Congratulations to all our TOP Producers in May!

May the month known to represent love and success proved to be true here at Davidson Realty.  Lots of both going around as we celebrate and acknowledge our TOPS this month!  It is always insightful to hear from our best so this month we asked them for their advice that could help future home sellers.  We asked them for anyone thinking of selling their home what are their TOP 3 recommendations for sellers to consider or do before they hit the market. Please read on as they share their helpful tips.

 

 

 

Our Top Producer is Mirtha Barzaga with over $2.1 million in closings for the month.

 

 

 

 

 

Mirtha – When I meet with a prospective seller I go through their home and give them a detailed list of my top recommendations.

  • Usually this includes giving them a punch list of things I notice that should be repaired and give them vendors they could use in case they need them.
  • Since curb appeal is so important in attracting prospective buyers, I also recommend they pressure wash the house and driveway, as the home should look as fresh as possible.  In continuing with the outside landscaping is a must! I recommend revamping beds, proper trimming, and mulch if necessary.
  • Another key tip I strongly suggest to sellers is to Declutter.   Less is more!  You want buyers walking in and being able to appreciate the space and picture themselves in the house. Pack away everything you can, after all you are moving.  Whatever you are still using in showers or kitchen, keep in a plastic basket that can be put away when the showings are taking place.

 

 

 

Our Top Lister and Top Overall Sales for May is Reba Barkley with over $1.3 Million in pending sales.

 

 

 

 

Reba

  1. First impressions matter, and the exterior of the home can peak a Buyer’s interest in anticipation of what will be seen inside. A manicured lawn pruned and shaped shrubbery, seasonal plantings, welcome mat, and wreath on the door sets a positive tone before a Buyer enters the home.
  2. Less is more when selling a home. Buyers need to picture themselves living in the home, which means decluttering, depersonalizing, and minimizing furnishings and accessories. Eliminate any distractions that will interfere with the focus on the highlights of the home and what makes it stand out among other listings.                         
  3. A neutral color palette works with most furnishings, gives Buyers a clearer perception of how their items will fit in the home, and can eliminate a Buyer calculation of an out-of-pocket cost of repainting.

February 24, 2023

Posted by in Awards, Events, News, Staff, Top Agents

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

 | 
Posted by in Community Involvement, Events, News, Staff

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.”

Posted by in Agent Feature, Awards, News, Staff, Top Agents

Davidson Realty is proud of the team of excellent real estate professionals that are focused and united behind their mission of valuing people first above everything. The agents at Davidson Realty continuously strive to provide superior real estate services to their clients. That effort is often recognized and applauded by their clients and peers. 

 

Recently, seven Davidson Realty agents were honored with the Five Star Real Estate Agent award. What makes this award especially heartwarming is the fact that candidates are identified through evaluations completed by consumers. Davidson Realty is proud of Mirtha Barzaga, Jennifer Todd, Liz Pappaceno, Candy Gil, Suzy Evans, Reba Barkley, and Margherite Myers for receiving this well-deserved award. 

 

Recipients of the Five Star Real Estate Agent award must satisfy five objective eligibility and evaluation criteria that are associated with real estate agents who provide quality services to their clients. Annually, the award process is conducted in each market. Recent homebuyers are asked to assess real estate agents that they have worked with and evaluate them based on ten criteria. The recent homebuyers are able to evaluate up to two real estate agents in order to measure the experience with both the purchase and sale side of a move. 

 

“The Davidson Realty team goes above and beyond for our clients. We are overjoyed that the efforts of seven of our agents were recognized as they receive the Five Star Real Estate Agent award,” shares Davidson Realty President, Sherry Davidson. “At Davidson Realty, putting our clients first is always our top priority!”
