A Great Day At the Fla Land Conference, Minus Jason Crouch, Sorry

Hello All, How's the world treating you.

Me, I'm tired. Its been a long month, with all the moving and weekend at the beach, and non stop working in Commercial Real Estate in between

Today was a great day. I starte early, and got up at 5:00 Am to get ready for a Land Conference down in Lakeland Fla. It was sponsored by Dean Saunders of Saunders Real Estate. Dean really put on a great show, he hosted the event at the Englebrooke County Club in Lakeland, Fl.

It was a standing room only event, with a full house of Whos' Who in the Land and Commercial Industry from Central and South Fla. Speaking at the event was Attorney Wade L Hopping, a former Justice of the Supreme Court, and now a Lobbiest Specializing in Land Use Law in Tallahassee Fl. He spoke of what had happened over the last year and what he thought would happen in the coming year. At the end, he gave his thoughts on what should have happened..

Next we had Dr. Sean Snaith, PHD another very smart economist that bases out of the University of Central Fla. He had a very good presentation complete with power point slides. If there was ever an economist with a sense of humor, Sean take the cake.

Last, we had Sam Chandan, PHD Chief Economist for REIS out of New York...This guy is just crazy smart, and I cannot say much to do his presentation Justice. Together with the other speakers, they gave an updated Real Estate Forecast for our State, and our industry as a whole.

I find these events very informative to go to. The networking before and after is super, its hard to get this many players in one place at one time. My hat goes off to Mr Dean Saunders Of Coldwell Banker Commercial.

For those of you that would have liked to have been there, I will include a link later when they post the video that was recorded today. If you dont get back, I will list where it may be found later, on the SaundersRealEstate.Com website. It was a very great way to learn from some of the brightest minds I have ever had the priveledge of being in the presence of, these guys are really top notch. I was there representing Developers Capital Realty, LLC, and found many people willing to talk about upcoming land deals that will never see a listing sheet. It does pay to network, it really does.

Again, My sincerest appreciation to Saunders Real Estate for putting on this event. For those that missed it, you really will want to view the link when it becomes available.
