Top Jacksonville Realtors in January 2012

Sherry Davidson: Real Estate Brokerage in Saint Augustine Beach, FL

New home construction is really picking up! Our Jacksonville Realtors saw a ton of great activity with new home construction in Northeast Florida this month. We didn’t have the sales and closings we were hoping for, but the new home sales are off the chart. Davidson Realty agents alone sold five homesites and six new construction homes in January. We can’t wait for our new neighbors to move in!

Jennifer Todd is our Top Lister in January with $385,000 in listings sold. Her specialties are evaluating vacant land and new home construction, but selling five lots in January is impressive even for her! All five of the homesites are located in the King & Bear in World Golf Village. Two were sold to a builder and three to individual buyers who will be building custom homes in the very near future.

Suzy Evans is the Top Sales Agent this month with over $350,000 in buyer sales. She sold two new homes in January – one for KB Homes in Samara Lakes and one in The Cascades, World Golf Village’s premiere active adult community. Suzy was recently named our Top Sales Agent and Top Producer for all of 2011. Way to go on another great month!

Jock Ochiltree is the Top Producer for January with $700,000 in closings. He sold a homesite in Waterbury in the King & Bear and had a total of four closings this month. He is Davidson’s resident golf expert and would be happy to share his knowledge of Jacksonville golf course communities with you!
