Description

You’re listening to Go Gaddis Real Estate Radio. I’m Cleve Gaddis—here to make real estate clear, simple, and worry-free.

In this episode, we’re diving into a major shake-up in the real estate world: the recent lawsuit from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) against Zillow and Redfin. What’s the allegation? What are the potential ripple effects for buyers, sellers, and agents—especially right here in Metro Atlanta?

Here’s what we’ll cover:

The details of the FTC’s complaint: that Zillow paid Redfin $100 million in a deal allegedly designed to reduce competition in the rental listing and advertising market.

How this could impact local market dynamics: if listing platforms change rules around exposure, advertising, or syndication, what might that mean for you?

What’s next: We’ll preview next week’s segment where we’ll explore the five states that also filed lawsuits against Zillow/Redfin and dive into what that means for renters, landlords, and home-buyers.

Why this matters: Even though this looks like a national tech/antitrust story, the outcomes could shift how listings are marketed, how home searches work, and how competitive your next sale or purchase might be.
