The latest on Compass

The court said the portal’s request for the allegedly “conspiratorial communications” was “unduly burdensome," but agreed to extend Zillow's TRO against MRED.

The state Attorney General’s office is gathering information about Compass’ market share in NYC following its acquisition of Anywhere, The Real Deal reported.

The brokerage has significantly increased its listings exposure in recent weeks through MLS collaborations, with Bright its biggest partner to date.

The portal alleges it was coerced into abandoning its listing standards in Chicagoland due to a partnership-driven “monopoly” and “group boycott” in the region.

The MLS, which is joining forces with the brokerage giant, will allow agents to pre-market listings to members only — without syndication to third-party sites.

The company gets a vote of confidence from investors after reporting $2.7 billion in Q1 revenue — its first earnings report since the Anywhere deal closed.

In a rapid-fire, eyebrow-raising presentation to real estate leaders, the Compass International Holdings CEO made a case for “restoring” the MLS of the past.

The deals are pending, with few details disclosed. Plus, Weichert negotiates with Batton plaintiffs; Compass rebuts NWMLS claims; TRD defamation suit dropped.

The CIH Chairman and CEO explained why he’s pushing for more choice in how listings are marketed — and questioned the concept of a real estate “industry.”

The Chicago MLS, which runs a private listing network, is expanding nationwide to give agents “more choices.” It will receive Compass’ full listing inventory.

The debt-restructuring move gives Compass International Holdings 51% ownership and a potential path to more control of a company tied to Sotheby’s franchises.

A recent analysis of home sales in top Compass markets shows just how much the brokerage has increased its market share since acquiring Anywhere.

The Washington-based MLS, which was sued by the brokerage a year ago, said it’s fighting “a battle for the future of the American real estate market.”

The Compass Intl. Holdings CEO vowed to defend agents who are penalized for following “seller-directed” marketing plans while insisting he supports the MLS.

In a Mar. 19 ruling, a judge denied the Seattle-area MLS’s motion to dismiss, stating that Compass had made “plausible claims” of competitive harm.

The real estate giants accused several MLSs of “actively working against” agents, adding, “we will not accept rules” dictating how listings can be marketed.

The industry’s largest brokerage had sued the home search site over its Listings Access Standards, which conflict with Compass’ marketing approach.

After leading Anywhere Brands for more than five years, Yannaccone has been appointed chief operating officer of Compass following its acquisition of Anywhere.

During a Feb. 26 call with investors, Compass CEO Robert Reffkin took shots at Zillow and MLSs — and detailed an unexpected partnership with Redfin.

Rocket agreed to begin immediately displaying the brokerage’s “Coming Soon” listings on Redfin — reversing Redfin’s earlier pledge to bar such listings.
