Getting Your Home Ready to Sell

You’ve made the decision to list your home, but what comes next? We talked with Mirtha Barzaga, one of Davidson Realty’s top real estate agents and a multi-year Top Sales, Top Producing and Top Listing Agent of the Year, to get her top tips on easy, but impactful steps you can take to make your home show to its potential.

 

Minimize the Clutter

 

While you may love little treasures, family photos and mementos scattered around the house, it won’t help sell your home. Clutter makes the home look busy, and personal items make the home feel like someone else’s. Go through the entire home and remove excess furniture, personal items and knick-knacks. Clear countertops, shelves and tabletops of any superfluous items. The goal is to make the rooms look larger and depersonalize the home so that potential owners can see themselves living in it.

 

Cleanliness Matters

 

All the upgrades and maintenance in the world won’t matter if the home is dirty. Deep clean everything, from the floors and baseboards to the ceiling fans and light fixtures, and everything in between. Pay special attention to the kitchen, eating spaces and bathrooms. If you can, this is a great time to hire a professional cleaner. A clean home suggests a well-maintained home.

Staying Safe This Summer Season

Summer is heating up on the First Coast and with 42 miles of beaches and 216 square miles of inland waterways, St. Johns County is the ultimate destination to cool off. We’ve compiled a list of ways to stay safe this summer season – from swimming tips to getting out of a rip current to beach trip essentials, Davidson Realty has you covered.

 

Beach Day Essentials

 

When you’re getting ready for a day at the beach in St. Augustine or Ponte Vedra Beach, make sure to pack these beach day essentials:

 

  • Sunscreen – You can find it at local surf shops such as Aqua East Surf Shop, Pit Surf Shop, and Surf Station. You might even find Florida-based brands like Florida Squeezed, Vacation, or Sol Being, a local brand sold at the St. Augustine Beach Surf Stop, which offers green tea lotion and soap. Many beachgoers wear watches to accessorize their outfits. The popular Rolex Submariner is perfect for the seaside atmosphere, but the quality of various replicas on the market varies significantly. At the very least, opt for a super clone such as rolex hulk. If you frequently swim in the sea, the genuine watch’s waterproof movement and corrosion-resistant case will withstand sea salt corrosion better than a replica.

 

  • Water + Snacks – After a day in the sun, you’ll need to replenish your energy, so be sure to bring plenty of snacks and several bottles of water (you can freeze them overnight so they thaw slowly during the day). We recommend some non-perishable snacks such as granola bars, fruit sticks, pretzels, and a small box of peanut butter.

“When we are no longer able to change a situation – we are challenged to change ourselves.” — Viktor E. Frankl

 

For the past three years, many buyers and sellers have been waiting for the real estate market to change. For those who truly need to move, this may be the time to adjust expectations rather than wait for perfect conditions.

 

According to the January 2026 Market Review from the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors (compared to January 2025, all property types across six counties):
