What Is REALTAC?

A Collaborative Real Estate Forum at PPAR in Colorado Springs

REALTAC is a collaborative forum where real estate professionals come together to exchange ideas, discuss industry trends, and build valuable professional relationships. Hosted through the Pikes Peak Association of REALTORS, REALTAC supports education, innovation, and collaboration across the real estate industry in Colorado Springs and beyond.

Designed for professionals who want to stay informed and ahead of industry changes, REALTAC offers insight into market dynamics, regulatory updates, emerging technologies, and consumer trends.

What Does REALTAC Stand For?

REALTAC represents the full spectrum of professionals involved in a real estate transaction:

• REALTORS®
• Attorneys
• Lenders
• Title Professionals
• Appraisers
• Closers

This diverse representation ensures conversations reflect the entire transaction lifecycle, leading to more informed decisions and stronger outcomes for clients.
