Fantastic Finish – Davidson Realty 2022 Awards

February 24, 2023

 | 

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.

Congratulations to all our Top Producers for January 2023!

February 20, 2023

 | 

January 2023 has started out with a bang.  Our team is hard at work selling lots of real estate as usual.  We want to congratulate our TOP Producers for a successful January!  Our top performers have years and years of expertise and have seen their fair share of some pretty crazy shake of the head or laugh out loud moments.  Please read on as they share the funniest, zaniest, or most off the wall experiences they have had in their real estate business.

 

 

 

 

Our Top Producer and Top Overall Sales Agent for January is Mirtha Barzaga with $5 Million in closings.

 

 

 

Mirtha – Do you want to hear about the time I walked into a house that was supposed to be unoccupied and a couple of teenagers one being a relative of the seller decided to have a little afternoon delight in the uncle’s house while he was out of town?

 

Or maybe not, I’ll tell you about the Gopher Tortoise instead.

 

About 5 years ago I had to relocate a gopher tortoise larger than 2 feet out from under a house I had for sale which backed up to conservation.  The tortoise had created a tunnel under the house that went all the way from the front to the back.

These tortoises are a protected species and I had to go through the wildlife department to obtain the protocol that was involved in relocating them.  We had to hire someone licensed to catch it and relocate it.  After that we had to get a structural engineering company to come out to the house to do a sonogram study in order to figure out if the foundation had been compromised and to know how much of the tunnel had to be filled in with concrete.

This was a very lengthy process not to mention costly in getting this entire incident resolved.

I guess you can say there is never a dull moment in Real Estate.

 

 

 

 

 

Our Top Producing and Top Sales Team for the month is The Nemethy Group with Shelley and Tim Nemethy with $750,000 in closings.

 

 

 

Shelley and Tim – Having been Realtors for many years, the zany stories seem to flow in new frontiers! It’s difficult to narrow in on just one, so we have created a Nemethy Group poem. 

 

A beep awakes the slumbering team as their email takes off with problems and pleas.

 

“Good morning!” says one. “I have a slight problem. A tree has fallen overnight and a roofer I’m calling!”

With the closing scheduled and the walk through approaching, mother nature had other plans with a tree now encroaching!

Congratulations to all our Top Producers for September & the Third Quarter!

October 26, 2022

 | 

Davidson Realty is proud to announce our top real estate agents for September and for the 3rd Quarter of 2022.  Read on as our best share their professional insights on some of the most sought-after questions in our local Northeast Florida market right now.

 

 

 

Our Top Producer for September and the 3rd Quarter is Suzy Evans with $2.3 million in closings.  Q&A with Suzy:

 

 

 

 

Q – How do you stay up to date with current trends and best practices?

Suzy – Living in St. Johns County and selling real estate from Jacksonville to Palm Coast I spend many miles in my car.  Saturating this time listening to podcasts and participating in the social network “Clubhouse” I am able to connect with realtors & supporting professionals all over the country. As part of this round table of agents we are able to share best practices, new ideas and experiences.  As a CRS, Certified Residential Specialist I am afforded the opportunity for extensive advanced continuing education to stay on top of local and National market trends.   Frequent communications with my preferred mortgage lenders keep me informed of influential factors in mortgage rates. 

 

 

 

 

 

Davidson’s Top Producing and Top Sales Team for September and the 3rd Quarter is The Nemethy Group (Shelley & Tim Nemethy) with $3.5 million in sales.  Q&A with Shelley & Tim:

 

 

 

Q – What are some examples of home projects that will increase the value of a home before selling?

Shelley & Tim – A buyer is attracted to a well-maintained house. In our experience, they don’t mind as much dealing with some upgrades if the home’s major components will not be a concern for them (Roof, HVAC, Hot Water Heater, Plumbing, Electrical).  We always like to walk through the house with the seller and ask them to look at it as if they were the potential buyers. Buyers are pickier as the market adjusts and it is so important to present a clean home that smells good. Invest in having a deep professional clean, put some fresh paint on the walls and baseboards and replace or clean any carpets, if necessary. Finally, think about the curb appeal. The landscaping should be pleasing to the eye as the potential buyer walks up to the house. Don’t forget about the backyard, as well!

Congratulations to all our Top Producers for June & the Second Quarter!

July 13, 2022

 | 

It was not just the weather heating up here in Northeast Florida, June was another sizzling month for our Davidson Realty team finishing the second quarter of this year very strong!  We are especially proud of our top performers who have been working tirelessly to help people buy and sell property in our local market and beyond. Enjoy our Q & A with these special real estate advisors!

 

 

 

Our Top Producer (Closings) for June and the quarter as well as Top Overall Sales for June and Top Buyer Sales for the quarter is Mirtha Barzaga.  Mirtha had over $7.4 Million in closings to end the quarter on a high note.

 

 

 

Q&A with Mirtha:

 

Q1 – In your opinion what’s the coolest design trend you are seeing in homes today?

Mirtha – Flooring has become a big trend, the vinyl plank or wood tile throughout the house is the best way to go.  Painted cabinets are a big trend as well as quartz counter tops and outdoor design living spaces.
