A Conversation with Drew Overton

Andrew Overton is a founding member of Creative Land Strategies, where he partners with small developers and communities to make sense of the real estate process. From acquisitions and zoning to community outreach, my daily goal is helping others feel supported—especially those stepping into development for the first time. I’ve spent years coaching new developers, breaking down regulatory hurdles, and building education programs to empower people, because real success comes from informed decision-making that benefits both clients and neighborhoods.

Today we’re speaking directly to you, small scale or first-time developers for a practical, accessible look at the realities and rewards of development.
