REALTORS® have a direct voice in shaping legislation that protects private property rights and supports a strong real estate market. These decisions don’t just impact the industry—they directly affect your ability to do business, close transactions, and earn a living.
One of the most effective ways to get involved is through the REALTOR Party, which helps support pro-REALTOR® candidates, important advocacy work, statewide ballot initiatives and more. We need your help especially now as we are gearing up to fight a rent control ballot initiative in Massachusetts that could greatly harm our housing stock and our residents! When you see the power of the party on your business bottom line, you will realize that the work we are doing matters a great deal to your wallet!
Go to www.MARealtor.com/invest-rpac to calculate the actual financial impact that our efforts have made for you and your clients. And to clear up a misunderstanding, it’s not all about candidates, although that is one spoke in the legislative action wheel we move our message forward with:
- RPAC (Political Action Committee): Supports REALTOR®-friendly candidates for public office
- PAF (Public Advocacy Fund): Supports issue-based advocacy and lobbying efforts
- MRECA (Massachusetts Real Estate Competitiveness Account): Supports independent expenditures and broader political initiatives.
From housing supply and zoning to taxes and transaction-related policies, the outcomes of these decisions can directly impact your pipeline, your clients, and ultimately your bottom line.
