Davidson Realty Welcomes New Agents Jessie Forga and Jane Dulisse to Team of Experts

March 28, 2023

 | 

Davidson Realty is proud to welcome new faces to its team of real estate experts. “At Davidson Realty, we are passionate about serving people above everything else. Our commitment to serving both in real estate and the community sets us apart,” shares Davidson Realty President, Sherry Davidson. Davidson Realty is delighted to introduce two new members to the family!

 

 

Jessie Forga

Minnesota native, Jessie Forga has resided in St. Augustine, Florida since 2018. With a passion for serving the area, Jessie is ready to help with your home buying and selling needs. As a proud member of Davidson Realty, Jessie carries the values of hard work, integrity, and outstanding client service into everything she does.

 

When Jessie isn’t making homeownership dreams come true for her clients, she enjoys spending time watching her two children play sports or exploring the area with her family. Her daughter, Ainsley, plays softball and does weightlifting while her son, Lachlan, plays on his school baseball team and on a travel team.

 

Jane Dulisse

Jane Dulisse was born in Burlington, Wisconsin, and grew up on an agricultural farm surrounded by dairies and vast amounts of open land. This was instrumental in developing her strong and determined work ethic that she touts to this day.

 

Upon graduating, a move to California was imminent, as she wanted to be a part of big city life and the new up-and-coming boom of business that was happening there.

 

Jane started her career in the mid-1980s selling and listing residential properties in the San Jose, California area. Starting her business on the west coast opened her eyes to a whole new knowledge of real estate in the fast-paced life in California.

 

Several years went by, business was exceptional, and homesickness set in. You can’t take the country out of the country girl, sooo..

 

After moving back to Wisconsin, she acquired her new real estate license. Over the next twenty years, Jane expanded her real estate knowledge to include commercial, business, and vacant land transactions, in addition to the residential market.

 

As time marched on, another move brought Jane to St. Augustine, Florida. Loving real estate she could not resist acquiring her Florida Sales Associate License.

 

Jane is very committed to community involvement in her area. At the World of Golf Cascades community center, she is part of the events committee, beautification club, and assists in the pottery and ceramics studio.

 

Currently, Jane and her husband live in World of Golf Villages and love the idea that they will never shovel snow from their driveway or sidewalk again. They also love knowing that they can golf, go to the beach, and enjoy outdoor activities year-round without wearing a parka. Florida is truly a great place to live, work, and play.

 

Jane enjoys working with clients to help them find the perfect home, business, commercial building, or parcel of land to build the dream house they’ve always wanted.

 

Davidson Realty has the perfect tools needed for her to list, market, and sell your property with as little disruption to your life as possible. Jane looks forward to meeting and working with you. Your satisfaction is our main concern and what we strive for.

Fantastic Finish – Davidson Realty 2022 Awards

February 24, 2023

 | 

Each year, the Davidson Realty family feels a renewed sense of gratitude for the Northeast Florida community and each other. In addition to providing expert real expert services to the Northeast Florida community, Davidson Realty held more than thirty charitable and customer appreciation events in 2022, including the Davidson Cares Clay Day event which raised more than $100,000 for local organizations. The 2022 Davidson Realty calendar stayed full with more than twenty-eight training sessions, twenty-six sales meetings, eighteen bible studies, twelve birthday celebrations, and ten pizza and notes sessions. Davidson Realty also proudly welcomed ten new agents to the brokerage. 

 

The annual Davidson Realty Awards Banquet is a special night dedicated to celebrating and reflecting on all that was achieved in the past year. This year, Davidson Realty agents and staff voted for a banquet theme of “Party Through the Decades” and everyone was inspired to dress up accordingly for the occasion. The Tringali Barn in St. Augustine, Florida was decorated with centerpieces and party favors from the 20s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, including lifesize Rubix Cubes and old-fashion car cut outs. The party featured a popcorn and candy bar, build your own root beer float station, Italian food and desserts, and a custom decades cake from Cinottis. A big thank you to the awards committee: Andrea Gallagher, Matt Burkhart, and Mirtha Barzaga who spent months creatively planning. On the day of the event, the committee had additional help and support from Liz Pappaceno and Andrea’s parents (Mike and Mary DelPrete). It gives us great pleasure to acknowledge the hardworking agents and their accomplishments in 2022.

