 Have you ever wanted a heart-shaped steak to woo your Valentine? Or perhaps you’re looking for a variety of meats and steak cuts for your next backyard barbecue? DeLand has a new option to “meet” all of these needs.
 Swann Real Estate has been a business fixture in DeLand since 1987, when right after owner Todd Swann started the company. Since 2004, the Swann Real Estate was located in the plaza known as "Swann Landing" at 1205 S. Woodland Blvd. But as the Byrds once sang, "to everything there is a season." Beginning in January 2019, the well known real estate agency moved to its new location at 505 E. New York Ave. Transitions are always challenging, but this move brings a new era of enthusiasm to Todd and all of the agents at Swann.

Now a permanent fixture of Downtown DeLand, Beeatroot opened in its new location at 105 Artisan Alley on February 8. Just steps away from the DeLand Wings mural, directly behind Persimmon Brewing Company, Beeatroot is a unique addition to the eclectic mix of businesses located on the Alley.

Business brokerage is an overlooked field in relation to traditional real estate. There is plenty of education and information available on traditional real estate, investment properties, approaches to property valuation, and general real estate market guidance. On the other hand, many commercial real estate brokerages don't work in the field or publish information relative to business brokerage. At Swann Real Estate, we want to provide this information to you. Let's start with three major factors that influence what your business is worth...

Earth Fare, a grocery chain focused on health, is renovating the space in the West Volusia Regional Shopping Center left vacant by Winn-Dixie last year.
