There's $0 due monthly or annually, you are just required to keep your license active with the state.

📰 BREAKING NEWS:
Paradise Exclusive Rebrands as "Bungalows & Bellinis"
“Serving bubbly charm with a side of beachfront bliss.”

After years of being the #1 brokerage in town, the Paradise Exclusive team has decided to stop taking themselves so seriously — and start taking their brunch cocktails more seriously instead.

“Why grind when you can grind sugar on the rim?” said the new Chief Leisure Officer, who was interviewed poolside in a flamingo floatie.

Effective immediately, we are rebranding to ‘Bungalows & Bellinis’, a bold and bubbly move designed to reflect what we all truly want from real estate — a coastal bungalow, a sparkling Bellini, and an open house that doubles as a happy hour.

Our new approach includes:

Showings by paddleboard only

Closings conducted at the tiki bar

New dress code: linen required, shoes prohibited

Open house charcuterie boards now legally considered binding contracts

Every closing comes with a complimentary “Cheers & Deeds” toast

"This changes everything," said absolutely no one in legal.
But honestly, we don’t care — because we’re too busy perfecting the peach puree-to-prosecco ratio.

Welcome to the new era of coastal luxury.
Welcome to Bungalows & Bellinis. 🍾🏡🌴

Happy April Fools Day Everyone!
