All Around Estates, a family-owned, BBB-accredited real estate company founded in 2022, announced on September 19, 2026, that it is expanding from land flipping and minor subdivides into full-scale land development. The company will focus on major subdivisions, rezoning, and entitlement projects across more than a dozen states. This strategic shift signals a growing trend among land investors to capture more value by navigating the complex approval processes that turn raw acreage into buildable lots.
The significance of this move lies in its potential to address a critical shortage of finished lots in many growing regions. Entitlement—the process of securing approvals for development—involves 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. As a result, well-located land often sits unused for decades. By building the team, capital relationships, and county-level expertise to take parcels through entitlement itself, All Around Estates aims to unlock that dormant potential.
"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 builders and developers need finished lots but few buyers are willing to do the entitlement work to create them. "Most people look at a 20-acre parcel with no utilities and see a headache," Slaney added. "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: unusual shapes, rural addresses that are closer to town than they appear, old title issues, back taxes, or out-of-state heirs. Traditional buyers and lenders tend to walk away from those situations. The company has spent years working through them, and that experience now feeds its development strategy. Every parcel is 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 simple. 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," Anthony 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."
