Land remains one of the best investments people can make and since we can’t ‘create’ more land, Florida Topland Inc.’s job is to ensure that its clients get their piece.

President of Florida Topland, pastor and businessman, Dr. Dennis Grant, says his primary reason for finding land is to focus areas that have the maximum potential for positive growth. In fact, he holds that the key to wealth building is through real estate as it is the safest investment with the highest return.

One example he uses is South Florida, where hundreds of acres of land were just swamplands, and now they are built up and have become some of the best communities and business places. This is why he says his company looks for the lands that have potential to spur economic development.

However, with the current economic climate in the US, particularly in Florida, business from his US clients are slower than usual, Dr. Grant told the National Weekly. “It’s land; so people are still buying. Business is still doing good, but not what it used to be a year or two years ago, because of a real estate recession. So because of that we are going into new markets like Canada, Jamaica, Bahamas and London.” People in other countries, are taking advantage of the sales he says. Grant makes it clear to overseas clients, that they do not need US green cards or citizenship to own land here.

Florida Topland is currently offering 20-acre parcels of ‘prime Texas land’ in Dell City. He is now in Phase III and starting at $995 per acre. He says it has tremendous growth potential and is an excellent place to raise a family or start a business.

But it’s the land in the Carolinas that he has now which is doing extremely well, he says. “The land in South Carolina is much more expensive because it is more developed. We are offering 2-acre parcels at $30,000. These are going fast, because people are moving out of Florida and bypassing Georgia to settle in the Carolinas.”

Dr. Grant is saying that people used to shy away from the Carolinas because they associate it with racial prejudice, but advises that much of that has changed. “Many African Americans are moving there.”

With Florida’s high property taxes and insurance, people are no longer moving to Florida from the northern states, the Carolinas is attractive because “it is more economical to live in the Carolinas. Houses are cheaper to build in the Carolinas,” Dr Grant asserts.

The five-year old Florida Topland also makes attractive offers to would-be buyers such as a chance to win a Mercedes Benz for clients who close, and cash back incentives as well. Dr. Grant says, “What is really working is the cash back.”

Florida Topland, Inc. is located at 4900 W. Atlantic Blvd., Suite #5. For more information, call the Florida Topland office at 954-979-9974 or the 24-hour answering service at 954-537-1777, or visit www.floridatopland.com.
