The Broward Attorneys’ Real Estate Council (BAREC) is excited to help raise funds again for Special Olympics Florida - Broward County through the Sallarulo’s Race for Champions! In times like these, it is incredibly important to raise money to continue the mission of Special Olympics Florida.

On September 5, The Fund and the Broward Attorneys’ Real Estate Council hosted Legal Lane Lane Live: Speed Rounds with Attorneys’ Council at the Tower Club in Fort Lauderdale.  This annual event held in partnership with the Broward, Palm Beaches & St. Lucie Realtors® attracted nearly 100 agents, and featured updates on hot topics, as well as timed round table discussions allowing attorneys and real estate agents to build rapport and discuss issues in detail.

On September 4, the Attorneys’ Real Estate Council of Miami-Dade County and the North Dade & Beaches Real Estate Council hosted a joint meeting at The Fund’s Miami-Dade Branch featuring a program entitled, Annual Real Property & Business Case Law Update, presented by attorney Manuel Farach.

We’re nearing the end of the year, so it’s time to review your REC’s Member Directory to ensure it is accurate. You can view the Directory at https://www.thefund.com/resources/flarecs/directory.  For Real Estate Councils wishing to update their rosters, please direct those changes to RECManager@flarecs.com.
