REALTOR
Contributors who listed REALTOR on federal itemized receipts account for $34.9M, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 90,614 contributions from 2,100 donors. REALTOR is a self-reported employer/occupation string — often a membership-style title — not a NAICS brokerage sector, and it is not merged with REAL ESTATE, DEVELOPER, or a franchise office name. Association PACs are committees, not this individual-label rollup.
Key figures
- REALTOR-labeled receipts total $34.9M.
- 2,100 donors produced 90,614 contribution lines.
- REAL ESTATE and brokerage names are separate FEC strings.
- REALTOR is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry.
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.

Questions
- How much have REALTOR donors given federally?
- LobbyVault attributes $34.9M to the REALTOR FEC string, from 90,614 contributions and 2,100 donors. REAL ESTATE is a separate row. The figure is not a NAICS brokerage total and not an association PAC. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
- Is REALTOR the same as REAL ESTATE in the data?
- No. They are different free-text values. REAL ESTATE totals the REAL ESTATE total on its page; REALTOR totals $34.9M here. LobbyVault does not merge them. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
- Does this include the Realtors' PAC?
- This page sums itemized individual receipts grouped under REALTOR. Association committees are other FEC objects. Named brokerages are other industry keys. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
- How many unique REALTOR donors are listed?
- The rollup counts 2,100 donors and 90,614 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not a membership census. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC 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.
