flag Compass sues Zillow over its "Zillow Ban," claiming it harms competition and agents, while Zillow defends the policy as fair access.

flag A Manhattan court heard the first day of arguments in Compass’s lawsuit against Zillow over its "Zillow Ban," a policy restricting access to private listings if they were previously marketed exclusively elsewhere. flag Compass, led by CEO Robert Reffkin, claims the rule stifles competition and harms agents, arguing it forces compliance through fear. flag Reffkin testified that agents feel bullied, citing personal concern for his mother, a Compass broker. flag Zillow defends the policy as a safeguard for fair access and transparency, countering that Compass’s claims are exaggerated and pointing to internal emails showing Reffkin downplayed Zillow’s importance. flag The judge is expected to rule after closing arguments.
