What real-estate-agent occupation donors give in federal races

Donors who entered REAL ESTATE AGENT as occupation account for $9,353,438 in itemized federal receipts in LobbyVault’s index of FEC.gov files. That sum sits on 35,729 contributions from 1,920 donor records. The three-word phrase is stored separately from REALTOR and REAL ESTATE BROKER if those keys did not normalize here. In compact millions the occupation total is $9.4 million.

Key figures

  • REAL ESTATE AGENT occupation itemizations sum to $9,353,438 from 35,729 contributions and 1,920 donors.
  • Mean amounts are about $262 per contribution and about $4,872 per donor record.
  • The phrase is stored separately from REALTOR unless the extract merged them.
  • Industry pages are a separate employer-side cut and should not be added to this total.

High-repeat property-license phrase, a $262 mean

$9,353,438, 35,729 itemizations, and 1,920 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $262. Mean dollars per donor record are about $4,872. Repeat giving is about 19 itemizations per donor record.

35,729 lines from 1,920 records is a high-repeat property-title stack. The $262 per-line mean is arithmetic on that volume, not a typical commission redirected to politics.

The packet has no residential-versus-commercial split, no state license field, and no median gift. A few large itemizations can lift the average.

REAL ESTATE AGENT is not REALTOR

The FEC record does not verify a real-estate license or NAR membership. Brokers, developers, and people who typed REALTOR sit on other keys unless the extract merged them. Best-efforts rules do not force a controlled vocabulary.

This page cites only $9,353,438, 35,729 contributions, and 1,920 donors. REALTOR, REAL ESTATE BROKER, and AGENT remain other keys unless the bulk extract merged them.

Donor records and overlapping property titles

1,920 donor records used REAL ESTATE AGENT on at least one matching itemization. Address variants split records. A person who listed REAL ESTATE AGENT on some gifts and REALTOR on others will appear in both occupation totals for those lines.

Occupation is stored per transaction. LobbyVault does not infer party from the property phrase.

Industry pages already group property employers

Industry pages group employers. REAL ESTATE AGENT as occupation is the donor’s job text, not the employer-industry code. Adding $9,353,438 to an industry total double-counts.

Open the REAL ESTATE AGENT occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to place the phrase next to REALTOR and broker titles.

Citation language

A usable sentence is: occupation equals REAL ESTATE AGENT, dollars equal $9,353,438, contributions equal 35,729, donors equal 1,920, sourced from FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.

Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code. 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; this guide does not invent a fourth occupation-level fact beyond $9,353,438, 35,729 contributions, and 1,920 donors. REALTOR stays on its own page unless the extract merged it into REAL ESTATE AGENT.

Reading REAL ESTATE AGENT next to REALTOR

REAL ESTATE AGENT in this extract is $9,353,438 on 35,729 itemizations from 1,920 donor records, or $9.4 million in compact millions. Those dollars are itemized activity on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov bulk data. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter the total. Refunds and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying schedules. People who type realtor, real estate broker, or agent may sit on other occupation pages. Only the exact REAL ESTATE AGENT key is in $9,353,438.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $262 per contribution and about $4,872 per donor record, with roughly 19 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. Combining REAL ESTATE AGENT with REALTOR without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster. 1,920 donor records on 35,729 lines is a high-repeat property-title pool, not a license census.

Industry pages group employer-side categories and should not be added to $9,353,438. A person who listed REAL ESTATE AGENT on some gifts and a neighboring title on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals REAL ESTATE AGENT, dollars equal $9,353,438, contributions equal 35,729, donors equal 1,920. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side.

Researchers who need cycle cuts, employer text, or recipient lists should leave this guide and open the live REAL ESTATE AGENT occupation hub. This file restates harvested packet facts only. Compact millions ($9.4 million) are the same headline amount as $9,353,438, rounded to one decimal place. Keep 35,729 contributions and 1,920 donor records in any sentence that quotes the dollars, so readers can see the high-repeat property phrase separately from REALTOR. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query. The occupation field is donor-supplied free text, not a state license. A citation that stays inside the packet names REAL ESTATE AGENT, $9,353,438, 35,729, and 1,920 together.
