Declutter.   Less is more!  You want buyers walking in and being able to appreciate the space and picture themselves in the house. Pack away everything you can, after all you are moving.  Whatever you are still using in showers or kitchen, keep in a plastic basket that can be put away when the showings are taking place.

 

 

 

Our Top Lister and Top Overall Sales for May is Reba Barkley with over $1.3 Million in pending sales.

 

 

 

 

Reba

  1. First impressions matter, and the exterior of the home can peak a Buyer’s interest in anticipation of what will be seen inside. A manicured lawn pruned and shaped shrubbery, seasonal plantings, welcome mat, and wreath on the door sets a positive tone before a Buyer enters the home.
  2. Less is more when selling a home. Buyers need to picture themselves living in the home, which means decluttering, depersonalizing, and minimizing furnishings and accessories. Eliminate any distractions that will interfere with the focus on the highlights of the home and what makes it stand out among other listings.                         
  3. A neutral color palette works with most furnishings, gives Buyers a clearer perception of how their items will fit in the home, and can eliminate a Buyer calculation of an out-of-pocket cost of repainting.

Is Professional Real Estate Photography Important?

June 13, 2023

Posted by in News

When creating a listing, Realtors have only one chance to make a first impression. Square footage and robust descriptions are key, but to give potential buyers a real sense of the property, photos are a must. But not all photos are created equal. Despite mobile phone cameras being at the fingertips of virtually everyone, they don’t possess the technology to capture a photo the same as a professional camera. In fact, studies have shown that listings with professional photography sold 50% faster and 39% closer to the original listing price than similar homes without professional photography.

 

“A phone camera just cannot create the nuance that a professional camera can,” explains Dan Colley, professional real estate photographer and co-owner of North Florida Real Estate Photography, LLC. “It doesn’t have enough of a wide-angle lens; therefore, it cuts rooms into small portions, and you lose a lot of the dynamic range of light.” Colley and his staff shoot with wide-angle lenses, to capture the maximum pictorial information in the room. His process differs from phone and even traditional photography in his methods. He takes multiple shots of each scene and then blends them into one photo. This helps create a full range of color and light, just as seen by the human eye.

April showered us with a steady flow of real estate activity, especially in the residential arena.   It’s time to recognize our top agents who made it all happen. We asked our best this month to give their pick on the best value of real estate property out there in the northeast Florida market.  Please read on as they share their “Best Buys” for the month.

 

 

 

Our Top Producer is Bonnie Weinstein with $789,900 in closings for the month.

 

 

 

 

Bonnie -Currently,  the best value in Northeast Florida in my opinion are condos with short term rental options.  Many people moving to the area are looking for part time residence “snow birds”.  With the option to rent when they are not there.  The Residence in WGV has 7-day rental options making it one of the best values in WGV.  The Residence is a gated community with many amenities including King and Bear amenities.  The community also overlooks the pristine Slammer & Squire golf course.  

 

 

 

 

Our Top Lister and Top Overall Sales for April is Jennifer Todd with over $1.9 Million in pending sales.

Davidson Realty Welcomes Two New Professional Realtors to Team

May 22, 2023

Posted by in Agent Feature, News

With over 30 years’ of experience, Davidson Realty continues to be the dependable name in real estate in Northeast Florida. And with a full complement of the most talented Realtors around, Davidson is a full-service office ready to guide buyers through the home buying process in Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra, St. Augustine, and throughout St. Johns County. The office is thrilled to announce the addition of two seasoned Realtors, Angela Strauss and Mike Kryachun.

 

Angela Strauss comes to Davidson Realty with more than 25 years’ of experience. She built a solid foundation at the University of Miami, where she earned her Bachelors and MBA. In addition to being a real estate agent in Florida, she is also a real estate broker in California. She has dedicated her career to helping her clients navigate the real estate market, both residential and commercial.

 

 

 

“Two of my great passions in life are home remodeling and gardening,” shares Strauss. “It gives me an edge in the real estate market. I can really look at a property and see its intrinsic value, what it can or can’t be. This is extremely beneficial, whether I’m working with a first-time homebuyer or a client looking to expand their investment portfolio. That’s what I love about being a real estate professional – helping my client find a property that can become their dream home or business.”

 

 

Mike Kryachun’s introduction to the world of real estate was a truly organic process, with all of his previous life experience leading him to Davidson Realty. He was raised with a strong appreciation for foundational skills. His childhood was spent learning all about mechanics from his father. As a young adult, Kryachun went on to hone his skills in framing homes and crafting fine cabinetry, before realizing his talents could best be used in real estate.

 

 

 

“As one of twelve children, I’m used to absorbing a lot of different input all at once,” laughs Kryachun. “I enjoy working with clients to flesh out exactly what their needs are. My background helps me examine a property from a very technical perspective, which in turn means that I can really assist my clients in understanding what they’re looking at and, more importantly, what they can expect.”

 

Davidson Realty was founded in 1989 by Jim and Sherry Davidson. Leaders in the Northeast Florida market, they have a dedicated and professional group of Realtors and support staff to assist clients with their real estate needs.
