The REALTOR Difference: Advocacy

The REALTOR® Difference… More than just a Licensee!

Did you know? Only REALTORS®, not licensees, are fighting right now to preserve the federal Mortgage Interest Deduction on first and second homes.

Did you know? Only REALTORS®, not licensees, fought to create a tax exemption on the first $500,000 of capital gains from the sale of a principal residence.

Did you know? Only REALTORS®, not licensees, are the only line of defense against government legislation and taxation of your home.

Any real estate licensee can help clients buy or sell a home, but only a REALTOR® keeps working to protect their investment long after the sale. Not every real estate licensee is a REALTOR®. As a REALTOR®, you have made a choice to help lead the fight to protect your client’s investment, preserve private property rights, and defend the American Dream of homeownership. The political activity of REALTORS® at all levels of government is saving homeowners thousands of dollars over their lifetime.

REALTORS® have:

•    Higher Production
•    Strongest Voice in Washington
•    Access to the Best Data and Tools
•    Access to Professional Designations
•    Support for Local Communities
