PRESS RELEASE
RALEIGH, NC, April 10, 2013 -- The Southern family recently purchased an
historical building at 15 E Martin St in the heart of downtown Raleigh and will
transform the building into their personal residence and an office for their
real estate and property management company.

is a true family owned business. Lisa runs the residential real estate
division working with her two daughters Kendall and
Spencer. Kendall serves as the
office manager and Spencer is a Buyer Specialist. Jim runs the commercial
and property management division of the company along with their son Reid.
Youngest son Truman attends middle school at Sacred Heart Cathedral
in downtown Raleigh.
The Southerns
specialize in downtown Raleigh real estate and property management. The
family owns several properties in downtown Raleigh and they manage over 150
properties all over the Triangle. "We are so excited to become full
time residents of downtown Raleigh. We spend a lot of time here through our
son's school and working with clients. We love everything the area has to
offer and see it as the place to be in the Triangle," says Lisa Southern.
Renovations are underway on the historic building on
E. Martin St. adjacent to Square Rabbit Bakery and walking distance to Moore
Square and Marbles Kids Museum. The Southerns will transform the bottom
floor into their real estate office. The top two floors of the building will be
their permanent residence. Jim Southern stated, "We will move into
the upstairs portion of the building this Spring while we are renovating the
office downstairs." The look of the new office will be contemporary
with traditional influences, representing Raleigh as a historic, yet modern
City.
The Southerns are working with local
Architect David Maurer to design
the space as well as enhance the facade of the building. The interior
will be sleek and modern, with glass walled offices to make an open and airy
feel. The facade will be changed to a flat front with larger windows to
let in more natural light.
"We can't wait to be involved
with First Friday events and invite local artists to display their work at our
offices. We are already designing gallery style walls in the front office
for that purpose", says Kendall Southern.
