REALTORS® Political Action Committee

Why should I contribute to RPAC?

REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) affects your business! Although RPAC is the #1 political action committee in the country, it's more than just a lobbying effort or a commitee. While RPAC protects private property rights that help consumers. RPAC canalso change the way you do business by affecting the federal, state, or local laws that govern real estate.

RPAC is the muscle behind NAR, RPAC represents over 1.3 million politically active REALTORS® that members of Congress want as their friends. Recent legislative and regulatory success include:

  • The continued preservation of the mortgage interest deduction

  • Tax relief benefiting the real estate industry

  • Improving federal mortgage programs, allowing more families to join the ranks of homeownership

  • Successfully keeping "mega-banks" from entering the real estate business

On a state and local level, RPAC has helped to:

  • Protect commercial commissions through the foreclosure process

  • Prohibit cities and counties from charging individual real estate agents a business license fee

  • Fought and won a battle against a 100% increase in real estate transfer tax

  • Fought and won to keep municipal government from "taking" land in a stream buffer ordinance
