The REALTOR® Party is a powerful alliance of REALTORS® and REALTOR® Associations
working to advance public policies and candidates that build strong communities,
protect property interests and promote a vibrant business environment.
What is RPAC?
The answer is simple. RPAC makes a big difference in your bottom line, and here’s how: contributing to RPAC supports efforts to elevate awareness of issues that impact the way the industry operates. RPAC supports legislators and candidates who support REALTOR® issues ensuring an environment of opportunity and success for REALTORS®… for you. And RPAC facilitates the attention that we bring to regulations and policies that affect home buyers and property rights. Would your business be impacted by the elimination of the mortgage interest deduction or a 500 percent increase in the deductible a client would have to pay for underground oil tank clean up and repair?

NAR RPAC Major Investor Recognition Program: While any contribution of $15 or more counts towards your investment in RPAC, becoming a Major Investor closes the gap on money needed to effectively represent the profession and the industry. RPAC's Major Investor program consists of giving a minimum annual investment of $1000 or more.
The Hall of Fame recognizes dedicated members who have made a significant commitment to RPAC over the years by investing an aggregate lifetime amount of at least $25,000. Among the Hall of Fame benefits are name plaques on the RPAC Hall of Fame wall located on NAR's Washington D.C. building rooftop, personal plaque commemorating the installation and recognition pins with the Hall of Fame designation.
