The lawsuits filed by Eytalis, DeYoung, Hardy, Muhammad, and Moore primarily challenge the requirement to join Realtor associations for access to Multiple Listing Services (MLS). The plaintiffs argue that this requirement creates an unlawful tying arrangement that restricts competition, harms consumers, and limits equity for all real estate licensees. The lawsuits claim that these practices not only hinder opportunities for collaboration among real estate professionals but also create reputational harm for those who are not members, contributing to inefficiencies in the market.
Such practices limit competition, harm consumers, and disproportionately affect all real estate professionals within the real estate industry.
The current membership structure does not provide all real estate licensees with equitable access to the data needed to do their job.
