Why invest? The REALTOR® Action Fund helps protect your business. It was created to protect REALTORS® and the industry in  Sacramento’s partisan political process. The REALTOR® Action Fund is bipartisan and supports Democrats, Republicans and Independents in the REALTOR® fight against any special interest that would attack REALTORS® or their ability to serve clients.   The REALTOR® Action Fund helps agents and brokers win! During these challenging times, the REALTOR® Action Fund supports statewide and local causes with one clear goal: ensuring that REALTORS® can serve clients and sell real estate. In fact, during the recent primary election, the REALTOR® Action Fund won 73 of 77 contests, which includes electing two REALTORS®.  It also recently defeated local point of sale mandates, including a $25,000 Point-of-Sale sewer laterals ordinance in Marin County. Invest as much as you can.
