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 matters because it signals a move toward solving a critical bottleneck in housing supply: the lack of entitled land ready for construction.
For years, All Around Estates built its business by purchasing vacant land directly from owners, offering a simple and reliable exit for those holding unwanted property. That core business remains intact. What changes is the company’s approach after acquisition. Instead of merely reselling land, All Around Estates now intends to unlock its highest and best use through entitlement—the complex process of securing approvals for development.
Entitlement involves feasibility studies, surveys, zoning analysis, rezoning applications, subdivision plats, and coordination with county planning departments, engineers, and utility providers. It is a slow, detailed process unfamiliar to most landowners, which is why many well-located parcels sit unused for decades. All Around Estates is building the team, capital relationships, and county-level expertise to navigate this process itself. The company targets land on the growing edge of mid-sized metros, where builders need finished lots but few buyers are willing to undertake the entitlement work.
“Most people look at a 20-acre parcel with no utilities and see a headache,” said Anthony Slaney, founder of All Around Estates. “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.” This perspective underscores a broader real estate principle: land is valued by its potential, not just its current state.
Many parcels All Around Estates acquires are overlooked due to unusual shapes, rural addresses that are closer to town than they appear, old title issues, back taxes, or absentee heirs. Traditional buyers and lenders often avoid these complications, but All Around Estates has spent years resolving them. That experience now informs its development strategy, as every parcel is screened for whether it could be split, rezoned, or entitled into something more valuable.
For landowners, the process remains straightforward. All Around Estates buys land directly, without commissions, listings, showings, or required improvements. Owners receive a free, no-obligation offer typically within 24 to 48 hours, and closings go 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 already 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 distinct zoning rules, buyer demand, and approval timelines, so the company evaluates every property individually.
As it moves into larger projects, All Around Estates is seeking relationships with landowners holding larger tracts, homebuilders and developers needing 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.”
The implications of this expansion extend beyond the company. By taking on entitlement work that many avoid, All Around Estates could help bring more land into productive use, potentially easing housing shortages in high-growth areas. For landowners, it offers a reliable path to sell complicated parcels. For builders and investors, it provides access to entitled lots—a scarce and valuable commodity. As the company scales, its success may demonstrate the value of patient, expertise-driven land development in a market often dominated by quick flips.
