Anywhere has also agreed to recommend and encourage these same practice changes to its independently owned and operated franchise network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These practice changes include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Anywhere will prohibit company owned brokerages and their affiliated agents from claiming buyer agent services are free.<br><\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Anywhere will require company owned brokerages and their affiliated agents to include the listing broker&#8217;s offer of compensation for prospective buyers&#8217; agents as soon as possible in each active listing, consistent with&nbsp;MLS rules and\/or capabilities of third-party website operators.<br><\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Anywhere will prohibit company owned brokerages and their affiliated agents from using any technology (or manual methods) to sort listings by offers of compensation, unless requested by the client.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, Anywhere has agreed to &#8220;advise and remind company owned brokerages, franchisees, and affiliated agents that the company has no rule&nbsp;requiring&nbsp;offers of compensation.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anywhere will also not require company owned brokerages, franchisees, or affiliated agents to belong to the <a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.housingwire.com\/tag\/national-association-of-realtors\/\">NAR<\/a> or follow the NAR Code of Ethics or MLS Handbook. Anywhere will require company owned brokerages and their agents to clearly disclose to clients that commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable.

Certain MLSs that have already removed the mandatory requirement or eliminated a minimum amount have helped facilitate seller choice in those markets as well as provide for continued access to both buyer and seller agent services.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the cases, known as Sitzer\/Burnett after the names of the plaintiffs, is headed to trial in three weeks. That case named the NAR, Keller Williams, Anywhere, RE\/MAX, HomeServices and HomeServices affiliates as defendants, and was originally&nbsp;filed in 2019. It&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.inman.com\/2022\/04\/25\/federal-commission-suit-now-a-class-action-nar-realogy-vow-to-appeal\/\">won class-action status<\/a>&nbsp;last year and could result in over $1 billion in damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The larger of the two cases, known as Moehrl, received&nbsp;class certification&nbsp;in March and a trial is expected next year.
