Analysts at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods interpret the DOJ's recent statement as a sign it is dissatisfied with the proposed settlement's remedies and is pursuing further investigations of NAR.
Attorney Rob Hahn suggests that only a total surrender or regime change can halt the DOJ's pursuit of the National Association of Realtors, emphasizing that the court's approval of the settlement offers no comfort from DOJ scrutiny.
Marx Sterbcow highlights that the DOJ is specifically investigating cooperative compensation practices and aims for a complete separation between seller brokers' commission payments to buyers' agents, indicating a significant shift in industry standards.
Sterbcow notes that market players will react quickly to DOJ expectations, implying that public companies may alter their compensation models based on the pressure from ongoing DOJ actions against NAR.
