RPAC

RPAC: Your Best Investment in Real Estate

What does RPAC stand for when it comes to real estate? It is the REALTORS® Political Action Committee. Since 1969, the REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) has promoted the election of pro-REALTOR® candidates across the United States. The purpose of RPAC is clear: REALTORS® raise and spend money to elect candidates who understand and support their interests. The money to accomplish this comes from voluntary contributions made by REALTORS®. The National Association of REALTORS® has determined an agent’s “Fair Share” is $40 and a broker’s fair share is $150.
