We are so proud to announce that four of our St. Augustine Realtors have been named FIVE STAR Real Estate Agents by Florida Homebuyer Jacksonville magazine for 2010! Over 19,000 recent homebuyers in Jacksonville and 250 mortgage and title companies were surveyed and asked to evaluate real estate agents based on nine criteria: customer service, market knowledge, closing preparation, communication, integrity, marketing of the home, finding the right home, negotiation, and overall satisfaction. And, with this very rigorous research process, our agents came out on top! We couldn’t be happier for Pauline Cake, Juana Husted, Dottie Lay, and Michelle Gonzalez!

pcThis is Pauline’s 5th time being honored as a FIVE STAR Agent! Her customer service cannot be beat, which everyone who has worked with her knows. She has been helping people find their perfect home with Davidson Realty since 2001.Juana Husted

Juana has been named a FIVE STAR Agent three times now!  Due to her technical background, she is very good with details and always goes the extra mile for her customers.

dottieDottie is a four time FIVE STAR Agent now!  Dottie was born and raised in Jacksonville Beach, so she is very familiar with all of Jacksonville FL real estate and is happy to help you find your dream home!michelle g

This is the first of many times Michelle will be named a FIVE STAR Agent! Michelle has had a great year and we know we will see even more from her in 2011!

Less than 7% of actively licensed agents in the Jacksonville area made the FIVE STAR Agent list, so we are very proud to have four of them be part of The Davidson Team. All four of these women are Certified Distressed Property Experts, which means they are extremely knowledgeable in Short Sales and Foreclosure prevention. Please contact them or any of our great Realtors if you have real estate related questions or need help buying or selling your home.

Davidson Team Marches for Babies – WE DID IT!

November 10, 2010

IMG_5292Looking back at my weekend, I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed my Saturday. My husband, daughters and I jumped out of bed at 6 a.m. For the past three years, I have helped the March of Dimes raise money for the March for Babies in the annual fundraiser walk. We start off at the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind. What a beautiful place! It is located on the Intracoastal Waterways. GORGEOUS!!!!!

Arriving at 8 a.m. it wasn’t too early for fabulous cupcakes from Lulu’s and donuts from Dunkins! As we got our coffee on, we could feel the energy in the air, not only from my teammates but from the many other teams that surrounded us.  Joy Purdy, a new mother herself, was the MC.  She sure did know how to get us warmed up. As I was eating my (first) donut, Joy got the party going with the Cha Cha Slide. Although I didn’t participate, my eldest daughter, Audrey, was not afraid to get her groove on! Read more

2805617692_d4a3c90855_oMaybe we’re a little eager to kiss 2010 goodbye, but who can blame us when there’s delicious vino involved. We’re wrapping up our 2010 Davidson Speaker Series with a wine tasting conducted by Tim’s Wine Market of St. Augustine. The tasting is November 11th at 7 p.m. at the Davidson Realty building. Cost is $10 per person and RSVPs are due by this Monday, November 8th to Peyton at 904-940-5000. Space is limited and filling up fast. (Apparently, we’re not the only ones itching to sip wine and toast to a new year!) Michael from Tim’s Wine Market will surprise us with five different wine selections for us to sip, contemplate and taste again. We’ll toast to health, family & friends, prosperity and, of course, a better 2011!

The Davidson Speaker Series was started by our very own Sherry Davidson, President of Davidson Realty, Inc., so that local professionals could share their expertise with the community. It’s been a very successful series that will continue with new seminars in 2011. Thank you to all who participated in 2010, both speakers and attendees! We hope you’ll join us next week to share a glass of wine.

Our Jacksonville Realtors took on October with a BANG! We had over $7.2 million in total sales for the month with the closings right behind at $5 million. Seventeen of our Realtors participated in the sales for the month – now that is team work! Here’s hoping November follows suit!

dottieCongratulations to our top Sales Agent this month – Mrs. Dottie Lay! Dottie had over $1.6 million in sales for October and she’s got those closings lined up for November. If you’ve been keeping up with our Tops blogs, you might remember seeing Dottie’s name as our Top Sales Agent for September AND for the 3rd Quarter. Way to go Dottie! We are very proud of you.Mirtha Barzaga

The Top Listing Agent for October is Mirtha Barzaga with over $600,000 in listings sold and nearly $700,000 in total sales!  Mirtha’s name should also sound familiar, considering she was our Top Producer in August and our Top Sales Agent in July. She is our little fire cracker and we love her! Congratulations Mirtha.

suzyAnd, of course, Suzy Evans made our top’s list for October! Suzy is our Top Producer this month with almost $770,000 in closings. Suzy was also our Top Lister and Top Producer for September AND the 3rd Quarter. Suzy has basically been on the top’s list every month in 2010. She was the Top Lister for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Quarters this year and the Top Producer for the 2nd and 3rd Quarters. I have a good feeling that we will see her name again when the numbers come out for the 4th Quarter. Great job, Suzy!

Congratulations to these outstanding women for going above and beyond in October!
