Real Estate Agent occupation money in the 2012 FEC cycle

Real Estate Agent as occupation, 2012 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation REAL ESTATE AGENT and election cycle 2012. Matching rows sum to $596,296, 709 contributions, and 335 donors. Drop either key and the number changes. Realtor, real estate broker, real estate, and salesperson are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into an NAR membership file, a state real-estate license roster, or a brokerage PAC. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet except as the remainder on the occupation hub.

Parent hubs: Real Estate Agent donations at /occupations/real-estate-agent/ and the 2012 election cycle at /election-cycles/2012/. All occupations at /occupations/ lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties at /ties/ keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $596,296 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Real Estate Agent in 2012 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $596,296. Residential versus commercial versus independent versus franchise desks is unpublished for Real Estate Agent in 2012. The occupation page and the 2012 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees. Hundreds of donor keys and seven hundred receipts is a mid-scale licensed-sounding sales-title cell.

REAL ESTATE AGENT, not realtor or broker

$9.4 million ($9,353,438) belongs to the exact string REAL ESTATE AGENT across harvested cycles. It is not an NAR membership file, a state real-estate license roster, or a brokerage PAC. People who wrote nearby wording — realtor, real estate broker, real estate, and salesperson — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2012 slice is 6.4% of that title bucket ($596,296 of $9,353,438). Share of REAL ESTATE AGENT is not share of all 2012 receipts. The remainder, $8,757,142, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $596,296. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $9,353,438. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Real Estate Agent donations and the live 2012 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $596,296.

335 real-estate-agent donors and 709 receipts in 2012

335 donors and 709 receipts — about 2.1 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $841; mean per donor about $1,780. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. Hundreds of donor keys and seven hundred receipts is a mid-scale licensed-sounding sales-title cell. No median is published in this packet.

Repeat gifts add receipts. 709 is a line count, not 335 one-time gifts. Residential versus commercial versus independent versus franchise desks is not encoded in the occupation string. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by REAL ESTATE AGENT. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $596,296. Commercial Real Estate as an industry phrase is a different occupation key. Do not merge it into this agent-title cell.

Agent title versus association PACs

Cite $596,296 as Real Estate Agent in 2012. Cite $9,353,438 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add realtor-association PAC filings to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $596,296 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 6.4%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode REAL ESTATE AGENT into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a license class. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. Correlation is not causation: a presidential-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset. USAspending.gov awards are a different ledger. This page does not claim that 2012 donations funded contracts or grants.

How to cite Real Estate Agent money in 2012

A clean footnote names occupation REAL ESTATE AGENT, election cycle 2012, $596,296 in itemized individual contributions, 709 receipts, and 335 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $841 per line and $1,780 per donor in the cell. If the live Real Estate Agent donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 709 as unique workers in the trade named by REAL ESTATE AGENT.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Real Estate Agent donations rolls every cycle into one REAL ESTATE AGENT running total. The 2012 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2012 total. Only the Real Estate Agent × 2012 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 709 receipts and $596,296. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.

Occupation hub, 2012 hub, and realtor as a sibling

The occupation hub still holds $8,757,142 outside 2012. Most of the $9,353,438 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. Commercial Real Estate as an industry phrase is a different occupation key. Do not merge it into this agent-title cell. Gifts per donor in 2012 average about 2.1. That ratio is 709 divided by 335, not a measure of turnout. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
