Dean Saunders: The Leadership Behind the Conference

The foundation for the Lay of the Land Conference stems from the vision of Dean Saunders, Founder and Managing Director of Saunders Real Estate. Since 2005, he has produced these annual land conferences based on verified sales data, giving landowners and investors the insights they need to make confident decisions. What began as an annual Florida land conference has now expanded across multiple states, providing expert insights into regional market trends and investment strategies. 

Dean’s leadership in land has earned national recognition, including being named the 2024 Land REALTOR® of America and receiving multiple APEX Awards as a national Top Producer and Broker. His dedication to accuracy and transparency laid the groundwork for the Lay of the Land Market Reports, the leading authority on land sales, values, and trends within local land markets.
