REAL ESTATE BROKER

Contributors who listed REAL ESTATE BROKER on federal itemized receipts account for $10,501,363, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 29,214 contributions from 965 donors. REAL ESTATE BROKER is a three-word job title placed in the employer box, not a NAICS real-estate-agent total, and not a Realtors PAC. REALTOR, REAL ESTATE, and REAL ESTATE BROKER’s shorter siblings sit on other pages. Packet facts for this page are $10,501,363, 29,214 contributions, and 965 donors, with top employer REAL ESTATE BROKER. Unitemized gifts never appear in that total. LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov individual receipts, not NAICS 5312 offices of agents and brokers.

Key figures

  • REAL ESTATE BROKER as FEC employer text totals $10,501,363 from 965 donors.
  • 29,214 contribution lines sit under that three-word title.
  • REALTOR and REAL ESTATE are separate FEC keys.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS real-estate sector.

A license title in the employer field

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. Brokers often type REAL ESTATE BROKER instead of a brokerage legal name. The $10,501,363 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not National Association of Realtors PAC spending, not MLS transaction volume, and not a NAICS 5312 rollup of offices of real-estate agents and brokers.

People who typed REALTOR, REAL ESTATE, a named brokerage, or SELF-EMPLOYED without this three-word string sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into REAL ESTATE BROKER. The FEC field records stored text, not a state license roster.

965 donors and 29,214 lines

965 unique donors produced 29,214 REAL ESTATE BROKER contribution lines totaling $10,501,363. That is on the order of 30 itemized receipts per donor. Line volume sits between thinner partnership rows and high-payroll employer clusters in this dollar band. The packet does not publish a mean gift as its own FEC field.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and association PAC filings are outside the $10,501,363 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Repeat names among 29,214 lines are expected.

Questions

How much have REAL ESTATE BROKER-listed donors given federally?
LobbyVault attributes $10,501,363 to the REAL ESTATE BROKER employer string, from 29,214 contributions and 965 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not a Realtors PAC and not a NAICS real-estate-agent total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted from that figure.
Is this the same as REALTOR or REAL ESTATE?
No. REALTOR and REAL ESTATE are separate employer strings with their own pages. The $10,501,363 total is only receipts whose grouped text is REAL ESTATE BROKER. Named brokerages sit in other keys. Figures here are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault.
Is this National Association of Realtors PAC spending?
No. These are itemized individual contributions. Association PAC filings are other FEC categories. The industry headline does not include independent expenditures unless the receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.
How many unique donors listed REAL ESTATE BROKER?
The rollup counts 965 donors and 29,214 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count β€” on the order of 30 itemized receipts per donor. This is not a state license headcount. Coverage is itemized federal receipts only. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Data from FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
