RPAC saves you money…• Banks in Real Estate: Congress passed legislation
in 2009 to permanently keep banking conglomerates out of the real estate brokerage, which saves the typical REALTOR® $5,400 annually.
• Conforming Mortgage Loan Limit Increase: Legislation that increased the Fannie and Freddie conforming mortgage loan limits increased the earnings of the typical REALTOR® by $6,250 last year over and above what would have been the case without the increase in the Fannie/Freddie loan limits.
