Voting came to a close for the 4th Quarter of the Davidson Appreciates Teachers Contest on March 15th and once again we saw an outpouring of support for our amazing St. Johns County teachers! This time around, we celebrated our fantastic resource teachers at Mill Creek and Wards Creek Elementary School. Even though they are all winners, Ms. Dowdie and Ms. Rose came out on top.
We surprised Mill Creek Elementary School Computer Teacher, Ms. Dowdie on the school news show early Monday morning. Unfortunately, Wards Creek Elementary School’s Music Teacher, Ms. Rose is out town, but she has a wonderful basket of goodies waiting on her when she returns! (more…)
This is my mother’s simple recipe and a favorite meal for many on St. Patrick’s Day.
Red Potatoes – unpeeled – 2 per person
Green Cabbage – Cut in quarters – 1 quarter per person
Whole Yellow Onions – 2 per person
Put corned beef and packaged juice in water with 2 bay leaves. Add 1 teaspoon of garlic, a teaspoon of vinegar, black pepper, and 3 medium whole onions. Boil meat 2 hours until real tender (at this point, check spices, i.e. salt, pepper and garlic). You may have to add water as the mixture boils down. Take meat out, put in potatoes one hour before serving. You may want to add additional whole onions (I do). Add cabbage 20 minutes before serving. Put all in and heat to serve.
I knew 1305 Cunningham Creek Drive was a special home from the moment I laid eyes on it! The wide circular paver driveway and welcoming red front door greet you on arrival. Once inside this spacious 3,496-square-foot home, the show stopper is the kitchen! It truly is a cook’s dream kitchen with upscale 42 inch cherry cabinets with additional cabinets above them all the way up to the high ceiling, custom refrigerator to match the cabinets, stovetop pot filler and gas stove, granite countertops and generous kitchen island.
But what really sets this residence apart and makes it an enviable spot to call home is its waterfront location.

The St. Johns River is ideal for boating, fishing, canoeing and kayaking. With perfect North Florida weather almost year round, you will take advantage of the outdoors more than you think! (more…)

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:
Our 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!
The 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!
Our 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!
