Compass may beat Zillow here’s why

It looks like the Compass vs. Zillow lawsuit could change the real estate world.

A long-time broker/attorney filed his response here, and he thinks Compass has a strong case.

The author thinks it’s likely that Zillow settles the case, and ends their ban of listings that don’t comply with their rules. But more importantly, he thinks it will open up the home search to others:

If Zillow settles, it means there will be more private marketing of Boston condos for sale. It will be acceptable to keep listings in-house, and we’re going to be forced to deal with it. The public will be on the outside looking in, and because the market conditions are already tough, agents might resort to actions we haven’t imagined yet.
