Top Agent Network sues NAR over Clear Cooperation Policy
Lawsuit filed
Top Agent Network filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against the National Association of Realtors and other defendants, alleging that adoption of the Clear Cooperation Policy violated antitrust and unfair-competition laws. The allegations are claims in the suit, not a court determination.
Company response
Denial — National Association of Realtors
In an emailed statement, NAR said the suit “has no legal basis” and the 1.4 million member trade group would “vigorously contest it.”
