What is RPAC?
RPAC stands for REALTORS® Political Action Committee.
It’s a voluntary organization that raises money from REALTORS® to help elect candidates who support the real estate industry. RPAC is a bipartisan PAC, all contributions are used to elect pro-REALTOR® candidates, regardless of party affiliation.
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.
