The lawsuit filed by John Diaz accuses the National Association of Realtors and other organizations of creating an exclusionary practice, requiring brokers to join multiple associations to access essential MLS services, which hinders competition.
Diaz describes the three-way membership agreement as an anti-competitive monopoly, alleging it violates the Sherman Act by forcing brokers into unnecessary association memberships to gain access to vital MLS services.
The plaintiff seeks damages, injunctive relief, and a jury trial, claiming the membership requirements have led to a significant financial burden and have diminished his business revenue.
According to Diaz, the defendants' actions amounted to breaching their contractual obligations, as the fees involved do not provide equitable value or fair service in relation to what he pays.
