NC REALTORS® RPAC Investing
A key component of the REALTOR® Party is the North Carolina REALTORS® Political Action Committee (NC REALTORS® PAC). The sole purpose of NC REALTORS® PAC is to help elect real estate-friendly candidates to public office.
NC REALTORS® PAC supports candidates who understand and champion the interests of North Carolina REALTORS®, regardless of their political affiliation. NC REALTORS® PAC backs candidates in primary, general, and run-off elections.
NC REALTORS® PAC is effective because it allows REALTORS® to work with all political parties to enact legislation that protects the real estate industry, current, and future homeowners, the real estate-based economy, and private property rights. Not only is NC REALTORS® PAC one of the most nonpartisan political action committees in the state–it is the most successful.

Why should you invest in NC REALTORS® PAC?
Consider RPAC’s record from the 2020 election cycle.
  • 95.6% of RPAC-supported candidates for the North Carolina General Assembly won.
  • 100% of RPAC-supported candidates for the U.S. Congress won.
