What property-manager donors give in federal races
Donors who entered PROPERTY MANAGER as occupation account for $7,719,916 in itemized federal receipts in LobbyVault’s index of FEC.gov files.

Key figures
- PROPERTY MANAGER occupation itemizations sum to $7,719,916 from 40,603 contributions and 1,611 donors.
- Mean amounts are about $190 per contribution and about $4,792 per donor record.
- The two-word title is donor-typed Form 3/3X text, not a verified license roster.
- Industry pages are a separate employer-side cut and should not be added to this total.
High-volume operations title, a $190 mean
$7,719,916, 40,603 itemizations, and 1,611 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $190. Mean dollars per donor record are about $4,792. Repeat giving is about 25 itemizations per donor record.
40,603 lines from 1,611 records is a high-repeat operations-title stack. The $190 per-line mean is arithmetic on that volume, not a typical management fee redirected to politics. A few large itemizations can lift the average while most lines remain smaller.
1,611 donor records on 40,603 lines is a high-repeat operations pool: about 25 itemizations per record. The $190 per-line mean is closer to CONTROLLER than to BOARD MEMBER. The packet has no residential-versus-commercial split, no license field, and no party flag, so $7,719,916 cannot be read as a licensed-manager census.
PROPERTY MANAGER is not REAL ESTATE BROKER
The FEC record does not verify that the donor holds a property-management or real-estate license. On-site staff, owners who self-manage, and retirees can all type PROPERTY MANAGER. Best-efforts rules do not force a real-estate taxonomy.
This page cites only $7,719,916, 40,603 contributions, and 1,611 donors. REALTOR, REAL ESTATE, and LANDLORD remain other keys unless the bulk extract merged them. Combining those strings without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC occupation to a homemade cluster.
Donor records and dual real-estate titles
1,611 donor records used PROPERTY MANAGER on at least one matching itemization. Address variants split records. A person who listed PROPERTY MANAGER on some gifts and OWNER on others will appear in both occupation totals for those lines.
Occupation is stored per transaction. LobbyVault does not infer party or portfolio size from the two-word string. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter $7,719,916.
Committees receiving these itemizations are not named in the packet. The 40,603 lines are occupation-side totals only. Refunds, redesignations, and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Do not treat $7,719,916 as net of refunds unless a later extract says so.
Industry pages group landlords, not this title
Industry pages group employer-side categories. A residential manager and a commercial manager share this occupation string if they typed PROPERTY MANAGER. Adding $7,719,916 to an industry total double-counts.
Open the PROPERTY MANAGER occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to place the string next to other real-estate titles.
PROPERTY MANAGER dollars of $7,719,916 sit on 40,603 itemizations from 1,611 donor records. High line count with a $190 mean is the citation pattern, not a typical management fee. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code and never enter this total.
Citation language
A usable sentence is: occupation equals PROPERTY MANAGER, dollars equal $7,719,916, contributions equal 40,603, donors equal 1,611, sourced from FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.
Quote the three facts together so the high-repeat mean is visible next to the headline dollars. Refunds and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying schedules.

The packet has no residential-versus-commercial split and no party field. 1,611 donor records on 40,603 lines is a high-repeat operations-title pool, not a census of licensed managers.
Industry pages should not be added to $7,719,916. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals PROPERTY MANAGER, dollars equal $7,719,916, contributions equal 40,603, donors equal 1,611.
PROPERTY MANAGER, REALTOR, and LANDLORD can describe overlapping people in ordinary speech and remain separate FEC strings.

Owner-operators who typed OWNER on some gifts and PROPERTY MANAGER on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines.
