REALTOR occupation itemizations in FEC data

High line count, smaller mean gift

243,658 itemizations against $49,791,079 implies about $204 per contribution, well below REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER’s mean line in this harvest. 10,968 donor records imply about $4,540 per donor and about 22 contributions per donor record. The shape is high-frequency itemizing rather than a few large developer checks.

That contrast is between strings, not a verified agent-versus-developer census. People choose REALTOR, REAL ESTATE, or another phrase. This overlay cites only $49,791,079, 243,658 contributions, and 10,968 donors.

Real estate agent and broker are other strings if that is what appeared after normalization.

Self-reporting versus membership

The FEC does not match occupation to the National Association of Realtors. People who are not members may still type REALTOR. Members who wrote REAL ESTATE land on that page instead. Best-efforts collection records the donor’s word.

Association PAC spending is a committee-side FEC category and is not in these three occupation facts.

Occupation versus industry

Industry pages group employer categories. Brokerages and developers can sit behind different occupation strings. Adding occupation and industry dollars double-counts overlapping rows.

10,968 is a contributor-record count, not a license census. Address variants can split people. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $49.8 million. That compact figure is the same headline amount as the full dollar total on this page, rounded to one decimal place in millions.

Using the three property hubs

Open the REALTOR occupation page for this string’s rows. Use the occupations index to see REAL ESTATE and REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER as separate keys. Do not assign party from the title.

Source: Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault. Unitemized receipts are omitted. Harvested facts have no cycle year. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $49.8 million. That compact figure is the same headline amount as the full dollar total on this page, rounded to one decimal place in millions.

Limits

Live filters may change displayed sums. These three numbers do not measure housing-policy outcomes or MLS volume. They are occupation-string totals on itemized individual receipts.

Researchers comparing occupation keys should keep REALTOR on its own line with its own dollar, contribution, and donor facts. The occupations index is the inventory of neighboring strings. Industry pages remain an employer-side cut and should not be added to this occupation total. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so $49.8 million is itemized activity for this string in the loaded extract. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $49.8 million. That compact figure is the same headline amount as the full dollar total on this page, rounded to one decimal place in millions. Compact millions for this occupation string appear in the lede as a rounded form of the same headline dollar total.

REALTOR frequency versus developer-sized means

REALTOR is $49.8 million on 243,658 itemizations from 10,968 donor records. About 22 itemizations per donor record and about $204 per line describe high-frequency agent-style itemizing, in contrast to REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER’s thinner stack and higher mean gift. REAL ESTATE is a third key. Membership in a realtor association is not verified by the FEC occupation field.

Association PAC spending is a committee category and is not in $49,791,079. 10,968 is not a license census. Industry pages will not equal this occupation total. For citation, occupation equals REALTOR, contributions equal 243,658, donors equal 10,968, dollars equal $49,791,079. Keep the three property titles on separate lines. REALTOR is high-frequency agent-style itemizing: 10,968 donor records, 243,658 itemizations, $49.8 million, about $204 per line. Association PAC spending is not in those facts. Membership is not verified. REAL ESTATE and REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER remain outside. Use the occupation page for rows and the occupations index for the neighboring property strings.
