$1,519,896 in itemized individual contributions is the 2014-cycle join for the occupation grouping Realtor. FEC.gov aggregates count 1,345 contributions from 359 donors. The same grouping totals $34,870,820 across all cycles, so this midterm cell is about 4.4% of the lifetime occupation bucket β€” the same string as the 2012 Realtor join, crossed here with a different two-year window.

Key figures

  • $1,519,896 joins the Realtor occupation grouping to the 2014 FEC cycle.
  • 1,345 contributions from 359 donors make this a high-volume midterm cell.
  • 2014 is about 4.4% of the grouping’s $34,870,820 lifetime total.
  • Occupation text is self-reported; this join is 2014 only, not the occupation hub.

Realtor Γ— 2014, not the 2012 cell

The occupation hub for Realtor stacks every cycle into $34,870,820. Each cycle still gets its own relationship page. This one is 2014: $1,519,896 from 1,345 itemized gifts and 359 unique donors. It is not the 2012 overlay and not the hub.

Average contribution is about $1,130; average per donor is about $4,234. Those means sit near ordinary itemized individual gifts. Volume does most of the work in this midterm cell, as it does in the presidential-year cell for the same string.

Realtor here is still not a trade association’s PAC. It is the self-reported occupation/employer text, grouped.

A thinner share than a presidential Realtor cell

$1,519,896 divided by $34,870,820 is about 4.4%. Other windows hold about 95.6%. A midterm cell at 4.4% is a smaller share of the lifetime bucket than a presidential-year cell for the same occupation, which is consistent with lower national individual totals in midterms β€” a seasonal pattern, not a verdict on real-estate politics.

Parallel occupation pages such as Real Estate Agent remain separate if the pipeline stored them separately.

Questions

How much did Realtor-labeled donors give in 2014?
The Realtor grouping’s 2014 cell is $1,519,896 in itemized individual contributions, from 1,345 contributions and 359 donors, based on FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not an association PAC total and not the $34,870,820 all-cycle occupation total.
Is this the same as the Realtor 2012 page?
No. Both pages share the same occupation grouping and the same lifetime total of $34,870,820, but the cycle keys differ. 2014 is $1,519,896 from 359 donors. This join is only the 2014 overlap. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
Is Realtor the National Association of Realtors?
No. This bucket is the self-reported occupation string Realtor on individual contribution records. A trade association’s committee filings are a different FEC form stream. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
Does this money connect to federal housing spending?
No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards are published by USAspending. This relationship page does not merge the two. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
