The REALTORS Political Action Committee (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 Transfer Taxes. Members who then contribute to RPAC not only help improve the business climate, but also reduce liability and ultimately receive direct savings.

The Association is currently running an RPAC Car Sweepstakes now through December 7th which gives members an opportunity to win a two-year lease on a Toyota Highlander! To enter, simply access the online investment page and make your 2018 investment. Members who have made a 2018 RPAC investment of $99 between April 1st, 2018 and December 7th, 2018 will be automatically entered to win!

The REALTOR brand is protected by the National Association of REALTORS, owner of the trademark. The term REALTOR denotes membership in the REALTOR Association and members are authorized to use the REALTOR® marks only to indicate that membership to NAR by using the marks with a member’s name or with the legal name of a member broker’s real estate business. The complete membership marks manual can be found here.

Technology has introduced new and efficient ways to communicate. Technology also brings some challenges to using the REALTOR marks correctly. In this Social Media Trademark FAQ, NAR provides the guidance needed to use the trademark appropriately.
