Houston Raises Most Money for TREPAC


The Five Reasons to Invest in TREPAC…

1. Protect yourself, your career and your future by helping to keep the government out of your wallet.

 

2. Help to make a difference in the real estate industry and support candidates who support our interests i.e.: Association Health Plans, which would benefit Realtor®  members. 

 

3. YOU can make a difference! Currently, TREPAC is the largest grassroots effort in the state. And it is through these efforts, funded by our Realtor® members banding together, TREPAC is able to achieve its excellent results.

 

4. Participate in fun TREPAC Realtor Community events and network with your fellow peers. 

 

5. With more than 50 elected officials who represent the HAR membership area, it makes more economic sense to invest $250 in TREPAC, rather than $5 per candidate and /or elected official.   [more...]More
