Realtor occupation money in the 2012 FEC cycle

Realtor as occupation, 2012 as cycle

Two keys define this page. One is the occupation string REALTOR. The other is the 2012 federal election cycle. The match is $3,540,941, built from 4,892 contributions and 2,117 unique donors. Drop either key and the number changes. Nearly five thousand presidential-year gifts from 2,117 donors is a high-volume cell with a modest mean line. The 2014 Realtor cell in this slice is a later cycle with fewer dollars and fewer donors.

Average contribution is about $724; average per donor is about $1,673. Those means are arithmetic on the 2012 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. About 2.3 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio, not a headcount of unique humans behind every spelling variant.

REALTOR is a trademarked word on a form

REALTOR is the occupation string as typed. Membership in a Realtor association is not verified by the FEC. REAL ESTATE BROKER 2012 is a different three-word key with its own contribution count. Do not merge them.

$49,791,079 is every cycle combined for REALTOR. $3,540,941 in 2012 is about 7.1% of that stack. Other windows hold about 92.9% ($46,250,138). A cycle cell at 7.1% is a chapter, not the occupation’s full FEC history. REAL ESTATE BROKER, REAL ESTATE, and REAL ESTATE AGENT are other occupation pages if stored separately. Combining them without naming each source total mixes keys.

2,117 donors and 4,892 gifts in 2012

2,117 unique donors against 4,892 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 $3,540,941.

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 REALTOR into a NAICS industry or a licensing roster. Recipients of the campaign gifts live on the occupation hub and the 2012 cycle hub.

About 7.1% of a $49.8 million occupation stack

7.1% is $3,540,941 divided by $49,791,079. Reading only 2012 understates the parent occupation book. Reading only the parent hides that this cycle’s share is 7.1%. The leftover outside 2012 is $46,250,138. 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 $49,791,079 is shared.

What a Realtor–2012 join cannot claim

This page does not measure listings and does not rank metro housing markets. PAC documents from a trade association, if any, are committee records, not this occupation-cycle join.

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 $3,540,941, 4,892 contributions, and 2,117 donors for Realtor in 2012. Cite $49,791,079 for the all-cycle occupation grouping. Name FEC.gov.

Related Realtor and 2012 tables

Realtor donations is the occupation hub behind $49,791,079. 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 $3,540,941, 4,892 gifts, or 2,117 donor IDs, the hub and FEC.gov control.

Keep the occupation string REALTOR attached to $3,540,941 whenever the sentence also names cycle 2012. Keep 4,892 contributions and 2,117 donors in the same citation so readers can see whether Realtor in 2012 is a high-volume stack or a concentrated roster. The all-cycle occupation total $49,791,079 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.

Questions

How much did Realtor-labeled donors give in 2012?

The Realtor grouping’s 2012 cell is $3,540,941 in itemized individual contributions, from 4,892 contributions and 2,117 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $49,791,079 all-cycle occupation total.

Does Realtor mean NAR membership?

No. This cell is the self-reported string REALTOR matched to cycle 2012. REAL ESTATE BROKER, REAL ESTATE, and REAL ESTATE AGENT are other keys if stored separately. The FEC does not verify that the title matches a license or payroll. See the Realtor occupation hub for other cycles and the 2012 cycle hub for other strings.

What share of Realtor FEC money fell in 2012?

About 7.1%. $3,540,941 divided by $49,791,079 is the 2012 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about 92.9% ($46,250,138) on the occupation hub. See the Realtor occupation hub for other cycles and the 2012 cycle hub for other strings.

Is Real Estate Broker included here?

No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards are published by USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. $3,540,941 is itemized receipts tagged REALTOR in 2012, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Unitemized gifts never enter this cell. FEC.gov is the source.
