NC REALTORS® Forms Changes Effective Immediately: A list of the forms that changed and a detailed summary of those changes are now available. RPAC Fact: The Realtors® Political Action Committee (RPAC) has promoted the election cycle of Pro-Realtor® candidates across the U.S. since 1969 and is one of the most bi-partisan PACs in the country.  It’s not a RED problem, or BLUE problem it’s a PURPLE solution. Direct investments from Realtors® ensure that both Democrats and Republicans, alike, represent Realtor® issues on Capitol Hill.  Learn how investing in RPAC will benefit you and the industry directly.
