Honey & Jim Davis Award winning Realtors® Long & Foster, South Boston, VA Honey & Jim moved to Halifax County in 1988 when Jim was transferred with Westinghouse (now ABB). They had not been here long before they fell in love with the area, and they knew this would be their ‘forever’ home. Honey started selling real estate in 1990. She started her own business, The Davis Company Realtors® in 1995. Jim took early retirement in 2001 and joined Honey in running the business and jokes that in retirement he “jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire.” After 19 successful years, the Davis Co. Realtors® merged with Long & Foster in July, 2014. Honey & Jim happily settled into the luxury of putting all their focus on their buyers & sellers and having time left over to play with their five grandchildren. Jim is calm & collected. He is a good listener & problem solver with attention to detail. Honey is full of energy & enthusiasm. She is creative, caring & focused. Both have a sense of humor. Together they possess the perfect combination of skills to help you with your real estate needs.
