Antitrust Answers Await

Splits and Caps Daily: Action for Agents

“Trust” Me

The DOJ isn’t done shaking up the real estate industry. Even after settling with the National Association of Realtors back in 2020, they’re back in the mix, insisting they can reopen their antitrust investigation. This week, the DOJ took the debate to the Supreme Court, arguing their case against permanently closing the book on real estate competition policies.

Why it matters: The DOJ’s original investigation targeted rules around broker compensation and listing cooperation—hot topics that impact how agents do business. While some of these issues have been settled in court, the DOJ isn’t ready to promise they’ll stay out of it forever.

Big picture: Whether the Supreme Court backs the DOJ or sides with the industry, this case could redefine how real estate operates at its core. For now, stay sharp—change is always just one ruling away.
