Sips & Tips: New FinCEN Requirements
March 24th, 2026 - 10am-12pm
Vichino’s Cafe & Wine Bar 25987 S Tamiami Trl, Ste 100 - Bonita Springs, FL 34134
Did you know that starting March 1, 2026, FinCEN requires a Real Estate Report for certain non-financed residential transfers to qualifying entities or trusts? In many cases, this means all-cash or similar non-financed deals involving an LLC, trust, or other entity may trigger new reporting requirements, while financed purchases and many individual-buyer transactions generally fall outside the rule. Our guest will walk through what the rule covers, where it commonly comes up, and what REALTORS® should know when these deals surface in the real world.
Sips & Tips is meant to be open, approachable, and useful — a casual sit-down at a local restaurant where you can ask questions, talk through real scenarios, and leave with a clearer understanding of the topic.
