A copycat commission lawsuit has emerged in Nevada, with a second home seller claiming collusion within the real estate industry in the state. The lawsuit alleges that industry players, such as real estate agents, brokers, and multiple listing service (MLS) providers, have conspired to fix and inflate commission rates, potentially harming homeowners by limiting competitive options. The claim follows a similar one filed last year, which has since expanded into a class-action lawsuit involving multiple states.
