Since Davidson Realty recently listed ICI Homes’ properties in Palencia, I decided to pop my head into Don Wilford’s office and say hi. Don is a third generation builder who started with ICI Homes as a construction manager over 30 years ago. He worked his way up to ICI’s North Florida Division President. Needless to say, he has experienced many changes in the real estate market over the years. He has seen it up and he has seen it down…so I value his opinion on the state of the market!
When I asked Don how he was feeling about the market, he shared he believes new construction prices have bottomed out and are starting to go up slightly. He said new construction will not go lower and he predicts that construction costs will rise at least 10% by the end of 2010. Many consumers must agree because there has been an increase in sales activity. ICI sold 10 homes in January – and six of them were new builds with an average price of $500,000. This means ICI sold more new builds in January 2010 than they did in all of 2009! (more…)
This month, we get to recognize our top real estate agents for December…and for the 4th quarter of 2009 - not to mention a special recognition for our top employee of the quarter – Cindy Vaughn (far right) - too!
For December, Lyn Sappington (4th from left) took top sales honors with $1.6 million in transactions for the month. Lyn is known for selling homes throughout Northeast Florida – from Amelia to Palm Coast. Jock Ochitree (not pictured) was our top producer with $1.4 million in closings. His specialty is homes in golf course communities. Pauline Cake (far left with real estate partner/husband Woody Cake) – who specializes in selling The Neighborhoods of World Golf Village - won top lister with just under $400,000 in listings sold. An honorable mention goes to Mirtha Barzaga, who had seven transactions during the month! (more…)

It’s time to recognize the best of the best again! Davidson Realty would like to congratulate Lyn Sappington for being Top Lister and Top Sales for the company in November. Lyn had $1.5 million in total volume. She led the month with the three sales for a total of $827,500 and with listings of $649,000. Lyn is frequently in the Tops for Davidson. I suppose her competitive side helps keep her there, just like it keeps her excelling in golf. In fact, Lyn is so addicted to golf that when she was single and looking for a husband, her first qualifying question was, “What is your handicap?” Hence, she is now happily married to an incredible golfer!

We are pleased to announce Davidson Realty’s top producers for October 2009. Winning for top sales and top listings, with a combined production of over $1,609,000, is Suzy Evans. Suzy joined Davidson in August of 2008 and has been an integral part of our team ever since! Just last month, Suzy organized a Davidson team to participate in the “Ramp It Up” program. She enlisted the help of 11 Davidson agents and staff to build a wheelchair ramp for a disabled member of our community. Her sparkling personality and positive attitude make her a joy to have on our team!
The top producer for the month was Pauline Cake. Pauline has been on the Davidson team at World Golf Village since May of 2002, but has worked at the Village since 1997. This makes her an original! Pauline, and her husband, Woody who works with her, live in The Neighborhoods of World Golf Village with their two beautiful boys. She really does know the community inside and out! We really are happy to have two such outstanding Realtors on our team – congratulations to them both!
