Realtor political contributions from Virginia

The Realtor–Virginia overlap

Occupation REALTOR and donor state VA produce $1,831,499, 8,332 contributions, and 456 donors. The occupation hub is $49,791,079, 243,658 contributions, and 10,968 donors. Virginia’s dollar share is about 4%; contribution share about 3% (8,332 of 243,658); donor share about 4% (456 of 10,968).

The three shares cluster. Virginia’s Realtor join is a proportional slice of a large national label—10,968 donors and 243,658 contributions nationwide—rather than a concentrated handful of gifts. Developer is a separate Virginia occupation tie that uses a different occupation string. Do not add Realtor and Developer Virginia totals and call the sum housing-industry giving.

Four hundred fifty-six Virginia donors produced 8,332 contributions, about 18 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 22 rows per donor nationally (243,658 contributions from 10,968 donors). Virginia holds about 4% of the $49,791,079 on both dollars and donors—a proportional slice of a large occupation label, not a concentrated handful of gifts.

Realtor versus Real Estate Broker

REALTOR and REAL ESTATE BROKER are different occupation strings. Real Estate Broker has a Florida tie in this packet slice with its own national total. A Virginia filer who wrote REAL ESTATE BROKER is not in this $1,831,499. The $49,791,079 national Realtor total is this word only.

Ten thousand nine hundred sixty-eight donors produced 243,658 contributions. This page locates the Virginia overlap of that labeled bucket.

Virginia as donor state

Four hundred fifty-six Virginia donors produced 8,332 contributions totaling $1,831,499. Donor state VA is the address on the record, not proof of a Virginia real-estate license, and not a limit to Virginia candidates.

The Virginia campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to VA. Auto Dealer, Business, and Analyst VA ties are other pages.

Virginia’s state hub includes Developer, Auto Dealer, and Business ties. REALTOR is only this filter. The Realtor occupation hub without Virginia still holds about 96% of the $49,791,079. REAL ESTATE BROKER is a different national string.

What the join is not

This page does not measure home sales, MLS membership, or whether Realtor-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. It does not rank Virginia housing markets.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

REALTOR on an FEC form is still filer-entered text, not a verified association roster. Itemized individual contributions only. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. MLS volume is not in these six numbers. Donor state VA is not recipient geography. Correlation is not causation.

Virginia’s $1,831,499 is the REALTOR-and-VA overlap only, not a statewide housing-industry total and not a license-board extract.

What the Realtor–Virginia remainder is

Subtract the Virginia dollars on this page from the national Realtor occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded Realtor in every other state combined. That remainder 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 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Virginia dollars, or only the Realtor national total, drops a key.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered.

Questions

How much have Realtor donors in Virginia given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation Realtor and state Virginia total $1,831,499, from 8,332 contributions and 456 donors. Nationwide, Realtor-coded receipts are $49,791,079 from 243,658 contributions and 10,968 donors. Virginia is about 4% of those dollars.

Is Realtor the same as Real Estate Broker in FEC data?

No. REALTOR and REAL ESTATE BROKER are different occupation strings. This join’s 456 Virginia donors and $1,831,499 are REALTOR-and-VA only. Real Estate Broker has its own national total and its own state ties.

Are these NAR members licensed in Virginia?

The FEC file does not verify licenses or association membership. Occupation is the string REALTOR and state is VA. The 456 Virginia donors used that pair of labels. That is not a real-estate board extract.

Does this money go to Virginia candidates?

Not necessarily. Donor state is Virginia. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $1,831,499 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns.
