What is an RPAC Investment?

RPAC is your best investment in real estate! The REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) is the nation's largest, most successful, and most bipartisan political action committee. Your voluntary investment is used to improve your bottom line in several ways: Through issues mobilization, political advocacy, and by directly supporting candidates at the local, state, and federal levels of government who champion the ideals and principles of REALTORS®. To learn more about the REALTOR® Political Action Committee and its initiatives, please visit pauldingrealtors.com/rpac or www.realtorparty.realtor.

Is an RPAC Investment included in my renewal?

A fair share RPAC Investment is included on each member's renewal to help reach the Association's annual REALTOR® Party fundraising goals, but your participation is voluntary. If renewing online, after you select "pay dues" and before you enter your credit card information, you will see a blue edit link next to the RPAC investment on the order summary. If you click on the edit button, you'll be taken to a page that will allow you to adjust your investment to any amount you'd feel comfortable contributing or to opt out of investing at this time.

Am I required to invest in RPAC?

Your renewal invoice online includes a voluntary RPAC investment, which is strongly encouraged but is ultimately voluntary. You may invest any amount you feel comfortable with or opt out. Please note that RPAC saves the typical REALTOR® approximately $25,000 each year and, without RPAC, you would be paying significantly more in operating costs annually.

As you go through the prompts to pay online, you have the ability to modify and/or remove the RPAC amount (you'll see an "edit" option next to the RPAC amount) just before you input your credit card information.

What payment methods are accepted?

You may pay by check or with Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express.

We also accept cash or money orders, provided the exact amount is tendered.

Is my credit card charged immediately?

Yes, the charge is completed during the renewal transaction. Allow several minutes for the balance to clear in your portal view. If you have entered the number or expiration date incorrectly, or if there is another problem with the card, you will be unable to complete the transaction.

What if I wish to pay by check?

Please make your check payable to the Paulding Board of REALTORS®

Submit payment to the Association office at:
5784 Lake Forrest Dr.
Atlanta, GA 30328

Please include either a copy of your invoice (details above) and/or your real estate license # on the check. Please omit the $4 convenience fee when paying by check.
