Litigation Escalates
The feud is part of a broader antitrust suit Compass filed in June, accusing Zillow of wrongfully banning listings that appear elsewhere for more than one day. Compass also sought to block Zillow’s enforcement of the policy during litigation, though the court only partially granted Zillow’s discovery motion in October concerning Compass’ $1.6 billion acquisition of Anywhere Real Estate Inc.
As the courtroom showdown continues, the case underscores rising scrutiny over power consolidation in real estate tech—an industry where digital listings have become the new currency of control.
Compass is represented by Luke Taeschler, Sima Namiri-Kalantari, Daniel A. Sasse, and Chahira Solh of Crowell & Moring LLP.
Zillow is represented by Beau W. Buffier, Bonnie Lau, Eric P. Tuttle, and Nicholas Sidney of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich Rosati PC.
