Just wanted to say hello to my fellow agents at home and here with me in Orlando! I arrived in the beautiful city late this afternoon and I'm just settling into my hotel. Seems like it takes longer to unpack than it did to pack! Maybe because I'm in a strange room and don't know where I want to put my stuff.

So far so good. Ive got a nice comfy room to myself. Some of my fellow agents at the same hotel are complaining about cleanliness and accommodations here. For the same rate everything works for me. Of course being a germ-aphobe I went across the street for some disinfecting wipes. Next time Im packing my own, I bought a mini can of lysol for $6. As a matter of fact 4 bottles of soda, a snack pack of cookies, lysol, listerine, and soap costed $26! Maybe I need to open a convenience store across from a hotel district when I get home.

Im at the International Plaza Resort & Spa. Cleaned everything up according to some travel tips I read somewhere about the tv remote being the dirtiest thing in a hotel room. Also wiped down all handles and switches as advised and now I feel better.

Obviously my internet access is up and running fine. I ordered room service, the angus burger and a cheesecake for dessert. As expected its going to be hotel priced room service. Burger was ok, but they're better in Texas! The service here is excellent from the front desk, room service, and guest services. They have a really nice workout facility and the rooms are quiet and comfortable.
 

The rooms are not huge, but they are functional and more than enough for me alone. Ive got a pool view and there is plenty of room to walk around outside in the complex made up of several buildings. There are alot of places nearby to shop and dine, all within walking distance.

Before I knew it and settled into my room it was 8pm Orlando time and I was starving after just grabbing a quick snack for lunch before departing Houston. So I settled for room service rather than wandering around the hotel and getting more hungry.

Now that Im here Im working on a commercial deal that has been in the works for a month now and finally the ball is rolling. Its amazing how technology is today. I can be in a hotel in Orlando, FL and communicate with documents to negotiate and proceed on a real estate transaction in Sugar Land, TX.

Its also Murphy's Law of real estate, or it's at least always been my luck. As I was winding things down last week at the office to spend a week in Orlando, it was quiet before I left. On the plane my voicemail got 3 calls regarding commercial deals that have been waiting months for! I love it!

There is is ladies and gentlemen, just when you least expect it, deals start moving. What is better than accomplishing a deal 963 miles away! Now I'm getting back to work!

I'll keep updates here about Keller Williams Family Reunion 2009 from Orlando, FL. Im excited about KW Commercial Division Launch and courses!
