Location: Berlin Patten Ebling Tampa Office

Beginning March 1, 2026, certain residential real estate transactions will trigger a new federal reporting requirement administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). While Realtors are not responsible for filing the report, failure to identify a transaction that triggers reporting can result in delayed closings, frustrated clients, and damaged credibility.

Join Real Estate Attorney David Reider for a practical overview of the new FinCEN rule and how it will impact Florida real estate transactions.

This class is designed to help licensed real estate professionals understand:

Which transactions trigger FinCEN reporting
How cash purchases involving LLCs, trusts, or other entities may be affected
What information must be collected and why timing matters
How late disclosure of entity buyers can delay or derail a closing
Best practices for identifying potential FinCEN issues early in the transaction

In markets like Florida, where entity and trust purchases are common, this rule will affect more transactions than many Realtors expect. Proactively identifying these issues protects your deals, your clients, and your reputation.

This seminar is free to attend. Registration is required.
