Bio
Don Oxley is most recognizable for his mullet haircut, engaging smile, and gentle Southern accent. But he is best known for his kind heart by the people he touches. The 2016 Top Producer at Watson Realty’s Dunn Avenue office finds the rebellious image he projects allows him to become close to people who need help.
Oxley, who is 61 years old, will soon be a grandfather for the 10th time. He still lives in his “starter home” with his wife, Cindy, whom he met while in his senior year at Edward H. White High School. The Jacksonville-based Southern rock band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, played at their senior prom.
While Oxley sells real estate across the Jacksonville area, he considers the Northside his home. Oxley is witnessing rapid growth in two Northside neighborhoods: Springfield, which appeals to millennials, and the Brentwood area just north of Springfield. Yet most of his sales are in Yulee, Hilliard, and Callahan, where customers are buying homes to escape Jacksonville’s noise and traffic congestion.
Oxley entered the real estate business more than three years ago after retiring from the U.S. Postal Service. He delivered mail for 29 years in the North Jacksonville and Arlington areas. Sometimes Oxley, who considers himself a rebel of sorts, was at odds with the agency’s management and the National Association of Letter Carriers union, neither of which he was a member.
Most difficult for him were the rules that prohibited him from spending time with customers.
He learned to keep things to himself, such as helping an elderly man on his mail route who could not cook for himself. Oxley routinely skipped his lunch break to make soup and a sandwich for the man.
