The Real Estate Collaborative

In Part 2 of our conversation with Doug Miller, we dive into a continuation of last episode’s discussion (linked below) surrounding practices that don’t serve consumers’ best interests. We discuss the 2024 anti-trust lawsuit involving NAR, “standard fee agreements,” and other anti-competitive practices that have been commonplace in the real estate industry for years. From price-fixing concerns to workaround clauses buried in contracts, this episode takes a closer look at some of the legal and ethical questions surrounding traditional real estate practices. While meaningful change in such a large industry may take time, we believe informed consumers are an important part of pushing the conversation forward. Stay informed, stay savvy, and join us for an honest look at the behind-the-scenes systems shaping real estate today. Find us at http://therecollab.com
