Watson Realty hires new broker

Watson Realty Corp., at 1410 Palm Coast Parkway N.W., has hired a new broker, a native Floridian who used to spend a lot of her time growing up at her grandparents’ brokerage office.

"I feel that being a native Floridian has given me an excellent prospective and love for the Flagler County area,” Dana Davis said in a release. “I was born in Daytona Beach, raised in Winter Park and reared my children in Melbourne Beach.”

Both of Davis’ parents worked in real estate, her grandmother worked in real estate into her late 70s and Davis’ aunt is a real estate agent in Altamonte Springs.

Davis is a member of the county's, state's and nation's Association of Realtors and has a National Association of Realtors “green” designation, which allows her to help inform buyers about eco-friendly home features and green community initiatives.

"Every step you take towards green is a step in the right direction," she said.
