What Is the REALTOR® Party?

Non-partisan advocacy. We are not Republican and we are not Democrat — we are the REALTOR® Party. We are not red and we are not blue — we are unified in REALTOR® Party purple.

Our business is shaped by public policy everyday day at all levels of government — federal, state and local. The REALTOR® Party ensures your voice remains strong and effective at every level of government.

The REALTOR® Party advocates on issues impacting the real estate industry, real property and your business:

  • Enhancing transparency in transactions

  • Reducing property taxes

  • Protecting property rights

  • Limiting REALTOR® liability

Political advocacy is about protecting our profession and property rights. And because of your involvement in political advocacy, the WRA is the most effective voice in Wisconsin for homeownership and private property rights.

As the REALTOR® Party, we work together to protect our business, clients, customers and the real state industry from harmful legislation and unnecessary regulation.

The REALTOR® Party in action

At REALTOR® & Government Day 2026 (RGD), nearly 500 REALTOR® members gathered at the state Capitol to turn housing data turned into real conversations.

REALTORS® shared firsthand stories about limited housing supply, rising property taxes, and the real-world impact these challenges are having on homeowners, renters, employers and communities across Wisconsin. Those conversations helped put faces and experiences behind the numbers.

The day showed that progress is possible. Increasing housing supply and pursuing meaningful property tax relief remain critical steps toward creating more attainable homes, stronger communities and a healthier real estate market.

This is the REALTOR® Party turning momentum into meaningful action.
