West Volusia Properties was established in 2001 by native Floridian, Maggi Hall, Broker/Owner. WVP was located in historic downtown DeLand in a restored 1920's Arts and Crafts Bungalow at 441 S. Woodland until its 2008 merger with Adams, Cameron, & Co., the largest Real Estate firm in Volusia and Flagler Counties..
Maggi is enthusiastic in serving her clients' needs as well as the needs of her community. She is knowledgeable in new and pre-owned buildings, commercial properties, vacant land, and investment opportunities, as well as being a leader in historic restoration.
West Volusia Properties sold hundreds of derelict buildings from St. Augustine to Orlando to clients willing to roll up their sleeves and dig deep in their pockets to clean up their towns.
Maggi initiated a "New Urbanism Movement" adjacent to downtown DeLand between Howry and Euclid Avenues and Woodland Boulevard and Amelia Avenue. Now named the "Garden District," this once neglected 4-square block of over 90 dilapidated buildings sporting drugs, prostitutes, and decay was featured in the April 2004 issue of Southern Living.
The desolate neighborhood's days of neglect and crime are steadily being replaced with the laughter of happy children and productive adults as urban residential living begins to return to downtown DeLand. Front porches have been restored, sidewalks re-poured, homes painted, picket fences built -- all within a stone's throw of work and play. Residents are able to walk to work, to the library, to the best restaurants in the county, to art galleries, and antique shops. An art gallery and museum are open in the Garden District as well as FloridaWild Veterinary Hospital. Slated for future openings are shops, upscale townhouses and condominiums, and the city's state-of-the-art Intermodal Transportation System.
This New Urbanism Movement reinforces a sense of community, safety, and enthusiasm for downtown DeLand. The enhancement of a once neglected area adjacent to Town Center brings renewed pride and commitment to its citizens.
 Due to WVP's efforts in preserving its community, the company established the West Volusia Properties Restoration Award, which was given quarterly to honor the restoration efforts of citizens who restore their homes or businesses. This award, the first of its kind in DeLand, was accompanied by a yard sign announcing the award, a photo and story in area newspapers, a gift certificate to Feasel's Paint & Glass, a copy of Images of America: DeLand, and a framed certificate with a photograph of the winning building.
As an on-going project, Maggi believes she can make a difference in the quality of life for DeLand and its citizens and ultimately throughout Central Florida.
So if YOU want to be a part of a very special real estate experience and assist in furthering the quality of life in DeLand, please contact Maggi Hall, Broker/Associate with Adams, Cameron.
