All Around Estates, a family-owned, BBB-accredited real estate company founded in 2022, has announced its expansion from land flipping and minor subdivides into full-scale land development, with a focus on major subdivisions, rezoning and entitlement projects. The company buys vacant land directly from property owners in more than a dozen states and is now positioning the parcels it acquires for their highest and best use.
The move matters because it signals a strategic shift from a relatively simple buy-and-resell model to the complex, capital-intensive work of entitling land for development. Entitlement—the process of securing approvals for development—can include feasibility studies, surveys, zoning analysis, rezoning applications, subdivision plats, and coordination with county planning departments, engineers and utility providers. It is slow, detailed and unfamiliar to most landowners, which is why so much well-located land sits unused for decades. By taking on that work itself, All Around Estates aims to create finished lots in areas where builders need them but few buyers are willing to navigate the approval process.
"We built this company by finding land that other buyers passed over and giving the owner a fair, fast exit," said Anthony Slaney, founder of All Around Estates. "Now we are taking the next step. Instead of simply reselling that land, we are doing the work to unlock what it can become: a subdivision, a neighborhood, a place people actually live."
The company targets land on the growing edge of mid-sized metros, where demand for new housing is strong but entitled lots are scarce. "Most people look at a 20-acre parcel with no utilities and see a headache," Slaney said. "We see a site plan. The value is not in what the land is today. It is in what it can be approved to become."
Much of the land All Around Estates acquires is overlooked for reasons unrelated to its potential: an unusual shape, a rural address that is closer to town than it looks, an old title issue, back taxes, or an owner who inherited the property and lives several states away. Traditional buyers and lenders tend to walk away from those situations, but the company has spent years working through them. That experience now feeds its development strategy, with every parcel screened not only for its current market value but also for whether it could be split, rezoned or entitled into something more valuable.
For property owners, the process remains straightforward. All Around Estates buys land directly, without real estate commissions, listings, showings or required improvements. Owners receive a free, no-obligation offer, typically within 24 to 48 hours, and every transaction closes through a licensed title company. The company regularly purchases vacant lots, rural acreage, inherited land, recreational property, and parcels with complications such as back taxes or title questions.
All Around Estates has purchased land and homes across the Southeast, Texas and the Midwest, with a growing focus on counties on the edge of expanding metropolitan areas and near destination lakes and coastlines. Each market has its own zoning rules, buyer demand and approval timelines, and the company evaluates every property individually rather than applying a one-size-fits-all formula.
As it moves into larger projects, All Around Estates is actively seeking relationships with landowners holding larger tracts, homebuilders and developers looking for entitled lots, and capital partners interested in ground-up land development. "The long-term vision is to be one of the leading land development and rezoning companies in the country," Slaney said. "That starts with treating every seller right, doing the entitlement work properly, and building the kind of track record that partners want to be part of."
