California real estate broker John Diaz has filed a lawsuit against the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and three other organizations, challenging a three-way agreement that has sparked controversy within the industry.
In the lawsuit, Diaz alleges that the agreement between NAR, the California Association of Realtors (CAR), and the Orange County Realtors Association (OCAR) unfairly restricts competition and violates antitrust laws. The agreement in question requires all members of CAR and OCAR to also be members of NAR, which Diaz argues limits consumer choice and prevents independent brokers from thriving in the marketplace.
Key elements:
– California real estate broker John Diaz sues NAR and three other organizations over a three-way agreement
– Allegations of unfair competition and antitrust violations
– Agreement mandates CAR and OCAR members to also be NAR members
– Lawsuit claims agreement limits consumer choice and hinders independent brokers
