INSPIRE24: The REALTOR® Experience was an unforgettable event this year, marked by the Realtors® Political Action Committee (RPAC) Silent Auction, which reached an impressive $29,469 — a new fundraising record. This achievement underscores the Realtor® community’s commitment to supporting RPAC and advancing the policies and candidates that protect real estate interests. 

Investing in Advocacy and Policy 

The funds raised will bolster RPAC’s work to support the Northern Virginia Realtors® Political Action Committee (NVRPAC) endorsed candidates, advocacy initiatives, and state and federal lawmakers who prioritize real estate. Every dollar contributes to policies that champion affordable housing, protect property rights, and promote a balanced regulatory environment. These funds empower RPAC to ensure that issues crucial to Realtors® and homeowners — like tax relief and accessibility to home financing — are prioritized by policymakers. 

Unity and Collective Impact 

The energy at the silent auction was energetic, as attendees bid on unique items, from exclusive experiences to invaluable resources, making the auction an engaging and spirited affair. The NVRPAC Campaign committee members, small business owners, affiliates, volunteers, and our investors each played a vital role in this success, showcasing the collective commitment of the Realtor® community. Together, they highlighted what’s possible when real estate professionals unite for a shared mission. 

A Vision for the Future 

This record-breaking auction at INSPIRE24: The REALTOR® Experience is more than just a financial achievement; it’s a rallying call for Realtors® across the region to continue advocating for a thriving real estate market. The $29,469 raised not only strengthens RPAC’s efforts today but also lays the groundwork for impactful policy changes that will support homeownership and protect property values in the years to come. 

The Realtor® community’s dedication and unity in this record-setting auction demonstrate the impact they can have when they come together. With RPAC’s ongoing mission as an elemental presence there, INSPIRE24 attendees left empowered to continuously build a secure and prosperous future moving real estate forward.
