Legal Battle Alters Real Estate Landscape Nationwide

A legal battle resulting in a $1.8 billion verdict uncovered a conspiracy between the National Association of Realtors and major corporate real estate brokers to fix prices.

This led to multiple lawsuits against the NAR, claiming monopoly and antitrust violations.