Davidson Realty: Spreading Good Cheer in Northeast Florida

December 22, 2022

 | 

Since 1989, Davidson Realty has been proud to deliver expert real estate services to Northeast Florida. The same compassion and commitment given to clients for their real estate needs is also given to the greater community. Davidson Realty has created a thriving culture focused on serving all of Jacksonville and St. Augustine. 

 

During this giving season, Davidson Realty agents have been hard at work to spread good cheer to their Northeast Florida neighbors. “Our agents are true servant leaders. They have a genuine passion for helping those in need and, at Davidson Realty, we celebrate that joy for giving,” shares Davidson Realty President, Sherry Davidson. 

 

For the last eleven years, veteran agent Mirtha Barzaga, has held two food and toy drives to benefit the Homeless Coalition, an organization that provides clothes, food, and other supplies for the homeless. Mirtha calls upon her fellow Heritage Landing residents to help her support this worthy cause during her Thanksgiving drive and her many friends in The King & Bear for her Christmas drive. Several of her family members from South Florida come to support her efforts to bring joy to those less fortunate. 

 

Similarly, agents Liz Pappaceno and Reba Barkley also enjoy giving back to the Homeless Coalition. Liz held several food and toy drives this season in Sevilla while Reba held her drive in Austin Park. Both Liz and Reba were overwhelmed by the generosity in the Northeast Florida community and are constantly taking advantage of opportunities to do good in the community and that spirit is contagious. 

 

The joy of giving back to the community is a sentiment shared with all Davidson team members. Caitlyn Hawkins had a busy season of giving this year! Caitlyn organized and donated snack packs and food to the Beaches Mission House and BEAM Food Banks and donated toys and books to the local Foster Closet. Additionally, Caitlyn has spent time cleaning waterways and participating in beach clean ups throughout the year both with various organizations and independently. 

 

Stacy Cornell volunteered her time and was a sponsor for the Belles and Beaus of the River Society event this December. “I was proud to sponsor three families in need by collecting items from an angel tree and presenting those items to each of the families at the conclusion of the event. This event is a highlight in my year and so well done with various activity stations, hot chocolate station, snow machine, a movie, and letters and pictures with Santa,” shares Cornell. 

 

Doing good together is always a joy! This year, Reba Barkely, Candy Gil, Rebecca Schaffer, Jeanne Denton-Scheck, and Margherite Myers volunteered at the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors (NEFAR) Hunger Fight Pack-a-Thon event. These Davidson agents joined hundreds of fellow NEFAR members to provide 75,000 meals for hungry children, families, and seniors in Northeast Florida. 

 

“At Davidson Realty, we are incredibly proud of our team and their various philanthropic endeavors,” shares Davidson. “Ultimately, we are grateful for the continued support from the community and, as a team, we hope to show our appreciation by continuing to give back and help our community be an even better place to live.”

 | 

Davidson Realty is proud to welcome two new faces to its team of experts. “At Davidson Realty, putting people first is our top priority and we give our agents the tools to do just that! Our Northeast Florida real estate experts ensure each client gets a personalized experience from start to finish,” shares Davidson Realty President, Sherry Davidson. Davidson Realty is delighted to introduce two new members to the family!

 

 

Sean Nolan

Sean Nolan and his wife, Erin, relocated from Colorado to St. Augustine, Florida in 2017. Immediately upon their arrival, they fell in love with all the wonderful things Northeast Florida has to offer as it is truly a great place to live, work, and play. After twenty successful years in the restaurant and hospitality industry, Sean takes pride in his ability to provide memorable customer experiences. Sean’s professionalism and attention to detail are key qualities that matter in real estate. Whether you are searching for a rental, first home, dream home, or investment property, Sean promises dedication to your unique needs. As a proud member of the Davidson Realty family, Sean carries the values of hard work, integrity, and outstanding client service into everything he does. Sean welcomes the opportunity to partner with you through your real estate journey.

 

Chris Thompson

Originally from Long Island, New York, Chris Thompson, and his wife Jane, currently reside in World Golf Village. Chris is an active member of the St. Augustine community and sits on the board of a local charitable organization, is involved with his parish church, and is a member of the Knights of Columbus. He enjoys golf, rollerblading, and is an avid hockey fan.

Chris has always believed that service to clients and customers is the cornerstone of successful business relationships. He feels this is especially true in real estate, where buyers and sellers make very emotional decisions and often look for guidance from a trusted advisor. “Buying and selling a home can be a very stressful undertaking, and being able to eliminate that stress and provide both parties with a happy result is what being a Realtor is all about,” shares Thompson.
