Why RPAC Matters: Turning REALTOR® Advocacy into Results

February 27, 2026

Every REALTOR® benefits from strong advocacy — and those advocacy wins don’t happen by accident. They happen because REALTORS® invest in the REALTORS® Political Action Committee (ARPAC) and ensure our industry has a seat at the table when critical decisions are made at all levels of government.

In 2025, that investment delivered measurable results:

  • Major Tax Reform Wins for Real Estate - This year’s federal tax reform legislation included five key NAR priorities that protect both real estate professionals and consumers.
  • Protecting Veteran Home Loan Benefits - The National Association of REALTORS® successfully fought to ensure veterans can continue to use a REALTOR® when purchasing a home with their VA Home Loan benefit. This victory safeguards access, representation, and fairness for those who have served our country.
  • Securing Property Tax Relief - Georgia Lawmakers passed legislation implementing mandatory statewide property tax caps, limiting how quickly home values can be assessed (tied to inflation) for primary residences.
  • Significantly Reducing Commercial Transportation Impact Fees - In collaboration with Forsyth County business leaders and partner organizations, 400 North successfully advocated for a significant rollback of the proposed commercial transportation fees.
RPAC is not a party-based investment — it is a pro-REALTOR®, pro-property rights investment. It supports candidates who understand the real estate industry and the critical role it plays in local communities and the national economy.
