Our mission

On the outside we are a Florida land development company that has been in business for over 50 years. On the inside we are a family owned and operated real estate business specializing in new homes and residential build-able lots.  As a seventh-generation cattle ranching family rooted in our region's history since the 1800s, we bring unparalleled expertise and insight to the local real estate landscape.

A family business, VanNess Properties was founded in 1973. We are a complete Direct Real Estate firm. What does that mean?

We work with several builders to assure you the best possible home costs while working with a notable mortgage lender over the years. We can assure the best financial plan, meeting the individual needs of our families. We know what a budget is, the importance of the “bottom line,” and the many variables essential to get you into the home you desire.

While on the surface we are a family development company, our biggest reward comes from helping people realize their dreams and create a better life for their family by moving to Florida. We look forward to having you come see for yourself the many advantages of living in the heart of Florida’s Nature Coast.

We believe that one of the greatest achievements in life is owning your own home. Whether you have decided that it is time or you're wanting to take your first steps by purchasing your own piece of land. Come learn how we've helped thousands of people just like you.

Don't let these home prices or average salaries worry you. Come see how we can still make it possible and have been so successful helping people just like you own their own home in Florida.
