Maryland resident, Daniel Umpa, recently filed a copycat commission lawsuit in Missouri, aiming to establish a nationwide home seller class. Umpa’s lawsuit follows a rising trend in the industry, as disgruntled home sellers seek legal action against real estate agents who they believe have engaged in anti-competitive practices. The lawsuit asserts that real estate agents have conspired to fix the fees they charge to sellers, ultimately resulting in higher costs for homeowners.
Key points from the lawsuit include:
– Copycat commission lawsuit: Daniel Umpa, a resident of Maryland, has filed a lawsuit in Missouri, mirroring similar legal actions seen in recent times.
