ABSTRACT
The key to understanding the behavior of the Realtors’ Political Action Committee (RPAC) is the character of its contributors. As anyone who has bought a home knows, a realtor has an accountant’s attention to economic and legal detail and a risk-taker’s penchant for creating imaginative, nonlinear solutions. Realtors are smart, competent people who are economic activists. They understand the impact of public policy on their sector of the economy.
