About Realtor® Advocacy

About Realtor® Advocacy

Your Realtor® advocacy team ensures that our members’ voices are heard as decisions are made about the laws and regulations that shape our industry.

Through NVRPAC, NVAR is able to advocate on the local level, ensuring that the interests of Northern Virginia Realtors® are known to lawmakers and representatives and that the magnitude of Realtor® impact on Northern Virginia's economy and communities is recognized. NVAR collaborates with Virginia REALTORS® to advocate in Richmond, along with the National Association of REALTORS®, located steps away from the United States Capitol.  

Together, we also advocate on behalf of the consumers — representing the interests of homebuyers, sellers, and renters, and the commercial tenants who are directly impacted by changes in things like affordability, taxation, and ordinances.

About NVRPAC

RPAC

The REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) has promoted the election of pro-Realtor® candidates across the United States since 1969. The purpose of RPAC is clear: voluntary contributions made by Realtors® are used to help elect candidates who understand and support their interests.

These are not members’ dues; this is money given freely by Realtors® in recognition of the importance of the political process. The REALTORS® Political Action Committee and other political fundraising are the keys to protecting and promoting the real estate industry. 

NVRPAC results in meaningful local Realtor® advocacy wins such as the passing of Virginia Realtors® Health Insurance Legislation, Federal Homeowner and Rental Assistance Funding, and more.

2024–2025 Legislative Agenda

Nov 13, 2024, 10:33 by Grace Parr
The 2024–2025 Legislative Agenda, developed by the NVAR Public Policy Committee, is now live.


The Northern Virginia Association of Realtors® (NVAR) ensures that the interests of Northern Virginia Realtors® are known to lawmakers at every level of government — from City Hall and the General Assembly to the U.S. Capitol. Our elected officials are making decisions every day that have a significant impact on property rights, quality of life, and the bottom line for Realtors®, their clients, and consumers. These leaders recognize the magnitude of Realtor® impacts on the Northern Virginia economy and beyond, and they listen to the Realtor® voice when it speaks.

This is the power of the REALTOR® Party.

The REALTOR® Party is the powerful alliance of individual Realtors® and Realtor® associations at all levels, working to protect and promote homeownership, build strong communities, and foster a vibrant business ecosystem. Whether it is NVAR advocating in our region, the Virginia REALTORS® working in Richmond, or the National Association of REALTORS® walking the halls of the U.S. Capitol, the REALTOR® Party works to advance public policies that shape our communities and the real estate industry.

Now more than ever, it is critically important for Realtors® across the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area and beyond to come together and speak with one voice. We must emphasize the stability a sound and dynamic real estate market brings to our communities and demonstrate that the American Dream of Homeownership is alive and well.
