RPAC: Protecting the Dream of Homeownership

The REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) helps ensure that the voices of REALTORS® across Vermont and our nation are heard when laws and policies affecting real estate are being considered.

Every day, decisions made in Montpelier and Washington influence the way REALTORS® conduct business and the ability of Vermonters to buy, sell, and own property.

Through RPAC, REALTORS® support candidates who understand the importance of private property rights, housing opportunity, and a healthy real estate market.

RPAC allows REALTORS® to speak with a strong, unified voice on issues that matter to our profession, our clients, and our communities.

Why RPAC Matters

Public policy directly impacts real estate in Vermont.

Issues such as housing supply, land use regulations, property taxes, environmental policies, permitting processes, and financing programs all affect the real estate market and the clients REALTORS® serve.RPAC helps support candidates who recognize:

The importance of private property rights
The need to increase housing opportunities across Vermont
The role real estate plays in strengthening local economies
The value REALTORS® bring to communities and consumers

When REALTORS® invest in RPAC, they help ensure policymakers understand the real-world impact their decisions have on housing and property ownership.

How RPAC Works

RPAC is a voluntary, non-partisan political action committee. RPAC investments help support candidates who demonstrate a commitment to issues important to the real estate profession.

Candidates are evaluated based on their understanding of housing policy, property rights, and economic issues affecting real estate.

Support may include candidates for:

Vermont Legislature
Statewide offices
Local offices
U.S. Congress

RPAC is not about political parties. It is about supporting leaders who understand and support policies that strengthen homeownership and the real estate industry. WATCH: How RPAC Works
