Zillow's New Policy: A Monopoly Battle in Court
Update: 2025-11-19
Description
Compass vs. Zillow: A Legal Battle Over Home Listing PoliciesIn a Manhattan courtroom, Compass, a major real estate brokerage, is suing Zillow over its new policy, dubbed the Zillow ban. This policy prevents home listings from appearing on Zillow if they were first marketed privately. Compass argues this is monopolistic and unfair, with CEO Robert Reffkin testifying that consumers and sellers should have marketing choices. Zillows attorney, Bonnie Lau, counters with internal emails suggesting Reffkin downplayed the bans impact and Zillows importance. Lau also notes that banned listings can still appear on other sites. The cases outcome could significantly impact online real estate listing sharing and access.
