Top Things to Know When Signing Up:

Your broker must have activated your license in DBPR before your application can be processed.
Please make sure all applications are completed and signed by your broker at the time of submission.
Completed applications can be submitted electronically to Membership@BERealtors.org filled out on our website, or can be dropped off to the BER office.
If you are transferring from another board, please include your Letter of Good Standing with the application to show that you have paid dues for that current year.
Payment is due at the time of application. When joining, dues will be pro-rated based on the month you join. National, state and local dues are billed on a calendar year (January-December). MLS dues are billed on a fiscal year (July-June). A one-time application fee is applied to new agents.
Please complete both an application for board and MLS. You must have both services when joining a brokerage. MLS logins cannot be shared, this is an MLS violation.
You have no more than 2 weeks to join a board after activating your license with a brokerage.
New Member Orientation and Code of Ethics are required within 90 days of application for all new agents or agents transferring from a non-local board (Fort Myers or Naples).
Mandatory Matrix (MLS) is required within 30 days of application.
It is the responsibility of the broker to notify the board of any agents that change firms by submitting a RE-11 from the DBPR.
If you change to a brokerage that is not a member of BER board or MLS, you will have to pay to join the board they are a member of. Local dues and MLS fees are non-refundable/non-transferrable, although State and National dues do transfer.
To access Supra, you can sign up in the membership office or by phone. There is a one-time $50 activation fee charged by Supra and the monthly charge is $18.41 charged automatically on the 1^st of every month.
We do not keep your credit card on file at BER for dues, MLS or any other charges. The only automatic payment is Supra. Please call the BER office for any updates to your account (email address, credit card, etc.)
If you would like to sign up for a class/event, please visit our website and use your MLS credentials to login to your online portal to register.

Reciprocal Listings

For agents within Florida that belong to another association but have a listing within Lee or Collier Counties, we offer the ability for you to list your listing in our system for a $200 fee per listing. Please note, this does not provide access to our system, our MLS administrators will input the form into the system under your agent name and office and will update the listing per agent requests and supplied information. This does not replace board membership, if your office is already a part of BSER you should consider a secondary membership with our association.

Reciprocal Listing Form

Please note – it can take 1-2 business days from the time of submission before the listing is placed active within the system. If you have any questions, please reach out to Kevin@bonitaesterorealtors.com
