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! Our St. Augustine Realtors alone sold five homesites and six new construction homes in the month of January. It’s great to know new construction is happening again and there are new neighbors on the way!
The Top Lister of the month is Jennifer Todd with $385,000 in listings sold. 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!
The 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!
Our 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! Jock is our resident golf expert and would be happy to share his expertise on Jacksonville golf course communities with you.
In December, Davidson Realty agent Maxine Levy took us on a video tour of Samara Lakes, a charming neighborhood a stone’s throw away from World Golf Village. Now, it’s time to take a look inside one of the gorgeous waterfront homes this community has to offer. Maxine not only sells Samara Lakes, she also lives there, so who better to show us around!

We are extremely excited to get the 4th Quarter of the Davidson Appreciates Teachers campaign under way! And, this time we are showing appreciation for our resource teachers at Wards Creek Elementary and Mill Creek Elementary Schools. We hope parents, students, teachers and staff will jump at the chance to show these special teachers how much they are needed and appreciated.
Starting Monday, January 30th through February 13th we will be collecting nominations for all the resource teachers including PE, Guidance Counselors, Art, Media Specialists, Music, Computer and Spanish. Our top-ranked St. Johns County school system has some of the best resource teachers in the state of Florida and we want to make sure they get the recognition they deserve. All you need to do is email Peyton at PDavidson@DavidsonRealtyInc.Com or give her a call at (904) 940-5000 and let her know who you would like to nominate. Tell us why you think your favorite Wards Creek Elementary or Mill Creek Elementary resource teacher deserves to be recognized. Voting will kick off on the Davidson Realty Facebook Page on February 15th and go until March 15th. Your winner will be announced on March 20th right before Spring Break!
We had an incredible time eating, drinking and socializing around the world at this year’s awards banquet. From America to Germany, Italy to France, Japan and Asia, and back around to the Caribbean, we had a blast enjoying delicious authentic cuisine thanks to Chef Andre and Past Time Café & Catering, trying the local spirits of the region and even donning some fun accessories.
President of Davidson Realty Sherry Davidson started the evening with a reminder that our company goal written in 2005 still holds true in 2012 – “That the Davidson Companies are the best that we can be. We don’t want to be the biggest real estate company, but we aim to be the best in our geographic area in customer service. We want every person that calls our development or realty office to be treated with respect. We hope their experience with Davidson leaves them thinking we are professional, honest, caring and helpful. And we hope they refer someone they know to call Davidson!”
Then Sherry presented the 2011 awards! Thank you to Beverly Morse, Elsie Evans, Shirley Barber, Matt Davidson, Ted Tyndall, and Jock Ochiltree for their 5 years of service with the Davidson Companies. Mirtha Barzaga and Sharon King took home the “Values People First Awards” for always supporting, congratulating, problem solving, and motivating with a smile on their faces. (more…)
