amanda ronWe have quite a few “couples” in our Jacksonville, Florida realty office. Now when I refer to couples, I am not just referring to married teams like Pauline and Woody Cake or Carly and Bruce Weddle from Davidson Realty or Elsie and John Evans from Davidson Property Management. We have “couples” made up of new and seasoned agents. To help our new agents, we have a Mentoring Program to offer anyone joining our team a unique experience of one-on-one training. Amanda French shared with me that our new program was one of the reasons why she joined our team.

Amanda French also shared with me that her mentor, Ron Saverese, is very accessible, always available to ask questions and is as invested in her success as she is. “Ron has taken the time to help me with different marketing strategies, paperwork, contracts and listing agreements” says Amanda. Ron joined in the conversation giving Amanda props that she made it easy because of her enthusiasm. Read more

And as we all know, those numbers didn’t just appear out of nowhere. We have some very hard working agents to congratulate!

The Top Lister for the month is Michelle Gonzalez with almost $400,000 in listings sold and over $1.1 million in total sales. Michelle has been on her way to the top since she joined us 4 years ago this month!Lynn-0087

The Top Producer in September is Mrs. Lynn Whitley with over $1.3 million in closings. Lynn was recognized as our Top Sales Agent in August and hasn’t slowed down since!

pcOur Top Sales Agent is Pauline Cake with over $900,000 in buyer sales for September. Pauline was also our Top Sales Agent in June and our Top Producer for the 2nd Quarter. She has done a tremendous job in 2011 and we love watching her succeed.

Northeast Florida Real Estate Trends Remain Positive in August!

13155-Blue-Man-Reaching-For-The-Stars-Clipart-IllustrationThe greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it. – Michelangelo

I chose this quote because it seems as if our recent economic challenge has put many people in survival mode. Survival mode can distract us from our long term goals.  We must not think this way but keep reaching for the stars.

I will share an overview of the market stats provided by the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors starting with Pending Sales. August 2011 pending sales of 1,744 is 24% higher than August 2010 sales of 1,402. There have been some confusing monthly comparisons because of the tax credits last year, but the year to date pending sales for 2011 are 7% higher than year to date pending sales for 2010.

The closings for August 2011 are up 1.5% over the closings in August 2010 and the year to date closings for 2011 are almost the same as 2010. I would like to go a little deeper into closings and share that there were 691 traditional closings in August 2010 and 835 in August 2011 for an increase of 21%. The lender–mediated closings dropped from 729 in August 2010 to 626 in August 2011 for a 14% decrease. This is a very good sign when we have more traditional closings and less distressed closings.

The lender-mediated closings dropped from 44.3% of July 2011 closings to 42.8% of August 2011 closings. We continue to move in the right direction. Read more
