DOJ at odds with California Association of Realtors
Just when we thought we may have finally reached a settlement and while we, as Realtors, wait for the new forms and procedures, here comes another twist. The DOJ is not happy with the settlement. It is the contention of the DOJ that the work around settlement did nothing to eliminate the “steering” to those who offer a higher commission. This contention has led to more pressure from the DOJ that they will continue to prosecute what the DOJ believes is price fixing.
