REALTOR, BROKER, and REAL ESTATE AGENT, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack REAL ESTATE BROKER with REALTOR or REAL ESTATE AGENT into a single Massachusetts professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

REAL ESTATE BROKER receipts with a Massachusetts address

REAL ESTATE BROKER is a filer-entered string. The file does not confirm a Massachusetts broker license. The three-word string plus MA is the filter. The $44,876,243 national total is REAL ESTATE BROKER only. 11,039 donors produced 153,581 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 153,581 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Massachusetts (MA). This page locates the Massachusetts overlap. It does not name brokerages among the 308 Massachusetts donors.

Massachusetts as donor state

308 Massachusetts donors produced 3,220 contributions totaling $1,295,714. Donor state MA is the address on the record, not proof of a Massachusetts license, and not a limit to Massachusetts candidates. MA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Massachusetts license and not a limit to Massachusetts candidates. Greater Boston and the rest of the state share the same code.

The Massachusetts campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MA. This join is only REAL ESTATE BROKER. The Real Estate Broker occupation hub without Massachusetts still holds about 97.1% of the $44,876,243. Massachusetts’s state hub includes every occupation coded to MA. REAL ESTATE BROKER is only this filter.

What not to infer from Real Estate Broker plus Massachusetts

This page does not merge Realtor dollars, count licensed brokers, or claim that Broker-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. REAL ESTATE BROKER is not REALTOR. Those strings, if used, never enter the $1,295,714.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. REAL ESTATE BROKER is not a Massachusetts Division of Professional Licensure extract. Donor state MA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Brokerage names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Real Estate Broker filter

Subtract the Massachusetts dollars on this page from the national REAL ESTATE BROKER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded REAL ESTATE BROKER in every other state combined. That remainder ($43,580,529) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 308 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 3,220 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,295,714 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Massachusetts dollars, or only the REAL ESTATE BROKER national total, drops a key. Three hundred eight donors producing 3,220 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,295,714 headline.
