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.

The Winning Team – Davidson Realty 2020 Awards

February 19, 2021

 | 

2020. The year of adapting to the unknown. A global pandemic, millions of jobs lost, and a volatile economy, did not stop the real estate market from being swarmed by millions of Americans hoping to take advantage of the positive market trends and record-setting numbers.

 

The Davidson Realty Team powered through the uncertainty, the “social distancing”, and changing market trends to deliver quality real estate services to their clients. “Our team at Davidson Realty continued to stay connected to our customers during the crazy Covid year we had”, shared Davidson Realty President, Sherry Davidson. Agents gracefully navigated 2020 as they were presented with multiple offer situations due to the competitive nature of the market. Along with the excellent real estate service the Davidson Realty Team was providing, they continued to serve the Northeast Florida community, when they perhaps needed it the most. “Our team organized and participated in food and toy drives, Davidson Cares Clay Day, and Deck The Chairs. The passion our team has for serving others is inspiring. With all that our team faced in 2020, I am proud that the Davidson Realty team has matched the 2019 closing volume of $100,000,000 and exceeded 2019 sales volume by 16%,” continues Sherry. With such an exceptional year for the Davidson Realty team, it is only right that their best and brightest are recognized for their accomplishments in service and performance. The success of this team is made in part by the incredible leadership team at Davidson Realty, notably Sherry Davidson and Davidson Realty Sales and Training Manager, Andrea Gallagher.

 

Last month, Davidson Realty President Sherry Davidson was named the 2020 Northeast Florida Association of Realtors (NEFAR) Circle of Honor award winner for her exceptional service and contributions to the real estate community both locally and statewide. Sherry has served NEFAR in various capacities including on its Board of Directors. She has also served on the Board of Directors for Builders Care, a charitable arm of the Northeast Florida Builders Association (NEFBA). Throughout her 30-year career in real estate, Sherry has supported real estate agent education and promoted the importance of the real estate industry’s involvement in the community. Sherry truly has led by example as she has supported various causes in Northeast Florida including NEFAR Fights Hunger and Davidson Cares Clay Day. Known throughout the First Coast as an industry leader and an authority in residential real estate, the Davidson Realty Team continues to flourish under her mentorship.

Mirtha Barzaga: Our Informative, Relentless, Driven Pistol!

September 21, 2010

 | 

Mirtha BarzagaHere we are again! Time to celebrate another one of our fabulous St. Augustine realtors. This month we are spotlighting Mirtha Barzaga and if you’ve ever read one of our Top Agents Blogs you probably know a thing or two about her success. What you might not know is how highly her coworkers speak of her, which is what I found out when I asked them to use one word to describe Mirtha.

“Informative”, “Relentless”, “Driven”, “A Pistol”, “Helpful”, “Fantastic”, “Giver”, “Focused”, “Selfless”, “Original”, “Dances-to-the-beat-of-her-own-Drummer”. These are only a few of the many responses I got back. And because real estate agents are not known to follow the rules, I even accepted some lengthier descriptions:

“Always available and accessible! One of the hardest workers in our business”

“Mirtha is one of the most dedicated and hardworking agents I know. She is someone who works 7 days a week, takes care of her husband and three young grandchildren and even brings in dessert for our monthly cookouts! I am astounded as to how she does it all and keeps those balls in the air. She always has time for you and she does it with a smile.”

“Mirtha is very friendly. She always has hellos and hugs for everyone. She is never too busy to answer a question.”

The real truth of it is Mirtha Barzaga is one in a million. She was born in Cuba and came to the U.S. when she was only eight years old. She lived in New Jersey, ran a construction company, then switched gears and ran an event company. When she moved to south Florida to be closer to her children she worked in sales and marketing for one of the largest importers of fresh cut flowers. Her move to be closer to her grandchildren in St. Augustine is what led her into her real estate career. So, as you can see she has done it all!

Mirtha is so special to us here at Davidson and we love her dearly. Thank you, Mirtha for being a part of our team!

Congrats to our Top Agents in June & the 2nd Quarter!
