Introduction to Rex Homes and Disintermediation of Residential Brokerage Industry
Rex Homes, founded by Jack Ryan, offers a digital alternative to traditional residential real estate agents, operating on a zero brokerage fee model similar to firms like TD Ameritrade. By offering ancillary services like escrow and home management, the company aims to generate revenue even with zero brokerage fees. However, challenges arose when Zillow and the National Association of Realtors took actions that led to a legal battle, culminating in a significant antitrust lawsuit under the Sherman Act.
