WHAT IS GLARPAC?

GLARPAC is our Political Action Committee that supports candidates and invests in our advocacy efforts year-round! We are REALTOR® Party, and not associated with any political party. We fight for Realtors® and Realtor® Issues at every level of government.

GLARPAC is not just what bills we can get across the finish line, but the insurance that we can work together to stop legislation from hurting your business!

GLARPAC is working for you by:

1. Fighting to ensure real estate professional services were essential during the pandemic, making the period that followed the most successful in history, was an incredible feat. GLARPAC helped our advocacy team do this!

2. Working directly with NAR to allow Military and Veteran Home Buyers using VA Loans to pay for representation for the first time ever.

3. Lobbying with the Kentucky General Assembly to pass House Bill 88 in the Kentucky 2024 Regular Session to end 40-Year Listing Agreements. This consumer protection bill ended this predatory practice and passed as 'an emergency' so it went into effect immediately!

4. Fighting to ensure that Real Estate stays exempt from Tax on Services as Kentucky addresses new tax reform codes.

5. Working with Louisville Metro Council to address the land development code to find opportunities for more inclusive zoning to create more opportunities to increase inventory!
