Real Estate Broker money in the 2012 FEC cycle

Real Estate Broker as occupation, 2012 as cycle

Two keys define this page. One is the occupation string REAL ESTATE BROKER. The other is the 2012 federal election cycle. The match is $3,729,455, built from 6,074 contributions and 2,532 unique donors. Drop either key and the number changes. Six thousand-plus presidential-year gifts from 2,532 donors is a high-count cell. Mean line size is modest. The 2014 broker cell in this slice is a different cycle key with its own contribution and donor counts.

Average contribution is about $614; average per donor is about $1,473. Those means are arithmetic on the 2012 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. About 2.4 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio, not a headcount of unique humans behind every spelling variant.

Broker is not REALTOR and not developer

REAL ESTATE BROKER is a three-word occupation key. REALTOR and REAL ESTATE are shorter strings with their own 2012 cells in this slice. The FEC does not verify broker licenses. Combining those keys without naming each source total mixes buckets.

$44,876,243 is every cycle combined for REAL ESTATE BROKER. $3,729,455 in 2012 is about 8.3% of that stack. Other windows hold about 91.7% ($41,146,788). A cycle cell at 8.3% is a chapter, not the occupation’s full FEC history. REALTOR, REAL ESTATE, and REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER are other occupation pages if stored separately. Combining them without naming each source total mixes keys.

2,532 donors and 6,074 gifts in 2012

2,532 unique donors against 6,074 contributions implies some repeat giving inside the 2012 window. Primaries, generals, and multiple committees all add rows. One person can appear more than once if addresses or names vary. Unitemized gifts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter $3,729,455.

A title on a form is not an employment verification. People using a household occupation, a retired title, or a short status word can all land in the same cell. LobbyVault does not recode REAL ESTATE BROKER into a NAICS industry or a licensing roster. Recipients of the campaign gifts live on the occupation hub and the 2012 cycle hub.

About 8.3% of a $44.9 million occupation stack

8.3% is $3,729,455 divided by $44,876,243. Reading only 2012 understates the parent occupation book. Reading only the parent hides that this cycle’s share is 8.3%. The leftover outside 2012 is $41,146,788. Those other-cycle dollars are not itemized on this relationship page.

Presidential-year and midterm windows are different FEC two-year clocks. This page cites cycle 2012 only. A later or earlier cell for the same occupation string is a different join even when the occupation total $44,876,243 is shared.

What a Real Estate Broker–2012 join cannot claim

This join does not measure listings or commissions. It does not attach MLS IDs to FEC rows. HUD awards and housing grants are USAspending records, not this packet.

The page does not identify employers, does not convert occupation text into a corporate gift, and does not link FEC receipts to USAspending obligations. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. Correlation between a job title and a cycle total is not causation. Cite $3,729,455, 6,074 contributions, and 2,532 donors for Real Estate Broker in 2012. Cite $44,876,243 for the all-cycle occupation grouping. Name FEC.gov.

Related Real Estate Broker and 2012 tables

Real Estate Broker donations is the occupation hub behind $44,876,243. The 2012 election cycle page is the cycle census across occupations. All occupations lists other strings. All FEC ties collects other occupation-cycle pairs from the same two fields. Live hubs override this snapshot. If a hub disagrees with $3,729,455, 6,074 gifts, or 2,532 donor IDs, the hub and FEC.gov control.

Keep the occupation string REAL ESTATE BROKER attached to $3,729,455 whenever the sentence also names cycle 2012. Keep 6,074 contributions and 2,532 donors in the same citation so readers can see whether Real Estate Broker in 2012 is a high-volume stack or a concentrated roster. The all-cycle occupation total $44,876,243 answers a different question: every window combined, not this two-year clock. Unitemized receipts, independent expenditures, and state-office campaigns sit outside this extract. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov is the source.

No. This cell is the self-reported string REAL ESTATE BROKER matched to cycle 2012. REALTOR, REAL ESTATE, and REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER are other keys if stored separately.
