Episode 46: The MLS is Dying (and the DOJ is Watching)
Episode 46
Thursday, 19 March, 2026
Grab your green beer (or a chest-mounted office plant) and settle in. In this episode of The Update, Tristan Ahumada and John Reilly break down why the traditional MLS might be losing its grip as heavy hitters like Zillow, Compass, and Redfin redraw the battle lines. We’re going into the Hana Holdings (Davis vs. Hanna Holdings) case and how the new Hana List is leveraging private listing networks to keep data in-house while pinky-swearing they still follow Clear Cooperation rules. Is this a brilliant way for an independent broker to reclaim their data ownership, or is the Department of Justice about to crash the party with a Statement of Interest? John explains why the switch from a "lead" to a "client" is where most agents accidentally stumble into a breach of fiduciary duty. Forget BRRETA in Georgia or begging for informed consent in Hawaii, you’d better understand disgorgement of commission, unless you enjoy the idea of the courts reaching into your bank account to take back every cent you earned, because losing your entire paycheck is a "heck of a penalty" that even a JAG Corps captain can't talk you out of. We also tackle fair housing concerns in private networks and why your office policy manual probably needs a legal exorcism. #RealEstateLawsuits #MLSUpdate #FiduciaryDuty #BrokerStrategy #RealEstateNews
