Mauricio Umansky Refiles Antitrust Lawsuit Against NAR Over Clear Cooperation Policy and MLS Listing Rules

Mauricio Umansky, a prominent real estate agent, has refiled his antitrust lawsuit against the National Association of Realtors (NAR), challenging the trade group's Clear Cooperation Policy. This policy mandates that listings must be shared on the multiple listing service (MLS) within one day. The revived suit continues to put pressure on NAR regarding its listing practices. The case has drawn attention from various brokerages, including those that previously settled related commission disputes. This development follows ongoing scrutiny of real estate industry practices and parallels a recent Ninth Circuit decision reviving antitrust claims against CoStar amid a quiet Federal Trade Commission investigation.
