First, we covered how to start your career in real estate with a video from Davidson Realty President, Sherry Davidson explaining the cost of getting licensed, how to get licensed, and earning potential in the industry. Now, we want to share why some of our agents chose a real estate career and why they love what they do!

In the video above, you will hear from Maxine Levy, Carly Weddle, Robin Rawald, and Doug Duggan. Every one of our agents has a different reason for what led them to real estate and what makes them so happy doing it. Some of them are new to real estate and some of them are experienced. I think they can all agree that making their own hours is a definite perk of the job!

Real Estate is a great career choice for moms, teachers, recent college graduates, or anyone that is looking to run their own business and be their own boss. If you have any questions about starting your career in real estate please contact Sherry at (904) 940-5000 or SDavidson@DavidsonRealtyInc.Com. We are always looking to add great agents to our team!

We are always looking for new or seasoned agents to join our team of all-stars! Following are the top five reasons pursuing a real estate career with Davidson Realty is rewarding.

bestco_logoWhat can we say?  When you got it, you got it!  Davidson Realty made Florida Trend‘s list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For.  This latest accolade follows on the heels of Davidson being named to the Jacksonville Business Journal‘s lists of the fastest growing companies in north Florida and one of the best places to work.  “These awards validate our company mission which has always been to value people first – before, over and above everything else,” said Sherry Davidson. 

To identify Florida’s best employers, Florida Trend partnered with the Best Companies Group, which surveyed companies about their policies, practices and demographics.  The second part of the process involved a survey sent to a sample group of each company’s employees who responded anonymously to 72 questions.  The survey also included two open-ended questions and seven demographic questions. The questions focused on eight themes: Leadership and planning; corporate culture and communications; role satisfaction; work environment; relationship with supervisor; training and development; pay and benefits; and overall engagement. You can check out more information about Florida Trend’s Best Companies to Work For and see the full list at  http://www.floridatrend.com/best_companies.asp.

Top Davidson Real Estate Agents in July 2011!

August 4, 2011

Posted by in Uncategorized

It’s hard to compete with last month’s numbers, but our Jacksonville Realtors kept the fire going in July! We had over $6.5 million in sales (thanks to 18 different agents) and over $3 million in closings. We are determined to keep those closings flowing in August! Here are our Top Realtors for July:

Mirtha BarzagaMirtha Barzaga remains on top in July as our Top Lister and Top Producer with 6 sales totaling over $1.2 million, over $750,000 in listings sold, and 3 closings in July totaling over $500,000. Mirtha was our Top Lister in June. She not only works every day of the week, but she manages to find time to mentor our new agents. Mirtha was basically the inspiration for our Mentor Program because of her excellent guidance with Davidson agent, Maxine Levy. She takes on new agents and shows them the ropes – everything from how to make a listing presentation to understanding documents at closing. She is also your biggest cheerleader along the way! She juggles real estate, a very large family, mentoring and somehow she makes it seem effortless. That’s probably because she loves what she does so much and boy, does it show! 

suzyThe Top Sales Agent for July is Suzy Evans with 6 sales totaling over $1.6 million. She had over $1.2 million in buyer sales. We are not only celebrating Suzy’s title as Top Sales Agent, but also her 3 year anniversary with Davidson Realty! We are so happy to have such a professional on our team! Suzy was our Top Lister in April, our Top Producer in March, and our Top Sales Agent in January. We know you will continue to see her name at the top. Suzy has it all and there is a lot we could all learn from her.

Congratulations ladies and congratulations to all of our agents for another great month on the books in 2011.
