Florida’s real estate world enters 2026 with a powerful new leadership shift. Chuck Bonfiglio, respected broker‑owner of AAA Realty Group in Plantation, has officially stepped in as President of Florida Realtors — the state’s largest trade association representing more than 230,000 professionals.

Announced during the organization’s 2026 Mid‑Winter Business Meetings in Orlando, Bonfiglio highlighted the state’s evolving market landscape and the fresh opportunities ahead. “Stepping into this role, I’m encouraged by the momentum we’re seeing across Florida,” he said. “We stay focused on what’s in our members’ best interest.”

Affordability, Insurance, and Taxes Still in the Spotlight

Bonfiglio emphasized ongoing priorities impacting both homeowners and professionals. Taxes, insurance, and affordability continue to dominate discussions as Florida develops long‑term solutions. Encouraging trends — including stabilizing home prices, rising inventory, and easing interest rates — are helping reshape the landscape.

Florida’s 2023 property insurance reforms are finally taking root. More insurers are entering the market, while many homeowners are beginning to experience long‑awaited relief. With families and businesses continuing to migrate to Florida, these improvements help fuel ongoing housing demand statewide.

A Leader With Deep Roots in the Realtor Community

Bonfiglio’s leadership journey is extensive. A longtime member of Broward, Palm Beaches & St. Lucie Realtors — and former President of the association — he has spent more than a decade serving on state and national Realtor committees. His steady progression includes roles as Secretary (2022), Treasurer (2023), Vice President (2024), President‑Elect (2025), and now President for 2026.

His 2026 agenda centers on advocacy, innovation, and empowering real estate professionals with the tools and insight they need to support their communities. “Affordability remains a major focus,” he added, stressing the importance of reliable information in a fast‑moving market.

Meet the 2026 Florida Realtors Leadership Team

Bonfiglio is joined by a powerhouse leadership group: President‑Elect Jorge Guerra Jr., Vice President Jeff Levine, Treasurer Cyndee Haydon, Secretary Fernando Arencibia Jr., and CEO Margy Grant. Together, they are poised to guide the association through another year of transformation.

Why This Matters for Florida’s Real Estate Professionals

Leadership transitions like this influence not only Realtors, but also buyers, sellers, investors, and Florida communities. With the state navigating rapid population growth, insurance reform, and affordability concerns, strong leadership is essential.

For agents — whether experienced or just beginning their journey — this moment highlights the importance of staying educated and proactive.
