May 9, 2014

As many of you know, Davidson Realty President Sherry Davidson is a baseball fanatic (Go Braves!), so every year we have a baseball-inspired contest, which she “umpires”. The contest lasts thirty days and the agents are split into four teams, each with managers, listing coaches and closing coaches to encourage and help them through the month. The agents earn points based on attending sales meetings, listing a property, selling a property, winning the week (a Buffini & Company activity that helps them keep in touch with customers), closing a property, etc. Read more
