Realtor political contributions from Florida

REALTOR crossed with Florida

Keeping FEC individual contributions where occupation is REALTOR and contributor state is Florida produces $4,800,819. That is about 10% of $49,791,079 nationally. Florida’s 21,078 contributions are about 9% of 243,658. Its 1,168 donors are about 11% of 10,968. Donor share slightly leads dollar share: Florida has a wide base of realtor-labeled filers relative to the dollars they account for.

Average itemized gift in the Florida join is about $228 ($4,800,819 / 21,078). That sits below the Texas REALTOR average on the same occupation total, which is a difference in filter shape, not a ranking of markets. Broker and real estate agent remain separate strings.

Twenty-one thousand seventy-eight Florida REALTOR gifts are about 9% of 243,658 nationally. One thousand one hundred sixty-eight of 10,968 donors is about 11%. Dollars ($4,800,819 of $49,791,079) sit in the middle at about 10%. The three percentages are close; the cell is wide, not spiky.

The national REALTOR occupation

Ten thousand nine hundred sixty-eight donors used REALTOR on receipts totaling $49,791,079 across 243,658 itemized gifts. The FEC does not verify membership in a realtor association. The word is occupation text as typed.

Florida and Texas each hold roughly a tenth of occupation dollars on this denominator. Most of the $49,791,079 still sits in other states. The national hub is the full series; each tie page is one address-state cut.

One thousand one hundred sixty-eight Florida donors

One thousand one hundred sixty-eight Florida donors produced 21,078 REALTOR-tagged contributions totaling $4,800,819. Repeat itemization is built in. The Florida campaign-finance hub places this title beside business owner, sales, and other FL occupations so a real-estate string is not treated as all Florida property giving.

Seasonal addresses matter. A donor who files a Florida address with occupation REALTOR enters the $4,800,819. A Florida licensee who files from another state does not. Listings location is not the contributor-state field.

The national REALTOR series (10,968 donors, 243,658 gifts) is geographically spread. Florida and Texas together, even if a researcher added the two joins, would still leave most of the $49,791,079 in other states. This join reports Florida only: 1,168, 21,078, $4,800,819.

Limits

These dollars are federal individual contributions, not realtor-PAC totals and not Florida state campaign filings. The join does not show that housing policy caused the gifts. Recipient committees are outside the two-column filter.

Volume in a housing-title cell

Florida REALTOR at $4,800,819 from 1,168 donors and 21,078 gifts is about 10% of dollars, 9% of gifts, and 11% of donors on $49,791,079 nationally. Donor share slightly leads. Average gift about $228 is lower than Texas’s REALTOR average on the same occupation total. Seasonal Florida addresses can inflate the 1,168 keys relative to year-round licensees.

DEVELOPER and SALES are other Florida ties that people sometimes want to stack with REALTOR into a property-sector homemade total. That stack would mix different strings, different donor counts, and possible double-counts of people who changed titles across receipts. This page does not stack them.

One thousand one hundred sixty-eight Florida donors, 21,078 gifts, $4,800,819, about 10% of $49,791,079 and about 11% of 10,968 donors. Donor share a little above dollar share is the Florida signature on this string. Seasonal addresses can explain part of that. They do not license anyone. DEVELOPER and SALES are other Florida ties, not children of REALTOR.

Does this include real estate agents who did not write REALTOR?

No. Only the exact string REALTOR is in this join: $49,791,079 nationally from 10,968 donors and $4,800,819 in Florida from 1,168 donors. Agent and broker titles have separate occupation pages. Combining them would be a researcher’s merge.

Did these contributions go to Florida candidates?

The join filters donor state and occupation, not recipient. A Florida-addressed REALTOR can give to any FEC committee. Tracing the $4,800,819 from 21,078 receipts requires committee-level receipts The packet totals for this join remain the occupation–state filter described above, with no extra dollar figures beyond those facts.
