The Pointe South “Why” for our Team

The Pointe South “Why” – why do we do what we do and it starts with our Broker, Susan Carleton.

What purpose do you fulfill by doing what you do?  What is the reason for which you do things?

To make the MOST out of everything you do, you need to know exactly why you do the things you get engaged with.

Real Estate sales transactions are intricate, have difficulties, challenges, include many vendors and a host of people working on ONE transaction and if you are an active sales agent or Broker, you are juggling multiple tasks in unison at once.

This is exactly the reason you need a WHY? There are lots of real estate agents in the field and people often ask if you really need a real estate agent or Realtor to assist? The answer is absolutely YES!

You wouldn’t allow just anyone but the BEST when you need medical attention or needs – the same is true when working with a professional with experience in real estate and knowing their “why”.  There is a statement that is used in life, that you are “a Jack of all trades; master of none”. You will have less than an extraordinary experience by working with an agent that lives that way.  Southern Real Estate Sales, Broker, Susan Carleton and her sales team of agents are Masters of One Field, Real Estate in Florida and Coastal Alabama.

Life is too short to have mishaps in a field where your purchasing or selling one of the largest financial investments of your lifetime and it is personal.  -SRES Client, shared her personal experience. *****5 STARS  “I’m generally not one to rave, but Susan and her team deserve a RAVE REVIEW! Saying you will go “above and beyond” and doing it are two different things.  Susan worked above and beyond in every aspect of listing and quickly selling our primary home, which we had spent several years and therefore had quite an emotional attachment.  The house was one of the nicest/largest homes and hence well above market of others in the area.  Susan was honest and direct while still being supportive and encouraging.  I truly feel that we could not have achieved the result we did with another realtor and team….

A full price offer which closed within 3 weeks of the offer is exceptional and I heartily recommend Susan and her team at Southern Real Estate Sales”.

Southern’s selling strategy is imperative, focused on target marketing, utilizing extensive search engine techniques and requires a team who is focused on all the details.  Executing our “WHY” daily to have results, recommendations and referrals from our customers is our “WHY”!

At the end of the day, developing a successful real estate business that starts with our leadership from Southern’s Broker, Susan Carleton, takes effort and time.  SRES strategies are worth all our efforts.  Success does not come from random acts of work without planning; instead it comes from developing and following a plan and always helping people first!  #SouthernSells #sweetSouthernMoments #GoSouthern  Work with the Best – Work with Southern.

Protecting your Biggest Investment on the Gulf Coast… Family and your home

Hurricane Season officially started June 1st in NW Florida and we need  to be prepared on the Gulf Coast. In protecting our biggest and most important investments, we need to have a plan.  Two keys to weather safely are to prepare for the risks and to act on those preparations when alerted by emergency officials.  These are essential pieces to protecting our families and our homes and communities.  Our gorgeous sugar sand beaches can feel some occasional weather.  Hard to believe, I know!  But, when and if it happens, we want our guests and families to be ready.  We have to gather important information.  Especially, Beachfront communities in Destin, Pensacola Beach, Perdido Key, Orange Beach, and Gulf Shores.  We have to know the evacuation plan.  Firstly, know if you live in an evacuation area.  Assess your risks and know your home’s vulnerability to storm surge, flooding and wind.  Next, plan and take action.  Everyone needs to be prepared for the unexpected.  Your friends and family may not be together when disaster strikes.  How will you find each other? Will you know if your children or parents are safe?  Texting is a good tool to use as the phone lines might be saturated.  Furthermore, have a supply kit.  Put together a basic disaster supply kit and consider storage locations for different situations.  Help community members do the same.  That is what we do on the Susan Carleton Real Estate Team.  We prompt one another to do good and take care of one another in all areas of life.  Develop and document plans.  Protect yourself and family with a Family Emergency Plan.  Be sure to plan for locations away from home and business.  Business owner, Susan Carleton, survived  the massive hurricane 10 years ago and recalls the importance of the plan.  In all life scenarios, the plan is a guide. We hope we don’t have to use, but if you do, you find yourself responding and acting and taking care of one another.

When waiting out a storm, be careful.  The danger may not be over yet.  Be alert.  Wait until the area is declared safe before returning home.  Remember that recovering from a disaster is usually a gradual process.  The City of Pensacola has incredible resources for our visitors and residence from Alerts to traffic advisories to American Red Cross and additional preparedness.  Be safe!  Enjoy the City of Pensacola and surrounding areas.  We love that you are here and hope you have a sweet Southern Experience.
