BER’s first Open House Weekend of the year is set for March 27th through March 29th, and once again, this is a free BER member benefit made possible by our year sponsors!

 

(Work in Progress)

 

The March campaign is proudly presented by State Insurance USA, one of our Diamond year sponsor, and will promote BER member open houses through our public landing page using the link above. 

 

Along with paid advertising through the Naples Daily News / Bonita Banner and targeted digital display ads.

 

This is real consumer-facing exposure. The campaign includes a half-page vertical color ad in the Bonita Banner on Wednesday, March 25, plus digital display ads running March 22 through March 28 in the targeted ZIP codes 34134, 34135, and 33928. The digital banner ads will be clickable, and the print ad will include a QR code that sends viewers directly to the Open House Weekend page.  The Online display ads are estimated to gather an estimated 70,000 impressions.

Featured listings shown in one of the ads will be selected at random on March 20, with one listing per agent.  The only thing YOU need to do, is have the open house added to your listings - See the guided walk through here:  https://scribehow.com/viewer/Add_an_Open_House_to_a_Listing__lH-zJfC7SASuN3Tvcfu1Cw

 

Just as important, the Open House Weekend page will connect users back to the BER Realtor Directory, where consumers can continue browsing agents and their listings. That means now is the perfect time to make sure your BER directory profile is current and that your Realtor.com profile is updated as well.

And this is only the beginning. Thanks to our year sponsors, this will be one of six total Open House Weekends BER is offering as a free member benefit this year, with another coming in late April, one in the summer, and three more in the fall heading into the 2027 season.  We will be discussing internally and with our agents to determine the most optimal weekends to help get your listings seen!

Questions:  Support@BERealtors.org

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. No stupid questions!

Grab your team and enjoy a great day of golf while supporting amazing local charities.
