Davidson Realty 2009 Speaker Series Kicks Off with Successful Seminar by Florida Estate Planning and Probate Lawyer

Davidson Realty invites the public to attend its 2009 Speaker Series. Held on the second Thursday of each month at the company’s World Golf Village headquarters, the events include a complimentary wine and cheese social and an opportunity to learn about current issues and trends affecting the real estate industry and homeowners.

This month's August 13 event kicked off the series with attorney and counselor at law Stephanie Harriett, P.L., who discussed estate planning, probate and elder law. A native Floridian and graduate of Florida Coastal School of Law, Harriett opened her law firm in January 2008 and focuses her practice in these areas.

Harriett explained some of the common issues she encounters in probate law, the process of handling the property of a deceased individual and distributing property to its rightful heirs, including the different probate processes, home mortgages, homesteads and the significance of correct home titling, what to do if minors are involved in the process and the importance of a will.

“Estate planning, probate and elder law are very important, but not often enough talked about topics, because they can be so difficult for families,” says Sherry Davidson, president of Davidson Realty. “Much of Stephanie's advice was on the actions that individuals should take now to avoid greater difficulties down the road. This is exactly the type of information we hope to bring to the public with our speaker series.”

The St. Johns County real estate company regularly makes it on the "Best Places to Work" list from the Jacksonville Business Journal, but this is a first for Florida Trend Magazine.

This is a tremendous honor and speaks volumes about Davidson. The company truly values every employee and the contributions that they each make. And happy employees lead to a productive, happy company, which benefits the customers. So, it comes as no surprise that Davidson Realty has been a vital part of the north St. Johns county community, managing 60% of all transactions in the area.

The Best Companies To Work For in Florida program was created by Florida Trend and Best Companies Group and endorsed by the Florida Chamber of Commerce, the Florida Association of Chamber Professionals, the Florida Economic Development Council (FEDC), the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association, the Florida Society of Association Executives (FSAE) and the Orlando Regional Chamber of Commerce. Companies that chose to participate in the Best Companies To Work For in Florida awards program underwent a two-part survey process. The first part consisted of evaluating each company's workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure employee satisfaction. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.

Great Job Davidson!
