  • The League of Extraordinary REALTORS® - David Butler aka Santa Saves the Day!

    by Watson Realty | Jun 13, 2013

    Few home closing transactions are unforgettable – both for the customers and for the Realtors. The trip to the title company for the signings, exchange of funds, and picking up the house keys is that necessary step sandwiched between the thrill of the hunt for the perfect house and the excitement of moving in and making the house a home. For Ray and Alicia Klaase and their children, walking into their closing was the most exciting step of all and one they will never forget.

    Realtor David Butler has helped many buyers and sellers close on their properties for the past 17 years. The Klaase family is a long-time customer who was ready to upgrade their home to meet the needs of their growing family. After enjoying living on the Westside of Jacksonville, they chose the booming new community of Nocatee for their second home. Located between Jacksonville and Ponte Vedra, Nocatee offers great amenities for residents, including neighborhood parks, a sports and pool complex and plans for an elementary school. The Klaase family carefully chose their lot before the street was even finished and their four daughters helped to design and choose tile and colors during the six-month home-building process. The entire family was involved in helping to create their dream home.

    “Building from the ground up can be overwhelming with all of the choices and options. Dave provided sound advice on how to best spend our money…,” shared Ray Klaase. 

    Both Butler and the family were hopeful that the completion date and closing would happen before Christmas so they could celebrate in the new house. With any home sales, hurdles are always presented along the way and it is the Realtor’s job to jump these hurdles and close the sale. 

    The week before Christmas had arrived and they were still not in their new home. As their Realtor, Butler was working with the builder’s site agent to try to make the closing happen by Friday. As the top associate in the Watson Realty San Marco/San Jose office, Butler is known for his great customer service and passion for helping others. One of his favorite volunteer jobs is being Santa Claus at Christmastime for the Community Hospice Center in Mandarin. On Friday, December 21, 2012, Butler was in his suit and enjoying playing the part. Between the Ho-Ho-Ho-ing and wish granting, Butler got the call that the documents were ready for the Klaase closing. This was the last business day before Christmas and therefore, the last possible chance to get the family in their new home in time for Christmas. Rushing to get there before 5:00 p.m., there was no time for Butler to change out of his Santa suit. The family was certainly surprised that Santa Claus was at their closing and delivering their biggest gift early – the keys to their dream home. 

    “We had fun with a Christmas closing and even with all the anxiety of moving, Dave made it possible for Santa Claus to be able to visit our four lovely girls on moving day. Dave and his reindeer are welcome to our home for milk and cookies anytime,” said Klaase.

  • The League of Extraordinary REALTORS® - Sharon Mills Saves the Day!

    by Watson Realty | Jun 12, 2013

    Throughout the years, we have recognized that our REALTORS® are particularly extraordinary. Whether they give their time volunteering in various community organizations or perform selfless random acts of kindness to those need, our REALTORS® go above and beyond the call of duty. In this example, we share a letter from a family in crisis who had just been in a car accident on I-95 in Jacksonville. Here is their story.

    "Dear Mr. Watson,

    On Sunday June 10, 2012 at 7PM we were on I-95 just south of downtown Jacksonville on our way home to Boca Raton after visiting family in Raleigh.  We were rear-ended by a hit and run pickup truck driven by a drunk driver.  We were pushed across the freeway where we bounced off the wall and spun back across all 3 lanes of traffic.  It's a miracle that we weren't hit by anyone else and we didn't suffer any serious injuries.  The driver was eventually apprehended and sentenced, but our car was totaled.

    The reason we are writing this letter to you is because of one of your associates, Sharon Mills.  As we were standing alone on the shoulder of the highway, next to our wrecked car waiting for the Highway Patrolman to get there, a SUV pulled over on the shoulder in front of us.  It was Sharon, she hadn't witnessed the accident, but when she saw us she stopped.  Something told us that our guardian angel had arrived, and we were so right.  No witnesses had stopped, but Sharon did.

    This is just the beginning of what Sharon did for us that night.  She immediately got out and came over to see what had happened, if we were okay and what she could do to help us.  That was 7PM and she stayed with us until 11PM.  She made numerous phone calls for us helping to arrange towing, local car dealers to tow to, hotels to stay overnight, assisting with the highway patrolman, etc.  There was a delay in getting towed, but Sharon was not about to leave us until she knew we had a place to stay overnight and that we could get a rental car.

    Sharon's family was at home expecting her to arrive soon.  She told them she couldn't leave us. Her family also deserves a big thank you for being so understanding.  We have a feeling that Sharon's family are just like her.

    Once the car was ready to be towed to a local dealer, we told Sharon that she should go home.  You know her answer? “NO WAY!”  She piled all of our luggage into her car and went with the tow truck driver.  Once the car was left there, she drove us to a local Hampton Inn.  She offered to come and get us in the morning, take us back to the Hyundai dealer and help us get a rental car.  That was not necessary because the hotel and car rental agency took care of that.

    W
    e are sure this is no surprise to you, as you know Sharon.  Her actions were somewhat surprising as many people nowadays just ignore others in need, but not Sharon. We wanted to tell someone this story because we doubt that Sharon would make a big deal over it, so we looked up your company contact information on your web page and thought you would enjoy hearing about one of your associates, who probably reflect her management and fellow employees.

    Please pass on our heartfelt thank you and appreciation to Sharon."

    We share that appreciation for Sharon and we thank her for her compassion and generosity. We could not think of anyone who better exemplifies the Watson Realty Corp.™ League of Extraordinary REALTORS®.
