Your Best Investment in Real Estate

RAPAC funds are used to build the future by putting dollars in places that will advance the interests of REALTORS®

  • The REALTORS® of Arizona Political Action Committee (RAPAC) is a member-sponsored effort organized to financially support candidates running for local, state, and federal office whose position on real estate regulation and a free-market business environment most closely represent the initiatives of the Arizona REALTORS®. RAPAC contributes to and channels resources into races that will have the most impact on the real estate industry. RAPAC is a voluntary, non-profit political action committee and operates independently of any political party.

    RAPAC is a vital part of the Arizona REALTORS® Government Affairs program — a program that includes professional lobbying, legislative analysis, grassroots contacts, and long-term political relationships. RAPAC strives to educate city council members, legislators, and members of congress about our industry and guarantees that no decision is made that will affect our industry, good or bad, until our voice is heard.

  • Your investment in RAPAC safeguards your business and our industry as a whole. These issues range from HOA reform, water rights, property taxes and preserving the rights of property owners to name a few.

  • RAPAC is made up of voluntary investments from REALTOR® members all across the state.

  • The investments made to RAPAC through your local association, directly to the Arizona Association of REALTORS®, and to the National Association of REALTORS®, goes towards educating Arizona lawmakers on the issues that keep you up at night. Through your RAPAC dollars, AAR supports pro-real estate lawmakers and guarantee that no decision is made that will affect our industry, good or bad, until our voice is heard.

  • RAPAC investments are accepted at any time throughout the year. When all things are considered, $35 is a small investment for such a large return – protecting your business!

  • The Arizona Association of REALTORS® and RAPAC want to help you make more money, keep more of what you make, reduce your liability, and protect you from any undue burdens that will affect your business. Investing in RAPAC means protecting your professional rights.
