Compass asserts its dedication to open access to exclusive listings while prohibiting changes or monetization of the data. Brokerages will have direct access through integration, fostering broader participation. Despite earlier compliance programs, Compass rejects the binding nature of the Clear Cooperation Policy and NAR policies. A recent lawsuit against Zillow claims it breaches antitrust laws by restricting listings that are not submitted to an MLS in a timely manner. Compass's policies aim to uphold transparency in the real estate market.
Compass maintains that it co-broke with all parties by offering its exclusive listings to those who agree to specific non-monetization terms. This reinforces its stance against narratives of exclusivity.
Under the new policy, brokerages will have direct access to listings through system integration, while Compass prohibits any monetization of listing data or sales of leads to third parties.
Compass has clearly stated it does not consider the Clear Cooperation Policy or National Association of Realtors' rules as binding and future compliance is not on the table.
The company has taken legal action against Zillow, alleging violations of federal antitrust laws due to Zillow's policy of banning non-MLS listings.
