Compass claims that NWMLS imposes the most restrictive homeowner marketing rules in the U.S., preventing homeowners from pre-marketing their homes. The Clear Cooperation Policy by NAR contrasts sharply, permitting office exclusives. Compass argues NWMLS's rules are monopolistic, while NWMLS defends its approach, saying private exclusives could undermine the fairness of the housing market. The dispute includes accusations against Zillow for monopolistic behavior, indicating a broader struggle within real estate markets over marketing rights and access.
In the complaint, Compass claims that NWMLS is a monopolist and a combination of competing real estate brokers, arguing restrictive marketing rules limit homeowner options.
NWMLS claimed that Compass's private exclusives perpetuate inequities in the housing system, alleging these practices could dismantle the broader real estate marketplace.
