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.

National Advocacy News

NAR supported Ms. Kraninger’s confirmation as a thoughtful, experienced leader who will ensure necessary transparency of Bureau activities and rulemakings.

NAR participated in a roundtable hosted by the the Small Business Administration and the U.S. Department of Justice for interested stakeholders on issues related to website accessibility, physical accessibility and service animals. NAR shared concerns related to clear website accessibility standards and some of the proposed requirements that ignore practical challenges.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a one-week extension of the National Flood Insurance Program, preventing lapse of this important program.

The program is being extended as part of a temporary appropriations bill called a continuing resolution to avoid a partial shutdown of the federal government. The legislation will move the funding deadline for fiscal 2019 spending bills that are still outstanding to Dec. 21, 2018.

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.
