New York's OneKey MLS signed on as a co-plaintiff in CRMLS's federal case against Compass, and the two MLSs filed an amended complaint in Manhattan federal court asking a judge to declare their clear cooperation rules lawful. OneKey points to months of emailed litigation threats from Compass leadership as the reason it joined.
Executives behind Open Real Estate said the venture has a capital commitment, a launch timeline and rules on private listings, and said they intend to complete the project.
RealScout will integrate eXp Realty's pre-market coming-soon listings into its agent-client platform later this year, extending exposure for listings before they hit the open market.
Compass CEO Robert Reffkin and executives Ashton Alexander and Cory Perkins have asked a court to throw out subpoenas issued by the National Association of Realtors in the PLS litigation. The executives argue the subpoenas are retaliatory and oppressive and are meant to discourage them from testifying.
Highlights from RESO's Oct. 19–21 conference in Colorado Springs: hundreds of MLSs still lag on current data standards and certification, and speakers urged the industry to spell out coming-soon listing rules — display, syndication, showings, days on market — in explicit data fields rather than relying on inconsistent status names.
