What would our industry look like without RPAC? It is not a concept we like to imagine for too long. In 2020 alone without RPAC and our advocacy efforts, business operations would look a lot different for REALTORS in Washington and across the country:
- While other businesses were stalled on the sidelines, REALTORS remain at work during the Covid-19 crisis in a way that was safe for you, and your clients.
- REALTORS were able to immediately clarify rules around property management and other affiliated services while other industries struggled to understand the regulations they were facing.
- Decreased the Real Estate Excise Tax by 15% on all sales under $500,000- putting nearly $1,000 back in your seller’s pocket.
- Exempted REALTORS from a 20% increase in the B&O Tax you pay- putting $250-$500 back in the pocket of our members each year.
- Protected your Independent Contractor Status.
- Successfully pushed back a bill that would have required any in house transactions to involve attorneys for both the seller and the buyer.
- Reformed Condo Liability Laws so that more affordable condominiums can be built.
- Passed a bill that encourages cities to allow responsible density- things like accessory dwelling units, duplexes and triplexes in single family zones and more.
RPAC DID THAT!
