Jefferson C. Rowell
Jefferson specializes in identifying, assembling, and strategically positioning high-potential land for development-driven investment opportunities across Alabama and Mississippi.
With over 20 years of experience rooted in economic development, Jefferson brings a unique perspective to land strategy—combining site selection experience, conceptual development planning, and investor-focused marketing. His work helps landowners and investors unlock hidden value through thoughtful positioning, feasibility planning, and high-impact marketing strategies.
Jefferson began his career as an Executive Director and President in the economic development field, where he was responsible for industrial site identification, targeted business recruitment, and negotiating project-specific incentives to stimulate regional growth. He later expanded his reach globally, launching a single-estate artisan spirits brand in Brazil, blending cross-border networking, niche market development, and distinctive branding.
In 2021, Jefferson returned to the U.S. Southeast and joined the Estes Bush Real Estate team. Today, he focuses on development-forward land strategy—helping clients understand not only what their land is worth, but what it could become.
