163425_10150400201460385_243700390384_16812505_694884_nFriday night was one of the best awards banquets we have ever had and that’s a bold statement when we have celebrated our past year’s successes in ballrooms at Epping Forest, beautiful buildings like Laterra Links, and probably the best Italian Restaurant in Jacksonville, Giovanni’s. This year we went casual and comfortable just like our work-family’s atmosphere. We celebrated at the St. Augustine Rod & Gun Club with a Vegas themed party and had the time of our lives!167100_10150400202275385_243700390384_16812524_1364446_n

We had a DJ, a Margarita Man machine, 5 casino games, slots, Luli’s Cupcakes, a champagne fountain, coolers of beer and wine, and Moes’ catering. That may sound like a hodgepodge of things and it was, but somehow it was perfect!

Davidson Property Management gave awards to Mirtha Barzaga, Margherite Myers, and for the most tenants – Juana Husted. 164157_10150400220105385_243700390384_16812900_4547253_n

Character Counts in our St. Augustine Golf Course Community

Davidson Appreciates TeachersWoodrow T. Wilson said that “Character is a by-product; it is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.” When I sent my first born off to kindergarten, I thought about how I no longer would be her greatest influence. I knew she would spend more time with her teacher than with her parents. After touring the award winning St. Johns County Schools, we sold our home and moved to our St. Augustine golf course community.

Davidson Realty is launching a new program to thank those who make a difference for our children; teachers. The community is invited to take part. Each quarter, the community will be invited to submit nominations of teachers from specific grades at both Mill Creek and Wards Creek Elementary who most exemplify the “Character Counts” traits.

November Trends in 2010 for the Jacksonville FL Real Estate Market

December 31, 2010

“Progress involves risks. You can’t steal second base and keep your foot on first.” Frederick B. Wilcox

This quote captures exactly how I feel about the real estate industry and our Company right now. I see some positive trends and I am planning to start 2011 ALL OUT which is defined as “using all available means or resources.” If we aren’t going to use our resources now, what are we saving them for? It’s time to round second base.

The positive trends in the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors Market Stats for November, 2010 are as follows:

                                      2010 year to date          2009 year to date            Percent change
Pending sales                       15,890                              14,013                                13.4+
Closed sales                          14,548                              13,143                                 10.7+
Days on Market                   103                                    108                                       4.4-

As you can see, Pending Sales and Closings are up year-to-date and the days on the market are down slightly. 

                                    Median sales price 2010                                  Average sales price 2010
September                          $129,950                                                                      $165,855
October                                $135,575                                                                      $168,857
November                           $140,750                                                                     $187,189 Read more
