Goal met for the year and its only January!

CMR members have met and exceeded a goal in the first month of the year that generally takes all year to reach.

Each year MAR sets an RPAC participation percentage goal for all REALTOR® Boards in the state to reach for during the course of the year. The RPAC participation goal set for REALTOR® Boards in 2018 is 54% of members.  To date, 58.4% of CMR’s 1,792 members chose to invest their Fair Share with their annual dues renewal payment.

At 58.4%, we have met 73.9% of the monetary goal of $74,279.  That goal will also be met and exceeded as new members join each month who generally invest their Fair Share at joining and when the 65+ Major Investors pay out their pledges during the year.   These numbers are envied by other Boards in the state and other REALTOR® Associations in the country.

CMR members have created a culture of investing in RPAC since they know that it takes that investment to elect candidates who support REALTOR® initiatives at the local, state and national levels.  Two recent successes where our influence was evident are the passage of Mississippi’s First Time Homebuyer’s Savings Account at the state level and at the federal level the keeping of most of the incentives of home ownership in the new tax bill.

Your Fair Share Investment ($25/agents and $99 brokers) is an investment in your business.

Congratulations and thank you to those of you who made it possible for CMR to reach the goal in the first month of the year. 

If you’d like to be part of the solution and haven’t yet, you may invest your Fair Share online anytime.
