STANCIL
A New Home and Career Angela Stancil, an agent and member of Team Davidow with Coldwell Banker Vanguard, didn’t enter real estate the usual way. In fact, she didn’t expect to become an agent at all. After earning two master’s degrees, one in elementary education and the other in administration, she expected a lifelong career in K-12 education. Angela began teaching at the K-12 level then she took on an assistant principal role in the 16th largest school district in the nation in her hometown of Raleigh, NC. Her plans were progressing smoothly. Five years ago, however, a job opportunity in Jacksonville emerged for her husband, Lonnie, that became the catalyst for the family’s move to Florida and Angela’s new real estate career path. “We decided we needed a change of location and pace,” shares Angela. The couple and their two young children, now eight-year-old Isabella and five-year-old Brody, left their Raleigh hometown for Jacksonville. And today, not only do the Stancils love their Florida life, Angela has a whole new thriving real estate career she absolutely cherishes. “I expected to remain in education,” Angela reflects on her career transition. “I never thought anything else 18 • March 2022
would fit into my heart and life the way education did, until real estate fell into my lap,” she recalls.
Angela’s entrance into real estate came from the pair’s emerging friendship and Angela’s quick immersion into the real estate sector.

An Emerging REALTOR®
The relocation company the Stancils worked with as they prepared for their Jacksonville move introduced them to Aimee Davidow, REALTOR®, team lead of Team Davidow with Coldwell Banker Vanguard Fleming Island. “From the first moment Aimee and I met, we hit it off,” says Angela. “We connected in a way I can’t describe.”
overcoming obstacles, and success stories were my life before real estate, it just so happens that is also my life now in real estate.”
The Stancils’ children were young when they moved, so Angela was unsure of entering the workforce again. “Aimee asked if I wanted to help with social media management and behind-thescenes paperwork,” Angela says. “She was growing faster than she could handle on her own, and the opportunity was perfect. I could work at home on my own time.”
Angela’s responsibilities continued to grow until the only next move was for Angela to get her real estate license. She received the license in March 2019 then started standing in at home inspections, opening doors for potential buyers, and before long Angela became the newest member of Team Davidow.
Quickly, Angela found she thrived in the role, and her responsibilities kept expanding. Before long, Angela became Aimee’s personal assistant and was helping with as much of the business as she could. “I treated Aimee’s business like it was my own company,” she says. “During this time, I had an incredible opportunity to learn the business backward—from the business standpoint. I truly attest my success to that experience. Not only did I learn the business side first, I learned it from Aimee, someone who cares about her people, about her name, about Coldwell Banker Vanguard’s name, about the community, about making relationships for life, not just handling transactions. Her view on life matched my view so seamlessly. People, families, @realproducers
I wouldn’t be here, though, without the support of my team. We are a collective group of six strong women, moms who love to learn and grow. We bring out the best in each other.
