Fund News and Alerts

One of Florida ARECS’ most important strategic priorities is to promote the value of using a real estate attorney in real estate transactions to Realtors®. Since our inception in 2014 we have supported dozens of events to fulfill this objective including:

Florida ARECS and The Fund are always ready to support our Real Estate Councils and their efforts to build relationships with their local Realtor® Associations.

We would also like to take this opportunity to recognize REC member attorneys who have been appointed to the Florida Realtor®-Attorney Joint Committee. The Florida Realtor®-Attorney Joint Committee was formed in the early 1970's by the Joint Accord entered into between The Florida Bar and the Florida Association of Realtors®, to fulfill several purposes:

Late last year The Fund took another step in its support of Florida ARECS by launching an advertising campaign in the Florida Realtors’ Legal News, a bi-weekly email newsletter that reaches over 105,000 Florida Realtor® members. 

Florida ARECS continues to work with Florida Realtors^® to build awareness of the RECs and the value their attorney members bring to real estate transactions. So we are pleased to offer two new opportunities for REC member attorneys to promote themselves and their RECs.

We spend a considerable amount of time and effort in developing tools for REC Members to use in reaching out to Realtors®, however, we have not forgotten about the Consumer.  Today’s digital world offers you a wide variety of opportunities to communicate with Buyers and Sellers directly.  Here are a few of our most popular options that you can use to market your practice in person, using your website, an email drip campaign, print media and/or social media.

One of the most effective ways to promote our message of the value of involving a real estate attorney in a real estate transaction is through social media because that’s where everyone is. There are over 2 billion active Facebook users in the world and approximately half of them log in EVERY day.

All of us at Florida ARECS extend our heartfelt sympathy to those devastated by Hurricane Irma. Floridians will be faced with repairing and rebuilding their homes, businesses and lives for months or even years.
