Day two of the court proceedings in the much-anticipated trial of the mortgage industry’s top executives ended with a knockout punch–video depositions of three of the industry’s foremost leaders.
The video depositions were used to discuss a wide range of topics, including but not limited to: setting commissions, determining roles of the executives, encouraging “co-opetition” tactics, and confidential National Association of Realtors (NAR) meetings. The court’s social media page highlighted the commissioner’s apparent shock at the level of the executives’ understanding of the industry’s economic practices.
The three executives who participated in the depositions had a combined industry experience of over 50 years, and were shown to be extremely knowledgeable and respected in their sector. Ready with well-crafted answers that spoke to the nuances of the market, these criticisms included complex topics such as multi-tiered commission structures, codes of shared regulations, and the nature of contractual relationships.
