Buyer Beware: Who Is Paying The Home Buyer’S Real Estate Agent?, Melissa Stewart
Buyer Beware: Who Is Paying The Home Buyer’S Real Estate Agent?, Melissa Stewart
University of Miami Business Law Review
Within the past few years, unprecedented class action lawsuits have been filed against the National Association of Realtors (“NAR”) and major real estate brokerage firms that could have multibillion-dollar implications to homeowners across the United States. One lawsuit claims that NAR rules requiring home sellers’ brokers (“seller-broker”) to offer home buyers’ brokers’ (“buyer-broker”) compensation when listing a property on a local database of properties for sale called the Multiple Listing Service (“MLS”) have driven up costs to the seller and discouraged competition, violating the Sherman Antitrust Act.

Cal Law Trends and Developments
"Real property" as a topic exists only in a law professor's mind.

Cal Law Trends and Developments
During the year, the California courts made the acquisition of property, either by adverse possession or possession as a result of the owner's abandonment, more difficult. While the courts did not change the rules of law they insisted on their pristine application.
