Summer has come to an end and so has the month of September and the Third Quarter of 2023.  We could not let it pass without recognizing our Top Producing Agents.  Once again, they have been hard at work helping customers navigate the ever-changing real estate market.

 

We are so proud of all their accomplishments!  Thanks to one of our readers for this month’s question seeking our TOPS advice: In your professional opinion what are the pros & cons of the rapid influx of people moving to our area in Northeast Florida?  How do you see this positively and/or negatively impacting our area in the future?

 

 

 

Our Top Producer for September is Bonnie Weinstein with over $2.2 Million is closings.

 

 

 

 

Bonnie – Northeast Florida is a rapidly expanding area.  With this comes Pros and Cons.  The impact of a rapid population influx depends on many factors, including how local authorities manage growth and development.  With proper planning and investment in infrastructure, education, and development, the area can see many benefits of the growing population, such as, economic growth, higher real estate and job opportunities.  Northeast Floridia has the resources to keep ahead of the negative impacts of this influx.  Many roadway extensions are in place, affordable housing is being added to help with the high cost of real estate.  There are also many new schools and hospitals being built. With continued planning and development, I see Northeast Florida with its pristine beaches, weather, and opportunity one of the best places in the country to call home! 

 

 

 

 

Our Top Producer and Top Buyer Sales for the 3rd Quarter is Reba Barkley with over $3.7 Million in closings and $1.4 Million in pending Sales.

Congratulations to our TOP Producers in August!

In the scorching heat of August, our top sales agents have once again proven their unwavering commitment to excellence. Their remarkable dedication and exceptional performance have set a blazing trail for us all to follow.  This month we asked them to share what is the toughest thing about being in real estate or the toughest thing they have had to overcome in their real estate business.  Read on they share their stories…

 

 

 

Our Top Producer for August is Rebecca Schaffer with $627,975 in closings for the month.

 

 

 

 

 

Rebecca – One of the biggest challenges I have as a realtor is making time for lead generation.  I know it is a critical function of a realtor’s job however,  a realtor encounters many unexpected things on a daily basis.  Trying to manage and schedule showings, inspections, appraisals, floor time, research for buyers and closings as well as take care of the needs of your customers is a difficult time management task.  Many of my customers are from out of state, that means I am effectively their personal assistant when it comes to all things on the property they are purchasing.  I enjoy helping my customers and take pride in serving them well, so I tend to prioritize the customer service aspect of my realtor role over lead generation.

 

 

 

 

Our Top Producing Team in Closings and Sales for the month is the Nemethy Group with Shelley and Tim Nemethy.  They had $635,000 in closings and $555,000 in pending sales.

 

 

 

 

Shelley & Tim – “With historically low home inventory levels and multiple offer situations, The Nemethy Group overcame what initially appeared to be a challenging market for Realtors and Buyers in 2021 and 2022.  We successfully met these challenges head on by creatively structuring offers for our Buyers to WIN contracts at a high percentage in their favor.

Congratulations to our TOP Producers in July!

As the summer heat rises, so does the success of our top sales agents, and we’re here to celebrate their achievements and share their insight.  This month we asked them what are they most excited to see being developed or “coming soon” in Northeast Florida?

 

 

 

 

 

Our Top Producer for July is Reba Barkley with over $1.8 million in closings for the month.

 

 

 

 

Reba – I’m excited about the new Jaguars complex. I’ve always wished Jacksonville had a vibrant downtown, like other major cities, that would enhance our city’s image as a “top destination” for visitors. This complex is a step in that direction!

Positive impacts of the complex include increased tourism to Northeast Florida, enhanced fan experiences, revenue through events, potentially local development, and job opportunities.  

 

Building a sense of community pride is essential. What a great location to provide residents and visitors with access to community events,  activities, and opportunities to experience the Jaguars “up close” at a new state-of-the-art facility. 

