Small Details That Can Make a Home More Appealing to Buyers

A win worth sharing from our Gainesville office.

Yasmin Vizcaino joined Watson on September 10 as a brand new associate, and she has already earned her first commission check by helping her customer lease a commercial space in Gainesville.

First deal, seven weeks in, and a commercial one at that. She rang the bell this week, and we expect to hear it from her a lot.

Congratulations, Yasmin. https://yasminvizcaino.watsonrealtycorp.com/
