Contributors grouped to REAL ESTATE BROKER on federal itemized receipts account for $612,216 in the 2012 election cycle, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. That slice is 654 contributions from 193 donors. The all-cycle REAL ESTATE BROKER total is $10,501,363. Cycle 2012 is 5.8% of that parent book. REAL ESTATE BROKER is grouped occupation text — not a NAR membership roll, not a state license file, and not a count of every broker who donated. This page joins that string to cycle 2012.

193 brokers in a presidential-year cell
One hundred ninety-three unique donors produced 654 itemized receipts totaling $612,216 in 2012. That is about 3.4 lines per donor and about $3,172 per donor ($612,216 ÷ 193). Mean gift size is about $936 ($612,216 ÷ 654). Compared with a four-donor title cell, this occupation window is a broader roster of itemized givers inside a presidential cycle. The Real Estate Broker 2012 overlay lists the disclosed names.
Five point eight percent of $10,501,363 sits in 2012. The leftover outside this cycle is $9,889,147, or 94.2%. Presidential-year volume in this cell is still a small share of the lifetime occupation book. Treating 2012 as the broker string’s FEC story would ignore more than nine-tenths of the published total.
Filers also write REALTOR, REAL ESTATE AGENT, REAL ESTATE, or a brokerage legal name. Those strings are other buckets if the pipeline stored them separately. LobbyVault does not merge NAR-style titles into one REAL ESTATE BROKER recode.
The REAL ESTATE BROKER parent across cycles
The parent grouping REAL ESTATE BROKER totals $10,501,363 across every cycle in this table. 2012 holds $612,216, or 5.8% of that book. Other windows hold $9,889,147 (94.2%). Reading only 2012 understates the parent; reading only the parent hides this two-year cell.
REAL ESTATE BROKER as stored text can cover residential agents, commercial brokers, and people who used a title instead of a firm. The FEC does not check state licenses. The $10,501,363 parent is every cycle combined for this exact grouping, not a housing-market index.
