Dean Saunders, ALC, Licensed Real Estate Broker, and owner of Coldwell Banker Commercial Saunders Real Estate in Lakeland, FL, accepted an invitation by Coldwell Banker Commercial president, Rick Davidson, to speak at the Coldwell Banker Commercial Affiliates, Inc. global convention, held in Orlando, FL. in February.

Saunders, slated for presentations at two breakout sessions, covered a variety of diverse subjects. 

Speaking as a noted conservation expert, Saunders led the seminar Land: A Primer on Environmental Easements, whichpresented insights and answers to questions about conservation easements. Saunders is a former Florida legislator who assisted in creating and passing important conservation legislation, worked to further property rights of landowners, and who served with Florida US Senator, then Florida Governor, Lawton Chiles. Saunders’ efforts made conservation history resulting in the State’s very first purchases of conservation easements, a practice that continues to grow each year.

The number of conservation easements being bought today by the Federal, State, and Local governments and conservation organizations, is growing and landowners attending the seminar learned essential facts about this process. 

In addition, Saunders participated in the panel discussion, Best Practices: Win Business by Hosting a Local Industry Event. He joined Terry Simmons, Alex Rhoten, and Jamie Martinson, all from Coldwell Banker Commercial Mountain West in Salem, Oregon. The panel presented insight into gaining business with annual forecasting and local industry events.
