Jim Davidson’s Annual Clay Day is coming up October 19th. We renamed our Davidson Cares shoot this year to honor Jim. Through your amazing generosity, we have already raised over $25,000 in contributions in Jim’s memory. Last year the shoot raised $101,000 so this year our donations to Jim’s favorite charities are going to be big.

We have almost sold out of teams, but if you want to participate, please go to DavidsonCares.com and buy a raffle ticket or donate. We have our cooler and cocktail raffle, the shotgun, and this year we have added a $1,000 gift certificate to the Ponte Vedra Spa. Be a part of the donations to our amazing local charities.

The Northeast Florida Association of Realtors (NEFAR) market stats for August show the median sales price of $357,000 has been stable for the last 4 months. It has only moved up or down slightly in the last few months.

The Best Rooftop Bars in Northeast Florida

September 19, 2023

Posted by in News

One of the true joys of living in Florida is the beautiful scenery we see each and every day. Northeast Florida is home to some of the best bars and restaurants that offer breathtaking views from above – skyline-baring rooftops.

 

Hoptinger Bier Garden and Sausage House in the Five Points neighborhood is a haven for what they have lovingly termed “Barverican” cuisine. With over 60 beers on tap and a full bar, they offer many fun events in their rooftop space. From sports to brats and local bands to the best darn pretzel around, Hoptinger is always up for a good time!

 

 

 

River and Fort Restaurant and Rooftop Lounge is one of downtown St. Augustine’s newer restaurants, but it’s already a staple in the historic city. With an expansive rooftop overlooking the Matanzas River and the city skyline, this experience should not be missed. Their menu features seafood and steaks with a distinctly Southern flair. Their bar has signature cocktails that showcase the region’s up-and-coming distilleries, a delicious selection of wines and non-alcoholic options.

Congratulations to our TOP Producers in August!

September 18, 2023

 | 

In the scorching heat of August, our top sales agents have once again proven their unwavering commitment to excellence. Their remarkable dedication and exceptional performance have set a blazing trail for us all to follow.  This month we asked them to share what is the toughest thing about being in real estate or the toughest thing they have had to overcome in their real estate business.  Read on they share their stories…

 

 

 

Our Top Producer for August is Rebecca Schaffer with $627,975 in closings for the month.

 

 

 

 

 

Rebecca – One of the biggest challenges I have as a realtor is making time for lead generation.  I know it is a critical function of a realtor’s job however,  a realtor encounters many unexpected things on a daily basis.  Trying to manage and schedule showings, inspections, appraisals, floor time, research for buyers and closings as well as take care of the needs of your customers is a difficult time management task.  Many of my customers are from out of state, that means I am effectively their personal assistant when it comes to all things on the property they are purchasing.  I enjoy helping my customers and take pride in serving them well, so I tend to prioritize the customer service aspect of my realtor role over lead generation.

 

 

 

 

Our Top Producing Team in Closings and Sales for the month is the Nemethy Group with Shelley and Tim Nemethy.  They had $635,000 in closings and $555,000 in pending sales.

 

 

 

 

Shelley & Tim – “With historically low home inventory levels and multiple offer situations, The Nemethy Group overcame what initially appeared to be a challenging market for Realtors and Buyers in 2021 and 2022.  We successfully met these challenges head on by creatively structuring offers for our Buyers to WIN contracts at a high percentage in their favor.
