A New Orleans State of Mind in an Orange Beach Condo

New Orleans is more than a city—it’s a state of mind.  If you’re heart belongs to the sights and sounds of Canal Street, then check out this Orange Beach condo on Canal.

Located in Bayshore Towers on Canal Road, this Orange Beach condo is a water-lover’s dream. To the East is Terry Cove—a perfect place to watch the sun rise. The bay lies to the North, and the stunning waters of the Gulf are to the South. If it’s sun and saltwater you want, welcome to paradise. Not to mention, the boat slip and marina are just outside of your front door.

Walk, boat, or paddle over to the beach, where you can check out hot spots like Tacky Jack’s.  You’ll find all the staples of a good time—food, fun, and fantastic views!

When it’s time to give your sea-legs a rest, take on a game of tennis or racquetball at the private courts, or get your pump on in the fitness room. And we didn’t forget about the dog, this condo is pet friendly and has picnic areas where you and Fido can play fetch.

Later, anchor down and bring the party back to your Canal Road condo. There’s plenty of space to keep the good times rolling. Enjoy three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and ample room to entertain (including poolside). Of course, entertaining isn’t complete without the perfect cocktail. Mix up a batch of the original New Orleans spirit, the Sazerac, at the wet bar. Ironically, the Sazerac was the first cocktail in America. Leave it to New Orleans to take a good thing and make it better. Oh, and if you’re glass is running low, the market is less than five minutes away. Then settle in for the evening as you cozy up to the fireplace or unwind on the patio.

With Mardi Gras just around the corner, the living is easy—Big Easy. On Alabama’s Gulf Coast, it doesn’t get any easier than this fully-furnished condo with amenities to boot.

Beachfront Land For Sale in Perdido Key

[metaslider id=750257]

16000 Perdido Key Drive Listed by Susan Carleton

The quaint community of Perdido Key is quickly expanding. New developments have hit the shore and the amount of beachfront land for sale is limited, which makes this vacant land that much more of a rare and incredible find.

This lot offers over 1.05 acres of space to build your dream home, and approximately 100 feet of undisturbed gulf frontage. (In case you are wondering, that’s 10 feet longer than the distance from home plate to first base). Listed at $1.2 million, this lot is one of the last available for you to claim your spot in the sand… Unless you’re looking next door.

In addition to this lot, Susan Carleton has also listed the neighboring parcel. This majestic piece of land also offers 100 feet of gulf frontage PLUS 1.13 acres of land. You can buy individually at $1.2 million, or you could combine both for $2.4 million.

Side-by-side, gulf front lots in a residential setting. If it seems too good to be true, that’s probably because it is. Act quickly before this rare opportunity is gone!

Contact Susan Carleton directly at 850-516-7238 for more details on these beachfront properties for sale in Perdido Key!

The Key to Success is Through Change

Realtors in Pensacola Beach - Southern Real Estate SalesChange doesn’t come easily. We know. We’ve been there. But now is as good a time as ever to ask yourself where your career is headed. Is your brokerage doing enough to support the agent you could be?

It’s time to move up in this world, but first, you might have to move out. Don’t worry though! Southern Real Estate Sales is here to help you pack up the boxes and set up shop.

Here are a few of the things that Southern can do for your career selling Pensacola Beach real estate:

Leads, Lead and MORE Leads

Take advantage of our cutting-edge lead generation software. Our agents receive leads daily from various websites, including SouthernRealEstateSales.com, ForSaleontheGulfCoast.com, Zillow, Trulia and Realtor.com. We make it a goal to be where the people are, generating leads daily to help ensure your earnings are maximized.

MORE Marketing Power

Not only will we help grow your business through a powerful lead generation software, but with a well-thought out marketing and advertising campaign. With the help of our in-house marketing department, everything from personalized websites to professionally designed listing presentations are at your fingertips. We also tackle social media as a team, highlighting your listings so you can spend more time doing what you do best – selling!

NO MORE Cold Calling

Never pick up a phone again (well do, but only for fielded leads). All those prospective clients that we mentioned earlier are cultivated by a couple of call crushers and phone animals. Southern is one of the few real estate companies in Pensacola Beach, Perdido Key and Orange Beach to employ a full-service inside sales team. Highly skilled and well-trained, our ISAs spend 80-90 percent of their day on the phone setting appointments with qualified buyers and sellers for you!

MORE Office Locations

No mandatory desk fees, no upfront charges and three office locations for you to choose from. It doesn’t get better than this. We want our agents to have flexibility. Part of that is deciding where you will be the most productive. And, if you service all three areas, don’t worry! There’s a conference room and desk space in Pensacola Beach, Perdido Key and Orange Beach with your name on it. It’s really a perk for your clients, too!

MORE Power to Negotiate 

One more great thing about Southern? Negotiable commission splits. If everything in life is open to discussion, why shouldn’t your commission split be? Our agents will back us up on this. We’ll work with you to find a number that complements our services and leaves you with more money in your pocket.

Spend more time closing in 2017 and less time stressing. Shoot us an email today at [email protected] for more details on how we can help set you up for success!
