Woof woof, hoomans! I’m Lil’ Dottie, the 2-year-old Maltese who’s the *real* boss around here—the top dog realtor of Putnam County, Florida, and, dare I bark it, the whole state! My assistant, Margaret Zahner (she’s got 55 years of “experience,” whatever that means), handles the boring stuff like client calls and paperwork, but I’m the one running the show. Why? Because Margaret styles me in runway-worthy outfits, keeps my treat jar full, and tosses me toys faster than I chase squirrels! Sure, she’s the human face of Coldwell Banker Ben Bates, but I’m the fluffy heart sealing the deals. I know more about waterfront homes than you’d expect from a pup—docks, yards, and river views are my specialty, unless a frog hops by or a cheeky squirrel begs for a chase. Let’s scamper through my pawsome world, from sniffing out dream homes to sharing why Putnam County’s waterfront is the *ultimutt* place to live!
As the top dog realtor, I’ve “helped” Margaret sell oodles of waterfront homes along the St. Johns River and Crescent Lake. My job? Trotting across docks to “test” their sturdiness (and sniffing for frog intruders). Margaret says I’m “adorable,” but I say I’m a property pro! Historic homes in Palatka? Perfect for porch naps. Canal-front cottages in Satsuma? Ideal for splashing. Putnam County is my playground, with rivers for chasing ducks, lakes for barking at fish, and festivals for begging treats. Margaret does the contracts, but I’m the one making clients smile with my tail-wagging charm. If you’re sniffing around for “Lil’ Dottie top dog realtor Putnam County,” you’ve found the best—let’s fetch that dream home!
Every day at Coldwell Banker Ben Bates in Palatka is a tail-wagging adventure! I prance into the office, rocking my latest bow (pink, obviously—Margaret’s choice), and greet clients with my cutest yip. Margaret calls it “welcoming”; I call it my secret sales weapon! While she’s yapping about square footage, I’m sniffing the computer screen for waterfront listings—those river views make my nose twitch! Sometimes I “help” by pawing at papers or zooming after my toy bone across the floor—keeps the office lively! Snack time? Oh, Margaret’s got my back with a treat jar that’s always stocked. That’s why I let her be my assistant—she’s good for treats and tummy rubs!
But let’s get serious (well, as serious as a Maltese can get). I’ve “sold” more homes than I can count on my paws by being the fluffiest realtor in Putnam County. Waterfront living? It’s my jam—docks for splashing, yards for squirrel chases! Historic homes? Prime napping spots on creaky porches. Margaret thinks she’s the boss with her 55 years of experience, but I’m the one stealing hearts. Clients can’t resist my puppy eyes when they tour homes in Palatka or Welaka. Margaret handles the boring stuff like negotiations, but I’m the one who makes sure the vibe is *pawsitively* perfect. Ready to join my pack and find your waterfront dream home? Let’s dig into my favorite Putnam County adventures!
My office antics are legendary—once, I “reorganized” Margaret’s files by scattering them for a game of fetch. She wasn’t thrilled, but the clients laughed, and we sold a Palatka riverfront estate that day! Another time, I “inspected” a Satsuma canal home by chasing a frog across the dock—Margaret called it a “distraction,” but I call it quality control. My tail-wagging charm keeps the mood light, and Margaret’s expertise seals the deal. Together, we make Putnam County’s waterfront market sparkle—woof!

Waterfront living in Putnam County is *pawsitively* the best—splashing in the St. Johns River, napping on docks, chasing frogs, and barking at ducks! As top dog realtor, I know it’s a lifestyle full of fun and treats. Mornings? Wake to river birds chirping (better than any alarm). Afternoons? Fish with your hooman while I “supervise” (aka bark at the water). Evenings? Sunset strolls along the shore—my tail’s in overdrive! Margaret calls it “tranquil,” but I call it adventure central. Studies say nature cuts stress by 20-30%, and my zoomies prove it!
My top tip? Pick a home with a big yard for squirrel chases—Lil’ Dottie tested, Lil’ Dottie approved!
