REALTOR on FEC filings: $34.9M itemized

A license-style word versus a sector word

REAL ESTATE is the sector phrase (the REAL ESTATE total on that page). REALTOR is the title many agents type. FEC storage does not treat them as one. The $34.9M total is REALTOR only.

NAICS 5312 is not applied. People who typed a brokerage brand are in other employer keys.

2,100 donors and 90,614 lines

2,100 donors produced 90,614 REALTOR contribution lines totaling $34.9M. Unique-donor count is smaller than the REAL ESTATE row's a separate donor count. Repeat giving explains receipts above unique donors.

Party share is not on this industry headline. Follow committees on the donor table.

DEVELOPER is a different ambiguity

DEVELOPER may mean property or software; FEC text does not say. Those receipts are not inside $34.9M. CONTRACTOR is another neighboring construction-adjacent word.

Occupation pages show when occupation is REALTOR and employer is a brand — harvest may send the line to the brand. The membership mark REALTOR is a trademark in trade usage and a free-text string in FEC storage. The $34.9M total is 2,100 donors and 90,614 lines with that stored word. LobbyVault does not verify association membership. Brokerage brands remain other employer keys.

Donor table

The REALTOR donor table lists disclosed names and amounts. A large gift is a public contribution. It is not evidence about a listing, a MLS, or a housing bill. LobbyVault does not infer motive from the title.

Trademark capitalization (REALTOR) is preserved as stored; this page follows the FEC string. REAL ESTATE is the sector phrase, with its own total. People who typed that phrase instead of REALTOR are not in the 2,100. A combined housing recode must list both keys plus DEVELOPER if you include it, and must say so.

Source

FEC.gov via LobbyVault: $34.9M, 90,614 contributions, 2,100 donors, top employer REALTOR. Unitemized and non-federal activity are omitted.

Follow recipient committees from the table. State real-estate commissions license salespeople. This FEC row does not copy those rosters. A license search belongs on the commission site; political-money search belongs on the 90,614-line table.

Membership marks versus sector phrases versus PACs

REALTOR is often a membership-style title. The $34.9M total, 90,614 contribution lines, and 2,100 donors omit REAL ESTATE (the sector phrase), brokerage brands, and association PACs. Unitemized gifts and state races are omitted. LobbyVault does not verify National Association of Realtors membership from this string.

DEVELOPER remains a separate ambiguous word. Occupation pages show REALTOR as occupation with a brand employer — harvest may send the line to the brand. Open the REALTOR donor table for names and committees. The title is self-reported FEC text, not NAICS 5312, from FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Association PACs stay on committee schedules. Cite $34.9M as individual REALTOR-string receipts from FEC.gov via LobbyVault, not NAICS 5312 and not an association budget. Trademark usage in the trade does not make REALTOR a verified membership flag in FEC storage. The $34.9M total is 2,100 donors and 90,614 lines with the stored word. Brokerage brands remain other employer keys. REAL ESTATE at the REAL ESTATE total with a separate donor count donors is the sector phrase people type instead. A housing recode that adds DEVELOPER as well must list all keys. State commissions license salespeople; this table does not copy those rosters. Association PACs remain committees. Occupation pages show REALTOR as occupation with a brand employer; harvest may send those lines to the brand. Unitemized gifts and state races are omitted. Cite $34.9M from FEC.gov via LobbyVault, not NAICS 5312. Membership marks in advertising are not membership flags in FEC storage. REALTOR here is $34.9M, 2,100 donors, 90,614 lines. Brokerage brands are other employer keys. REAL ESTATE at the REAL ESTATE total and a separate donor count donors is the sector phrase. Adding DEVELOPER requires a methods note. State commissions license salespeople elsewhere. Association PACs remain committees. Occupation pages catch brand-plus-REALTOR mixes. FEC.gov via LobbyVault stores the title word, not NAICS 5312. A franchise office named as employer usually leaves the 2,100 REALTOR donors. REAL ESTATE at the REAL ESTATE total is the sector phrase. $34.9M stays on REALTOR as typed. FEC.gov via LobbyVault does not verify association membership.
