FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Bonita Springs-Estero REALTORS® (BER) is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Trusted Only, the industry’s leading vendor recommendation platform for real estate professionals.
This collaboration introduces a powerful new tool for agents, brokers, affiliate vendors, and homeowners across the BER network.
In an era where client expectations continue well beyond the closing table, this partnership replaces static PDFs, outdated email templates, and random referrals with a polished, shareable, and trackable system that elevates how REALTORS® deliver value.
“Our mission is to serve and enhance professionalism, help our members prosper, and contribute to our community,” said CEO Meighan Harris. “Partnering with Trusted Only gives our members not just a tool, but a new way to deliver excellence long past the sale.”
What Agents, Vendors & Homeowners Gain
- With Trusted Only now integrated into the BER ecosystem, members can:
- Create fully branded vendor lists with their own trusted professionals
- Leverage BER’s affiliate directory, preloaded as a trusted default
- Share recommendations instantly via link, QR code, email, or text
- Track engagement and referrals to refine follow-ups
- Stay top-of-mind with clients, building lasting value and trust
Affiliate vendors also benefit from enhanced exposure and credibility. BER’s public-facing affiliate directory will now be powered by Trusted Only, amplifying visibility across the community.
“This isn’t a static directory, it’s a living network of trust,” said Jason Dolle, Founder of TrustedOnly. “We’ve built a tool that aligns with how real estate works: fast, relationship-driven, and measurable.”
Delivering Value to the Whole Real Estate Ecosystem
This partnership strengthens the entire real estate community:
- Brokerages gain enhanced client-care tools, improved agent retention, and a stronger competitive edge
- Agents replace scattered referrals with a centralized, branded, trackable system
