RPAC
Protecting the Future of Real Estate Through Advocacy
Decisions made at the State House and in Washington, D.C., directly impact your business, your clients, and the communities you serve.
The REALTOR® Political Action Committee (RPAC) helps ensure REALTORS® have a voice in those decisions by supporting candidates who understand the importance of private property rights, homeownership, housing opportunities, and a strong real estate industry.
RPAC is nonpartisan. Candidates are evaluated based on their positions and actions on issues important to REALTORS®, not simply their political party affiliation.
Why Invest in RPAC?
Because real estate is shaped by public policy. From housing regulations and property taxes to homeownership incentives and real estate business practices, legislative decisions can have a lasting impact.
Your investment helps strengthen the REALTOR® voice at the local, state, and national levels.
Your Investment, Your Choice.
There Are Several Ways to Support REALTOR® Advocacy. Not all advocacy investments support the same activities. Some help elect REALTOR®-friendly candidates, while others fund research, public education, or grassroots advocacy.
