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. 

Anti-REALTOR® forces are trying to take advantage of the down market to increase your liability for frivolous lawsuits.  Bureaucrats have also proposed eliminating the Mortgage Interest Deduction.  If they win, we will all lose.  Our best hope is a fully-funded REALTOR® Action Fund that will help us get educate policy makers.

 In an effort to encourage members to become actively involved, TIGAR offers a special membership to Local REALTORS®who choose to stay apprised of the political climate surrounding REALTORS® and homebuyers, which consists of their membership to the Legislative Liaison Program and participation in the REALTOR® Action Fund (RAF).

With every level of membership, C.A.R. offers a membership to the Legislative Liaison Program, which keeps our members abreast on all pertinent legislation introduced in the California State Legislature.
