2026 NAR Chair, RPAC Trustees Fundraising Committee

Jarrod Lowe (GRI, C2EX), a REALTOR® from Florida, is 2026 Chair of the RPAC Trustees Fundraising Committee for the National Association of REALTORS®. Jarrod has devoted more than a decade to REALTOR® Party leadership, serving in key roles at the local, state and national levels. He believes deeply in the REALTOR® Party’s mission—not only to protect property rights and homeownership, but to ensure REALTORS® have a strong, unified voice in shaping the policies that impact their clients, communities and profession. For Jarrod, advocacy isn’t an obligation; it’s a calling. He’s seen firsthand the difference RPAC makes at every level of government, and he is devoted to ensuring REALTORS® remain organized, informed and empowered to meet the challenges ahead. With a background in the U.S. Marine Corps and law enforcement, Jarrod learned early the value of duty, preparedness and standing up for causes bigger than himself—principles that have guided his 14-year involvement with RPAC and the REALTOR® Party.
