The attorneys for REX argued that all seven of the executives were responsible for NAR\u2019s response to online competition and for developing and enforcing NAR policies \u201climiting both how homes are listed online and the negotiation of commissions.\u201d In addition, the seven custodians proposed by REX are already ESI custodians in the two other anti-trust lawsuit the Realtor trade group is facing, Moehrl and Sitzer\/Burnett.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the seven custodians, Zilly agreed to add four: Katherine \u201cKatie\u201d Johnson (NAR\u2019s general counsel and chief member experience officer), Kevin Milligan (NAR\u2019s former vice president of board policy and programs), Clifford Niersbach (NAR\u2019s former associate general counsel and vice president of board policy and programs), as well as Goldberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the order issued Thursday, Zilly wrote that adding these four custodians \u201cwill not impose a significant burden on NAR and is proportional to the needs of the case,\u201d reasoning that the executives he listed are likely to have information \u201crelevant to the central issues implicated in this action.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>REX filed the <a href=\"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/1.pdf\">anti-trust lawsuit<\/a> in March 2021 against the trade group and <a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.realtrends.com\/blog\/articles\/zillow-named-in-digital-privacy-lawsuit\/\">Zillow<\/a>, alleging anti-trust violations related to an NAR rule, known as the no-commingling rule, that prompted Zillow to separate non-MLS listings from MLS listings on its website, including listings from REX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In early May, <a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.realtrends.com\/blog\/articles\/rex-closes-brokerage-hires-david-boies-in-zillow-lawsuit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">REX laid off<\/a>&nbsp;most of its remaining employees. In an email, CEO Jack Ryan and COO Lynley Sides, who co-founded the brokerage,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.realtrends.com\/blog\/articles\/rex-closes-brokerage-hires-david-boies-in-zillow-lawsuit\/#:~:text=REX%20Homes%20may%20have%20shut,the%20National%20Association%20of%20Realtors.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">urged most agents<\/a>&nbsp;to hang their sales license elsewhere, and announced the closing of the firm\u2019s physical offices in Austin and Woodland Hills, California. It has since blamed Zillow and NAR for the shuttering of its operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite granting part of REX\u2019s motion to compel, Zilly denied REX\u2019s motion for NAR to turn over all documents relating to or produced by NAR in the Moehrl and Sitzer\/Burnett cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both the Moehrl and the Sitzer\/Burnett cases deal with what REX refers to as the Realtor association&#8217;s \u201cbuyer broker commission rule.\u201d REX argues that this rule, which requires listing brokers to offer buyer brokers a commission to list a property in a Realtor-affiliated MLS, and NAR\u2019s no-commingling rule both aim to maintain artificially high real estate commissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response to this argument, Zilly wrote: \u201c[REX\u2019s request] is overly broad, and the Court is not persuaded that all documents produced by NAR in those actions are relevant to this case.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>REX Real Estate and NAR did not return a request for comment at the time of publication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seattle district court grants, in part, REX\u2019s motion to compel requiring NAR executives to turn over relevant evidence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34740,"featured_media":4822,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3255],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1760],"class_list":["post-3552","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.4 (Yoast SEO v26.8) -
