1242349009Well, the time has certainly come for me to stop smoking.  If any of you are smokers, or have smoked and quit, you know what experts we are at stopping smoking….until the next cigarette.  I did stop for 8 years and being very stupid started up again, believe me it wasn’t hard to start even after 8 years.  Many years ago, there was a newspaper campaign to stop smoking with one of the editors.  He would post every day in the newspaper how it went that day without smoking.  It was really a very big success and a lot of people quit smoking with him.

So, I’m quitting smoking on February 14th – what better day? I will be posting on my Facebook daily about the days events, any tips that worked that day to help, etc.  If any of you would like to join me in quitting please friend me on Facebook and I believe we can do this together. It might just be fun. Ok, maybe not fun…but better than trying to do it by yourself. I have a great support system with my family and friends and all of the Davidson Companies.  Quite a few of the agents who presently smoke are joining me in quitting on February 14th.  I feel that being given the support and encouragement is going to help all of us a lot.

If you would like to email me at eevans@davidsonpropertymanagement.com, call me (484-2170), or stop into the Davidson Realty office, you can sign up to join this new challenge.  I would love to have anyone that would like to take a minute, to offer support, encouragement, ideas whether you smoke now, have quit smoking, or have never smoked to join along with us in this effort.

QR_Code_Ponte_VedraIf you’re a techie, you’re probably already scanning QR codes on your iPhone or Andriod. But if you’re like most people, you have no idea what language we’re speaking!  Well, you’re about to be in-the-know.  A QR (stands for Quick Response) code is a bar code that can be read by smart phones to deliver digital files like photos, video, music and text to your phone.  You must download a QR reader on your phone and then it’s ready to “scan” QR codes and get rich-format info on the go.  As early adopters of new technology, Davidson Realty is adding QR codes to our home sales sheets so you can view a video tour, for example, right from your phone.  We’ve included a code here to try out.  It features photos, price and information about a home on the market in Ponte Vedra. First, remember to download a QR reader for your smart phone (there are several free apps to choose from), then scan this code.  Now, pat yourself on the back for being a cool tech geek and watch for more QRs from Davidson.

20101011180416613977000000Last week, Woody Cake (one of my Jacksonville Realtors) and I took a trip down to Daytona Beach to check up on our listing – a beautiful building of 10 retail spaces on the first floor and 12 residential condominiums above. As we were walking around, I started thinking about writing a blog to get the word out on this spectacular piece of property. I thought people HAVE to see this place!

It’s in a great re-development area of Daytona Beach, on South Beach Street, with views of the Halifax River and a peaceful park right across the street. There’s a public library a short way down the road and a marina. You can see Jackie Robinson Ballpark, which is a huge deal for me because many of you know I’m a baseball fanatic! This area is very active and all of these places will definitely generate traffic for the retail in the building. Read more

Master Plan to Enhance The National Shooting Complex Facilities for the 40,000 NSSA Members

October 28, 2010

 | 

rickEveryone knows not to mess with Texas. Yet, Jim Davidson and I never shy away from a good challenge. Case in point, we have been providing pro-bono planning and design expertise for the National Shooting Complex (NSC) located in Bexar County, San Antonio, Texas for the past few years. The 671 acre site is the home of the National Skeet Shooting Association (NSSA, founded 1928) and the National Sporting Clays Association (NSCA, founded 1989). The NSC hosts the shooting-sports’ most prestigious annual competitions, including the NSCA National Championships and the World Skeet Championships (World Shoot), celebrating their 75th anniversary Shoot at the October, 2010 event.

The NSC-held competitions are supported by all of the major national and international firearms and shooting equipment manufacturers, who typically are on-site for the Shoots, offering merchandise, repair, instruction and expert advice and recommendations. The World Shoots draw competitors from many countries around the world, including Australia, South Africa, England, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Spain and Argentina. Any given Shoot can have thousands of competitors, spectators and sporting aficionados all in attendance.

Jim and his wife and partner, Sherry Davidson, are both competitive shooters and life members of the NSSA. Jim was recruited in 2007 by the NSC Long Range Planning Committee, directed by Ms. Louise K. Terry, past president of the NSSA. Jim was asked to provide counsel when they were contemplating a land purchase offer that would have required them to move. Subsequently, another offer was made to the NSC to locate the American headquarters of a German gun maker on the property. In the fall of 2009, Jim and I visited the NSC to fully examine those proposals and to illustrate the opportunities afforded the NSC, the NSSA and the NSCA should they decide to stay put and continue operating on their well-located and beautiful property.
