The REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) is what stands between you and the constant threats to your business – a sales tax on your commission, higher taxes on your business and increasing the Real Estate Taxes. Members who then contribute to RPAC not only help improve the business climate, but also reduce liability and ultimately receive direct savings.
Throughout the year, members are encouraged to make a voluntary financial contribution that really is an investment in the future of the industry. 100% of your contribution is used to elect pro-REALTOR® candidates, regardless of party affiliation.
