On May 9, a U.S. judge in Missouri approved $208 million in consumer antitrust settlements with Anywhere Real Estate, Keller Williams, and RE/MAX. The ruling by Judge Stephen R. Bough resolves antitrust claims in the Sitzer/Burnett, Moehrl, and Nosalek commission cases. The judge noted on May 10 that the 'miniscule' number of objections were not enough to derail the settlements. This decision addresses allegations that the defendants inflated home sales commissions.

I paid my broker a 15% commission when I sold my entire Amazon business in 2019 and I would do it again. Why? Because they did 90% of the work for me when I was exiting, brought me top-tier buyers, and secured a 4.5x. Friends don't let friends use zero-commission brokers.
