Political Advocacy

The National Association of REALTORS® advocates every day on behalf of the nation's 1.3 million REALTORS® and 75 million property owners. NAR is widely considered one of the most effective advocacy organizations in the country.

We work for you by advocating for federal, state, and local policy initiatives that strengthen the ability of Americans to own, buy, and sell real property. We also work with you, by providing a wide variety of resources to foster and harness the grassroots strength of the REALTOR® Party.

The housing market has regained some health, with higher home sales and a very low foreclosure rate. However, the industry today is facing a different kind of crisis: not enough homes for sale.

Both the House and Senate are in session this week. What issues should REALTORS® follow? Oversight of the government sponsored enterprises.

Doctor Writing a Prescription in a Hospital

NAR recently co-founded a broad multi-industry coalition (ranging from state Farm Bureaus to NFIB) to promote and preserve the Department of Labor (DOL) final rule expanding access to Association Health Plans (AHPs).

NAR, in coalition with other real estate industry groups, joined a letter to the U.S. House of Representatives Leadership opposing legislative efforts to undermine the Supreme Court's ruling in South Dakota v. Wayfair, the case decided in June 2018 which gives states the authority to require online sellers to collect and remit sales tax.

REALTOR® Party

The REALTOR® Party is a powerful alliance of REALTORS® and REALTOR® Associations working to protect and promote homeownership and property investment.

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 the issues that are important to their profession and livelihood. Learn more.
