Andy Ross Sets Gulf Coast Lionfish Record

The annual Gulf Coast Lionfish Removal and Awareness Day is quickly approaching, and with that we could not be more proud to sponsor such an event. This year, we have even more reason to celebrate as Perdido Key real estate agent, tournament host and fishing captain, Andy Ross found himself with a record-breaking catch. Just last week, Andy caught a seventeen foot long lionfish off the shores of Pensacola Beach.

Andy is a captain with Nihui Dive Charters has been an active member of the Gulf Coast Lionfish Coalition for years. The fish was caught just in time for the group’s festivities, helping to hype the upcoming events and festival. With the festival, the Lionfish Coalition aims to educate the public on how to control the influx of the invasive species and further protect the Gulf Coast fishing industry.

On Friday, the Coalition will host a lionfish tasting at West Marine on Davis Highway in Pensacola. (Yes, you can eat these invasive boogers, and yes, they are delicious!) May 14 and 15 are considered the main event days, where the Coalition gathers with food and entertainment at the Plaza de Luna in Pensacola. Be there from 10:00 – 5:00 pm for a full day of fun, education and support. We will most definitely be there!

Orange Beach, a Developer’s Dream Land

Those who live here all ready know that Orange Beach, Alabama is dynamic city oozing with potential. Combining the pleasures of a relaxed, coastal quality of life with limitless opportunities for economic growth, the city itself is an Orange Beach real estate developer’s dream land (which would have to make Susan Carleton’s newest commercial listing heaven on earth).

The nearly 5 acre parcel of land is nestled in the heart of Orange Beach, Alabama, situated directly between the Island House Hotel and Tidewater Condominium. The lot offers over 200 feet of Gulf frontage, making it the perfect place for the future site of a new hotel or condominium complex. Current zoning requirements will allow up to 42 units per acre, or 84 hotel rooms per acre, but to be verified by the City of Orange Beach planning and zoning.

The payback here could be exponential as the Orange Beach market continues to expand. The area’s tourism industry alone attracts over 5 million visitors per year, injecting over $3 billion of visitor spending into the local economy. As more and more people vacation in Orange Beach, Alabama, tax revenues increase, as does the need for improved infrastructure. Alabama’s fastest growing county realizes this, and intends to keep up with the pace of growth it has set to remain top of mind for visitors.

New construction, Orange Beach real estate development and improved roads are just a few of the many things we can expect to see over the next few years. Lots like this, will become rarer, now is the time to buy!

Real Estate Brokerage 101

Real estate is a very “relationship-oriented” business. Past clients, referrals – everything is related – including which brokerage you decide to hang your license at. When you’re deciding this, whether it’s the first time or one of many brokerage switches, you may be wondering what the benefit is to joining a local real estate company in Pensacola.

National chains try to brand themselves by offering new agents training and access to more experienced agents. But even with that, they do very little in the way of lead generation or support for new agents.That’s where Pointe South Real Estate Sales is different. Office space, training and leads are just three of the many things our boutique brokerage can offer you.

Pointe South utilizes a powerful lead generation software and an Inside Sales Department to field the incoming prospects. On top of that, we have marketing support, monthly training sessions, built-in property managers ready to offer rate analyses and ZERO upfront fees. We don’t want our agents worrying about anything other than listing homes for sale in Pensacola and writing contracts.

Contact 850-492-1826 for more information on Pointe South and how we can help you continue down a successful path in the real estate industry.

Condos Under Contract in Less than 20 Days

The phrase “in like a lion and out like a lamb,” may ring true in terms of March weather, but not so much in terms of Perdido Key or even Orange Beach real estate, especially when your Broker is Susan Carleton. Placing two condos in two different states under contract in less than 20 days certainly does not scream lamb-like behavior.

The first condo she listed was at Beach Colony Resort in Perdido Key. This three-bedroom penthouse with soaring gulf views found itself under contract in less than 17 days. And, so you have something to compare this to, Beach Colony condos have averaged 59 days on market since January 2016.

It’s not by luck that the listing went so quickly because Susan has another condo for sale at Phoenix VII in Orange Beach currently under contract. And, this two-bedroom gulf front condo only lasted 10 days.

Needless to say if you’re thinking about buying or selling real estate, Susan Carleton is the Broker to call. Whether you’re interested in a home valuation, or current market reports, she’ll be happy to help. Contact her today at 850-516-7238, or visit SusanCarleton.com for more details on what she can do for you and your listing.
