Watson Realty celebrates 40 years!

December 2005 marked 40 years of continued real estate service by Watson Realty Corp in Florida. The Central Florida associates had an opportunity to hear a little about the history of this company yesterday during the annual awards program. The presentation included video of past commercials, slides of print ads and a brief history lesson of the company from Bill Watson Jr., his wife and son.

The program also presented various awards and recognition to those who contributed to the continued success of Watson Realty in 2005. Several members of our Maitland team were in attendance to accept their awards for their outstanding year of production. Congratulations to all those in my office who achieved or exceeded their goals in 2005. 2006 should prove to be even more exciting and profitable.

Orlando has homes for sale

Latest numbers indicate over 10,000 properties are available in and around this area. Buyers now have the ability to compare and shop around a bit more than they did last year. Average days on the market is still around 37, so this would indicate a home priced correctly will still move quickly.

Key of the month is price reductions IF needed. Don't let the Orlando area home sit with no offers or activity. The "testing" the market with higher prices is a thing of the past now. The cma is correct unlike last year when it was anyone's guess what values were doing.

So is all hope lost? Heavens no. Those of us at Watson Realty are prepared for all markets. It is business as usual for the Maitland associates. Our group can offer the home seller professional, knowledgeable and sound advice with the best in marketing programs developed over decades with successful results.

Winter Park Florida real estate

One of the Maitland associates gave me a tour today of the surrounding areas that make up the immediate Maitland market.

Our office works all of Central Florida of course, but closer to home are areas that offer the very best in Florida living. Winter Park is one such community that offers the very best of all worlds. Quaint shops, a chain of lakes and homes of all styles and ages makes this area extremely desired by those who know it or have heard of it. The tour was very informative. I am excited about the potential of gaining an increased market share from the Winter Park area.

Watson Realty, Maitland Florida

It floors me that it has only been 11 days since I assumed the Branch Manager's postion here in Maitland Florida. Maitland is minutes from Orlando. I would call it a bedroom community of Orlando but a Maitland resident may disagree. The way the associates have taken to my style, the conversations and meetings between them and I make me feel like I have been here for forever. They have been very accepting of the "new guy".

The office is made up of strong personalities. It is reflected in their no non-sense approach to their business. Very little wasted time as they come into the offfice get their work done and then out the door to their next appointment. Several top producers here and more developing. I'm thinking no reason why together we cannot take over the number 1 office spot in the company.

Business at hand is to clear up a few issues left over, continue to get to know the associates, get a better understanding of Watson Realty Corp.s, management team and goals and recruit recruit recruit.
