LAKELAND, FL, July 27, 2026 – Saunders Real Estate, a leading land and commercial real estate brokerage serving the Southeastern United States, has been named one of The Land Report’s America’s Best Brokerages for the 16th consecutive year after surpassing $1 billion in annual transaction volume.
Among land brokerage firms operating exclusively in the South, Saunders Real Estate was the only company to surpass $1 billion in annual transaction volume and the only firm to exceed $500 million. The firm recorded at least twice the transaction volume of its closest regional competitors, further establishing Saunders as one of the Southeast’s leading land brokerage firms.