 

These draws could collectively contribute to a positive impact on the local community, tourism, business environment, and real estate market in Jacksonville.

 

 

 

 

Our Top Lister for the month is Mirtha Barzaga with over $1.7 million in closings and $440,000 in pending listing sales.

Sponsor a Child, Fill a Backpack: Making a meaningful difference in the lives of local students

Summer is coming to a close, and with it parents are preparing for another school year. It’s estimated that back-to-school supplies will cost $597 for the average student, according to Deloitte. Knowing there are so many families in need, three Davidson Realty agents hosted a community-led drive to gather supplies and sponsor local students.

 

Mirtha Barzaga, Liz Pappaceno and Reba Barkley initiated the massive effort by calling St. Johns County Schools to see how they could help. They coordinated with guidance counselors from Mill Creek Academy, Wards Creek Elementary, Crookshank Elementary, Palm Valley Academy and Valley Ridge Academy who provided lists of supplies as well as the grades and sexes of children who would benefit from the drive.

 

Barkley, a former elementary school principal, knows first-hand how important it is for students to have the supplies they need. “Supplies equip students with tools for learning,” she shared. “I want to do my part to contribute to the academic success of our local students, and with Davidson Realty, we believe in investing in the future of the next generation.”

 

The agents called on the local community to sponsor a child, donate supplies or donate money for the team to shop for items. On July 19th, they invited donors to an open house to drop off their backpacks and donations and to enjoy libations and hors d’oeuvres as a way of saying thank you. “The book bags have not only the supply list provided by the school, but a lunch box, water bottle, basic toiletries and fun stuff,” Barzaga shared, who has hosted similar supply donation drives in the past. “One of my customers brought in a book bag and was so impressed with the display of them, that as he was walking out he handed me an extra $100 to sponsor another child!”

 

       

 

Support from the community was overflowing, and the agents surpassed their goal of 75 filled backpacks. “We are putting together more bags now and think we will have 100 in total,” Barzaga said. “I have always been a firm believer in the power of giving back, especially to the community you live in. There is nothing more rewarding to me than giving.” Thanks to the generous giving of our community, and to our agents, local students will have what they need to start the year off right.

We are off to a sizzling start to summer closing out the second quarter of 2023 with a strong June finish!   It’s time to recognize our top agents who made it all happen.  We are so proud of all their accomplishments!  Here’s what we asked them this month: For anyone moving here to our beautiful first coast from out of the area or anyone visiting what would you recommend as a “Must See, Must Do” top area or top attraction to visit?

 

 

 

 

Our Top Producer for June and our Jacksonville Beach Team Top Producer and Top Sales Agent for the 2nd Quarter is Jennifer Todd with over 2.3 Million in closings and 2.3 Million in pending sales.

 

 

 

 

Jennifer – There are so many wonderful things to do and see on the First Coast of Florida.  Here are a few “Must See” places and I’m certain they will lead you to discover more fascinating places!

 

Downtown Historic St. Augustine! Stroll the streets to enjoy the history, beautiful architecture, and some of the best restaurants. I strongly recommend the Trolly Tour. You can hop on and off and the tour guides are so knowledgeable.

 

Our beaches are beautiful from Atlantic Beach and south to Anastasia Island. All of the beaches have easy access. The Guana State Park is in between Jacksonville and St. Augustine. Mickler Beach is in Ponte Vedra, Jacksonville Beach is miles long with Huguenot Beach to the north.

 

There are fishing charters throughout the area and you can enjoy the ocean fishing and Intracoastal waters… 

 

Golf, Golf, Golf!!! Depending on the level of golf you play, there is a course for you.

 

Give me a call and we can chat about all the other many options and I’m always happy to recommend a great restaurant!  

 

 

 

 

Our Top Producing Team in both closings and pending sales for June and the Quarter is The Nemethy Group with Shelley and Tim Nemethy.  They had over 6.7 Million in closings and 6.6 Million in overall pending sales in the quarter.
