Chair’s Letter

Walking Event in South Florida – Thank You!

In March 2026, the South Florida Chapter put together a different kind of event, and it is worth recognizing. About 25 members, along with family and affiliates, met at Spanish River Park in Boca Raton for an early Saturday walk. There was no agenda, just a few miles and time to talk.

What stood out was how refreshing the format felt and how good it was to see new faces in a more relaxed setting. When you keep things informal, conversations open up and relationships build faster. That is where trust starts, and that is what ultimately drives cobrokerage and done deals.

Huge credit to South District President Mark Habib for pushing the idea and organizing everything (including custom BBF t-shirts and plenty of water) and to those who supported it. Mark’s efforts were more than we could have asked for! Hopefully, every chapter can take these kinds of ideas and “run” with them.

This is also where the upcoming BBF Conference fits in. I am confident you’ll learn in the classroom – absolutely. But you’ll also learn in the hallways, at the lunch table or over a cocktail – and meet the people you will work with on deals over the next few years – which is just as valuable. I encourage you to make the effort to attend! Check out the Agenda At A Glance and look for registration to open in early June.
