Pointe South Rebrands Under Southern Name

WelcomeWe are pleased to announce that we have rebranded the Pointe South name to operate under the “Southern” umbrella. With this change, our vacation rentals, residential leasing and real estate enterprises will change from Pointe South Vacation Rentals, Pointe South Residential and Pointe South Real Estate Sales to Southern Vacation Rentals, Southern Residential Leasing and Southern Real Estate Sales, respectively.

Susan Carleton, Owner/Broker of Southern Real Estate Sales, formerly known as Pointe South is very excited for what lies ahead. “Pointe South has been a Southern company for years. The benefits of the name change are multi-fold for our company, owners and guests alike.”

The name is the only thing that is set to change. Our staff and our locations will remain the same – meaning that same genuine and local service that our owners, guests, tenants and clients have come to love, can still be expected.

For more information about this rebranding and the Southern Family of Companies, view the online press release or GoSouthern.com.

Calling all our local divers! If you live in Pensacola or own real estate in Perdido Key, grab your gear and don’t miss the annual Lionfish Roundup & Festival this May!

Hosted by the Gulf Coast Lionfish Coalition, this event is not only fun, but also serves a great purpose in limiting the number of Lionfish, an invasive species, in our local waters. The tournament and festival will take place in Pensacola May 14-17, 2015. For those wishing to dive, registration is just $35.00.

The three days of this event include educational, as well as fun, activities. One May 14th, attend the workshop and safety meeting, as these creatures can be venomous.  The next two days are full of diving fun as the tournament commences! The weigh-in and awards will take place on May 17, 2015.

If you don’t already own a home in the area but would like to participate, consider renting a Gulf Coast condo or vacation home from our friends at Pointe South Vacation Rentals. They are currently offering 15% off Pensacola Beach and Perdido Key rentals when you book online using code LIONFISH.
