Posted by in Top Agents

Davidson Realty really has a remarkable team of sales agents and support staff. Each month we like to take the opportunity to recognize a few of them. This month, we’d like to congratulate Jock Ochiltree for selling the most homes in September. Although this is a wonderful claim to fame, one of Jock’s other notable accomplishments is playing golf on over 400 courses in 14 countries.

Davidson Realty’s top producer in September was Doug Duggan with over $1.3 million in volume. We must give an honorable mention in this category to Beverly Morse who was a very close second with $1,278,500 in volume.

Finally, the top lister for the month was Lyn Sappington. And she has played almost as many golf courses as Jock, including Ballybunion, Old Course and Pebble Beach. Read more

DSCN0205Karen Palmer and I just returned from Atlanta, GA (my hometown) where we attended the Buffini & Company Turning Point Retreat. Brian Buffini is always a dynamic and entertaining speaker but he was very passionate about his message in this presentation.

Brian began the morning by discussing perspective. The economy and the real estate market are cyclical but when we are in a downturn like we have been for quite some time, it feels like it will last forever. We went through the history of the United States to reinforce that this too shall pass. The real estate market will rebound like it has every time before.

We looked at the National Association of Realtors statistics to understand how many Realtors have left our profession. Many of the Realtors with less experience and knowledge are no longer selling real estate, which only supports the fact that it is in your best interest to work with seasoned real estate professionals.

DSCN0177I recently challenged my colleagues at Davidson Realty to join me in a project for RAMP IT UP – a Northeast Florida Association of Realtors’ (NEFAR) signature project  in conjunction with The Housing Partnership of Northeast Florida to build wheelchair ramps for disabled members of our community that are confined to a wheelchair.  I was thrilled that 11 of our office associates, including owners Jim and Sherry Davidson, decided to join me at 8:30 on a crisp morning on the north side of Jacksonville to build the largest ramp of the year for the partnership.

Most of us started the day by learning the proper way to use a speed square, to measuring and cutting the wood boards on the table saw with perfection.  Throughout the 8 hour project, I enjoyed the team work and the camaraderie Read more
